I'm going out to dinner tonight with one of my dear friends tonight ~ Dawn Marie ~ she's a fellow SU demo and if you click on her name you can see her blog! I wanted to take her a card made with goodies from the new catty and decided to use the triple wheel. She shared with me that she didn't 'really' care for it, so I thought I'd try to make her change her mind!!! I popped up the little flags on the bunting to make it a bit more special. I really love how this turned out, I hope she does too :)

Just a quick card before my bedtime ... this one proves that you don't have to get all fancy schmancy ... 2 background stamps and one sentiment with a tiny bit of ribbon trim and Bob's your Uncle! If you're not English, you won't know what that means .... hee hee!
I cut a piece of ruffled ribbon in half lengthwise and glued the ruffled edge to the sentiment strip. Easy peasy, lemon squeasy :)
My new friend and downline, Joi, has her birthday today. I've been trying to make her a card all week and my cards were just 'blah' so I'd given up! Well, I just thought I'd have a quick go at the sketch today from SCS and I came up with this! I'm going to drive the card over to her house and leave it at her front door while she visits her mum (shhhh, don't tell her!).
Look at this cute rose made out of Stampin' Up's seam binding ribbon. I was taught how to do this from a tutorial from a fellow SU demo in Dorset, England, Jo Dumbleton. Here's her video. It's really easy to follow ... and the results are FABULOUS! Thanks Jo!
Today's Colours on Splitcoast are Pool Party, Wild Wasabi and Chocolate Chip. Here's what I came up with. The photo makes it look like there's a nasty splodge by the butterfly (top right) ... but it's just my shimmer spray, it looks fine in the flesh!
Friends of ours had a baby boy when Sarah and I were away in England in June. I HAD to make a baby card ... and had a brainwave while making the pig card (below) ... why not try a washing line and pin up a baby-gro with the new mini pegs? How cute is this? I'm chuffed with this one ;)
So easy to make ~ take your Baby Tees wheel and roll your desired Baby-Gro onto Shimmery White Cardstock. Cut it out and colour it, stamp 2 trees to 'hang' your washing line on, string across your white baker's twine and hang your baby-gro onto the clothesline with the new Stampin' Up mini clothespins. Easy, peasy!
