Tuxedo / James Bond Card using the Dr Who Tutorial with Stampin' Up! Products

Hello there,
Today's card is an idea I was inspired to make about as I typed up the tutorial last week for the Dr Who card I made for my friends sons birthday. 
I thought the Dr Who Card would look great as a Tux and so I set to work and made this card.
It was a lot quicker to make this time round with all the measurements from the tutorial on hand ;-)
We chatted about it at class and thought it would make a lovely Graduation card or perhaps a Best Man Wedding card even and it's just perfect for those James Bond fans too!! Any other thoughts or ideas to use this Tuxedo card please do leave me a comment... ;-)
The SU! Gift Bow Die was used for the bow-tie
 a side view which is probably easier to see than the front version as it's black!
The buttons on the shirt are XL Rhinestones (retired) but you could try using a 3/4" circle punch and glimmer paper for a similar look.
 Here it is shown closed (that's a little magnet at the bottom you can see) 
 and a view from the top finishes today's post ;-)
Well, I hope you have enjoyed today's card and if you have a bash at making one yourself please remember to share it with me!

Four Feathers and Watercolour Thank-you by Stampin' Up!

hello there,
A super quick post from me tonight as I've had a really busy day with classes and jobs at home then I'm off to work tonight ;-)
To go with the theme of quick that's what this card was to make, quick! But doesn't it look effective? I'm loving the Four Feathers stamp set right now so much so that I seem to use it on everything! 
I simply stamped the feathers and the Thank-you onto note cards in Crisp Cantaloupe and Blackberry Bliss and added a Cantaloupe twine bow to the join...
 I stapled the twine to the card (still on the roll) and tied a bow around the staple, trimmed and voilà! Bow adhered securely to the card -)
 and the three cards I made together to finish today.
OK, I'm off for now.
Back soon with more cards as I have been very busy creating this week!

Sympathy card using Flowering Flourishes by Stampin' Up!

Hello,
Today's card is one of those sad but necessary cards that show you care.
One of my lovely ladies who came to card class and became a good friend passed suddenly recently and so I made this card to send her family. 
I stuck with a simple Blackberry Bliss with White card using Flowering Flourishes for this.
 I added sequins as she did love a bit of bling
 and a Blackberry Bliss ribbon bow down the side,
 with a little touch inside to finish.
That's all from me for today.
Stampin' Hugs,
