Daisy Card and Pillow Box

Here are the other projects my Stampers 6 Group made once we had made our quick cards.

I got the colour combo of Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi and So Saffron from my trusty Colour Coach, not a combo I would normally go for but the Colour Coach works as usual.

We die cut 3 daisies at a time (the large and middle sized on the die) and sponged them with Perfect Plum ink, this gives them dimension and they look more realistic. A button was added to the centres to hide the hole in the middle. The rest was easy to put together.

Take care,

Lap of Luxury Workshop #2

As anyone who knows me will say, I just can't resist purple! So as I had a pack of the gorgeous Lap of Luxury DSP, I had to do another workshop!

I made the top card as my sample, but it evolved into the second card at the workshop. This often happens when we think of ways to improve on my first design. The little notebook was made out of 2 beer mats and some sheets of Very Vanilla CS which we then bound together with my Cinch binding tool.

I have my Stampin' Up! Mum to thank for this project as she gave me a whole stack of beer mats, which came in very handy for my school's Summer Fayre, so thanks Abi!! I made some kits up to decorate these little books & sold them for £2 each, I even sold the samples!!

We also made a gift bag to hold the book in, together I think it made a lovely set.

Thanks for looking,

Team Swap March 2011

This is the card front I made for Abi's team training swap back in March. I decided tobase the card around the Springtime Vintage DSP as the mini was coming out the next month. Just a strip of it was used, along with a scallop border in Rose red. The Scallop Circle was put throught the Square Lattice embossing folder, before cutting in half. I then finished the card by adding a greeting to a Four Frame panel.

Springtime Vintage #1

I made this card when I received my pre-order from the new mini catalogue. As a demonstrator I get to see the new catalogues a month before my customers, and I am able to pre-order anything from the mini. The only problem with that is that there were so many gorgeous new items I didn't know what to order first!!

Luckily I already had the Scallop Circle die (and a Big Shot), but I did order the must-have item, the Beautiful Wings Embosslit die. Embosslits dies cut and emboss, this one has 5 gorgeous butterflies, some of which are tiny and make a great accent to a greeting panel, as I have done here.

The other items I just had to have were the Four Frames stamp set, with the matching punch. I teamed it with the Springtime Vintage DSP (lovely patterns and colours).

It was a simple card, you could make several in different colourway in no time as the Big Shot will cut several layers of the Scallop Circle at a time, and a few turns of the handle with scraps of card will churn out loads of butterflies.
