Getting Started...

Well I have been working on this BLOG for a while and I just need to start posting my cards and photos on here instead of trying to make it look pretty, that can come later! I hope you come and visit often as I will try and put new cards and scrapbook pages on here regularly. I did say try, those that know me well are probably sighing!!


Below is a birthday card using the stamp sets Looks Like Spring from the 2007 Idea Book and Catalogue and Small Sayings from the Summer Mini Catalogue that I recently made in a workshop for an embossing technique.


I have used Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink and Close to Cocoa card stock. The flowers have been embossed (not sure if you can tell from the photo) using Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder. The smaller flowers were embossed and then punched out using the Spring Bouquet Flower Punch and adhered using Stampin' Dimensionals and a brad. I have used the Mat Pack to make the holes and also used Pale Pink Gingham Ribbon on the card. I used the Close to Cocoa classic ink pad for the 'Happy everything stamp'.

Below is another birthday card using the stamp set Friendship Blooms from the NEW Sale-A-Bration catalogue. If you do not have a copy of the new catalogue and would like one, please let me know via email or click on the link above to print one.


For this card I used the Friendship Blooms stamp set, Sage Shadow and whisper white card stock. I have stamped the flower images using a Perfect Plum classic ink pad and cut them out and then coloured them in using my Watercolour Wonder Crayons with a Blender Pen. I have also stamped the smaller flowers and cut those out and then using the 2 Way Glue Pen I have dipped the flower into the Dazzling Diamonds glitter and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. I have used a Stampin' Up brad and also applied the 2 Way Glue Pen and dipped the brad into the Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I have used a White Gel Pen to enhance the dots and tied Light Pink Gingham Ribbon around the card.
