STAMPIN' UP! STIPPLED BLOSSOMS - CLASS CARDS PART 2

Welcome back to the second instalment in my two-part "series" of Stippled Blossoms cards, showing what we made in classes this month.

This card is my personal favourite, of all four we made - and it was a hit with my class attendees.  Stippled Blossoms works so well with a range of colours; and in neutrals, it's stunning.  Even though I designed this card as a sympathy card, I think it would work just as well as a wedding or engagement card, or even a 'get well' or 'thinking of you' card.

Card: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake

Ink: Crumb Cake and Soft Suede stampin' pads

Other: Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, 1 3/8" Circle punch, Itty Bitty Shapes circle punch, Designer Builder Brads, Stamp-a-ma-jig, 7/8" Cotton Ribbon

Lastly, we made a card in blues, using two retiring colours - Not Quite Navy, and Baja Breeze.

JAI #159: JUST ADD ..... A BUNNY!

Kim has set a fun challenge at Just Add Ink this week (since it's Easter), to Just Add ..... A Bunny!

We'd love to see your creation incorporating a bunny rabbit.  I was initially a bit stumped by this challenge, then remembered some images I'd stamped out last year when I borrowed the cute Everybunny stamp set from my friend Judy.  I knew they'd come in handy!! (See, people - it pays to hoard!)

Here's my Easter Egg-shaped card, photographed a bit wonky, but you get the idea:

 

Stamps: Everybunny, Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Distressed Dots, Itty Bitties

Card: Pool Party smooth and Core'dinations, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Watercolour Paper

Ink: Crumb Cake stampin' pad, Real Red stampin' pad and marker, Pool Party stampin' pad, Regal Rose stampin' pad

Other: Aquapainter, Ovals Framelits, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Honeycomb embossing folder, sanding block, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, Artisan embellishment kit, Real Red 1/8" taffeta ribbon, sponge dauber, Needlepoint Border embossing folder, glue dots, stampin' dimensionals

 

 

 



STAMPIN' UP!'S POP-UP POSIES : CALYPSO CORAL CARD #2

I have to share with you today another card that is the result of my play with my new Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit.  The kit contains 'ingredients' to make 9 gorgeous tags - lots of layered flowers, designer brads, embossed tags and a cute "Just For You" stamp.

I love how this card turned out.  Hubby says it's very "in your face", which to me means I'm on a winner! LOL.  I'll let you be the judge!

..... and a close-up of the flower, so you can see how I stamped it, using Calypso Coral ink, with my Netting background stamp:
