STAMPIN' UP! VARIED VASES BIRTHDAY CARD IN BLACKBERRY BLISS

I broke open my pack of Country Lane Designer Series Paper (oh my goodness, it is gorgeous!), and decided to team it with Varied Vases, a stamp set I have barely used.

Here's the first card I made ... a welcome change from Christmas card production, and I just love these colours together:

I stamped the floral spray in Mint Macaron ink, then used a blrnder pen to pick up colour from the inkpad and apply to the flowers.

All of the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card are listed below, and are available to purchase from my online store.  Clicking on any of the thumbnail images below will take you directly to my store.  If you live in Australia, and don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator,  I would love for you to shop with me.

I will have another Varied Vases/Country Lane card to share with you in a couple of days; I hope you'll visit again, to see what I created with different coloured papers from this lovely pack.

STAMPIN' UP! FEATHERS & FROST CHRISTMAS CARD IN CHERRY COBBLER

As this post goes live, I'll be preparing to go in to Stampin' Up!'s OnStage event, with hundreds of other excited demonstrators, in Melbourne.  It's a one-day event chock-full of exciting announcements (new products coming!), celebrating Stampin' Up!'s 30th anniversary, business tips, sharing ideas, and catching up with friends from around the country.  We have these events twice a year, and they truly are a highlight on my calendar!

As much as I love the Old Olive checked paper I used on yesterday's card, I think this card is my favourite of the two designs I came up with.  I like the mix of the rustic Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, and the bold Cherry Cobbler polka dot paper.  Which of the two is your favourite?

Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, and you live in Australia, I would love for you to shop with me.  My online store can be accessed by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

STAMPIN' UP! FEATHERS & FROST CHRISTMAS CARD IN OLD OLIVE

How cute is the Feathers & Frost stamp set in Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalogue?!  My first play resulted in two designs, that I'll share with you today and tomorrow.

Today's card is predominantly in Old Olive tones, and I've used the 5/8" Striped Burlap ribbon, and Sprig Punch, both also from the Holiday Catalogue.  After colouring the sweet bird with Stampin' Blends, I punched a 2" circle of the stamped image, and mounted that on a piece of Cherry Cobbler card punched with the Starburst punch.  Using Stampin' Dimensionals between these two layers allowed me to position some punched sprigs in the 'sandwich'.  A circle die-cut from the Stitched Shapes framelits formed a base for the punched pieces.

Listed below are the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card.  If you would like to buy these products for yourself, and you live in Australia, I would love for you to shop with me.  You can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

Please come back tomorrow, to see the other Christmas card design I came up with, using Feathers & Frost.
