Christmas Joy Card

I loved the style of this card so much I just had to make another using Christmas papers and stamps!

I've used the retired Jolly Holiday DSP and the lovely Dasher stamp as well as the Contempo Christmas stamp set.

Hope you like them

Plane and Simple

I know that this set has now been retired but when I was asked to make a card suitable for a young man, this stamp set immediately sprang to mind.

The design is a joy fold card and the idea came from a card made at a recent class at the Craft Spa.  My finished card is completely different though as I've used different papers and stamps.

To fit in with the travel theme of the plane, I've used the maps from the Newsprint DSP in the 2010-11 catalogue.  Sadly this paper is no longer available.

I'm really pleased with the finished card and will be having another go with some of the beautiful new papers in the 2011-12 catalogue.

Stampin' Royalty Challenge #96

The Stampin' Royalty Challenge this week is a colour challenge using Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride and Peach Parfait.   This is what I've come up with ...

The stamp set is Flight of the Butterfly which is perfect for this card.  I've also used the Scallop Square punch and the Scallop Edge Border punch.  The paper is Melon Mambo with some In Colour 2010/12 DSP for the central strip.

Yesterday's Card Class

Yesterday we had a great day making cards using the lovely Build a Blossom stamp set and matching punch.   As well as four cards, we made a tea light holder following Victoria's wonderful tutorial.

As you can see, they were concentrating on what they were doing and totally oblivious to the camera!

Can't wait for the next class now!  Watch this space for more details.  If you'd like to join us next time, please email me for more details

Happy Birthday Boys!

Today is the birthday of my boys,  or should I say young men?

The cards are the same but different which I hope they appreciate!  They are forever complaining that I dressed them the same when they were small which they hated.   Funny that now they can choose, they invariably choose the same things ...

Anyway, have a great day boys

I've used the now retired Newsprint DSP and some lovely buttons and linen thread to make this simple but effective cards.

Happy Birthday Paul

Today is my friend Paul's birthday.  I won't see him today but we're going to both eat chocolate cake to celebrate.  Hopefully he will have opened his card by now and appreciate the cake and candle!

The card is made with the now retired scrapbook kit which is also perfect for cards.

Hope you enjoy your day Paul
