Blossom birthday card

This pretty card was given to me by Sheryl Wanhill. I just love how she did the background. It looks simple but she has stamped and sponged it and then put it through the embossing folder. It creates a lot of texture and interest without overpowering the card. Here are the products she used to make it.

Petal pink and very vanilla card, memento black and petal pink ink, sponge, Very Versailles and Free as a Bird stamp sets, Big shot with Stitched Nested Label dies and Parisian Flourish embossing folder, ribbon, pearls, wink of stella glitter pen, blends pens in old olive, petal pink and daffodil delight and also dimensionals.

You can purchase all or any of these products direct from the Stampin’ Up! online store in the link above or alternatively purchase through me. Just leave a message and I will order them for you.

Pop up cube surprise card

I made this card for my son’s birthday. He is a master at solving the rubik’s cube and I knew he would appreciate this card. It folds flat, for posting.

I used the Broadway birthday stamp set.

If you scroll through all the photos on this website you will find a daisy pop up cube that I taught at a stamp camp a couple of years back. That cube was in a box and it had panels on the side for your message or sentiment.

The cube is a little tricky to make the first time you do it but there is an amazing YouTube tutorial by Gemma Clarke which will show you step by step what to do.

Simple Scrapbooking

SMILE page featuring stitched triangles, stamped triangles and embossed triangles. This layout uses the Daisy Lane stamp set and matching daisy punches. It also uses the layering stitched rectangle dies.

I will be teaching this layout in my next scrapbooking class once we are able to meet up again. You can choose your own colour combo. I will show you how to use the dies to make different sized rectangles and how to use the same dies to get stitching lines on the triangles.

Message me if you want to put your name down for a class. Date to be confirmed.
