Happy 90th Birthday

My friend over at Stamps and Memories, Wendy, issued a plea for any birthday cards for her Mum who was 90 last week.

She loves receiving handmade cards but only gets a few so I thought I'd add one to the stash.

I've used the Detailed Floral thinlits with the Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder I used in my last card.

I've also used the Lots of Labels framelits, Large Number framelits and Number of Years stamp.

Welcome Jenson

Before I start to share too many new Christmas goodies I have a baby card today:

It's another outing for Baby Bear, this time in Soft Sky and Night of Navy.

I've used the booties from Something for Baby stamped over the background of this A5 card and added some little punched hearts from the Confetti Hearts Border punch.

The letters are stamped with Letters for You and cut out with the matching framelits - rather impressive aren't they?

Pop of Pink Birthday

A final Thoughtful Branches offering for the week:

I've tried something different using the Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper as a background.

The colours are Black and Melon Mambo to ring the changes a little.

The banner is from Birthday Banners and the sentiment from Number of Years - cut out with a framelit of course.

Lots of Labels framelits used for the mounting and finished with gems.

Birthday flowers

This card features some stamps from the Number of Years set - but without the numbers today!

I've also used the Hardwood stamp - sentiment is from Number of Years also.

In addition I have used:

Ink:
Pear Pizzazz
Sweet Sugarplum
Calypso Coral
Pool Party
Tip Top Taupe

Card:
Pool Party
Tip Top Taupe
Whisper White

Sweet Sugarplum ruched ribbon

Catch Up

Apologies Mr Blogger wouldn't let me update this in the week so I'll add a couple of pics today.

The first one being the card to go with the bag that I added in my last post:

This card was made using the papers to co-ordinate with the bag and the ever useful Number of Years stamp and framelits set.

For something new today I've had a teeny play with a new set coming called Swirly Bird with matching Swirly Scribbles thinlits.

This is a cute little gift bag for a 'little something':

I've used Tip Top Taupe, Old Olive and Flirty Flamingo for colours and another sneaky new set called Thoughtful Banners (which of course comes with a matching punch!).

Happy Birthday Alison

Happy 'special' Birthday to Alison for today.

I've made another Crafty Hallett bag and used the colour way that Julie Kettlewell featured a few weeks ago.

I've used the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper from the seasonal catalogue and the ever-popular Number of Years stamp set.

Happy 60th

Another special Birthday today.

I've used the Number of Years bundle again but this time teamed it with Botanical Blooms as well.

Colours used are Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Old Olive.

The pattern on the background is in the Botanical Blooms stamp set and just takes some of the blank away from the white.

I've also used:
Botanical Builder Framelit dies
Number of Years stamp set
Large Numbers Framelit dies
Word Window punch
Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Happy 100th Birthday

It's not every day you get to make a 100th Birthday card but I have as today it was my Grandma's birthday.

I loved using the new Number of Years set to create this card - I shall be using it lots!

The background paper is from the Birthday Bouquet DSP set and contains the colours Watermelon Wonder, Blushing Bride and Pool Party which then are used throughout the card.

I also had to take the opportunity to take a picture of my card next to 'the' birthday card, a very special one indeed.

I have also used Old Olive ink for the leaves, the Large Numbers Framelits, Pool Party Glitter Ribbon and Watermelon Wonder 1" Stitched Satin Ribbon.

Finished with a few pearls and I have 3D'd a few of the flowers.
