Cheerful Treat Card

When I had finished my pop up box card the other day, I was left with a strip of the Cheerful Treat DSP, so I decided that I would make a card with this.
I used Concord Crush card stock for the base card, and layered a piece of Whisper White on top of the strip of Cheerful Treat DSP which I had scalloped using the Scallop Trim Border.
I then made a feature panel of the flower spray from Charming, stamped in Concord Crush on Whisper White and layered this on a piece of Concord Crush.
A band of Concord Crush Stitched Poly ribbon was placed across the middle of the card with a flat Julie bow on the right hand side.
Sentiment from Sincere Salutations.
Compulsory bling of Basic Rhinestones added and voila!
Who would have thought this card could have been made from such a small scrap of DSP - it just goes to show!!

Happy Birthday Karyn

Today is my Stampin' Up! sister Karyn's birthday.
For her card I have used Crumb Cake and Whisper White cardstock.
I have cut out the white with the Top Note Die and stamped both Crumb and White with Crumb Cake ink using the You are loved stamp-set.(Don't you just love it?)
The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations and the butterflies are cut with the Beautiful Wings embosslit. Obligatory bling today is Basic Pearls.

Neutrals and Concord Crush

Today Chris B and myself have spent the day with Chris G (sis-in-law).
We spent a little time talking all things Stampin Up and what we are all ordering next, did some crafting, had lunch and drank coffee (with a little help from Mr Kipling!)
We all made the basic card, then put our own little twist on it.
We used the Neutrals Designer Paper stack, and cut it into strips 1.1/2 cm wide, then wove them to make the background. Matted this onto a piece of Concord crush. Sentiment from Sincere Salutations stamped in Concord Crush onto whisper white. Scallop corner punch used on two corners only. Vintage Vogue flowers stamped in Concord Crush and cut out, then popped up on Dimensionals,a dazzling rhinestone plced in the centre of the flower. Leaves punched out using the Extra large Bird punch. Whisper white 5/8* satin rubbon inked with Concord Crush inkpad to match.
Love it!!

Punch Bunch Owl

What about this little beauty then - isn't he cute! I think that this card is suitable for either a bloke or a lady.
And... guess what - the punch that will punch him out will be available to purchase from the mini-catalogue thats due come 1st April!! Can't wait!!

Greenhouse Gala Wiper Card

This is the card that Christine and I made on Wednesday using the new Baja Breeze cardstock and ink, Pear Pizzazz cardstock, Greenhouse Gala DP and of course, not forgetting the Ornate Flowers stampset. I had to use the 1/8" taffeta ribbon in Marina Mist but I think that it blends in quite well, don't you? The greeting is from "Sincere Salutations".

















And here's another view of the same card - completely flat.
