Birthday Flowers

Hi everyone, Do you remember the picture of my mother-in-law receiving her Big Shot? Well, this is the birthday card I made for her:

The card base was made out of Pretty in Pink card stock. I used my Big Shot and the Fun Flowers die to create the flower, and the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder to create the background, using Ver Vanilla card. I used Pretty in Pink ink and my sponge daubers to go over the embossed background, highlighting the pattern.

The flower was cut out of Pretty in Pink and Very Vanilla cardstock, and the purple flower was cut from Lap of Luxury designer paper. Some of the flowers were embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.

I used a Rhinestone Brad in the centre of the flower. You get lots of these in a packet (approx 84), and they come in various colours. All for just £8.75.

The sentiment was stamped using Curly Cute - this is quickly becoming a favourite. You may see it slightly better in this photo:

I hope you like this card. Remember if you would like to buy any of these products, please contact me. Have a great day.

Top Note Box Class

We made this box at our team training a while ago using the Top Note Die and the Big shot.

During the Masculine cards class last night, I was asked to show people how to make this box in the next class, instead of doing scrapbooking. I aim to please so at the next class on 22nd June, 7.00-9.30pm, we will make a Top Note Box and I will teach you how to stamp on a candle, as in this example which I have posted before.

Both the box and the card are only examples and the stamp set we will use, on the night, will be the charity set Strength and Hope. Stampin' Up! will donate £1 from every set sold to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. For more details of the class please have a look at the classes tab at the top of the blog.

Back to the box. I used Rose Red cardstock and Springtime Vintage Papers. The flowers were cut using the Fun Flowers die, and some have been embossed with the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder.

The inside is divided into compartments.

Remember, if you would like to have a go at making one of these boxes or learn how to decorate a candle using stamps, contact me to book your place on the class on the 22nd June. x
