There’s hardly any stamping in this card. I just used the eyelet border punch for the top of the cake stand and used a bit of scrap Pretty in Pink taking a bite on either side with the window punch to make the pedestal part. The blackberry Fruitella sweets and their wrappers appear to be the same shade as Concord […]

Congratulations!
My DH after much persuasion from his boss was asked to put in an application to become a Fellow of the Institute of Civil Engineers. He had to list several attributes and work experience throughout his career according to the Institute’s guidelines, the application goes before a judging panel and they deem whether or not the candidate […]
Thanks for Caring
Life happens and inevitably you need to make sympathy cards. I made this for a fellow team mate who had a bereavement recently. This one “Thanks for Caring” is from the Mini catalog on page 25. Even though it is a stamp set specifically designed for these sad occasions, Stampin’ Up! images for this set […]
Seeing Stars #4, Party this Way
This is the last card in this series of Masculine Cards which has more or less taken up the whole of July’s posts! I had the most fun with this one as it was just a question of masking and stamping in different colours as I went along. It looks much better IRL, no layers and […]
Clearly for You, Something to Celebrate, Little Additions, Sanded
One of my customers celebrates her Ruby Anniversary today and being the valued customer that she is, I made this to mark her special occasion. Cherry Cobbler was the closest I could use to Ruby Red, so I used this for my card base. I cut a piece of 3 13/16″ x 5 1/4″ Whisper White cardstock […]
Seeing Stars #3, Perfect Punches
Another Elegant Soiree DSP design using Crumb Cake and Basic Gray. The stars were stamped on Basic Gray and cut out, and randomly adhered to card as seen here. The sentiment was stamped in Basic Gray on Whisper White from the Perfect Punches stamp set (page 66 MIB&C). All the images from the Perfect Punch stamp […]
Seeing Stars #2, Always Elegant
Still using Elegant Soiree DSP – the colours from the DSP dictated the colour palette for this card in Soft Suede for the card base and mats in Bashful Blue. I stamped on Whisper White using the coordinating stamp set, Always Elegant which is available both in Wood and Clear mount and can be found […]
Seeing Stars #1, Afterthoughts
I have finally broken out this set which has been sitting in my cupboard, unmounted and uninked for I don’t know how long. This a wood mounted stamp set with an assortment of 8 stars, different sizes, called Seeing Stars on page 68 of the Main Idea Book & Catalogue. What better way to showcase […]
