I love this stanp set - Seasons Of Joy. It's just so flexible, for this card I used markers to ink up different parts of the stamp. Try this one at home:

Stamp Set - Seasons Of Joy

Markers - Rose Red, Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery

Cardstock - Whisper White, Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery

Designer Series Paper - Rose Red

Grosgrain Ribbon - Always Artichoke

Taffeta Ribbon - White

Other - Mat Pack

I also made this card into a pop-up card by adding this photo to the inside. It's just so cute that I couldn't resist - it pops up when you open up the card.

Merry Christmas!

Making Memories

We recently made this accordion mini-album in one of my classes. I love the way this opens up with its accordion hinges. I decided to try out a Simply Scrapping Kit, which I've never used before but now I LOVE!! I chose 'Sweet Nothings' as I love these colours - Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip and Kiwi Kiss.

I will definately be investing in another one of these kits as it was really good value - I could have made at least three of these albums from one kit!

The front cover of album was inspired by one made by Jacque, my upline, and the pattern for the ablum itself was passed on to me by Louisa, who is part of our Creative Inkers team.

Make a Film Strip

I made this card a while back for a child's brithday. I used my 'Wild About You' set, which I love as it's turned out to be really flexible for all sorts of projects.

I also used the Spiral Punch to create a film strip look on the basic black cardstock. This punch has been very well used - it's designed to fit the spirals of a note book so you can beautifully personalise the cover of your notebook, diary, etc...  but I've used the Spiral Punch to add texture and details to all sorts of cards and scrapbook pages - it's a great way to make your journelling spot look like a page torn from your notebook.

If you'd like to re-create this here's how:

Base Card: Basic Black

Layering: Sage Shaddow

Film Strip: Basic Black with Spiral Punch

Images: Whisper White with 1 3/8" Square Punch

Ink: Sage Shaddow, Perfect Plum, So Saffron

Stamp Sets: Wild About You & Best Yet

Fathers Day Card Recipe

I made this card for Fathers Day. It was inspired by a swap I received at a recent training day and has an acetate portion, with the "Happy Fathers Day" message behind it, on the inside of the card.
As I didn't have a fathers day stamp, I printed "Fathers Day" on whisper white cardstock then added the "Happy" image from the "Happy Everything" Stamp Set.

I actually used retired cardstock colours but this card would look great in the following colours:
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White
Ink: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy
Stamp Sets: Seeing Spots, Happy Everything, Cheers To You
Other: Acetate, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch

Just a quick one...

This is one of the cards we made at my last quick cards class. It truly was quick and easy to do and is very eye catching.

We Used:

Baroque Motifes & Warm Words Stamp Sets

Rose Red, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla cardstock

Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Brocade Blue Ink

5/8" Old Olive Grossgrain Ribbon

Dazzling Diamonds Glitter & 2-Way Glue Pen

There will be another Quick Cards class on Sunday 13th September. We'll be making 3 cards using the "Oval All' stamp set from the new Spring Mini catalogue.
