Chalkboard Floral using Birthday Blooms by Stampin' Up! to make a Birthday Card

Hello! 

Today's post comes to you from the car, but don't worry, I'm not driving! I had already uploaded these pictures earlier and I'm just filling the chatter in on my phone, how handy is that? I'll add the supplies later as I can't do that from here though :-)

Ok, so I have another Birthday Blooms card today, I wanted to use it in a slightly different way and decided that the chalkboard technique was the way to go. Please, take a look...

I die cut this labels framelit and stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, then I stamped the flowers and spots and heat embossed them separately. I found this to be the easiest way as I could see where I had already stamped! 

Finish with a sponge and some white craft ink to "chalk" it up!

Love the sparkle of this glittery ribbon and it ties lovely bows!

I decorated inside this card with the same flowers and spots from the front.

Notice I used the returning Softly Falling folder to give a little texture under the sentiment.

And sprinkle on a few rhinestones to finish this card :-)

Thanks for looking today,

Stampin' Hugs,

From My Heart by Stampin' up! Chalkboard Teachers Card

Hello!

So, I'm working on the Shabby Chic flower tutorial today, I have tried to film it (several times) but have just had to delete some data on my SD card and will go and try again! I'm thinking news anchor or camera-man (woman) is not going to be on my list of potential jobs ;-)

So anyway, today's card is a thank-you card we made at class last week. I didn't design it to be but I think it would make a great card for teachers, including male teachers as there isn't too much 'fluff' on it ;-)

I started with a Wild Wasabi base and added a layer of white before sticking with Wasabi again and embossing both layers with the Chevron folder....

 this very pretty sentiment from 'From My Heart' was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder and then die cut using the Labels Collection framelits before going over with a sponge and white craft ink to make the chalk board effect

 and finally we added a piece of Pistachio Pudding Twine, I love this thick twine and have used it tons already ;-)

OK, I'm off to try filming this video again so that the hubs can edit it tonight while I'm at work :-)

Must remember to tell him that later..... ha ha ha ha!

Remember to pop over to MY FACEBOOK page for extras and sneak peeks when I'm not on here plus see the magazines I've designed for there too :-) 

Thanks for looking today
