Birthday Flowers

I was really happy with how this card turned out. It's a 5 1/2" square card, the top layer was cut with the circle thinlit scallop circle and the actual card base was just stamped with assorted inks and the set Flower Patch. A quick greeting banner and a coordinating button were added to finish it off.


Recipe
Stamps : Flower Patch
Ink : Blushing Bride, Rose Red, Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizzazz, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon
Cardstock : Shimmery White
Accessories : Big Shot, Circle Thinlits, Designer Subtles Collection (button), twine

Chrissie's 60th

A friend of mine is going to be 60 next week. She lives in England so I have to get this sent off today or it won't arrive in time. Because international posting is so picky, I had to leave embellishments off this card, it needs to be flat in the envelope. I used the gorgeous Blushing Bride Glimmer paper for the heart to compensate!!!!




Recipe
Stamps : Number of Years
Ink : Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake
Cardstock : Blushing Bride, Shimmery White, BB Glimmer
Accessories : Big Shot with Large Numbers Framelits and Bloomin' Heart Thinlit

Baby Evie




Our friends in England, Chrissie and James, had a new granddaughter last week. She's so sweet, her parents have named her Evelyn (Evie for short). I love that name! I put together this non-traditional baby card using Bloomin' Love and some thinlit dies. I wanted to have the negative image with the colour behind and after a bit of fiddling, came up with this.

Recipe
Stamps : Bloomin' Love
Cardstock : Shimmery White, Calypso Coral
Ink : Calypso Coral
Accessories : Big Shot, Hearts a Flutter thinlit, Little Letters Thinlit, rhinestones.

Non SU Birthday Card

It's very rare I post a non-Stampin' Up project. I am very picky about stamp companies I will spend my money on. This card is made with my "other" favourite stamp manufacturer. Love it! Made this for my friend Barb's birthday. The "B" is made with a Stampin' Up set called Sophisticated Serifs.
