STAMPIN' UP! NUMBER OF YEARS, SHINE ON, BIRTHDAY CARD

Today I have to share with you a card I made for a special young man's recent milestone birthday.

I broke out my Number of Years stamp set (and accompanying Large Numbers framelits), and Shine On Specialty Designer Series Paper, for the first time, to make this card.  It's a very different colour scheme to what I'd normally choose, but I like the look of silver with kraft, teamed with Bermuda Bay.  It was a little hard to photograph this card, without getting a reflection of myself in the silver circle but here's what I came up with:

Listed below are all the current Stampin' Up! products I used on this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to buy them for yourself, you can go direct to my online store by simply clicking on one of the thumbnail images.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Posting will continue to be a bit sporadic, until my craft room is set up properly, but I look forward to resuming regular posts soon!

STAMPIN' UP! WATERMELON WONDER BOTANICAL BIRTHDAY CARD #2

I'm back with another card using the gorgeous, versatile, Botanical Builder framelits from Stampin' Up!'s current Occasions Catalogue.  The only stamping on this card (and the card shared a couple of days ago, in the same colourways) is the sentiment.  I just love all the details provided by die cuts, papers, ribbons and embellishments.

STAMPIN' UP WATERMELON WONDER BOTANICAL BIRTHDAY CARD #1

Surprise!  I'm back with a card to share.  After having done no stamping for around 2 months, I recently had a burst of energy and made two birthday cards for special women in my life.  My craft room is still in disarray, but I am hopeful it's only about another 2 weeks until all the cabinetry is in, and I can find homes for all the "stuff" that is cluttering up my room, and stifling my creativity.

This is the card I made for my niece's recent birthday.  I love how happy Watermelon Wonder is, as a colour.  Elements of glittery gold add a bit of elegance.  Oh, how I love the Gold Glitter tape that is one of the Sale-A-Bration freebies on offer until the end of March (it comes in a pack with silver and white glitter tape, too).  It's thicker than washi tape, but tears just as easily.  I've layered a thin strip of Basic Black cardstock over the glitter tape on this card, and it holds beautifully.  Another Sale-A-Bration freebie featured on this card is the Botanical Gardens vellum stack. 

While I had these products out on my craft desk, I made another card for a friend; make sure you come back in a couple of days, to see what I came up with!
