I have started on Christmas cards but felt I had no inspiration, so when this happens I log into splitcoaststampers and search for ideas. I found some great cards there so then I got stampin'!
The first card I made was using the Welcome Christmas set, which I LOVE!! I used cherry cobbler as my base then ran some whisper white through the big shot with the vintage wallpaper. I stamped the wreath in lucky limeade and the word joy in cherry cobbler. I used my blender pen to colour the berries in cherry cobbler too. This was then mounted onto lucky limeade and adhered with tombow glue.
Join mme next time for another Welcome Christmas card. xx

I have been having fun with the new button buddies stamp set. It's a cute little set that can make quick and easy cards in no time and all you need to do is ink the image up, stamp and add a cute button!!
I inked the image in pool party and added 3 flower buttons and inked the greeting from teeny tiny wishes in choc chip. The last one is the large flower image.
I inked the flower first in island indigo, then in calypso coral and finally in wysteria wonder. I added a subtles button and the greeting from teeny tiny wishes inked in choc chip. There you have it!!
I used the little pig in pink pirouette and a subtles button and stamped the greeting from teeny tiny wishes in choc chip. The next one were the flowers in a vase.

Today I am sharing a special 50th birthday card I have totally CASED from the cover of the new catalogue. It's a lady a works's special 50th birthday this week and we are doing a surprise party/meal for her on Friday evening!! She is so lovely and she really deserves to be spoilt so I spent quite a long time making this card!
I changed it to make it my own by using the top note and the greenhouse garden set and used the new in colours too. So here we go...

Isn't it just devine!! I love it, but like I said it took me forever to get right! I used choc chip as my card base and cut a strip of certainly celery dsp, scrunched it up and sanded it to add some interest. I then used pool party for top note and stamped a flower in calypso coral and the other in wysteria wonder and used choc chip ink for the detailed part of the flower. I always use my stamp-a-ma-jig for this part so that I get it just right!! I added the stem of the flower using lucky limeade ink. I then repeated the two flower heads on some scrap pool party card stock, cut them out amd lay them aside. I stamped the elizabeth stamp (gorgeous stamp!!) to the bottom right of the top note, and then ran this through the polka dots embossing folder and big shot then distressed the edges.
Once that was done, I layered the top note onto some calypso coral card stock and cut around it then distressed the edges again. Now it was ready to be mounted onto the choc chip card base and the spare flowers to be added with a dimentional and I turned the edges to add to the effect.
I then cut a small piece of twill ribbon and frayed the ends and adhered using tombow glue. I used some chip board numbers from my personal collection, covered them in 2 way glue then sprinkled dazzling diamonds onto them. To finish I stamped the greeting (personal collection again) in calypso coral onto wysteria wonder and punched out with the extra large oval punch and distressed the edges again and adhered with dimentionals. The finishing touch was a generous amount of shimmer spray!!
Happy Birthday Lorraine!! xxx

It was was the birthday of my Stampin' Up! Mummy last week, and I felt terrible as I did not get a card to her in time so I made an extra special effort and made this card using my fave set at the moment...
I used the Forever Young set and stamped the tree image in choc chip onto very vanilla and sponged the edges then mounted that onto pool party after placing some pear pizazz seam binding behind the image and leaving loose for the time being. I ran some early espresso through the big shot with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder. I adhered the image to the card and tied a bow but before tightening the bow I place some early espresso ribbon through the gap to add interest (I saw this on splitcoaststampers but can't remember what on!) I then stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes in choc chip and punched this out using the decorative label punch-there are so many uses for this punch I just love it! I placed this sitting under the bow and added a little subtles button with a glue dot and sponged the edges again.
Here is a close up of the beautiful card. To finish I used my white gel pen to the branches of the tree to make it look like blossom. I truely love this stamp set and will be using it FOREVER!!!
Happy Birthday Elaine, I hope you had a lovely day! xxxx
