A SHABBY CONGRATULATIONS CARD!!

I made this card a month or 2 ago now and realised I hadn’t shown you.  I needed to wait until the special person had received it – and then well, I forgot to show you.  I made this card for a lovely friend of mine who had just achieved one of her dreams in life.  It has been exciting watching her work towards this goal over the last few years.  She kept this dream alive the whole time through all the obstacles and through all the steps needed to achieve it.  It was so wonderful the day she told me she had “done it!!!”.  I had to make a card to celebrate! 

P1140592

This is very much her style.  Vintage, shabby, all the little details.  I did CASE this card off Pinterest but can’t tell you who sorry.

The greeting is from the Kit ‘Everyday Occasions’.  I love the greetings in this kit.  This was stamped in Lost Lagoon and cut with the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits.  This is a great die-cutting set for any greetings.  Don’t just think of them for Project Life. I added some Rhinestones for the bling factor. The Whisper White card is embossed with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder.  I added half a doily to the top and wrapped around some Linen Thread and punched out some banners with the Banner Punch.  The flower is punched from Hello Honey card using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch. The white is layered onto Lost Lagoon mat and then adhered to a Whisper White card base.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend however you spend it.  I do hope there is some creating in it 🙂

Stop by again soon,

CHERRY DRESS!!

Here is another card I made up last week using the ‘Dress Ups’ Die.

P1080010

I added a little lace to the top (which is a bit hard to see!).  I cut another 1/2 a dress in Very Vanilla and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  This was just added underneath the Cherry Cobbler dress. Can you believe this is the first time I have used Pink Pirouette!!!! I thought I should start getting used to this colour as Pretty in Pink is leaving us soon.  I ran the card through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder.  The Cherry Cobbler paper is from the ‘Festival of Prints’ pack (retired).  I love the Happy Birthday stamp. I have used it so much lately and it is such a bargain at $11.95 ($AUS).  I stamped this on Crumb Cake and cut it out with the Apothecary Framelits and then paper pierced around the edge.  I managed to find just enough Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon to finish it off.

I better get going.  I really should be packing right now.  We are heading off to Canberra tomorrow for the week.  Josh is playing in the Gridiron (American Football) Nationals.  I am very proud of him making the state team especially since this is his second season playing.  But I really don’t cope well with watching him.  It is so stressful!!!  I hate seeing him pounded into the ground.  We are planning a few family activities while we are there so hopefully that will calm the stress!!  The games will be live Streamed through their Facebook page. If you want to check out the promotional video then you can check that out here.

Have a good week.  I hope to stop by some time through the week to post some projects.  See how we are going!!  Hopefully I have fingernails and hair left!!!! LOL

MARINA MIST SECRET GARDEN!

While I am on a roll with ‘Secret Garden’ cards I thought I would show you another one.  This card was inspired by this card here.

Here is my version.

P1070673

The flowers are stamped in Midnight Muse onto Marina Mist card and cut with the matching Framelits.  The large flower was stamped a second time and the middle section was cut out and layered onto the large flower.  Yes, cut with scissors! The greeting is from “Petite Pairs” and stamped in Midnight Muse on to Whisper White. Then this was layered onto Midnight Muse card.  For the base I ran a piece of Marina Mist card through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and layered it on to the Marina Mist Card base.

I have been playing with some other stamps from the new Seasonal Catalogue AND Sale-A-Bration.  So much to play with at the moment!  I love to have you vist.  I hope you can visit again soon.

I have another card to show you using the ‘Secret Garden’ Stamp Set.  This is similar to the card I showed in the last post but I did actually make this one first.  This is for my lovely friend Leonie N for her birthday.  I won’t tell you how old she turned!!! 😉

CARD: Whisper White, Marina Mist, Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery.

STAMP: Secret Garden.

INK: Black StazOn.

OTHER: Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Ovals Framelits, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet (retired), Marina Mist Satin Ribbon (retired), Adhesive Pearls.

I was really pleased with how this turned out.  I love this Embossing Folder.  You really don’t need much more to a card.  It just adds such lovely texture.

P1070667

So, what’s new here??? I have used the new set Secret Garden stamp set.  Isn’t it nice we have matching Framelits that can cut the flowers out!! No more fussy cutting here!  I have stamped them in Black StazOn on coloured card using some of the new Incolors: Summer Starfruit, Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals.  I stamped the “Beautiful Birthday” greeting and cut it out with the new Oval Framelites. This was all layered onto a piece of Whisper White embossed with the new and very versatile ‘Honeycomb’ Embossing Folder.  This is all finished off with some Raspberry Ripple Satin Stitched ribbon and some Adhesive Pearls.  Simple!!!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Please feel free to leave a comment.  It is nice to know I am not talking to myself here.  🙂

Till next time,  Happy Stamping.
