New Colour Blackberry Bliss Card Class No 2

Hi Stampers,

Here is a sneak peek of one of the new colours that will be released next week by Stampin Up.  I have Blackberry Bliss the darker out of the two (new) teamed here with Blushing Bride (current colour).  It is just gorgeous and definitely my favourite out of the five to be released.  It is along the same tone but a few shades darker than Rich Razzleberry.  I will be making this card in my next workshop to be held this weekend 28th June 2014. 

Thanks for looking

Six Sided Sampler Card class No 1

Hi fellow Stampers,

This card came about because I had some scrap Elegant eggplant card left over after making some wedding and engagement cards recently.  The pieces were just large enough to run through the bigshot with the Dienamics Spiral flower dies.  I combined it with Retro Sketch No 20 .  

It turned out great so I thought that would use it for my next card workshop on the 28th June 14.  

Mini Card in a Box

Hi Stampers,

I have another card in the box idea to share with you.  I just love this concept, I can't get enough.  I saw the original concept on a very talented UK stampin' Up demo Monica Gales website here.  The size on this one is a little different from the original concept though.  The best thing about this one is that you can get two bases from and A4 cut in half lengthwise and it fits into a standard size envelope.

I found the measurements based on this template from Diane Barnes.

CARD RECIPE:

STAMPS USED:  Flower Shop, Chalk Talk

CARDSTOCK:  Wisteria wonder, Very vanilla, Coastal cabana, Naturals ivory, Afternoon Picnic DSP, Pistachio Pudding

INKS:  Crushed curry, Coastal cabana, Wisteria wonder

ACCESSORIES:  Pansy, 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches, Simply score, Pistachio pudding ruffle ribbon, sponges.

Here are some other cards I made the same size as the one above.  I love how they turned out.

Thanks for stopping by.

Retro Sketch No 3

Hi Stampers, 

While surfing the internet via Pinterest I came across this great Website that had a great range of sketch challenges for cards Retro Sketches. And I being a big fan of sketches just had to try.  I started of knowing what stamp set that I wanted to use and simply chose a sketch that would fit the image.  I added a few more layers and a bow, but that's the idea to start with the sketch and make it your own.  Lookie here at how it turned out

Elegant Wedding Card

Hi Stampers,

Love seems to be in the Air, and I have needed to create many wedding cards this month and last.  I would like to share with you one I created this weekend.  The theme colours for this particular Wedding were purple and silver, always a great colour combination to work with.  This card is quite dimensional with the handmade flowers, so a box using the envelope punch board was created to finish off the project.
