Fun cocktail birthday card

Here's a fun and bright card created using the Happy Hour stamp set from Stampin' Up!. You can use any colour for the cocktail and even tailor the drink to the recipients taste with the different glasses available in this stamp set.

If you look closely, you may spot that I have handwritten the sentiment for a change, as I couldn't find the stamp set I wanted quick enough to make this card as it needed sending the same day!

Stampin' Up! colours: Lucky Limeade, Night of Navy, Tempting Turquoise

New home card in an array of colours

When I returned to the UK in January, I needed to catch up with a number of people who had recently moved house. What better way to wish them well than with a new home card. I couldn't resist making a few of these once I came up with a quick hand-drawn template for the house which I cut out of scraps of DSP.

Here's a close up:

Just believe in colour co-ordinated cards

With my intention to try and post more regularly, I have another card to share with you this week. I've created 2 different colour versions, using the Stampin' Up! stamp set Just Believe, which I have inked with markers to pick out the flowers in co-ordinating colours. 

The background behind the sentiment (from the Create a Cupcake stamp set) has been inked in the same colour ink as the base card, so it's a very subtle colouring.

Stampin' Up! colours: Pool Party, Pink Pirouette

Travel themed birthday card

Happy birthday to my very good friend Vicky!

I've used the Top Note die for the main piece on this card, along with the Open Sea stamp set from Stampin' Up! In fact most of my stash currently is still Stampin' Up! as I do really love their products.

Stampin' Up! colours: Wisteria Wonder, Old Olive

Baby elephants

I have a couple of baby cards to share with you today, which use the Top Note die and Patterned Occasions (retired) and Occassions Alphabet stamp sets from Stampin' Up!

The 'elephant' stamp is ideal for a baby card. I've inked the stamp with Stampin' Write marker pens, in order to pick out the flower in a different colour.

Stampin' Up! colours used: Pink Pirouette, Bashful Blue, So Saffron
