Makayla's Creation

Images © 1990-2008 Stampin' Up!®

Makayla (my almost 3 year old) made this card for her Aunty Ange's birthday. The base card is Lovely Lilac and the feature piece is Pale Plum. The birthday cake is from 'Fun and Fast Notes' (pg. 41) and has been stamped in Jet Black Stazon Ink before being watercoloured with a blender pen and Stampin' Pastels. The sentiment is from 'Short and Sweet' (pg. 118), as is the small heart which has been stamped in Versamark onto the Pale Plum piece. The sentiment was punched out using the word window punch.

There's also a dolphin and a heart drawn on the back, as requested by Makayla (she knows her Aunty Ange loves dolphins)!

I have been working on my Christmas cards lately, so I will endeavour to post some soon.

Hello Baby!

I recently caught up with a former colleague that had a gorgeous baby boy named William a few months ago. This is the card that I made to welcome him and congratulate his mum and dad! The main image is stamped using the Wash Day Wheel (which unfortunately is retired) and basic black ink, I've then watercoloured with a blender pen and Stampin' Pastels. The round image is from a retired hostess set called Riveting. I've stamped it in Basic Black ink and Certainly Celery ink and then mounted it onto a Certainly Celery circle. I used the corner rounder punch to create the scalloped edges (there is a tool coming in the Summer mini that does this much easier and quicker).

Here's a close up of the watercolouring. I've cut out the bunny image and mounted it using Stampin' dimensionals to give it some depth.

I hope you like it!

Cute Little Note Cards

Images © 1990-2008 Stampin' Up!®

I made a bunch of these little note cards recently
and I think they're really quite cute. I've used images from the Fun and Fast Notes set (pg.41) and it really does make card making fun and fast. I've stamped the images in Stazon ink on Whisper White cardstock then used my blender pens and Stampin' Pastels to do the watercolouring. I did a little bit of colour at the bottom to create some ground and around the birds to make them pop.
The base card is Bashful Blue and I've used the spot stamp from the Enjoy Every Moment set (pg. 11 Spring mini catalogue) stamped with Versamark to create the background.

I hope these little cards have brightened your day! I'm off to the Stampin' Up!® Regional Training day tomorrow so I'll put up some show and tell later!
