Mum’s 70th Birthday card

Ok … so I made this card nearly a month ago and I’m only just getting around to posting it here. It has been an “interesting” month for me with my husband having an accident at work some 3.5 weeks ago (the day after I made this card) and he being in hospital with a broken foot, followed by surgery (he’s now the proud (?) owner of a plate & 8 screws) and post op appointments and now to add to that he also has a small blood clot in the same leg … apparrently a possible complication from the type of injury/surgery so more unplanned trips to the hospital. Kinda hoping it’s all going to be smooth sailing from here on in!
This is the card I made for my Mum’s 70th birthday, using the same colours, theme, idea as her invitations I love how it came together!
All products used (except the embossing powder) are SU products. Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by my blog!

Boys and their toys

Hello! Long time no post. Not because I’ve not been making cards but rather due to life & what has unfolded over the last month … some good and some not so good.
Anyway I made this card for part of an order … clean and simple with all product being Stampin’ UP!
Thanks for taking the time to drop by! 

Butterflies in Blue

Based this card on last week’s SCS CS377 using the fabulous SU Everyday Enchantment DSP, Soft Suede, Baja Breeze & Very Vanilla cardstock & Soft Suede Ink. Accessories Cherry Cobbler striped grosgrain ribbon & Beautiful Butterflies die.
Thanks so much for stopping by & hope you are having a great week!

Thank You!

I always knew the creative side of my brain worked better in the morning and this card is a good example. I wanted to make a thank you card for someone and this card came together really easy once I chose my colour scheme. All products are SU … Stamps – Faith in Nature, Build a Blossom, Fresh Vintage; Inks & Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Baja Breeze; Accessories ; sponge for inking, Build a Blossom punch. I’m really happy with the end result, so I can see that this one will be replicated a few times!

70th Birthday Invites

Mum turns 70 next month, so we’ve decided to throw her a surprise birthday party! To get the ball rolling I made these invites to send out to everyone. Except the white cardstock and embossing powder, all other products are SU products and include: Stamps – En Francais, Cheer & Wishes & Strength & Hope. Cardstock & Ink – Vintage Violet and Versamark. Embossing powder is a white hologram, and I think the bling & sparkle show up in the above photo. I also sponged around the top 2 layers but this doesn’t seem to show up very well. Had fun making them and am going to use the basic card idea/theme for a card for Mum!

Merry Christmas!

Where did my post go!?! I’ve done all this once and posted to my blog but the post was empty! Ok, I’m being good and have started my Christmas cards. This one is a combination of Papertrey Ink stamps (Sign Language) and Stampin’ Up! inks & cardstock (soft suede & cherry cobbler) and accessories (scallop dots ribbon in cherry cobbler & stripes EF). Fairly quick and easy to replicate! Thanks for taking the time to drop by!

Go Confidently in the Direction of your Dreams …

Ok … I have to be honest and say that I totally cased this card by the very talented Teneale Williams, thanks so much for your inspiration Teneale!! I just loved everything about it and thought it would be perfect to give to our son Damian as he starts his 3rd year of uni. All Stampin’ Up! products – Stamps: The Open Sea & Word Play; Cardstock and ink colours: Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy, Cherry Cobbler & Chocolate Chip
Still trying to find a good place to take photos of my cards as it’s either too bright or not bright enough.
Hope you are having a great weekend!
