First Frost Birthday

I love the new set "First Frost" which has been made as a Frosty Christmas set, but is equally beautiful as a Birthday, or Greeting Card making it a great purchase! How pretty it is with these colours: Tranquil Tide, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Mossy Meadow and Soft Seafoam!

Interview Thank You

I spent a couple of days earlier this week over in Boston where my daughter had a job interview (fingers crossed she will get the job!). She wanted to send a couple of thank you notes to the hiring manager and HR manager so I came up with these. She wanted them to be simple but make an impact. Not asking too much then!!!!

The Stamperatus came in really handy or this card. I was able to use SU markers to get colour variation in the leaves. I stamped them in Pear Pizzazz and then used Mellow Moss and Old Olive on individual leaves for depth.

Glass of Wine - Thank you!

A couple of my English friends and I spent a week visiting my lovely friend Sue at her cottage on Kiawah Island in SC. We had a lovely time with 85' weather and blue skies and sunshine. Came home to Michigan and it's rainy and autumnal!!!

I made a quick and easy thank you card for Sue which we all signed. I love how it turned out, especially the Crystal Effects on the wine glasses. I couldn't decide on the white wine colour but when I was using the Stampin' Blends, there wasn't much difference between light Daffodil Delight and light Pineapple Punch. However, now it's dry there's a considerable difference, I'm saying that 2 glasses are Chardonnay and 2 are a lighter Sauvignon Blanc!!!!!

Rooted in Nature - Masculine

Rooted in Nature is one of the new 2018/2019 stamp sets and I think it's going to be really useful! I needed a 70th Male Birthday card for a friend so I went for a centre stair step card (tutorial can be found on SCS here) with masculine colours, soft suede, mossy meadow and naturals ivory. I love how this turned out.
