A different take on Love you Much

Hello,

I have scheduled today's post as hopefully they will be here today to start the roof tiles, goody goody!

I have made this card using the set love you Much which is a valentines/lovey sort of a set but I am hopeful it works as a birthday card too??

I used the lovely Melon Mambo with Basic Black for this one,

Happy Birthday is from a retired sab set teamed with a filigree brad and punched out with the word window, DSP is the limited Night and Day, only available 'till end of Sept,

I paper pieced the two birds after inking them up (avoiding the heart which is normally between them), as you can see I paper pieced them but you may be wondering which Designer Paper I used?? None! I used the Dot Dot Dot stamp with Melon Ink and paper pieced using this, I love the effect,

Gorgeous Melon Mambo spotty ribbon finishes it off nicely I think,

inside piccie ;-) sentiment from A Bit of Birthday Cheer,

Well, that's all for today, I hope you have a fab day whatever you are up to.

If you want to order any Stampin' Up! products please do email me for more info, I also have a fab offer on 'till the end of July, please see top post for more info. This is an offer just from me, not SU!

Medallion Wedding

Hello,

I hope you are all enjoying not having to do the school run! I am certainly enjoying the rest from it!

So, I was asked to make a wedding card for a friend who's sister is getting married soon, now I just love the Medallion (p 60) anyway, but it just sooo perfect for wedding cards.

I used Mellow Moss as a base colour on some pearlescent card from my stash, as this was a similar colour to the bridesmaid dresses. Now unfortunately I didn't have the Mellow Moss stamp pad or even the spot, just the pen and re-inker so I was a bit worried how I would be able to huff all over such a large stamp if I used the pen and then I had an idea! (it's OK I was sitting down, lol) I put a couple of drops of the re-inker (p72 & 73) into a lid from some SU! buttons and added a couple of drops of white shimmer paint (mini p 21), I then used a sponge dauber to apply the paint directly to the stamp, hey presto! the colour you need without the pad, I was trilled with the results it gave me too,

Here is the inside with a slightly more vintage look, ie: not perfect, on purpose I hasten to add! sentiment from a sab set, no longer available,

And here is the arty angle, ribbon is Kraft taffeta (p 87) topped with a yummy Filigree brad (p 85) in the centre of which is a gem brad (p 86)

Well, that's all from me today, don't forget to let me know what you think :-) and if you need a mini catalogue email me sarah-janerae@sky.com and I will pop one in the post to you asap.

I have another busy day ahead, getting the house ready for the builders :-)

Enjoy your day too,
