Lots of Cards in a Box! Using Guy Greetings and Painted Petals by Stampin' Up!

Hello!

So, have you had a chance to look through the new catty?? Do you have any favourites yet?? I have so many and have already placed my first "proper" order and am eagerly awaiting delivery, stalking any brown vans that happen past the house!! I'll be sure to share my haul with you when it comes. On that note did you want me to do a little video when I receive my parcel?? Let me know 'cause I'd be happy to share :-)

OK, so I'm going to share with you my card class from last week and we went with a Card in a Box theme and I made three versions of these larger cards.

 First of all I have a Guy Greetings version, happily this set is in the new catty :-) 

This one I coloured in in an old sepia style...

 This version uses Painted Petals which is now retired, I do love this set.

And another Guy Greetings version, for this one I wanted to emulate the old fashioned photographs where they added colour to the pictures afterwards..

So, I gave my ladies at class a choice of what to make and here are their lovely cards! We used a selection of paper stacks and stamps. Didn't they do a great job? I love them all!!

 I you would like to join us at a card class please do get in touch or go HERE for dates and times.

I would love to see you here :-)

Oh, and don't forget to check out the WEEKLY DEALS too!

Stampin' Up's Hardwood, Painted Petals and From My Heart stamps with more Heat Embossing!!

Hi there,

 I was playing with the Blushing Bride embossing powder (making THIS CARD) and wanted to see what results I would get when I teamed it with the Hardwood Background stamp and Painted Petals stamps. I love how when you heat emboss the stamping behind doesn't show through so gives a totally different look to the just stamped version, take a look...

 I stamped the Hardwood background first in Crumb Cake; then added the leaves, finishing by heat embossing the flowers and then the sentiment.

 Blushing Bride embossed flowers with stamped Pistachio leaves

This gorgeous sentiment is from the From The Heart stamp set, I heat embossed it using white powder and went over it with a sponge dauber and crumb cake ink to highlight.

 I was happy with this little card, I like how stamping onto white card makes it fresh and spring like too :-)

Well, I hope you have enjoyed today's card/post too?

Thanks as ever for looking today,

Hardwood Background with Painted Petals by Stampin' Up!

Hi there,

If you have been visiting here for a while then you will know I have a bit of a love for stamping the Hardwood background stamp then over stamping it with other, fun stamps! Examples include THIS, THIS and of course THIS card.

So, I have had this idea bouncing around for  a while now and I finally got around to making it this week. I teamed Hardwood with gorgeous Painted Petals stamp set using a Crumb Cake, Wild Wasabi and Strawberry Slush colour combo to make this set with a card and matching Berry Basket...

Lets start with the card

 I added Wasabi and Slush twine to the top corner with a staple then tied it in a pretty bow

 This sentiment is from Butterfly Basics, stamped in Early Espresso

and I finished it with a few sequins from my stash

*for some reason this photo is uploading with a neon finish, arrggh!*

The Berry Basket was stamped to match before assembly

 I also added a Wasbi twine bow over the staples with a glue dot 

You can see THIS POST for a video on how to tie these bows

 and together again to finish :-)

Well, that' all from me for today. I hope you are enjoying the school holidays (if that applies to you!). I'm off out in a bit with the youngest only today as the other two are doing their own thing, he's still got a cough though, so we shan't be doing a lot.

Thanks for stopping by today,
