Rich Razzleberry Stripey Ribbon

Hello there!

Today I am going to have a relaxing day, well, I say relaxing...I have 3 special cards to make, photograph my Baby Blossoms class and write up the tutorial, and tidy up as FIL is coming to stay on Friday! So, perhaps not so relaxing, maybe I should call it an "indoors" day ;-)

Anyway, I have a card today I made for Allie, my SU! sister :-) It was her birthday on Monday and I couldn't resist using the wide striped grosgrain that I received FREE with my order, on her card. You too can get a roll of this ribbon for free, as well as a box of clips and a gorgeous cosmetics bag, See THIS POST for more pics and details or EMAIL me with your order or questions :-)

Back to Allies card! I have used my sadly neglected Just Believe stamp set with a colour combo of Rich Razz, Crumb Cake and Regal Rose, I really must use this set more often as I love the end result!

I inked the stamp using my markers and the little flower at the bottom was stamped with versamark

and tied a "bunny ears" bow, I was thinking about doing a mini bow tying video (eeekkkk!) if anyone would be interested??

arty angle,

and inside I used the top note again finished a little more versamark

I hope Allie enjoyed her birthday and that she received plenty of handmade cards too :-)

Back tomorrow with more Razzleberry loveliness, don't forget this offer is only on 'till the end of August so if you "need" anything now is fab time to order ;-)

Thanks for stopping by today,

Hello there,

Last week I unfortunately had to make one of those card that nobody enjoys making, a sympathy card. 

I made it for a lady who comes to my card class who sadly lost her husband.

As I had not got a specific sympathy stamp set I decided to use the very versatile Just Believe set with the spotlight technique. Colours are Baja Breeze, Pretty in Pink and Early Espresso.

Sincere Salutations for the sentiment, inked to make it pop a bit more,

I added a subtles button to the satin ribbon across the bottom, tied on with linen thread,

and a stamped off image for the inside to finish

Not a lot of chat today, I think I went on enough yesterday ;-) lol!

Gift Card holder

Hello,

I have scheduled this post as I am going to be up and watching the Wedding. I am getting really excited actually, which I didn't think I would but here I am  ;-)

Anyway I have a gift card holder to show you today. Oooh, and it would be perfect for giving a wedding gift card in too! lol! I used the SU! exclusive Top Note Die and the super cute Owl Punch to make this,

Decorated using the subtles DSP Stack and the very pretty flower brads to hinge it at the top,

Swung open to show the (club) card, it might be better if you changed this for a gift card before giving it as a gift ;-) ha ha!

and of course the sentiment, this one is from Just Believe and punched with the Word Window and Modern Label punches,

Well that's it for today, I will be back tomorrow with a very different card for you, enjoy the Wedding if you are watching :-D

Thanks for dropping by,

January Class

Hi there,

As promised today I have the sneak peeks for this months class. We are making two cards and a desktop calender using the beautiful Just Believe stamp set with Sweet and Sour speciality papers, this paper is gorgeous as it is embossed on some of the patterns as you will see in the photos below,

So first of all the calender. Card base is Melon Mambo with Pumpkin Pie satin ribbon,

This is the first card we will be making and again the spotty paper is embossed,

and the third and final card for this months class using some lovely In Colour ribbon (in this share) and the spritzer tool,

and here they are all together,

I can still fit a couple of people in for Tuesday's 25th Jan class (see side bar for more details) so message me on sarah-janerae@sky.com asap to reserve your place for some crafty fun with a small and friendly group of ladies and come and have a play with some lovely SU! goodies.

Thanks for looking today and hope to see you here :-)
