Jenny's Birthday Card...

It was Jenny's birthday on Wednesday, I made this card for her using the Altenew Persian Motifs Stamp set, I love using it so much! I think its so classy and elegant.

I heat embossed a selection of the flowers all over the card in Wow! gold powder, then simply coloured the petals in with my blue Copic pens. For the leaves I tried a new technique and filled them in with Indian gold ink, I think it gave them a lovely shine and looked kind of different depending on the way the light hit it.

I made the frame just using two rectangle dies, one inside the other. The sentiment is from the stamp set 'It's All Relative' from Wow! which is also heat embossed in the same gold.

What do you think?

Cindy's Birthday...

I just want to say happy birthday Cindy I hope you have an amazing day.

Cindy was actually lucky to receive a card from me at all this year because as I was making it, I decided I loved it to much to give away but mum convinced me you can't hang on to everything.:)

This is the finished card -

I really love how it turned out. The background and patterned paper I used is from a 6x6 paper pad from doodlebug called 'Kraft in Color' which is just a picture of all different patterns in the basic colour selection.

I then die cut the banner from the set Justrite 'Buntings & Buttons' in SU Basic Black and also cut out a selection of clouds from a few dies I have (the largest cloud is actually a top of a cupcake)

To finish it all off I just layered it up and used the sentiment from crazy about you stamp set and thinlits dies which I heat embossed with the Wow! powders to give a little shine.

I hope you love it as much as I do.

Project Life - Roundstone Pick Your Own...

Back in July last year Mum and I took Rosa and Austin fruit picking at Roundstone - Pick Your Own Farm, the kids had a great time in the strawberry fields but didn't quite understand that they were meant to just pick them and put them in there baskets and not eat them. :) Here is the Project Life double layout I created -

Happy 14th Birthday Sofie!!

Yesterday was Sofie's 14th birthday, we went to westfeild shopping center for the day, as Sofie is at the stage that she just wants money for her birthday, so she can go shopping and choose her own presents (and we get to enjoy the day). :)

This is the card I made for her...

The patterned paper is from the Simple Stories I Am collection, I am a little obsessed with it, its just so beautiful. Almost to gorgeous to use, but i'm trying to not be a hoarder and enjoy using it not just keep it safe stashed away for years. The yellow bunting at the top is from a Justrite dies set called - Bunting and Buttons Die, which I then embossed in the Swiss dots embossing folder.

This is us at Nando's for dinner (Sofie's choice), it was lovely!

Happy Birthday Sandie!

I made Sandies card using the gorgeous Stampin Up butterfly die, I love this die so much it cuts out so nicely and is just beautiful.

I also heat embossed 'Stitched Circles' Justrite background stamp in 'Azure' which is the perfect match for Stampin Ups Tempting Turquoise.

Hope you had a great day Sandie!

More Project Life...

Two More Pages Complete :)

The first one is of Grandads 60th Birthday we spent at the grand. I only used one project life card for this layout (the white & grey stripe), for all the rest of I used a selection of Stampin Up card stock.

For the second layout the photos are from when we all spent the day just before Christmas at Longleat Zoo. The paper I used is the 'Frosty Friends' collection from Doodlebug.

Altenew Stamps...

As many of you know mum just treated herself to some new stamp sets from the company Altenew. We both had a play with the set called 'Hennah Elements' the other night.

This is what I created...

They stamp out so perfectly and I think really suit bright bold colours. On the card above I just layered them together then coloured them in with Copics.

On the second card I again layered and then heat embossed them with the WOW! Bright White and I think it really works with these types of flowers (Unfortunately I forgot to use the embossing buddy on the large flower at the bottom! :( but overall it came out ok)

Birthday Card...

Today's card I made using the Stampin up 'Starburst Dies' I really love that they are a circle shape with just a little bit of a different edge to them. I am very tempted to buy the stamp set that fits inside. I'm just not sure how often you would use those words.

I also tried the resist technique by heat embossing with Wow! superfine 'opaque bright white' onto white card stock and then distressing with Tim Holtz 'Spiced Marmalade' all over the top, I really like the way it turned out actually I wasn't sure as I was doing it but now its on the card I think it really pops and that its kind of nice that it has a bit of texture to the colour.

I have also used the stamp by Justrite called 'Ticking Stripe' and heat embossed that in Wow! 'Matallic Silver' onto SU 'Bermuda Bay' card stock. The orange that you see is actually just SU washi tape that I have punched out and placed on top to add a bit more colour to the card.

What do you think of the resist technique?

Nan's Birthday...

Its nan's birthday on Monday, so we are all going for a family lunch to celebrate. We are going to try Jimmy's the new buffet in Brighton marina, we have all heard very mixed reviews so fingers crossed its ok.

This is the box card I made for her using the new 'Flower Patch' stamp and die set by stampin' up (sorry I know I used it on my last card as well I just love it).

I used the colour's Pool party, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz and Stampin' Up So Saffron patterned paper on the outside of the box. For the box itself I used Cardstock in Crumb Cake.

I heat embossed on the flaps of the box with the Wow! Canvas stamp in Pale Gold, I love the Texture it gives to the box. I also added a little bit of Wink of Stella to some of the flowers to make them sparkle as they move around.
