Watercolor Wonders ...part two

Welcome back everyone, nice to see you again :)

Lets have a look at the other cards we made in class...

I think this is my favourite of the day, I love this Designer Paper !!! It's cheerful and fun but still not childish and yet it would work for a child's card, if any of that makes sense !

We stamped the watercolour brush mark stamp from the set and it come in large and small too so we could complimentary small brush marks on the sentiment die cut too.

The tags were created using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch I think this is a must have , I've used it sooo many times and never tire of it :) The cardstock here is Smoky Slate such a cool colour.

Our final card of the class was this cheerful Thank You card, the background paper is from the Watercolor Wonders DSP again and this time we added some sumptuous gold Fancy Foil Designer vellum and gold thread ...

The poppy stamp from the same set looks understated in Smokey Slate ink and we layered it up on Dimensional foam pads and added some bling with the uber twinkly SU Rhinestones.

I had so much fun sharing these cards with the Ladies at the class and it's great to show just how versatile one set of stamps and one paper range can be. Everything I've used for these designs is still available until the end of June so order now if you'd like to recreate them for yourself.

Thank you so much for reading, I shall be back soon with Tales of Telford.

Get them while you can !

Hi again everyone , lots happening in Stampin' Up! land at the moment....of course you all know we have a Annual Catalogue and that there's always LOTS of lovely new goodies, you may even of heard the exciting news that Project Life is coming to SU !!! Anyway I digress, to make room for all the new lovelies we have to say goodbye to some old lovelies *sadface*

It's not all doom and gloom though because you can still stock up on your favourites like the retiring In Colors 2012 - 2014 in Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit and Primrose Petals , I've used Raspberry Ripple and Gumball Green here on this little card which I CASED from Pinterest...

I also added some Birthday Basics DSP (we get all new DSP's in the new catalogue *hint*) and the uber cute Zoo Babies stamp set.

You're Lovely !

That's the gorgeous stamp set that I made this card with , 'You're Lovely' its a Sale A Bration freebie and includes this pretty stamp that you can colour in to match your card perfectly...

I used Pool Party , Sahara Sand and Whisper White as my colour palette which matches this gorgeous paper from the Sweet Sorbet pack.

The Deco Label Framelits look fab layered up and a little bit of texture with the Decorative Dots embossing folder finishes it off nicely.

This was a perfect thank you to a dear friend for all her support and love , I'd be lost without her :)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Zoo Babies Birthday

Hello again everyone, today I wanted a share a Birthday card I made for baby Ava , she was one yesterday and I thought the Zoo Babies stamp set would be just the job for her card.

I chose a combo of Strawberry Slush, Pool Party and Basic Gray and I couldn't resist a little sparkle of Silver Glimmer Paper !

Justin treated me to a Silhouette Portrait cutting machine for my Birthday and it cuts Stampin' Up! cardstock and the Glimmer paper beautifully , here I've used it to cut Ava's name.

Just a quick post today but I hope you liked the card, I 'm off to send a Newsletter to my lovely customers if you'd like it let me know and I'll send it to you too.

Bye for now ...
