Vintage Vogue - three flowers and a tag

Hi everyone, this is my favourite of the 3 cards we made in card class. It involved a fair bit of cutting out but I was really pleased with the end result:

 

I must apologise for the quality of these photos. I used my new i-pad but haven't quite got the hang of it and for some reason when I blog the photos, they don't look anything like as good as they do on the i-pad or computer. There are probably some settings I need to adjust - I just haven't found them yet.

 

I used Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Crumb Cake and Whisper White cardstock, inks and ribbon on these cards. Here's a close up of the flowers (you'll have to ignore my thumb):

 

 

The last card was made using Vintage Vogue, the Big Shot and the Two Tags die. The base card was crumb cake and again I used Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder. For some reason I did not take a photo of the card itself but hopefully you can see it in this picture of all 3 of the cards. I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder to emboss the Elegant Eggplant background:

 

 

I did take this close up:

 

 

Between the lack of photos, the poor quality photos and my thumb, I was clearly having some issues this day.

 

The 'Just for You sentiment is from the Tea Shoppe stamp set. I'll showcase this stamp set at a later date. If you like the Vintage Vogue stamp set then don't delay ordering as sadly it's being discontinued.

 

I'll be back with an anniversary card soon. see you then. x 

 

P.S. I made the 3 flower card again using Pool Party and Indigo Island for a colleague who is off sick. I love these colours. See what you think:

 

 

 

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.
