Butterflies, Flowers, Birds and Bees

Good evening! I really should be making my way to bed right now after such a hectic weekend and several late nights, but I think I might be able to sleep better after posting this about my last class which actually took place over a week ago!

So finally here are the pictures of the cards we made at my Spring Card Class....


The butterfly card features the Swallowtail stamp, and the background on the flower card is Flowering Flourish

The bees were from the Spring Sampler stamp set and also features the honeycomb embossing folders.  The bird cards use For the Birds and coloured in with blender pens.


I showed the ladies how to make these rolled paper flowers - a quilling tool makes it really easy!


We did some heat embossing using pool party embossing powder which looks fab on the Summer Starfruit card.  Then we painted over the butterfly with the champagne shimmer paint for a lovely shimmery effect


Everyone loved doing a bit of colouring in!  So therapeutic!!
 

Lastly the bees were stamped with black stazon ink - this ink dries permanent so we could colour the yellow stripes and add dazzling diamonds to the wings without the colour running!

I wish I had taken a picture of my home-baking too - I made rocky road and lemon drizzle cake for  this class!

Baby, Baby!

This week my friend asked to make four new baby cards, in the same design as the one I made for her and her husband when their bundle of joy arrived 2 months ago!  She doesn't know whether she'll need cards for girls or boys, so I made 4 of each so she would have them to hand when she got the announcements!



The cute baby vest stamp is from the retired Slice of Life stamp set, but there's a similar one in the Bundle of Love set in the current catalogue.


Stamps: Slice of Life, Pennant Parade
Card stock: Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Inks: Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, Basic Grey
Papers: Subtles paper stack
Equipment: Scallop Border punch, Oval punches, Corner Rounder punch
Others: Whisper White satin ribbon

4 Today!

My niece Emily is 4 years old today!  Here is the card I made for her...


I stamped the ice cream using stamps from Create a Cupcake and Pennant Parade sets, and punched out the ice cream and cone with the Cupcake Builder and Petite Pennants punches.  I used my Big Shot to die-cut the number 4.  The papers are the Cheerful Treat designer series papers (an exclusive hostess product).  Colours are melon mambo, wisteria wonder and whisper white.

Happy Birthday Emily!
