Welcome Baby Card

Hello Everyone

A little card I made for a neighbour who had just had a little girl. I do like making new baby cards - especially in pink! You can make them as pretty as you like.

I figured out this design for a pram using the decorative label punch, four circle punches, a scallop circle and lots of pearls!

 

I ran a piece of Whisper White cardstock through the Big Shot with the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder. I layered up the pram and finished with the That's The Ticket stamp set from the Spring/Summer catalogue, cut out with the matching Ticket Builder Punch.

 

 

Hope you like it!

Core'dinations Ideas for You

Hello Everyone

Today I am sharing a couple more ways of using the Core'dinations Cardstock with our embossing folders.

The first card below I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslits, the second I used the Scalloped Hearts Embosslit and on the last one the Elegant Boquet Embossing Folder. I think the third one is my favourite here.

My next Core'dinations project is a retirement card. Inspired by a Halloween card made by lovely demo friend Elaine, this is a garden shed made with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

I did the roof with the Scallop Border Punch in Basic Grey cardstock and daubed the edges with Early Espresso ink.

The door piece is layered on plain Espresso cardstock and the hinges are made with the Word Window punch and Mini Brads.

Hope you like it - and thank you Elaine for the inspiration. X

Everything Eleanor 2 of 3

Hello Everyone

This is the second of my Everything Eleanor offerings. The shimmer on this card is created using Frost White Shimmer Paint, daubed gently on to the cardstock after dry embossing with the Elegant Boquet folder.

Once again my Basic Pearls were in evidence - thank goodness you get so many in a pack. I just love the effect of this card.

Back soon with my favourite Everything Eleanor design....

Love is in the Air

Hello Everyone

I have had the opportunity to make some wedding and engagement cards recently. Catherine recently celebrated her Stampin' Up! themed wedding day - her colours were Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Sahara Sand - Catherine has beautiful long curly red hair and I think those would be the perfect wedding colours for her.

Also my lovely friend Laura got engaged on holiday and then my niece Sophie was engaged to Alex last month.

Here are the cards I designed...

This large double-fold card has vellum cardstock in the 'windows', showing monograms behind. I used the Broadsheet Alphabet for the initials and the flowers are stamped using Vintage Vogue, which makes a beautiful wedding card. The designer paper is from the Lap of Luxury set.

Now that is one of my more-is-more cards - my class ladies will be laughing reading this as I struggle with clean and simple designs.

But just to prove I CAN do simple, here is another design, this time done with a Big Shot embossing folder called Elegant Boquet.

I ran both the vellum cardstock and the card underneath through the Big Shot to get the embossed flower image. Inside I gently daubed the flowers to allow a little of the colour to show through.

The text is from Curly Cute - my favourite greeting set - also I have it in clear mount so it is always straight! LOL This is what is under the vellum.

I have been embossing and debossing envelopes too! There is no stopping me now I have my Big Shot!

Hope you like my wedding cards - back with more projects soon.
