Kinda Eclectric card

DD bought me  Stampin Up Kinda Electric for my birthday. Love using it, especially the leaves that go with all the other flower sets I have.
This card uses SU En Francais, Kinda Eclectric and Blended Bloom stamps. Sentiment from Lots of Thanks set. Coloured the flower with the yellow blendabilities. Just noticed my chiffon ribbon is fraying, will seal that with a flame.

Wedding card

With several weddings to attend this year I started off with this card with lots of bling.

Christmas tags

Here is a range of Christmas tags I made, many are cased from tags I saw on Pinterest. I tired different techniques. I am going to add some Christmas words to some of them.

Tree made from 3 folded circles.

Tree is made from a half circle

Rosette from pleated card

Raindeer from owl punch and antlers from bird punch. The mini label punch is perfect for Santas belt buckle

Mothers Day Card

Mothers day is always a great time to bring out the floral stamps. This one from stampin up called Stippled Blossoms is my favourite at the moment. Sentiment on the front is printed out from MDS,
Inside it is a pop up card using the teacup from the Tea Shoppe set. Small butterflies are from Papillion potpourri.
Ink is rose red stamped off twice to give the pale shade then full strength for the darker shades.

 Close up of the card. Next time I will pop the front roses up on dimensionals to give some depth

Side of card showing the simple pop up mechanism. I scored the outside card leaving a 1/16th gap in the middle to make folding over the inside card easier.

Cute Baby cards

 This is a really cute idea for a baby card. A bonnet that pivots open with the split pin holding the flower in the corner. Flower is a bit large but was what I had at hand.







These second baby cards using the SU onesie roller  stamp and each onesie cut out and mounted on foam.

Cards for men

I needed some thankyou cards for men, wanted to steer away from flowers, ribbon and frills so used the sizzix windmill die to create the first card and used my new favourite set Feeling Sentimental for the second card. This card is cased from a Nancy Hill creation seen on Pinterest. The penny farthing stamp has the honey comb embossing folder background and sponged edges in dark brown. Will use this style to make cards similar with the other two stamps in this set.

I just love this set Fabulous Florets from Stampin' Up. It is a very versatile set and makes wonderful floral cards. Flowers are stamped then cut out and raised up with dimensionals.

This stamp set Two by Two by Stampin' Up is perfect for baby boy cards. I used Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder and the white waves are from Sizzix Lovely Flourish's Set. The background is white card that has been sponged with Baja Breeze.

Inspired by a card I saw on Pinterist I strip sponged this card and overlayed stamped the tree from Stampin Ups Lovely as a tree set. It makes a nice simple clean lines for a sympathy card
