A Slice Of Life

I've been playing around with some new rubber - have just received 'A Slice Of Life', which is a Level 1 hostess set from the new Summer Mini.  This set has some great images that can be used to make cards for a variety of occasions.  I have chosen to create a couple of baby cards and this is what I have come up with:

Girl Card:

and a Boy card:

Both sets use the Nursery Suite DSP and sentiment from 'A Word For You'.

 

Thanks for looking!

CASE Study #36

Here is my entry for this weeks challenge over at CASE study:

 

 

I've used  two stamp sets to make this card - firstly the Fast & Fabulous stamp set which is a Level 2 Hostess Set and secodnly, the 'Strength and Hope' set from the current mini catty. The 'Strength and Hope' set is a fabulous and very versatile set to use and I know I am going to get a lot of use from it! Plus, with every set that is sold, Stampin' Up! is donating $2.00  to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation

 

Card Recipe:

• Elegant Eggplant, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake cardstock
• Newsprint DSP
• Fast and Fabulous, Strength and Hope stamp sets

SAM April Challenge

Morning everyone!  First Monday of the month and it's Stamp-A-Memory challenge time again! the challenge for this month was to scrap a photo 10 years or older. For my page, I chose to scrap some old photos of my hometown of York:

 

I've chosen to keep this page fairly simple and have used DSP from the Elegant Soiree range. I love the self printed swirl on the bottom of the page - it saves having to add anything else there!! I've used my Bigshot and the wonderful range of dies & embossing folders that Stampin' Up! has to create most of the embellishments on my page. The trims at the bottom of the page were created using the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die from the  new Autumn-Winter Mini catalogue just released. You can find it on page 9. I can see that I will be getting a lot of use out of this die. If you haven't yet seen this catalogue, you can download it from here, or email me if you would like your own hard copy of the mini.

My title was created using  chipboard alphas from the Onboard alphabet that have been coloured with Cajun Craze ink, then run through the Lattice embossing folder. I didn't have numbers to create '100' so I used letters instead (who would know!!) . The rest of the title was made using the Medium Sizzlets Timeless Type Junior alphabet die (page 152 of the IDB&C).

My flower embellishment (have I mentioned before that I love using flowers???) has been made using the Paper Daisies pack (page 140 of the IDB&C). The two smaller flowers on top have been dyed using the Soft Suede Re-inker. I think it's great being able to dye these flowers to suit whatever colours I have used on my project!!

I hope you enjoyed looking at what I have created. Why don't you hop on over to Stamp-A-Memory and check out what the other talented Design Team Members have created. And while you're there, why don't you play along too?? We would love to see your creations!

Thanks for stopping by.

Bliss Birthday Card

A couple of weeks ago, Bev and I took a trip across to Port Lincoln in South Australia.  While we were there we had the chance to catch up with my up-line, Alisa, who I had not yet met face to face (I have been a demo since 2007!)

We went along to Linc 'n' Learn and took part in the cardmaking session. This is one of the cards made on the day:

 

The card uses Early Espresso, Marina Mist and Crumb Cake cardstock. The images are from the 'Bliss' stamp set from Sale-A-Bration and 'Well Scripted' from the Summer Mini catalogue.

While we were there, we also caught up with Bev Mantle, who is another very talented SU demo in Port Lincoln. She showed us her fabulous scrapping/stamping room and some of the projects she has been working on and also gave us a few ideas to CASE. I hope to show some of them to you shortly.

Thanks for stopping by!
