Faux torn paper birthday card.

It's Sunday night and I am tired after a day of shopping, gardening and baking cupcakes, then cleaning up the mess after each of activity. So I am pretty tired which makes it a poor time to do blogging. So these following posts will be brief.

Faux torn paper effect with some gold embossed leaves from the autumn splendour stamp set from S.U.

card colours cajun craze, choc chip, and real red. Inks : Cake crumb, close to cocoa and cajun craze. plus versamark for the gold embossing.

Plane and Simple

Another card using the Plane from the plane and simple stamp set. You are going to be so bored by the end of todays blog entries. lol This one is Black and white, No camera or lighting tricks on this one.
I really don't think I need to explain or give in instructions it really is Plane and Simple.
Notice the polka dot back ground, I got my new embossing folder last night. The Greeting was stamped using with S.U's white craft ink onto black card.

Another card using Plane and Simple stamp set

This a card I have cased, I really like this one. Mind you I don't case cards I don't like. So If you are the original designer Well Done and thanks for sharing.
I used the plane and simple stamp set again this time with Vanilla, Early Expresso and Soft Suede card stock and Early expresso ink, all from stampin' up.

Just playing with the I heart hearts stamp set from SU.
Nothing wildly exciting about this one.

Flower Card

Another of the projects we made yesterday on our training day in Soberton.
You may have noticed I don't use buttons very often in my card making , I am not a great lover of buttons but I actually quite like the use of buttons on these projects.
We used the printed petals stamp set for the flower on this card.

Giraffe Card

I have finally decided ,my New favourite colours are Stampin' up;s Cherry cobbler, Pacific point and Marina mist. Ihave really enjoyed having a play with all my new goodies. Today I thought I would have a go at punch art. Not something I have ever seriously tried before, but hey!!! I have new punches so why not give it a go. Here are some of the things I produced.Fran will think this is the giraffe I half heartedly made months ago and she named George. Sorry Fran, this is his baby brother. lol. He is smaller than George. He is made from an assortment of oval and circle punches.

I used bashfull blue ink and a dauber plus a scallop circle to do the sky.

The tree tops are old olive card punched out using the scalloped circle and oval punches.

I have Yet to put the greeting on this card and I think it has to say......... Hi

Moving house Card

For this I used the now retired stamp set loads of love and loads of love accessories. I daubed the sky with bashful blue ink and used my daubers to put in some streaks of green then over stamped with the tree. I stamped the pick up onto patterned paper it cut out , I cut out the window too.

I added a white piece of card behind the window on which I had stamped the couple added some acetate for the window.

I used so saffron ink for the ground.

I mounted the picture onto green card stock after I had punched the corners, then punched the corners again. The brads are faux brads using the technique I wrote about in the instructions for the waistcoat card below.
