Bird House Card

I made this card today.  I saw a version of it on the SU website. 

*All page numbers correspond to the new 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalogue

It used the Bird Builder punch (pg 213). I don't have that punch but I do have the Blossom Petal Builder (pg 213) so I added it to the card.  I embossed the petals of the flower using the Big Shot (pg 215) and used the mini poko dot Texturz Plates (219).  I also added the stamp set Element of Style (pg 134) for the inside of the card and the bird on the front comes from Nature Walk (pg 100).  I used various inks including Real Red, Marina Mist, and Early Espresso (pg 178-180).  Card stock was Real Red and Soft Suede and Crumb Cake (pg 179-180). I also added an Antique Brad  to the centre of the flower (pg 198).  The red on the bird house I ran over it with a Standard Wheel (pg 235) but that one is no longer in the book.  You could use any one you wanted just to add a little texture.

And that's my card.  I hope you like it and make your own version of it.  If you email me your card I'll post it on my blog. tammym28@hotmail.com

The Open Sea

Tonight at the Workshop I demonstrated how to make this Father's Day card.  I used The Open Sea stamp set from Stampin Up!  I also used Crumb Cake card stock and the Designer Series Paper Nautical Expedition.  I just love this paper.  I stamped all over the paper with the Open Sea stamp set and brushed the edges of the paper.  I don't like white edges on my paper.  I also used the stamp set Notably Ornate and stamped it in almost navy ink.  I also added a vintage brad in the bottom right hand corner.   

Hope you like it.

Pretty Postage Stamp Set

Here's the Pretty Postage stamp set from Stampin Up!  I played around with colour today and I think I like the red one the best.  What do you think?

  I used Cherry Cobbler ink on Whisper White card stock and designer printed paper.  I also ran the white card stock through the Big Shot to create the poke-a-dots.  I used the Designer Series Regal Collection paper (strips) mounted on red Card Stock.  I also had to add a little bling so I went with the rhinestones.

I used Crumb Cake card stock and purple Designer Paper Regal Collection and backed it with Perfect Plum card stock.  I used Perfect Plum ink to stamp the image (Pretty Postage).  I also used the corresponding postage stamp punch to punch the image out.  And a few pearls for a little bling.

P.S -Don't forget the party tomorrow night June 7th at 790 Parker Mtn Road at 6pm.
