Stampin' Up! Party this Way and Brights Designer Series Papers make a fun Birthday card

Hi guys! I have made two cards yesterday, but didn't have a chance to share them with you.... here is the first one...

For me, this card isn't a favourite, and I don't actually know why.... I love the bright colours, with the splash of black, but I just feel it didn't come together as it should have in my head.... On to the details though...

I used a Vanilla piece of card, and layered on some designer series papers from the Brights stack in Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Rich Razzleberry. I stamped the candles from Party this Way and cut them out using my circle punch. I stamped the sentiment and popped in underneath the circle. A touch of ribbon, and some bakers twine finishes off this card.

I am entering this into the Lollipop Ladies challenge, which has it's inspiration as Everlasting Gobstoppers :)

I took my inspiration from the colours mostly, and the circles in the polka dot paper and candles.... 

I also took inspiration from Got Sketch?

Thanks for dropping by, I'll be back in a bit to share another card, one I'm happier with :)

Stampin' Up! Party This Way makes fun birthday cards!

It's been a few days since I have blogged, I have wanted to craft but haven't had the motivation to get in to the craft room, I've also got a few cards that I need to blog sitting on my desk... I think it's time to clean out the craft room again, and the perfect excuse is we need the room for a visitor this week, so today and tomorrow, I'll be cleaning up.... But last night, I created...

My Aunt has asked me to create some 18th birthday cards, but I've been finding it quite difficult... This one layer card is Whisper White, stamped with my trusty Party This Way stamp set... the candles are Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Tempting Turquoise, all with Daffodil Delight flames, coloured with my Stampin' Write Markers. I have hand drawn a border using my Basic Gray marker, and then stamped the Happy Birthday (also from Party This Way) in Basic Gray. I actually really struggled with this card, I kept thinking more needed doing, or that my border wasn't right, but now looking at well rested, I'm glad I left it alone...

I am entering this into the Less is More challenge blog which is for a one layer card that is "Framed". I was a bit slow entering this weeks challenge, usually I'm one of the first 100 to enter.... 

Anyway, I'll be back later to share a wedding card I made.....

Until then,

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Party This Way, makes fun birthday cards

Hi Again!
I have a card to show you all utilising one of the fun stamp sets in my collection! Party This Way. This was a stamp set I bought on a whim.... mainly for the fun candle image.... But, I don't use it all that often... So, I vowed to dust it off and have a play....

I have used the scallop square from the Sale-a-bration stamp set Punch Bunch, but because I don't actually own the punch, I sat with my scissors and cut around those scallops by hand! 

I used the colours from the Colour Q Challenge, which I was daunted by to start with, but once I started, I loved them together!

Tune in later to find another card, which is very similar... but uses a different stamp set!

Happy Stamping!

Mojo Monday and 2S4Y

Hi all, I have two sketch cards to show you.
The first one is the last ever sketch from 2 sketches 4 you

This was a card that came together quite quickly for me. I used the in colour - Concord Crush and the birdy is the part of the Hostess set Silhouette Sentiments, I also went back to my trusty Jumbo stamp wheel, with So Swirly.

The second card I have to show you is for an upcoming class, which I'm holding to create kids cards... I used the Mojo Monday sketch for this one.  

Kids cards are a little out of my depth, because I don't make many, so this was a bit of a challenge for me. I love how it turned out. Only one stamp set was used for this one - Party This Way. 

Go, participate in these two great challenges :-)
