Engagement Card

I got to try out my new stamp set from Stampin UP today.  It's called Wedding Sweet, and I just love it, its so elegant.  I think I will be getting a lot of use out of this one. 
This card was made for my brother and his new fiancee, I hope they like it.



Items used in this project:

Cardstock:          Stampin Up Whisper White, Basic Black.  A silver wedding cardstock from another supplier.
Ink:                     Stampin Up Versa Mark and Basic Black
Stamps:               Stampin Up Wedding Sweet
Accessories:        Stampin Up Black embossing powder, Large & Small Oval Punch, & Scalloped Oval Punch, Heat Gun, glue dots and dimensions.  Also used ribbon & heart bling from other suppliers.

Wedding Invitations

These are the Wedding Invitations I did for my Step-Son's wedding in November this year.  I had to do up 50 of these, and then a further 30 were sent out but a scaled down version that didn't include the Wishing well note or the Accommodation note.  Wow, what a job!  A big thank you to both Bryan and Maddie who helped out with the project when things got a bit desperate.

 The colours are a bit hard to see, but they were Opal and Purple (on shimmer paper).

The set also included a Place Card for each guest, that was designed to hang over the edge of a champagne glass the couple gave to each adult guest,  and a double sided Thank You note was tied around the stem of the glass.  The Place Cards were a winner,  as any guest who sat at a table with people they did not know, simply turned their names around to the back of the glass so they could be read by everyone else at the table.

The only items used for this Project from Stampin Up were the Big Shot to dry emboss and die cut all the large hear shapes, as well as the Stampin Up Full Heart - Extra Large punch used for the front of each invite (the ones with the couples names on them).  Also used were Stampin Up dimensions.  All other products and die/embossing folders were from other suppliers.

Christmas Cards for 2010

These are my xmas cards for 2010.  I am not one to make just one type of card and duplicate it for all my friends.  I like to make a card with a person in mind.

Sorry I cant get some of the cards to rotate, I think it was the program I downloaded the photo's from the camera with.  If you turn your head on the side it make them easier to view.  haha!

This was my first attempt at a scenic card.  Thought it came out pretty good for a first attempt. Didn't give this one away, thought I might hang on to it as a keeps sake.

Marina's Farewell

Every few months, a group of my girl friends and I get together for a few drinks and lots of laughs. One of those friends left town  a little while ago, so I made this card for her.  All the girls in the group got to write in it for her.  I hope you like it as much as my friend Marina did, she tellls me that she still has it and doesnt want to throw it out.

The card was made using:
Stamp Set:  Stampin Up Wonderful Favourites & Pocker Silhouettes
Card Stock:  Stampin Up Basic Black, Whisper White, and Apricot Appeal, Appricot Appeas DSP (Designer Series Paper)
Ink:  Stampin Up Basic Black, Apricot Appeal
Accessories:  Ribbon, Stampin Up Border Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch.

My very first Post

This is my very first post, please come back and check the site again in a couple of days time when I work out what I am actually doing. 
In the interim take a look at the Stampin Up site here and check out the latest catalogue or just click here to download the brand new 2010-2011 catalogue.  If you are interested in placing an order or have any questions just email me.

I made this card for a friends daughter who was turning 21.  I love the layered look on cards but also I like my cards to have a crisp and uncluttered feel about them. 

This card was made using Stampin Up Basic Black and the retired Apricot Appeal card stock.  All other accessories used including dry embossing folder, ribbon, rub-ons, and stick on half pearls are from other suppliers.
