Pineapple Card for Morgan

Hi Everyone,

This card was made by request by my daughter for one of her friends.  These 14 year old girls either seem to like Cactus or Pineapples.  I don't know what the attraction is with spiky things but apparently it is the latest craze.  Typo (the store) was full of all sorts of these types of things when we went gift shopping for the Birthday girl.


I didn't have a pineapple stamp so I went online in search of a Digi stamp I could use which I printed out onto card and I coloured it with my alcohol pens, then fussy cut it. I am 100% confident that the Birthday girl will get a kick out of this card (ie like it) because her Party Invitation was printed with a Pineapple on it too.  



Here's her party invitation, lol.




The cardstock I've used is Basic Black and Whisper white with some background paper added from the In Colour paper stack.  The Whisper White layer has been embossed with the Decorative dots embossing folder.  Here's the full pic of the card.




The greeting comes from the vintage stamp set Well Scripted and is punched out with the Extra large oval punch then raised up on dimentionals as was my fussy cut pineapple.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a lovely day.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
