Wedding Card Birdy Style!

Hello there! I am a little late blogging this morning as I have been making the most of the glorious weather and sorting my laundry and getting it all pegged outside!!! Hoping it stays like this for the next few days. Last night we had out regular Tuesday Club session and it was a fun night and I think one of the most productive for a long time. I think most of the ladies finished ALL the projects, which doesn't always happen. A few of us had challenging days yesterday and this group of ladies always seem to perk each other up, me included! Thank you to my Tuesday Club lovelies for your continued support and attendance at class. I did take the new catalogues along last night so that did add to the atmosphere as well as sharing Project Life with the girls too, I was so pleased by the positive response.

The ladies asked if we could do Wedding Cards this week so I was happy to oblige as it is wedding season after all. These cards will then go into my box for sale for Ross's Kenya fund as most of them contain retiring product so I cannot use them at my events.

 This card was cased from ones I have seen by 2 of my lovely downlines, Sam and Sally Jo. I love the Natural Composition papers which are on the Retirement List but have sadly sold out. I do have a few sheets left and these will be at my Launch Night on 4th July. For more info on that please check the Classes/Events page.

 We die cut a heart using the framelits and the Big Shot and then positioned lots of branches from the 2 step Bird punch around the heart. The sentiment is from One in a Million which is also on the Retirement List.

I think this was my favourite card of the evening. I will be back to share the others with you tomorrow.

Until then

Flowering Flourishes for an Engagement

Hello there! It's all go here in the Stampin Up world and I am so excited for our Retirement List and Demonstrator pre-order that start tomorrow! Be sure to check my blog or Facebook page for all the details. It's always a busy time of the year as we look forward to new goodies and say goodbye to old favourites. 

Today I am sharing a make which used 2 stamp sets that I think (and hope) will be staying with us, Flowering Flourishes and One in a Million. I was asked to make an engagement card and to be honest  I am a little lacking in engagement sentiments so I thought that this one from One in a Million fit the bill. I cut out a large heart using the framelits and magnetic platform and then I stamped the Very Vanilla piece with Flowering Flourishes in Crumb Cake.

Two little love birds were added to the bottom of the card and of course some of my trusty Seam Binding ribbon in Soft Sky. I just love it!

 Happy to say the lady who ordered the cards from me loved this one and donated a nice amount to my son's Kenya Appeal. 

Right thats all from me today as I get busy with sorting things for the next couple of days including a Social Stamping afternoon with my team members this weekend.

Gold embossed Wedding card

Hi there! I am back to my usual morning posting today! Do you ever make a card and you just love everything about it and don't want to give it away?? This is that card today!!! Part of my Tuesday Club makes doing Wedding/Anniversary cards (but ones that could be adapted for birthdays)

This is a gate fold card that is 14.8cm square, really easy to score using the Metric plate on the Simply Scored tool 

As you can see we did some Gold embossing which I think look stunning and all the ladies agreed and "Oooo'hd and Aaahhhhh'd over it.

We also stamped inside the card too.

And here are both cards together, they both took about the same amount of time to make which was handy as we were so busy last night that I had to split the ladies into 2 groups!

HOT OF THE PRESS - today we have a new product that is on SPECIAL OFFER for the month of May only. THIS AND THAT journal book and accessories with 15% off if you buy as a bundle from me in May.

Secret Garden technique

Hello there and welcome to my blog today! Thank you for all your comments on yesterdays card either here or on my Facebook page. They are very much appreciated. I will look into doing a little tutorial for you on yesterdays card ASAP. I survived the filling at the dentists OK and I asked him when was the last time I had to have a filling - 1994! WOW I am impressed that I haven't had one for 19 years!

So onto todays little number. Remember this technique I did a few weeks back with my Technique Club? Well I have had so many comments on the card so I thought I would share it with this weeks Tuesday ladies too. 

The colours we have used on this card are Midnight Muse and Crumb Cake, good old Crumb Cake - love it!

The inside was simply stamped with the same flower in Midnight Muse and the rest of the sentiment added

The sentiments are from a set called One in a Million and it is the first time I have used these. They are in 2 parts so you can use one on the front and one on the inside, as I have done!

Thought I would share Jane's version of the card front with you. Lovely delicate colouring and an alternative bow decoration! Lovely!

I will share the last card from the set tomorrow - it was the hardest one!
