Oh, Hello!

Hi Everyone, or should I say oh, hello!!!

I know I have said it many times before and I am going to say it again, use your catalogue for inspiration! That's what it is for! You don't have to copy it exactly. 

This is one I cased from our catalogue using different stamps. I used it as a sketch.

You could change the tree to an: ice cream cone, heart, star, flower, etc!

Find a layout that you like and make it your own!

Check out those Dimensionals!!

I did stamp off once for the clouds. I wanted really light clouds. Ink up your stamp, stamp off on a scrap piece of paper, then stamp on your card = stamping off.

A 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" Little Cutie!

Hi Everyone! Today's card is just so cute! Inspiration came from the new catalogue set to release the beginning of June 2016.

Unfortunately, both of these stamp sets will be retiring! So with that said, let's get to enjoying them while we still have them around for a little bit longer.

Too cute or what!!??

I cut out one of the pears and of course added my Dimensionals to it!

Dandelions...

Hi Everyone! Ever see a card and KNOW that you just have to re-create it. However, when you go and try, it doesn't work out! Ya, you know what I mean! 

For me that is the dandelion card made from the Balloon Celebration stamp set. 

I have tried and tried! I was about to give up (ok, not really!), when I decided to give it one more (maybe 3 more) tries. 

I am finally happy with this one!

Look, it really worked this time! It actually looks like a dandelion!

You can't tell from the photos, but I used our Shimmery White Cardstock. If I had Wink Of Stella, I would have added that as well. I really wanted a magical feel to this card.

Paper:

Smokey Slate

Happy Father's Day

Hi Everyone! Not sure if you remember the other day I mentioned that I needed to make 3 Father's Day cards, but there was a sort of catch; 2 of them need to be in French and 1 in English. So far I have made one in French and this one in English. Only 1 more to go!

My dad loves white birches, so I thought the Woodland Embossing Folder would be perfect for his card.

See those Dimensionals!!?? You really need them when you are putting a sentiment over Bakers Twine. Plus, it gives your card that extra element.

Throwback Thursday!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to another edition of Throwback Thursday.

For Throwback Thursday cards/projects I try to make sure that almost everything on the card is tried, however one stamp set on this card is not retired, Flower Shop (so happy about that!). 

To make the curl of the petals, I just pushed the flower into my foam pick holder with the rounded end of the pick (make sense?).

It certainly finished off the flower.

A nice and bright Happy Birthday card!

Balloon Celebration

Hi Everyone! It's a Balloon Celebration kind of day! 

This card can be made in so many different colour combinations. 

You could keep it simple with one colour like I did, or a beautiful rainbow of colours would look great too. 

This card would even look great horizontal with many more balloons lining the bottom.

Do you see the possibilities!!???

Of course I used Dimensionals under the balloons and under the banner!

For the strings of the balloons, all I did was wrap it around the tail of the balloon and taped it to the back.

Happy Papa's Day!

Hi Everyone! I decided to get on the bandwagon and start making my Father's Day cards. Mine are a little different as some need to be in french and some in english. 

So far I have made only one in french. 

Good thing I have more time to make them! lol

I stamped the sentiment first (the sentiment is not from Stampin' Up!) on the Whisper White, then I embossed it. I didn't want the sentiment to have the brick mortar lines running through it. 

I brayered the Brick Wall Embossing Folder with Smokey Slate, then ran it through the Big Shot. That's what gives it the real Brick Wall look.

Then I stamped using Gorgeous Grunge to make the graffiti. 

Don't you just love the graffiti look?

Cool eh? and only 2 accessories for this card!

Supplies:

Paper:

Whisper White

Sheltering Tree Thank You

Hi Everyone! Today's card is about a Thank you card for my dad's neighbour, who cut's his grass all summer. We are very thankful for them.

Don't you just love the long grass!!??

Fitting don't you think?

Had to add the little birdies, they are from the stamp set Pedal Pusher (retired). I couldn't decide what colour I wanted to make them: blue, red, or yellow. Or I could have made one of each! lol

Of course I used dimensionals under the birds!
