Bring on the cake!

I had a lovely little workshop last Sunday for a fairly new customer, Tanya. We were meeting to make 3 cards together for $12. These are always fun classes because it allows everyone to try out a few different ideas and techniques and play with many of Stampin' Up's wonderful tools.

One of the requests for Tanya's workshop was a girlie birthday card. This colour combo came to me in a lovely way - I had some melon mambo cardstock out and just popped it on my desk with a few scraps that were already there which happened to be in Daffodil delight, Peach parfait and Regal rose! I found it to be such a fun and girly combo!


I have used the delightful and very handy Cupcake punch for this card. This is currently available in the mini catalogue as is the cute pom pom trim seen here in Tangerine tango and Daffodil delight. The melon mambo background and the cupcake base have been embossed in the bigshot with the polkadot folder.

Also in the mini is this fantastic Birthday greetings set called Bring on the cake. This is where the cute sentiment comes from and we also stamped Happy Birthday on the inside of the card and coloured it in using the Stampin' write markers.

Happy Stamping!
Love, Claire

Christmas card production line!

Good morning girls!!

As promised, here is a little piccie of the cards that my sister and I have mass produced for her clients! We made 80 in all and actually Laura is yet to finish putting them all together as we just ran out of time at the end of her stay (truth be told, sushi and shopping took priority!).

We used items from the Delightful decorations bundle to make this card - that includes the Ornament punch, Delightful decorations stamp set and the Old olive ribbon from the free ribbon bundle, Mistletoe originals. The colours used are Cherry cobbler and Old olive on a Whisper white base. The Old olive stamped decoration is actually stamped on the inside of the card and the card front has had the decoration shape punched out to form a little window. The sentiment comes from the Welcome Christmas stamp set and is stamped in Early espresso ink. We also used the Perfect polkadots embossing folder to achieve the polkadot pattern on the Cherry cobbler cardstock.

Don't forget that the Dress up Christmas Promotion where you can qualify for free ribbons runs out on November 30th. Contact me if you'd like to order any of these gorgeous bundles with free ribbon before then.

Happy stamping! Love, Claire
