Teal Bird Card

As I've given this card to Abi, my upline, for her birthday, it's safe to show it now! It was her 30th, but I chose not to put that on her card, I remember what I felt like when I hit 30 (that was a long time ago!)

The flowers were made using the new Small Heart Punch from the Mini Catalogue. You'll need to punch out 8 hearts from some Designer Series Paper for each flower & fold each one in half, 4 with one side showing & 4 with the other (hope you get my drift).

I placed a Mini Glue dot where I wanted each flower to be, I then stuck the first 4 hearts onto the glue dot(only the point will adhere). Then add another glue dot to the centre & place the remaining hearts ontop. I finished the flowers off with a flat backed pearl, or you could use a brad or small button.

Supplies:

• Stamps - Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel, Whimsical Words SAB

• DSP - Sweet Pea

Greenhouse Garden

I promised these pictures to the ladies from my workshop. They are all adaptations of Abi's fab design.

I used this stamp set as Stampin' Up are donating £1 to helping the people of Haiti for every Greenhouse Garden stamp set sold until the end of February & I will match it. The flowers are 2-step stamping so you'll need a Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the best results, aren't they gorgeous?

We had a fun evening, each making 4 of these cards. I made the backing papers in advance, or else we'd have been all evening making just those. In some cases I've only used a strip or two of the backing paper, so a sheet of it goes a long way!

Supplies:

• Stamp sets - Greenhouse Garden, Curvy Verses, Happy Moments SAB, Whimsical Words SAB
• Inks - Just about all of them!
  
• Card - Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Whisper White, Very Vanilla
• Tools - Paper Cutter, Eyelet Border, Scallop Oval & Large Oval punches, Stamp-a-ma-jig
• Adhesives - Snail 2-Way Glue Pen & Dimensionals
• Accessories - Dazzling Diamonds & Fine Cosmo Stampin' Glitters

Happy Crafting!
