Big Birthday Cake Card

Todays card is made using a free stamp and paper set that I got with a magazine a few months ago.  You can get an almost ideal set from Stampin Up.  The cake is made up of individual layers, every bit is an individual section made up to make the lovely huge cake you see here.  I stamped this with Stazon and then coloured it in with Promarkers.  The papers were also free and I think match really well with the whole theme.

Vintage Craftwork Cards

These two cards were made from a lovely Craftwork Cards set called Correspondence Collection.  I really love these papers and they came with some lovely sentiments and ribbons.

The first card was made simply with one piece of the beautiful paper and some gorgeous Stampin Up retired ribbon and a sentiment added.  I then glittered with Stickles the flower to give it a bit of sparkle.

The second card was made with again one sheet of paper.  I then added a sentiment which I layered onto a bit of leftover paper.  A lovely little bow using some pink ribbon that came with the set.  Lovely.

Be Mine Valentine Card

Sorry I have not blogged, time just got away from me.

Today's card is a really simple Valentines card.  The card is made from Real Red and Black.  The stamp set used was an old one that was a hostess set! but I can't remember its name sorry.

Note to self - must try harder with future cards!!!

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.
