An Andrea Walford CASE

Hi!

Today's card is a CASE of one made by Andrea Walford.  She makes the most stunning cards.  The only thing I changed was the colour of the base card.  The recipient of this card loves pink, so I used Pretty In Pink instead of the Pear Pizzazz Andrea used.

The main panel is stamped with the En Francais Background stamp in Whisper White craft ink.   It's such an elegant stamp and looks fantastic as a subtle accent.

I layered two of the Beautiful Wings butterflies and gave them rhinestone bodies.  Such a simple card, but I think it looks fab.

Stamps: En Francais BG
Ink: Whisper White Craft
Cardstock: Pretty In Pink, Basic Black
Other: Big Shot, Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Basic Jewels Rhinestones

Sweet and Sour Flower

Hi!

I made this card because I wanted to try out a new flower making technique.  Well, it's not really a new technique, just new to me.

I bought a Flower Loom from Spotlight in the hope that I could use it to make flowers for my papercrafting.  Wool flowers didn't really work as they were too floppy.  I used some sliver cord for this flower and I was pretty happy about how it turned out.  The flower held it's shape nicely however it was quite bulky.

I added a large clear rhinestone brad to the centre of the flower for a little extra interest.

Stamps: Curly Cute
Ink: Rose Red
DSP/Cardstock: Sweet and Sour Speciality DSP, Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie
Other: Flower Loom, Silver Cord, Rhinestone Brad, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

CASED Card

Hi!

Today's card was made way back when Sale-A-Bration was going strong.  I CASED it from the very talented Judy May, who I was finally able to meet in person at Convention recently.

I loved Judy's card so much I CASED it almost exactly!  It was my first go using the Silver Brushed Metallic Cardstock, which is just gorgeous.

It's such a fantastic design for a boy's card.  Judy is a very talented and inspiring card maker.

Stamps: Punch Bunch (2011 SAB), Classic Stars Jumbo Wheel
Ink: Real Red
DSP/Cardstock: Celebration DSP, Sliver Brushed Metallic, Real Red, Pacific Point, Whisper White
Other: Big Shot, Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Silver Brads, Paper Snips, Scallop Square Punch, Dimensionals

One Of A Kind

Hi!

I was searching through some older photos and came across a few cards I haven't blogged yet.  This card I made for my sister for her birthday way back in March.  Sorry for the not so great photos, I think I was still using my old camera.

The card uses some rub ons for the image and sentiment - no stamping on this card!  The rub ons are long retired, but they are so pretty I couldn't leave them sitting on the shelf.

I cut the Top Note shape and then cut on oval out of the middle to create a frame for the main image.  A few rhinestones around the bottom of the frame to bling it up a little.

DSP/Cardstock: Love Letter DSP, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla
Other: Big Shot, Top Note Die, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Rub Ons (I can't remember the name!)

My First Vintage Vogue Card

Hi!

I'm so excited to be back from Convention and stamping again.  My head is filled with so many ideas!  It's just a shame the body isn't quite so willing - I was in a little car accident last week that didn't seem like much at the time but I have injured my back and started physio today.  It all means I can't sit at my table for as long as I would like.  Hopefully the physio does the trick and I can get back into stamping for longer periods.

Anyway, here is the card I made after I returned from Convention. My first using Vintage Vogue, which was also my first time using Stampin Up's clear mount stamps.

I was quite pleased with how it turned out.  Here's a closer look at the flowers on the front:

I used Dazzling Diamonds on the centres - another first.  I received a tub of the glitter at Convention and am now wondering why I hadn't got some sooner!

I was totally inspired by the gorgeous cards of Teneale Williams at Convention, so I stamped the inside of the card too.  It's a lovely little surprise when the recipient opens the card.  I really should do it more often!

Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Well Scripted (retired)
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive
Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Very Vanilla
Other: Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Paper Snips, Sponge Daubers, Dimensionals, Stamp Positioner
