Belated new home card

Wow, what a day... I've been busy catching up with people, getting my car ready for the winter and at the same time also had the first viewing of my house.  Tomorrow is much the same and then I must start packing some boxes.

Here is a quick card made using the Little Additions stamp set (it's a baby themed set) but I've used it for a new home card...

I had to come up with something very quickly this morning before dashing out to deliver it, so I've opted for a Marina Mist base and a background of Pool Party which has been run through the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.

The arm chairs and coffee table have been inked and stamped onto Whisper White and then carefully cut out (ok, so this wasn't a quick task after all!), and I've mounted the chairs using dimensionals to add some depth.  The sentiment is handwritten and punched out with the Word Window punch, and then I've sneaked in a non Stampin' Up! peel off which I stumbled across whilst clearing out my stash as the card just needed something else to liven it up a bit!

Don't forget I'm selling off some of my non Stampin' Up! craft stash for charity (see details here) this Sunday between 2 and 4pm at my home (GU16) so let me know if you fancy stopping by to pick up a few bargains.

 

Happy birthday Tori

Mondays are not a good day for a birthday... but fortunately my good friend Tori celebrated her birthday yesterday, with a BBQ and for once the weather was like it should be at this time of year!

As a cat lover and fairly new to card making, I made her this card in the 'Brights' collection colours of Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise...



The little cat is from the Every Little Bit stamp set and the sofa is from the Little Additions (baby themed) stamp set.  The sentiment is part of one of the Happiest Birthday Wishes stamp set available with Hostess pounds.



Baby cribs

Apologies that the photo's of these cards aren't too good...  hopefully you can still make out the clean and simple effect I went for using the Little Additions stamp set 'crib' image. 



After inking the crib in Crumbcake and stamping onto Whisper White I have then matted it with Bashful Blue/Pink Pirouette and layered up using dimensionals.  The sentiments were stamped with Marina Mist and Rose Red.

Paisley cat

I've been having a play with the Little Additions stamp set from the main catalogue, which is a baby themed set, but actually seems to suit a lot of other card ideas. 

This card features the sofa from the set and the little cat from the Every Little Bit stamp set which still ramains one of my favourites as it has so much variety for lots of occasions.



I've teamed a Melon Mambo card base with a piece of the Paisley Petals DSP and attached a length of ribbon around this before attaching to the card.

The little sofa has been inked in Marina Mist ink onto Whisper White card stock and then matted onto Marina Mist card.  The sentiment is from the Happiest Birthday Wishes 'hostess' stamp set and the kitty has been coloured with Stampn' Write markers using a blender pen and then raised up with a dimensional sticky pad.

There are so many different designer papers in the main catalogue to choose from, and don't forget the Summer mini catalogue has some fab packs too... although remember the mini products are only available until the end of August.
