Stampin' Up! Thanks for Caring and Beautiful Wings Embossolit make Get Well Cards easy!

I have been sitting in my craft room today, avoiding doing work for university, I succeeded in doing any study, and used a set that I haven't used as much as I wanted to when it first came out.

There is a couple of things on this card that will be retiring on the 31st of July, the first is the sentiment which is from Thanks for Caring and the script background which is from my favourite stamp set from the Autumn/Winter Mini catalogue, French Foliage. This card started off as a plain Whisper White card base, I have then used some Designer Series Paper from Elegant Soiree (these papers will leave us on the 31st of August.) I have used some Perfect Plum card and the Eyelet Border Punch which I have tied some Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon around. The sentiment is coloured using my Stampin' Write Markers in Perfect Plum, Pretty in Pink and Baja Breeze. The Decorative Label Punch has been used on some Perfect plum card which has been stamped with the script stamp from French Foliage. I have cut out some butterflies using my Bigshot and the Beautiful Wings embossolit in Pretty in Pink and sprayed them with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Shimmer Paint in White, to give them a little glitter. I think the sentiment works really well for a card for someone who is feeling a little under the weather.

I am entering this into three challenges, the first is the Stamping 411 Sketch which I actually struggled a little bit with this week, the next challenge is the SUO Challenge blogs Get Well Theme and finally, my colour inspiration came from Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger.

Anywho... Thanks for dropping in!

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Strength & Hope creates beautiful Get Well Soon Cards

I have had a quiet-ish day at home today, which included some gardening (very weird for me), and some card making, I considered making cookies, but that seemed a little too domesticated, so I made another card....

This uses one of new favourite stamp sets from the Stampin' Up! Autumn/Winter mini catalogue out now! This stamp set is called Strength & Hope ($35.95 Wood, $28.95 Clear) and what I think is most awesome is, that $2 from the sale off each of these stamp sets is donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. With this card, I have used Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink. I have used inspiration from the Less is More challenge blog, which this week is to make a card with the elements being off-centre. I will probably end up making at least one more card for the challenge, so head on over, and check out the other entrants submissions!

Until next time, 

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! French Foliage and I make Masculine Cards

Hi Again Guys!
It feels like such a long time since I have update my blog (it's only been 3 days....hmmmm) Anyway, I wanted to share with you a card that I made today with my good friends Sue and Kim who came over to play today. It seems that one of the few times I craft is when these guys are around.... it's not true, not really, I do craft alone.... hehe... anyway, Sue brought along a few of the new stamp sets from the Autumn/Winter mini catalogue. One of the sets she brought along was French Foliage (page 20, $39.95 for wood mount, $31.95 for clear mount). Here is the card I created:

This card was created using Early Espresso, More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Whisper White. I was really nervous about making this card, as I wasn't sure I liked the set, but now I've used it, I will definitely have it in my order tomorrow!

Hopefully the girls will upload their versions on this card soon. Check over at Sue's and Kim's blogs.... 

Until next time, Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Sew Suite and I make Thank You Cards

Second Post for today! In my last post, I told you that the new Autumn/Winter Stampin' Up! Mini catalogue has just been released.... So, in this post I thought I'd show you something cute I made with one of my favourite stamp sets from the new mini!

This clean and simple little card is made with Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait and Pacific Point. I have actually gone through my button stash and sewn three little buttons on the 'button card' that is available in this set (which I love love love....) I have stamped the tape measure on the Melon Mambo, added a strip of Pacific Point, and some Peach Parfait ribbon. 

I am entering this into the Less is More Sketch challenge, which was one I actually made two cards for, but forgot to take a photo of the second one... *sigh*.... 

If you love the look of this card, why not get your hands on the limited release Sew Suite stamp set from Stampin' Up!, Just shoot me an email to jessidee86@gmail.com or give me a call on 0405 173 237

Thanks, and Happy Stamping!
