Male Birthday Card Order

 Another special order - this time for

 a male birthday card.

Used one of my favourite "male" 

colour combos of Real Red, Night of Navy 

and Smoky Slate.

Also used my favourite stamp set of

Gorgeous Grunge and two retired

stamp sets - Simply Stars and the 

sentiment from Henry Says.

I really can't do without my Gorgeous Grunge

set.  It makes creating awesome backgrounds

just so easy.

Watercolour Wings Birthday Card

This is a card I created as a special

order for one of my customers who

wanted a nice card with a bit of bling.

I was so pleased with how this one turned out.

I created her an Easel Card using the 

Scallop Circle Framelit (the largest of 

the Circle Framelits).

It is a bit hard to tell from the photos

but I first stamped the outside of the

butterfly wings in Cherry Cobbler and

then stamped the inside with Versamark

and embossed with Gold Embossing

Powder.

I also Gold Embossed some Petite Petal

flowers and around the outside of the

Cherry Cobbler card base circle.

The sentiment is from the very cute Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set.

These are the products I used to create this card:

Birthday Card for Dad

It was my Dad's birthday this week

and this is the card that I made

for him.

The tools and the background are not 

from Stampin'Up! but I saw this awesome

card when I was at the Craft Expo last month

and just had to have the dies to create a

similar card.  I love the way it has

turned out.

To create the tools I firstly die cut with

Silver Cardstock (SU Silver Shimmer 
which has now been retired) and then 
die cut again with Basic Black Cardstock. 
I then snipped the tops off the black
 set of tools and glued them over the 
top of the silver sets of

tools.  Voila - an awesome and realistic

looking tool set.

The peg board I die cut from cork.

The Stampin'Up! supplies I used to create this

card were:

July Stamp Club

Our July Stamp Club projects were this beautiful

butterfly card and a cute little gift box created

with the Gift Bag Punch Board.

For our first project we used the Bohemian 

Washi Tape and the Butterflies Thinlets Dies to create our card. 

 I can't believe how simple it was

to create and how stunning it is.

These are the supplies I used
on this project:

Our second project was a little gift box

created with the Gift Bag Punch Board.

This box was created to the smallest

size noted on the punch board.

Initial card stock being cut at 10" x 4".

This gives us a small box with the

completed dimensions of approx 2 1/2"

long, 2" wide and 1 1/2" high.

I also taught the Stamp Club members

how to create these super simple brown

paper flowers using a scallop punch

and 8 to 10 layers of the brown packing

paper we receive an abundance of in every

Stampin'Up! order we receive.

This a list of the supplies used in

this project:

Holiday Fun

I am sorry I have been missing from this

page for the last few weeks.

It has been a busy time in our household

with not only our school holidays but

we also hosted an Indonesian student and

3 Chinese students during this time.

Hence, very little time for me to paper craft.

However, on one of the evenings the

girls requested I teach them some cards.

They all enjoyed themselves and we had

a lot of fun and they have each taken

2 cards home with them.

BOHEMIAN LAYOUT CLASS

I have created this layout for a class

coming up soon.  Love the colours

in the Bohemian DSP.

Managed to incorporate lots of 

stamping also on this page as well

as using the gorgeous Watercolour

Wings.

Special 50th Birthday Card

Today I would like to share with you a

 Special Birthday Card I created for

my brother's 50th Birthday.

He is not really a very sentimental person 

nor was he impressed with turning 50.

This is the reason I chose to create a card for

him with the Henry Says and Stars Stamp Sets

(both of which are retired unfortunately).

Thought I would go for the more comical

type of card.

The colours I have used are Island Indigo,

Watermelon Wonder and small amounts of

Mint Macaron.

Inside the card I added in some stars

and a large 50 (die cut) which I mounted

on some clear strips and had them pop

up when you opened the card.
