Get Well Cara

One of my Stampers 10 customers, Cara,  has recently been in hospital for over a week, 

so now she is home and recuperating, I made this get well card for her.

Colour combo is Coastal cabana, Baked Brown Sugar, Tangerine Tango and So Saffron.

The frame was fussy cut after using the  Textured Impressions Designer frames Embossing Folder, 

The flowers were stamped with Petite Petals stamp set and cut with the matching punch.

The flower centres are cut using the Itty Bitty Flower punch, and the white centre is the cut out tiny dots

after using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch. Leaves cut with the Bird Builder punch.

Sentiment from teeny Tiny Wishes.

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery Cara!

Zoo Babies Pop-up box card

I have admired all the beautiful pop up box cards that I have seen on my travels,

but only just got round to making one.  The inspiration that spurred me on

was my Stampin' Up! Mummy Julie's card which was on display at our

Monthly Training Session last Wednesday.

I didn't have this stamp set, but my good friend and down-line Carol kindly brought the 

stamp set to our Thursday Craft Class and together we set about making this.

The stamp set used is Zoo Babies, and the colour combo is

So Saffron, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, and Tangerine Tango.

All the little animals were stamped, then fussy cut and stuck onto acetate strips.

The papers used were Retro Fresh DSP.

If I decide to part with this, I will put a number on the front flap showing how old the recipient is.

The sentiment is from Banner Greetings (Hostess).

I am so pleased with the result -

thanks Julie for the inspiration - might now have a go at different designs.
