STAMPIN' UP!'S EVERYTHING ELEANOR FOR STB #9

This week's challenge at Seize the Birthday is to make a feminine birthday card, using this great sketch:

My colour choices were decided for me when I picked out Stampin' Up!'s Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper to use .... LOVE the combination of Soft Suede, Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla.  Here's what I came up with:

Stamps: Everything Eleanor, Flowering Flourishes, Made for You

Card: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla

DSP: Comfort Cafe and Cajun Craze Patterns Designer Series Papers

Ink: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze stampin' pads, Soft Suede and Cajun Craze markers

Other: Very Vanilla seam binding, Linen Thread, Basic Pearls, sponge daubers, paper snips, Window Frames collection framelits, Large Oval punch

 

 



PP # 131 : STAMPIN' UP! FLOWERING FLOURISHES

I have inked up my new Flowering Flourishes stamp set for the first time, to make a sympathy card for a dear fellow crafter who has been dealt some very difficult cards lately.

I'm entering this card in this week's challenge at The Paper Players; it has been way too long since I've played along with them, so one of my resolutions, starting off the year, is to rectify that.

Here's the card I made, with pops of Stampin' Up!'s beautiful Daffodil Delight (although I didn't realise until I'd finished that the ribbon is actually So Saffron - oh well!).  The subtle addition of two white butterflies has some significance, that I hope will be special to the recipient.

 

Stamps: Flowering Flourishes, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Card: Crumb Cake, Whisper White

DSP: Daffodil Delight Patterns Designer Series Paper

Ink: Crumb Cake stampin' pad

Other: Beautiful Wings embosslits, Lacy Brocade embossing folder, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, sponge dauber, White Organza ribbon, So Saffron taffeta ribbon, glue dots, Fancy Flower punch, 5-Petal Flower punch (retired), Boho Blossoms punch, Basic Pearl, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Sticky Strip
