60th easle

I'm having a bit of an issue with blogger currently so if no scheduled posts appear after today I'm still trying to fix the problem but will have more time soon so keep checking back :(.

 

Today I have a card created in an 'easle' style for a 60th birthday...

 



The base is Certainly Celery from the 'Subtles' collection and I've teamed this with So Saffron and Pink Pirouette.  The stamp set is one of the lovely hostess sets - Summer Afternoon, which I've coloured with a blender pen using Stampin' Write markers.

 

I've used the Labels Collection Framelits dies to cut out the image panel, So Saffron and then Pink Pirouette pieces and layered these up and then fixed to the easle folded base.

 

The So Saffron strip (embossed with Argyle embossing folder) on the base to prop up the card has been raised up with Dimensionals and then I have added a length of the lovely stictched grosgrain ribbon in Pretty in Pink under a Decorative Label punch that has been stamped with the numbers from the Memorable Moments stamp set.

 

Remember if you would like to order any products from the Stampin' Up! catalogues just contact me at jadedcrafter@gmail.com

Thank you flower

Believe it or not this is quite a quick card to make... if you have a Big Shot machine :)!

 



The base is Pink Pirouette and the Top Note has been cut out of Regal Rose and then a piece of DSP from the Festival of Prints paper pack (yes this pack is great for non Christmas cards too!).  The Fun Flowers die has been used to create the layers of the flower in Regal Rose and Pink Pirouette with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder run through the Regal Rose pieces.

 

You can just make out the leaves in the photo, punched with the Bird Builder punch from Crumbcake and then sponge daubered with Chocolate Chip ink.

 

The lovely sentiment is from one of the Hostess sets - Wacky Wishes...

 

I will be placing an order at lunchtime today, so if you live close to me (GU16) and would like to save on postage costs please let me have your order by 12 noon.  To contact me just email jadedcrafter@gmail.com

 

It's another busy weekend for me, with the last week of work coming up as well, so more to follow on Monday.  Have a good one!

Have you seen the Simply Sent App?

Do you have an iphone, ipad or ipod touch?  I so then have you seen this App?

 

The App allows you to create an e-card—from a template or completely on your own—and send it via e-mail or post it on Facebook. And it’s free!

 

You don't really need a project idea from me for today with this to play with ;).  Go to the itunes store and download it now - here.

Happy birthday Susan

It was my Aunt's birthday today... but hopefully she got to open the card on time :).

 

Here it is - featuring the lovely Happy Hour stamp set in the main catalogue:

 



 

I've used a Pool Party based and matted Tempting Turquoise behind a piece of Shimmery White card stock which has been embossed with the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder.

 

I've then stamped the chosen cocktail glass in Tempting Turqoise and Early Espresso onto Whisper White card and punched these out with the Perfect Postage punch before mounting on squares of Tempting Turquoise.

 

The sentiment is from the same set and I've created a co-ordinating tag using a parcel tag (non Stampin' Up!) by adding a strip of Tempting Turquoise punched with the Scallop Trim border punch and 3 more images.

 

I do hope Susan had a fabulous birthday x

Christmas tags

At my Christmas accessories class last week we made a selection of tags, a bag and a box, all to co-ordinate with the Christmas cards made in the previous weeks.  Here are the tags:
