Belated Birthday Card

I've done it again - I've missed someone's birthday so had to make a belated card.

I missed the post yesterday afternoon as well, so it won't go now until tomorrow!

Oh well - they do say better late than never so I hope Alex will like this card.

The colour combo is Real Red, Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla.

Once again I have used the candlelight Christmas Speciality DSP and I have used the flocked Acetate. 

 To fix it to the card I used double sided tape where the flowers are placed

 and then attached the flowers with the brads to ensure it was secure.

Flowers punched with the Blossom and Boho Blossom punches.

Hope that you had a great  birthday Alex!!

Happy Birthday Sally- Jo

Here's the card that I have made for my SU sister Sally-Jo.  

It's a thank you also for all the inspiration she has given to me over the past year.

I have used a favourite colour combo of Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark and embossed in White EP and is from Petite Pairs stamp-set.

The flower is punched in Cherry Cobbler with the Boho Blossom Punch.

The leaves are punched using the Bird Builder Punch.

The oval is embossed with the Textured Impressions Designer frames Embossing Folder, 

then a large oval is punched and glued on top.

The background paper is Timeless Portrait DSP.

The  Julie bow is made using 5/8" Whisper White Satin Ribbon.

Happy Birthday Sally-Jo - have a great day!!.

Another Mixed Bunch Blossom punched card

Today I have played with the Mixed Bunch stamp-set and Blossom punch again!!

I just love the shape of this flower and you all know how much I love monochrome!

I have simply punched 3 flowers in Island Indigo and three in Whisper White

which I glued together in pairs.

I then stamped the centre flowers in co-ordinating ink (embossing the NTN one with white EP) 

 and then punched out this using the Boho Blossom punch.  

I then stuck this onto a 1" circle in the contrasting colour. 

The card is a white  DL size and I matted and layered a Next to Navy,

then a Whisper White layer which I had embossed with the Square lattice folder.

The just for you sentiment is from the Just Believe stamp-set and I layered this onto

a punched modern label of Next to Navy.

What do you think??

Another thank you card

Here's another little 10cm square thank you card.

I used this piece that I had found in my trusty bit box,  that had been stamped 

and coloured in using the Bordering on Romance little flower.

I layered this onto a mat of  Baja Breeze card stock

I then punched a flower out of Blushing Bride using the Blossom Punch and added two tiny flowers

 with the Boho Blossoms Punch.  A tini pear finished the centre of the flower nicely.

Sentiment from Petite Pairs.

Kusudama flower bookmark

I received a comment on Chris's Circle Circus birthday card from Sandy Ang on Friday, so I visited her blog in return and found the instructions for this corner bookmark with a kusudama flower dangle.
I have used the Newsprint DSP to make these as it seemed appropriate and was very similar to the DSP that Sandy Ang had used. You could of course use old books, but I can't bring myself to deface books however old and tatty they are.
I used the 1/8" Basic Black taffeta ribbon and punched small flowers for the back of the bookmark with the Boho Blossoms punch.
I think that you can see details of the bookmark in situ quite clearly so can see how snugly it fits on the corner of the page.
If you would like to have a go yourself, visit her blog
HERE and leave her a comment.

Mothers' Day

Here's another Mothers' Day card that I have made - this time for my friend Nicky.
I have used the Square Lattice embossing folder inked this time with Pacific Point. The leaves are from the Extra large bird punch and the flowers are a combination of the Boho Blossom punch and Itty Bitty Bits flowers stamped and then punched out. Finishing touches - the gorgeous Organza Ribbon and Basic Pearls (tho' there's nothing basic about them - they are beautiful!)

90th birthday card

Geralds mum will be 90 this week and he and Maggie wanted to mark the occasion - This is what I came up with for them. Cardstock and inks Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White. Very Vintage wheel and Boho Blossoms punch for flowers and Bird punch for leaves.
