Another Tree Card

Here is another tree card. I like the black and white look!

Christmas Lovely as a Tree Tree's

I am very lucky to have in my hot little hands my Mum's lovely as a tree set. I have put off buying this set as I was afraid that all anyone would ever get from me would be cards with this stamp set on it. Now that I have it here, it is DEFINATELY going on my wish list! This is the most gorgeous set I have stamped with. I have made christmas cards, mens birthday cards, get well cards.. You name it with it since I have had it here. Here is a card that I love! I have seen this type of designed card on many blogs, and I always wanted to give it a try. Do not be too critical on me, as this was my first attempt!! Let me know what you think and if you have any cards made with this set please email me the pictures and we will aim at doing a special feature, on this set.

This card was made using Pacific Point card stock ~A great colour that I have used on several of my christmas card designs this year~ The border stamp is stamped in pacific point. I have based it on basic black and than used white glossy paper, baby wiped in pacific point and brilliant blue ink, and than just stemped the trees in the basic black over it. Than, me being me, needed glitter! So diamond dazzled glitter using the 2 way glue pen on different areas on the card.
Hope yu like it!

creating triangle tri fold using Stampin' Up!

This is one of the current make and takes that I am doing at workshops. Everyone seems to love it! I know that I do. It is using the beautiful tea party designer series paper and the "A Flower For Al Seasons" stamp set. This stamp set is a relatively cheap set ($24.95) but very versatile! I think that the frog in the set is tooo cute! I have made this card basing it on black card stock, layering with a sheet of certainly celery and than overlaping with the "tea party" pink dots. I have wrapped around the main image with the green (looks too me like certainly celery) ribbon,that is free in a ribbon bundle this month for anyone who puts in an order over $100 (you get two colours of ribbon- see flier on blog)
If you would like to see how this card is made, you can hold a workshop, invite your friends over and make some stuff for free!! Please email me to find out how

Tri Shutter Card

For my workshops, I like to ask the hostess what she or he would like to see made. I have a workshop on the weekend, where my wonderful hostess, had asked to see the tri shutter card. I have seen these cards and gee they look nice. But, me being me, never had ventured to make one. So I decided I had better get cracking and make one. I made this a few weeks ago, was going to post it, but the lovely Bec had posted one on her blog the same night and I decided against posting mine in case people thought I was a copy cat lol. Bec's blog is under my paper angels links if you would like to have a look at her gorgeous card.
So, with Mum up here I felt the urge to create!! This is what I came up with! I used pink pirouette as the base card stock. I really like this years in colors! I than added black as a border colour to the raspberry tart designer series paper. I used white ink onto two of my black squares and the gorgeous "Great Friend" Stamp Set, that is available in the mini, for sale until the 30Th November. I really hope that they add this set to the next years September release of our new Stampin' Up! idea book and catalogue.
SO AFTER a bit of measuring and scoring and folding I came up with this card. I really like it, and am planning on using this design of card into my November Christmas card workshops! After adding a brad with a pink rhinestone i was happy.
I hope that my hostess on the weekend likes it! I hope that you do

Gate Fold Card

Here is my first attempt at the gate fold card. I love the idea of the card, but am not too happy with the colouring. I think a brighter colour would look much nicer. Am planning on doing it again using the washington apple DSP.
This card has been done using the perfect plum as a card base, and than I used the sprinkles stamp in perfect plum on pale plum cs. I brushed over the cs with the ink pad to give it that older look. I than used the "priceless" butterfly in the same way, and circle and scalloped punched it.
