Stamp, Ink, Paper #91 - Up and Away Birthday

Hi Everyone,

Happy Tuesday and Happy Birthday Andrea.   Its time for this week's challenge at Stamp, Ink, Paper.  Please join us.

As it's Andrea's Birthday that seemed the perfect theme for this week's challenge.  Birthdays are all about at the moment.  We just celebrated my eldest daughter's 18th Birthday as well, and while this is not the card I made for her, there is a pic below of her Birthday cake which goes with our theme this week.



My card was made with the Up and Away Bundle which includes the Lift Me Up stamps and the Sale-a-bration designer paper.  Cardstock used is Pacific Point, Mint Macaron, Whisper White, Calypso Coral and Dapper Denim.  I didn't actually make this card with Andrea in mind either, but I am always in need of Birthday cards and this is one I taught to my ladies in my last card class.




I've also used some trees on my card from the Thoughtful Branches stamp set.  This fold is called a Double Z fold and is still able to be folded flat to pop in an envelope.  Here's some closeup pics.








This is the view looking down so you can see the dimention this fold creates.  Its perfect for making 3d scenes.





As promised, here is a picture of my daughter's Birthday cake from the weekend.  A White Chocolate Mud cake decorated with Salted Caramel, Chocolate and Edible glitter.  Yum.




Thanks so much for joining us at Stamp, Ink, Paper.  We look forward to seeing what you create for the Birthday Bash.  Have a great 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. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

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
