Anniversary card

I love the You are Loved stamp set. It's not just for valentines cards but is really great for weddings, anniversaries or any card for that someone special.  It's a well used set!

For this card I heat embossed the heart design with gold embossing powder on Pool Party card stock. It creates a lovely raised metallic effect. The Crumb Cake background is stamped with the En Francais background stamp with Crumb Cake ink.

The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set and an antique brad and linen thread finish off the card.

Products used:

Stamps: You are Loved, Teeny Tiny Wishes, En Francais

Card stock: Pool Party, Crumb Cake

Inks: Crumb Cake, Versamark

Other Gold embossing powder, heat gun, antique brad, linen thread, Word Window punch

Baptism card

Here's a quick post to show you a baptism card my friend asked me to make.  It was for her friends seven year old son, Elliot, and she wanted something bright and fun rather than something religious.

I used the Big Shot and letters dies to cut out the name and printed out the sentiment.  The papers are some retired ones (Play Date) and the leaves are punched out using the bird builder punch.  The owl stamp is from Fox and Friends!

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!

New baby card commission

I was asked by a friend to make her a card for a new baby girl.  She wanted something un-fussy, any colours except neutrals, and to include the baby's name. This is what I made for her (I hope it's not too 'fussy'!)

The cute little giraffe is from the Fox and Friends stamp set.  I used the Big Top Birthday papers for a colourful background and I printed out the baby's name, date and sentiment and punched these out with the jewellery tag and word window punches.

Congratulations to the new parents!!!
