Blow Out The Candles - Day 3

Today's card is to welcome a new baby.

This card I coordinated with a lovely stamp set called A Little Wild.

It not only shows the front of each animal or cuddly, it has the back of them too.

I used the Balloons from Blow Out The Candles to make the background. 

 I coloured some White Sheer Ribbon using the ink pads in So Saffron, Calypso Coral  and Smoky Slate.

I used Whisper White and Smoky Slate cardstock and the message was cut using the Pretty Label Punch.

Mango Melody - Day 5 

My last card this week is of course a Christmas Card.

We have so many classes and groups over the next few months that it's Christmas all the way!

Anyway, I used the lovely stamps from the Christmas Traditions Punch Box set.

It is at the very front inside cover of the Seasonal Catalogue.

It comes in a gorgeous Red tin box with 2 Stampin' Spots in, Real Red and Call Me Clover.

It also has the coordinating punch and a Stampin' Clear block.

6 lovely messages in one place. Perfect.

This card is White on White but I edged the card through the Mango Melody ink pad to 

give the yellowy tinge to it.

Another very simple card to finish off the week.

I hope you have found some inspiration for your projects this week.

Cary will be returning on Monday with some more of her lovely creations,

Thank you for joining me this week.  

Mango Melody - Day 4 

Today's card took a little longer but is still a very easy card.

I used Mango Melody, Pear Pizazz and Whisper White cardstock and ink.

This time I used Healing Hugs stamp set.

I stamped 3 of the flowers on the Whisper White card mat.

Then another 3 flowers which I fussy cut out.

I stamped several of the leaves and fussy cut  

and placed them around the flowers.

The message above and below says it all and is also in the stamp set.

I love the messages in this set.

Mango Melody - Day 3 

This one is another very simple card. Yes, I know that I often say that but it's so very true.

It IS a very quick and simple card.

This is the first card that I've made with the Flourish Filigree stamp set.

LOVE IT!

I used Blackberry Bliss for the card base, Mango Melody for the stamping and the

1st mat and Whisper White card for the top mat.

The stamp for the Happy Christmas Wishes is in the same set and was punched out 

perfectly with the Pretty Label Punch.

I punched out 2 more with the punch and Blackberry Bliss cardstock.

Mango Melody - Day 2

Today's card is another simple one.

Using Floral Statements stamp set, I stamped the HELLO in Basic Gray ink.

  

Using a water brush, I coloured the flowers and leaves in with Mango Melody and Pear Pizazz.

I love the embossing folder Layering leaves so I used that to add a little texture

to the Whisper White mat.

I matted the white onto a piece of the Mango Melody then onto the Whisper White card base.

A simple message from the same stamp set and this one is finished.

Colour - Mango Melody 

Hello and welcome back. Some more beautiful cards by Cary last week weren't they.

I really LOVE the Dashing Deer stamp set and dies. 

Brilliant!

This week I've been playing with another of the gorgeous NEW colours from

Stampin' Up! this time it's Mango Melody.

This gorgeous orangey yellow colour is lovely and fresh, bright and looks like the inside of a really ripe mango. Yum!

For my card here, I randomly stamped the daisy from Daisy Delight stamp set.

Then using the skeleton leaf stamp and Pear Pizazz Ink pad, I stamped again.

Three more daisies which I punched out with the coordinating daisy punch.  

The messages are also in the stamp set

 Just a lovely finish to a bright fresh card.

Foiled Card - Day 5

This is my last card for this week so thank you in joining me.

It's coming up very, very quickly now so this  one has to be a Christmas card. 

I used Copper Foil, Gray Granite and Whisper White cardstock for this one. 

Dashing Deer stamp set and Gray Granite Ink pad.

I diecut the circle and the Reindeer from Copper Foil but as one blended into the other, I embossed the deer with the Subtle embossing Folder. 

I LOVE the effect it gives.

I embossed the white mat with Scattered Sequins embossing Folder and as I had some snowflakes left over from using the Blizzard Framelits last week, I added them too.

The messages from Dashing Deer finish this card off.

Thank you for stopping by this week. 

I hope you've found some ideas and inspiration using the gorgeous Foiled Sheets.

Foiled Card - Day 4

This card is gender neutral so will be hooefully welcomed by all. 

I used Gold Foiled Card and Whisper White cardstock for this one. I added some pieces of the Broadway Bound beautiful papers.

The matching Broadway Birthday Stamp set, Versamark and Gold Embossing powder for the messages. 

It looks like I've used lots of foiled card on this one but in actual fact only 1, C6 mat and a scrap was used.

The largest and the 2nd and 3rd mats were gutted. 

That is the centre was cut out using a trimmer and only a small outer rim was used for each mat. It's always good to make the most of your products.

A small strips of paper was left over so I've added it to the inside.

Foiled Card - Day 3

Continuing from yesterday's card, I used Lovely as a Tree stamp set, Copper embossing powder and Versamark. 

A pack of the Foiled Sheets is only £3.75 

Only 2 sheets in a pack but they go such a very long way.

Copper Foiled Card this time with Very Vanilla cardstock and another piece, cut from Delightfully Detailed Die Cut Papers. 

There are SOOO many mats you can get from a pack of them!

I cut a circle let from a piece of card then sponged into the hole using Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie ink.

I don't think it needed a good other colours.

I finished off using messages from

 Special  Celebrations stamp set.

Foiled Card - Day 2

Hello. Today I used a little artistic flair. 

Starting with a Very Vanilla card base, I used another to sponge Balmy Blue and then Pear Pizazz to make the background.  

I stamped using Lovely as a Tree in Pear Pizazz. Using the Stamparatus, I stamped some little birds and coloured them in using the Stamp n' write Marker Pens.

The birds are from the Painted Glass stamp set.The 'Georgian' window effect was cut from the Delightfully Detailed Die Cut Papers. 

I finished off with the messages from Special Celebrations stamp set.
