Sunny Fun - March Stamp-A-Stack

Today I have had time to make some cards for our Stamp-A-Stack in March.  These cards use the stamp set Sunny Fun and I thought they would be great for girls. 

I have used various colours including Rich Razzleberry, Marina Mist and Tangarine Tango.  The sentiment comes from the Hostess set, Happiest Birthday Wishes.

The other set of cards available to be made at the Stamp-A-Stack on Saturday 17 March are those in the posting below.

More details of this Stamp-A-Stack soon.

Need for Speed - what a great stamp set

Just thought I would share with you a set of cards I made yesterday.  They use the stamp set Need For Speed.  I CASed these cards from a fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Sherri Freese although I had to adapt my cards as I didn't have all the stamp set she had used. 

I initially thought this was a great new stamp set for blokes but having made the red card with the sports car I realise it is not just limited to the men in our world.  Memories of a little red car I once owned came to mind.

These cards will be available for making as part of my March Stamp-A-Stack.  More details about this workshop are available on the side bar of this blog.  If you are interested in joining this SAS please contact me by email or phone (6251 4346) and i will put your name down.

Card stock: Tempting Turquoise, Bravo Burgundy, Not Quite Navy, Real Red,Whisper White, Basic Black.

The Female card uses a new embossing folder that is available in the Mini catalogue called Flower Garden.  I have also used stamps from the 5th Ave Floral set and a sentiment from the Short and Sweet to complete this card.

Fifth Ave Floral

This is a card using Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set.  Fifth Avenue Floral is a beautiful stamp set and can make many cards in varying styles.

This is a card made by my sister, Denise, as part of some Stamp-a-stacks she is running early this year.  She has used Rose Red, Regal Rose and So Safron with a touch of Dazzling Diamonds to sparkle it up.

Great job Denise!  Thanks too for helping sort out my blog.

A birthday card for my brother

My brother, Ian, is celebrating his birthday this week and I have made him a card using the stamp set Open Sea with its matching DS paper.  Ian has done quite a bit of sailing over the years although he is not quite old enough to have sailed on boats of the era shown on his card.

I have used Not Quite Navy and Basic Grey card stock and Not Quite Navy ink to create this card.

This stamp set and paper are featured in the Summer Mini Catalogue.  If you would like to see the full catalogue click on the Summer Mini Catalogue on the right hand side bar.  There are lots of wonderful new products available until the end of March in this mini catalogue.

I have included 2 photos to show the card standing and lying flat so that you can see how the DS paper has been used.

Another Lovely As a Tree Christmas Card

This is the last Christmas post I will put up until next year.

This card was made using the ever popular Lovely As A Tree stamp set.  It is a simple and quick card using the Craft White ink pad on Night of Navy card stock.

You need to let the white ink dry and then you put random glue pen spots across the card.  Sparkle the card up with Dazzling Diamonds to make it look like it is snowing and then tear across the bottom edge.

This is such a simple card and so quick to make.  It will definitely be in a Stamp-A-Stack for next year.
