Quick Card


This is a quick card I whipped up for a friend's birthday. I used Soft Sky card stock and ribbon. I also Spring Silhouette Designer background papers. The layout for the card is from a card on Splitcoast Stampers. It is so easy. All you do is measure 21cm down one side of a A4 sheet and then do the same on the other side from the opposite end.  You then fold the card into thirds in a zig zag and decorate it.

Onesie


This card (pronounced one-see)  is another card I taught at the "Inkers Arvo"  run by another Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Cathy Clark.  She is so good to us all and keeps us enthused about being a demonstrator.  Colours are Whisper White and Bashful Blue.  Stamp sets are Polka dot background stamp, and For a Friend (Hostess set).  I also used the 1 3/8" circle punch and the scalloped circle punch.  This type of card is really simple but effective.

Waterfall Commotion


This waterfall card was a dilemma.  After using a few different stamp sets I finally settled for Ocean Commotion and I really like the result.  Colours I have used include Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Certaily Celery.  I taught a group of local Stampin' Up! demonstrators how to make the card at our "Inkers Arvo" so we might see a few more of them around Albany.  Thanks for looking

So Jealous.

While I was blog surfing I came across this NZ blogsite of Amy Fleming and when I came across this picture, I was so jealous. I love stamping, stationary and storage. I "need" this. Why not check out what I am drooling about here.
