Happy Birthday Paul

Pin It

Today is Paul's (DH) birthday.

Here is the card I made for him.

 I used Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #201.

I haven't played along for a long time, go and check out their site and play along it's so fun.

 I used See Ya Later SAB Stamp Set, which has four very cute stamps.

You can earn this for free when you place an order with for $110.

I stamped it in Island Indigo Ink onto Very Vanilla Card Stock, then cut out with the Apothecary Accents framelits.

The Banner was embossed with the Argyle Embossing Folder, I place on the card with the reverse side up.

The Sahara Sand base card I stamped it with the Woodgrain stamp with Sahara Sand Ink.

  For the inside I stamped Happy Birthday from Bring on the Cake Stamp Set and using a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker I coloured the cake from See Ya Later.

To finish it I added Large Pearl Basic Jewels.

Card in a Box

Pin It

I have made two more cards in a box.

This one is very similar to Savannah's birthday card, which I posted last night.

 The DSP is Quartrefancy Specialty, I have used different patterns from this DSP. 

I like it with the Strawberry Slush paper.

I changed the flower on the headband, the Happy birthday is from Label Love Stamp Set and added Rhinestones instead of Candy Dots.

Here's another one that I have made.

The Colour Combo on this one is Island Indigo, Soft Suede, Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Very Vanilla.

The DSP is Venetian Romance.

 I stamped a border on the Very Vanilla from You're Lovely (SAB) Stamp Set.

The flowers are from Flower Shop Stamp Set and the Just for You label is from Label Love Stamp Set.

Both of these sets have matching punches.

 The leaves are cut using Little Leaves Sizzlits.

To finish this card I added Pearls and Candy Dots.

I have a Confession to Make

Pin It

I bought the Dress Up Framelits and matching Stamp Set in the pre-order last year, and I haven't used it until today.

 I had the frame which used to have a picture of coffee pot which was very faded and we haven't had it on the wall since we lived in Dunedin 7 years ago.

It was crying out for a make over.

This is the end result, which will go on our lounge wall.

I sanded the frame a bit then rubbed Real Red Ink into the frame.

 

This is the bottom dress.

I tiered the dress with Modern Medley DSP and Silver Glimmer Paper.

The roses on the waist are retired, then I added a Basic Pearl necklace.

This is the top dress.

I cut this in Modern Medley DSP and Very Vanilla Card Stock.

Then I place the Very Vanilla dress into the heart punch to cut the bodice.

I finished it with a Very Vanilla Candy Dot and Basic Rhinestones for a necklace.

This the middle dress.

I did this one quite different, I cut the dress form out of the Real Red Card Stock and raised it above the dress with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I finished this dress of with Simply Pressed Clay Rose which I coloured Real Red.

I am determent to use supplies which I have used.

Do you have supplies you have bought and never used?

I'm sure we all have somethings, here's a challenge for you use something that has been inked etc with every project you make.

Tomorrow is an exciting day.

Sale-A-Bration and a new Occisions Catalogue start tomorrow.

18 years ago today our first baby arrived into this world.

Today Darian turned 18, he as grown into a wonderful and handsome young man.

 We celebrated yesterday with a BBQ with a few of his friends and family.

Savannah DD made his birthday cake, a Tardis Iceream cake.

Here's the card I made him today, yes today he did get before 5.51pm when he turned 18.

 Did you guess that is a Tardis?

I used Midnight Muse, Basic Black and Whisper White Card Stock.
The punches are 1' square and 1/2 circle cut in half.
I used a Midnight Muse marker and ruled up the windows and sponged the edges.

Just a very basic inner.

Thanks for popping by.
