Hello baby boy & class date change

Hi my stamping friends :)

I hope you are all well out there in blogland! Before I get onto sharing my card with you, I need to let you know about a date change for my May stamping class. This month is "Children's cards" and we will be making a baby boy card, a boy or girl birthday card (you decide) and a girly birthday card. The class is $10 for all 3 cards and will now be held on Tuesday May 29th at 7:30pm in Cairns. If you would like to come along please let me know by this Sunday May 27th. clairedaunceysu @ gmail.com

So, to the card... this is one of the cards we'll be making at our class - it's a cute baby boy card (I just love those owls!) but I think this one could almost stretch to a first birthday card if you used a different sentiment.

The colours are Marina mist, Pear pizzazz and whisper white and I have used the cute Nursery nest papers (which I have bought to scrapbook with for my own babies!) with some grosgrain ribbon in Marina mist and also used the polkadot embossing folder on the Pear pizzazz cardstock. It's a nice, quick and easy card :)



There is also only a few days left to take advantage of our paper party offer! If you purchase 3 packs of  designer series papers you will receive a fourth pack for free! Also if you sign up as a demonstrator by purchasing our fully customisable starter kit you will receive a free pack of desinger series paper every month until December this year! Purchasing our starter kit has no strings attached but lots of opportunities to either start your own business or to increase your stamping supplies.

Please contact me if you have any questions at all!
Happy stamping!
Love, Claire

My sister, the newlywed

Hi my friends!

So much to share with you all! I have had an amazing week away with my two little sisters in Thailand as Laura (my middle sister) tied the knot with her man, Joel! My youngest sister, Olivia and I were bridesmaids with three of Laura's close friends.

My favourite photo from the trip. (L-R Olivia, Laura and me!)
Of course, I had to make the lovely couple a card and with the wedding colours being a lovely grey and yellow combo I could not resist following this theme in my card.
I used the cute little stamp set, You are loved, and heat embossed it using Clear embossing powder and versamark with Daffodil delight ink. This made the heart image pop and look a bit more special. The best way to do this with our inks is to ink up your stamp in versamark, then on top of that ink up with the colour of choice (here, daffodil delight). Then once you have stamped your image, sprinkle on the clear embossing powder and heat set. Simple! :)
The greeting is from my favourite greetings set, Teeny tiny Sentiments. For a little bit of extra texture and bling I have used the hearts embossing folders from the new Adorning accents embossing folders set (In the current mini catalogue) and some stick on rhinestones.
The colours are Basic grey and Daffodil delight on Whisper white.

Then, as a gift for the lovely couple I saw this idea on another blog and thought it was perfect as they were having a destination wedding! I thought it might be a nice little picture to hang up in their home somewhere. I decided to stick with the wedding colours again as I decorated it. They ended up putting the picture up on their guest book table at the wedding which was totally unexpected but I was blessed to see that they liked it :)

 
Close up, the maps are printed from Google maps and cut out freehand.
The guest book table at the wedding. Laura had a gorgeous photo book printed up in black and white which all the guests signed in silver pen! A lovely idea as a momento from their day.
Thanks for looking everyone! I hope this has brightened your day... and maybe given you an idea for a wedding or anniversary gift, or even a gift for your other half perhaps?
Happy stamping!
Love,
Claire
