More Baby Blossom Cards

These are the last of the Baby Blossom cards. Using the same colours as before: Daffodil Delight, More Mustard and Pear Pizzazz designer paper. We also used the Scallop Oval punch and the Oval punch (large) on these cards and created the holes in the scallops using the Piercing Tool. 

Now before I show you any more, I really do need to give credit to the person who designed these cards, Jenny Moors. She does some wonderful tutorials and this is one of her sets. Here's a close up of the detail on the 'label':

The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from one of the level 2 hostess sets called Something to Celebrate. Remember you too could earn FREE stamp sets by hosting a Stamping Up! workshop at home. Give me a ring if you would like more information. Here's the last card:

For this card we used Very Vanilla for the background, although it looks white in the photo, and we embossed it using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and the Big Shot. Quite a few of the flowers and leaves in the Baby Blossoms stamp set come in different sizes and here you can see the small rose and the larger rose being used. 

I hope you have enjoyed these cards and that they have inspired you. Please don't hesitate to email me or phone me if you would like to order anything or if you just want a chat about anything on this blog. x

Baby Blossom cards and a quilt

Hi, today I wanted to show you one of the cards we made at card class on Wednesday. We all had a lovely time and everyone worked hard to complete their box and 3 cards, but there never seems to be enough time. Foolishly, I didn't take photos of what everyone made which is a shame as the sets looked completely different when done in different colours.

Some of the girls weren't able to make the class so they will make their projects this Wednesday. I'll try and remember to take photos of the pink set. The blue set was really vivid but you'll just have to take my word for it as no-one is making a blue set on Wednesday. On Wednesday, the rest of us will be making projects using the Owl punch, so I'll post photos of them later in the week. Here's a close-up of the card, above.

For the yellow set we used Daffodil Delight and More Mustard card and ink, Very Vanilla for the background and some Pear Pizzaz. The Baby Blossom stamp set is absolutely lovely. You can make such a variety of background papers with it, the possibilities are endless. The edging was done using the Scallop Trim border and corner punch.


Now, it was my birthday last week and my mother-in-law made me this beautiful quilt:

Photos could never do it justice but it is absolutely gorgeous. It is backed with this lovely Japanese fabric:

She gave it to me during card class, and I think most of the  girls now want to take up quilting too!
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend, despite the rain.x
