MOTHER'S DAY CARDS (EXTRA SPECIAL)

Just popping in to share a few of the Extra Special Mother's Day cards I have created using one of my very favourite stamp sets Apothecary Art.

Fancy Folds Card Class

Sharing with you today a couple of cards we created in last month's Fancy Folds Class.

Our first card was created using the new Framelits Dies available in the Autumn-Winter Catalogue.

We also used the gorgeous Apothecary Art stamp set which is so beautiful and has been getting well used in my household.

I used Rose Red to stamp the main image and then used the blender pen to drag the colour into the flowers as well as adding a little Pear Pizzazz to the leaves.

A very pretty and feminine card.

Supplies used for Framelit Card:
Stamp Set - Apothecary Art, Cardstock - Confetti White & Rose Red, Inks - Rose Red and Pear Pizzazz
Dies - Labels Framelits, Embossing Folder - Petals a Plenty, Miscellaneous - Blender Pens, Sponges, Gemstones


Our next card is a Z fold card.  A pretty clean and simple card.   To add a bit of extra interest I used the colour spritzer tool to spritz the white background.  To create the flower I used the Blossom punch (again available in the new Autumn-Winter Catalogue)  and snipped in with scissors.  Just another way to use this very versatile punch to give it a different look.

Supplies use for Z Card:
Stamp Set - Happiest Birthday Wishes (Hostess Set), Cardstock - Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Pacific Point
DSP - Twitterpated and Red Glimmer Paper, Ink - Riding Hood Red, Punch - Blossom and 3/4" Circle, Spritzer Tool

 And here they are showing how they look when open.

If you missed out on this class and would like to know how to create your own special cards, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Stampers 6 Club

 This month in Stamp Club we were able to use some of the beautiful new products from the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.

Our first card was inspired by a card we had created in our last team meeting.  The bottom card is the one we created in our team meeting and the top one is the one created at stamp club.

Can you spot the differences?

As I did not have the Apothecary Art stamp set I decided to show the girls that you can still create a beautiful card by substituting what stamp sets you do have.  In this case we used the Creative Elements set to get the very cute flourish in the background.

We also created a mat for the framelit which is the black border around the small framelit piece.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Whisper White, Basic Black, Riding Hood Read, DSP - Twitterpated, Labels Collection Framelits, Inkpads - Black and Riding Hood Red, Stamp Sets - Creative Elements, On Your Birthday, Itty Bits Shapes Punch Rhinestones

Our second card was created using the inking and tapping technique which was highlighted in our latest Stampin'Up! Demonstrator Magazine.  Thought we would give it a try and this is how the card turned out.  Everyone was very impressed with how easy it was to create such a stunning background.

Again we used lots of supplies from the new catalogue - isn't the pleated ribbon just gorgeous.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Inkpads - Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze, Stamp Set - Parlor Prints Background Stamp and Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Punches - Blossom, Boho Blossoms, Word Window and Modern Label, Labels Collection Framelits, Blushing Bride pleated satin ribbon, Embossing Folders - Stripes and Square Lattice, Rhinestones, Twitterpated Designer Buttons
