Chloe Floral Heart Good Luck Card

today's card was made using a lovely Chloe large floral heart.  I have used this stamp so many times for so many occasions.

This card was made as a Good Luck card for a colleague leaving to a new job a while ago.

The stamp was stamped and heat embossed in
Wow Powders Silver and then really delicately coloured in with pale pink pro marker.

This was then layered up on hot pink card and a lovely loose pink and white ribbon tied together into a bow.

The Good Luck sentiment is from Stampin Up, as was the punch to make the pretty shape

Reason to Smile Birthday Card

This card is made using the limited edition Reason to Smile set.  The card was made using Daffodil Delight and Black ink with the squares stamped out and then mounted on black cards to k.

The sentiment is from the retired Sincere Salutations set.

Butterfly Happy Birthday Card

This card was made from the usual Stampin Up products.  The butterflies were stamped on Whisper White card stock with Midnight Muse and Raspberry Ripple ink.  Then on a separate piece of card stamped again and punched out with the matching butterfly punches.

The sentiment is from the Memorable Moments set and was stamped onto card again and punched out with the Label punch.  A second piece of card stock in Midnight Muse was then punched out and cut in half.  Each half was then stuck at each end of the label to give the shadow effect.

This sentiment was then layered up onto a piece of Raspberry Ripple ribbon.

The whole thing was then layered onto a piece of Raspberry Ripple and Midnight Muse to give it the final lift.

Love this simple but elegant design.  Must make it in the ice creamy In Colors that we currently have.

Pansy Flower Happy 40th Birthday

Today's card I made for a friends big birthday earlier this year.

The colour combo is Crumb Cake and Night of Navy, two of my favourites.

I used a combination of the various pansies in the Pansy flower set and the fern from a different set - sorry I can't remember which set this is from.

The words are from the Curly Cute set with the 40th from the Memorable Moments set layered up on a flag style banner.

Really love the simple but effective layout used here.

Pansy Punch Flower Congratulations Card

This card was so simple to make but I really enjoyed making it and more importantly giving it away!

The base card is Pretty in Pink and Raspberry Ripple accent.  The flowers were stamped and some were fussy cut and raised on 3d foam.  I then pulled some of the colour out with a blender pen and dotted some Pearl Makers to make stamens.

The corners were tied with some beautiful Raspberry Ripple ribbon.

The sentiment is one of the retired but most used by me set, called Curly Cute.

It is hard to appreciate it but this card is actually an 8x8 inch card, so pretty big.

Happy Congratulations Thank You Card

This is one of a batch of thank you cards I made for my niece to give to people after her recent 21st birthday.

The card was a very simple one layer card stamped with the lanterns from the Happy Congratulations card.  The middles are stamped separately with Island Indigo, Raspberry Ripple and Summer Starfruit.

I really like this stamp set as it is a bit different.

From This Day Forward Wedding Card

Today's card was made for a friends wedding this weekend.

I took the attached idea and went my own way with it.......

The stamp and sentiment are from the From This Day Forward stamp set and stamped in Night of Navy.  The little bits are then coloured in with Daffodil Delight yellow marker.  I then used some paper from the Poetry Prints stack and a couple of pearls at the top.

I have to admit I used a very similar style for my parents Sapphire wedding anniversary recently.  Very simple and easy yet classy design.
