Birthday bike

There are some lovely hostess stamp sets in the main catalogue, and I just love the Summer Afternoon set:

I've used the lovely bicycle image for a male birthday card, by teaming it up with some of the papers from the   Festival of Prints DSP pack in the Autumn/Winter catalogue...

The base is Basic Grey and I've used Island Indigo to matt the image to.  A few brads and it's good to go.

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.

Swinging thank you

Have you seen the hostess sets in the main catalogue?

 

The card I have to share with you today includes one of the images from the Summer Afternoon hostess stamp set:

 

Here's the card which uses some of the papers from the Patio Party DSP pack...

 





The flash didn't work on my camera so the pic looks a little dull.  I've used Pink Pirouette for the Label Collection framelits and Whisper White for the image piece.  The image has been coloured with blender pens using Stampin' Write markers and I've attached a length of the Organza ribbon behind the panel.

 

If you would like to get your hands on this stamp set or any of the other hostess sets, you don't actually have to hold a party or workshop.  Instead you can just collect orders from your friends/family and earn hostess pounds in return.  Contact me to find out more, or of course book a party or workshop.
