You're Amazing

 Here's a card I CASED recently, featuring the flower from the Best Thoughts stamp set and the "You're Amazing" greeting from the Watercolor Wishes stamp set. Also made use of the Pretty Print TIEF.  I'll be demonstrating this in my next workshop.

Here's a close up of the embossing which was done using the Versamark ink pad and white embossing powder. Once the image was stamped and embossed, it was just a case of water coloring the flower petals and the leaves and stem. Fussy cutting and layering using dimensionals. This is a very simply but effective card for someone amazing.

Happy Mother's Day

A 4-Step card made for Mother's Day, and although my mum is no longer with us, we do think about her often, and this is made in her memory.

 I used the Botanicals die set to make the flowers as well as the Mum's Love stamp set to stamp the greetings.

March Birthday Card Madness

The month of March this year has been a busy one for me.

Starting with our club workshop (see previous post).

There are quite a number of people celebrating birthdays in March, including myself. So I prepared a few birthday cards on hand.

This card was made using the Botanical Builders framelits die. So simply, yet effective. Thinking of who I can give it to.

 This is the inside of the card.

The following 3 cards were for very good friend and members of my extended family. I was on a roll.

 This one below was given to my sister's Mother-in-Law, who's still spritely at 83.

This colourful balloon stamped card below I gave to a friend who was my former Stampin' Up! upline. Her birthday was in February, but I didn't see her until March, saving on the postage.

 And here is the inside - more balloons using the balloon punch

Mickey and Minnie Punched Birthday Card

My neice, Kaylene is currently in Orlando, Florida working at DisneyWorld, so for her birthday I made this card using various punches and new DSP. I think it turned out pretty well.  She received it one day before her birthday in the States, but in Australia, it was her birthday, so it looks like I timed it well when I posted it off to her, it took 2 weeks to get to her.  She was so surprised to receive a card from her family, but so happy that we were thinking of her and missing her.
