The last two Sale-A-Bration cards

Hi everyone, I hope you've had a great weekend. Wasn't the sunshine lovely? Here are the last 2 cards we made at card class last weekend. This was my favourite card - I think I just really liked these colours although they look a bit dull in this photo:

The stampset is the FREE Outlined Occasions set and I used Lucky Limeade for the base card, and scraps of Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Coral Calypso and the Boho Blossoms punch to make the flowers. My favourite Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch and some Calypso Coral card created the border. I also used the fantastic Every Day Enchantment FREE Sale-A-Bration designer papers. The sentiment was stamped with Staz-On ink and coloured with the In Colour markers which match all the papers and card colours. Here are the close ups:

Now for the last card. This is actually very similar to one I have shown you before here. This time I've used Crumb Cake for the base card and I've stamped the images using Lucky Limeade ink and the FREE Elementary Elegance stamp set:

I used Pear Pizzazz seam binding and Tangerine Tango for the lovely little rose. It should have had a rhinestone in the middle but it fell out and I didn't notice until after I had taken the photos. Here's a close up of the flower:

To make the flower, I punched a large circle, cut it into a spirral and rolled it up. This works equally well with the scalloped circle punch too. I've used my Colour Spritzer tool again - can you see the 'speckled' effect?

Anyway, I hope you like these cards. Remember, if you want any of the FREE products, contact me to place a £45 order. I'll be showing you a preview of our Mother's Day class project soon - we'll be making a flip photo album with a matching card, so keep looking and don't forget to book your place if you want to join in with us on the class..x

Hello and Get Well Soon

Hi everyone, someone at work hasn't been very well lately so I made this Get Well card. I used Pink Pirouette for the base card and stamped the image from Elementary Elegance in Regal Rose ink:

I used Rose Red seambinding for the bow and the flower was made by punching a large circle out of Concorde Crush, cutting it into a spiral and then rolling it into a rose shape. There is a rhinestone in the middle, although it's a bit hard to see. The leaf is punched using the Bird Builder punch in Lucky Limeade. Here are a couple of close ups:

This card was based on a card made by Heather at Downstairs Designs. The original is here. Where's the Get Well bit, you may ask? Well, I stamped the Get Well sentiment on the inside but you'll have to take my word for it as I forgot to take a photo. Hope you like this card. x

Sale-A-Bration time with Elementary Elegance

Hi everyone, have you had a look yet at all the gorgeous FREE stamp sets and papers you could get during Sale-A-Bration? All my goodies arrived on Monday and they are gorgeous.

I did a workshop on Wednesday and a very big Thank You to the hostess, Samanthi. The majority of the people who came, managed to earn a FREE stampset so don’t delay and get in touch to either book a party/workshop or to place an order.

This is the card we made as a Make and Take using Elementary Elegance. It was simple but very effective and everyone did a beautiful job:

We used So Saffron card and Soft Suede ink. Some Very Vanilla satin ribbon and some rhinestones to finish it off. The curly label punch matches the centre of the stamped image perfectly, so that is what we used to create the centre label in Very Vanilla cardstock.

When I got home I wanted to have a play with my Spritzer tool which also arrived on monday. I love the effect you can get with this gadget. It 'blows' ink from a marker pen onto your card, so you can use any colour you like. I used Soft Suede to match the ink I had stamped with. Here's the result. I think it really adds a little 'something' and stops the card looking quite so 'bare'. What do you think?

Here's a close up. This is so easy to do. Get in touch to get your FREEBIES, so you can use these lovely stamps.

I'll be back soon with some Sale-A-Bration cards. Keep checking. x
