Party cards

Last night Elsie kindly hosted a Stampin' Up party which 12 lovely ladies attended.

I did a couple of demos and this was my make and take card.

I've used the Gorgeous Grunge set - hence me having little play recently.  This card uses all 5 stamps in the set.

Colours used were Smoky Slate and Island Indigo to give the card a male 'look'.
Silver would also be a great substitute for the Smoky Slate.

This card was CASEd from a workshop I did a while ago.

Banner Framelits used as decoration, the largest has been embossed with the Chevron embossing folder, the middle one uses paper from the 12x12 Designer Series Paper Stack.

Sentiment from the hostess set Express Yourself.

I also made one in Strawberry Slush and Crisp Cantaloupe to show how the different colours make a very different card, even with the same stamps.

I have used the Bitty Banner Happy Birthday stamp and matching framelit for the sentiment on this one to also show something different.

My original card did use the silver glimmer paper but I realised a bit late SU currently don't have a star punch so I added nothing to the male version but added 3 little sparkly punched circles to the girl version!

Simply Trees

A quick post today with a share using the ever-popular stamp set 'Lovely as a Tree'

I have simply stamped this image in Soft Suede and layered on a piece of matching card.

The base card is Naturals White which has a soft fleck to it and worked brilliantly for this sample.

Sentiment from 'Express Yourself' hostess set and finished with some linen thread.

Pretty Banners

Sorry this picture has come up a little dark but this is a more feminine card using the Banner Blast set currently in the Sale-a-bration offer.

Colours used for this card are Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding & Summer Starfruit.

The banners are punched out using the matching punch (of course) and an itty bitty punch is used for the flower.

The heart stamp is also part of the banner set.

Sentiment from a Hostess set called Express Yourself.

The twine, also in Crisp Cantaloupe, is also in a SAB set!
