The Wilderness Awaits Day 5 Doggy Congratulations

Hello and welcome back....

Today's card features the gorgeous Dog from the stamp set The Wilderness Awaits.... with a little bit of Wetlands thrown in....lol

I am so loving this set, in fact both this set and the Wetlands set are a firm favourite.. so I am a Happy Bunny knowing that both of these set are in the New Stampin'Up! catalogue due out 1st June.....  :)

The base card for this one is Crumb Cake with a layer of Early Espresso and then Whisper White. I used the 2 1/2" circle punch to create a mask to which I brayered Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry, I then added a 1" circle to mask out the sun and brayered Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze over. I removed the 1" circle and stamped the grasses from the Wetlands set in Basic Black. Then I removed the larger mask.

I stamped the dog in Basic Black overlapping the coloured area and then stamped him again on a separate piece of Whisper White and cut him out. I then stuck over the stamped image on the card. The sentiment is from the stamp set Curly Cute (retired), but you could use any sentiment with this card.

I layered a piece of Burlap Ribbon across the bottom of the card and then layered the Whisper White card which I had shaped using the scallop border punch on top.

Honeycomb Happiness Congratulations

Hello and welcome back....

I have such a fun card to share with you today featuring the Sale-A-Bration FREE stamp set Honeycomb Happiness.

What a cute bunch this lots are.... 
My base card is Thick Whisper White, mmm I know I love this stuff, with a layer of Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper, love this paper stack too....

I used the Circles Collection framelits to create my little frame and cut a large circle out of Whisper White card, a medium circle out of Crushed Curry card and a smaller circle out of Whisper White for stamping on.( Numbers 5,6,& 7, where smallest is number 1)
To stamp the birds I created masks of the birds so that I could overlap them. I stamped the bird onto sticky notes and cut them out, so each time I stamped a bird I covered with a mask and stamped the next and so on.

I used the Congratulations from the Free stamp set Sky Is The Limit and added the From All Of Us from the Stamp Set Crazy About You, stamped in Basic Black.

Pretty cute, it would be great as a birthday card too.

Tin Of Cards

Hello and welcome back.....

The project I’m sharing today takes center stage on the cover of our Annual Catalogue this year. It’s the Tin of Cards Project Kit and it might be one of my favourite products in the catalogue.

In about an hour and a half I had all of the cards put together plus the dividers completed as well. The kit comes with materials for four each of four card designs for a total of 16 cards with envelopes. The entire project is so cute. I LOVE the cards and the tin is adorable too.

Here is a close up of the tin. It’s a really strong and stylish container for your cards. It is great to have as a back up for cards you may need in a rush, a forgotten birthday, an unexpected event, a quick thank you card....

The kit comes with nine dividers for you to stamp on and the co-ordinating Tin of Cards Stamp Set includes stamps for each of the tabs. If you wanted to add more dividers you can make them using the File Tabs Thinlits Dies.

 

The cards are so pretty and so easy to put together.

The first card is a beautiful Bermuda Bay, the word bubble on these is actually a wooden embellishment, so it gives texture to the cards.

 

I love this next card. It’s so bright and colourful.

 

Here’s the gold glitz card. Remember when you stamp the small words on the background of the card, make sure to stamp one card with ‘hello,’ one with ‘congrats,’ one with ‘happy,’ and one with ‘thanks.’ Don’t stamp all four with the same word, because when you go to add the large circular greeting you only get one ‘congrats,’ one ‘hello,’ one ‘happy birthday,’ and one ‘thank you.’  

 

I saved my personal favourite for last – the butterfly card. Isn’t this one a beauty? When assembling make sure you only place adhesive under the center of the butterflies so that you can pop up their wings!

So there you go. The Tin of Cards kit is a great gift for yourself or for someone else and is great value at £24.50, see below for details on how to order.

Just click on any of the products to go to my on-line store..

Zoo Babies Congrats

Hello and welcome back...

Today's card uses the same stamp sets as yesterday, but with a slight twist...

I have used Bermuda Bay Ink and Card Stock for this card. I stamped the Zebra onto Whisper White and cut it out with the 2" circle punch and then matted it onto a 2 3/8" Bermuda Bay Scallop Circle.

I used my Bermuda Bay Stampin'Write Marker to do the faux stitching around the edge of the circle, and I used my Paper Piercing Tool and Mat to put holes in each scallop. I used dimentionals to layer them together and onto the card.

I stamped the cluster of butterflies from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Set in Bermuda Bay onto the card. Then using dimentionals matted it onto a Thick Whisper White Card Blank.

And added a matching Envelope....

Another cute Baby Card...

Zoo Babies Congratulations

Hello and welcome back,

Today's card is made with the Zoo Babies and Perpetual Birthday Calendar Stamp Sets.... The Perpetual Birthday Calendar Set is Photopolymer and is really easy to place your image where you want it, it also has some great images which can be used for so much more than just the calendar.

I used the Thick Whisper White for the card base and stamped on normal Whisper White card stock.

The sentiment and the Elephant are from the Zoo Babies Stamp Set and they are stamped in Melon Mambo Ink.

I used the 2" circle punch to cut out the Elephant and the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch to cut out the Melon Mambo Scallop Circle. 

I used the Star cluster from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Stamp Set to create the background in Melon Mambo and added the Congratulations.

I love putting White on White it gives the card such a clean crisp look...
