Bright and Cheery

What a gorgeous day it is this morning!!! Feels like July! Lets hope it stays like this!

Here is another card we will be making on Saturday!! I went all out on this one and its very busy and bright! Its a joy fold card using the Simply Said stamp set.

I have randomly stamped the card in the background with different flowers from the same set using a colour conbo of Pixie Pink, OLd Olive, So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie!. The flowers are from the Simply Scrappin Kit called Petal party. Used my trusty Circle of Friendship set layered up with the circle punches and the Scallop Circle punch.

Inside the card I have used the Frames with a Flourish set to use as a place to write your message.

Back tomorrow with another class project!

Simple Baby Card

My Mum and Dads friends became Grandparents for the first time a couple of weeks ago so I made them this card to give to them!

Very simple layout and design. Baby stamp is a Hero Arts stamp which I think is really cute! Mounted on Nesties and raised with foam pads. The paper is from the SU Sweet Always range and the cardstock used is Pretty in Pink.

The sentiment is printed on my PC and I have stamped a frame with the Frames with a Flourish set and added some little flowers. Not forgetting the new striped grosgrain ribbon to finish it off!

I didnt intend on posting this today, I had some other things to show you as I have been a very lucky girl this weekend when the postman came on Saturday but the weather is so bad here, lashing it down with rain and wind and I cannot get a decent photo!!! Hopefully tomorrow!!!

I am going to some SU training tonight and had to make 15 cards for swaps so will post those this week too!!!

Bye for now

A Jem of a card!!!!

I call my lovely team of girlies Julie's Jems and they all are gems!!!!!

We have our own private forum and have started doing challenges between us. Each fortnight one of the girls sends us all the same kit and we have to make a project and post it at an agreed time on our blogs!!

This is our first challenge and the fab Steph was the hostess!! Blimey she sent enough stuff for about 3 cards but I decided to throw it all on one card!! I used everything except 1 image and a sentiment!!!

The papers and card she sent are all Stampin Up from the Simply Scrappin Round Up kit which is retired but still available to purchase. The colour combo is Really Rust, CLose to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel and Sage Shadow.

Images have been coloured in with Stampin Up ink pads

I dont know the make of the flowers as Steph sent these, the linen thread is Stampin Up!

For the middle panel I stamped the sentiment from the Best Yet set and added a frame around it from Frames with a Flourish set. I added some ribbon and one of my bows with a flat back pearl in the middle! The flourish from the Yummy set in the corner to finish it off!

Another angle!!

Did some doodling round the edges as it was looking a bit sparse!!

Sorry for so many pictures!! Its a rather extravagent card for me!! Was hard to get photos of the correct angles!!!

Hope my Jems like it and I cannot wait to see all your creations! Thanks Steph for a lovely kit!! Jeannette its over to you!!!

Simple Wedding Card

My sisters friends got married in secret on Valentine's Day so she wanted to give them a card as a little momento and wanted some hearts on it. I have used a heart from the retired (but still available) Happy Hearts set. A very simple card with the heart stamped randomly and the spots stamped with the Polka Dot background stamp.

I printed their names off on the PC and then added the frame with the Frames with a Flourish set and added some flat backed pearls. Piece of Very Vanilla ribbon to finish off!

Well Sweeney is over, it went fab last night and I didn't get in until 3.30am but I am so glad its all over and I can get back to normal!! (is that a sign of getting old!!!)
