Cute Magnolia Card

A little while ago I was asked to make a Granddaughter card for a soon to be four year old and so I used a cute Magnolia image along with a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and SU Designer Series Papers to create the card below. Apologies for the slightly blurred image, unfortunately I no longer have the card to take another photo :(


Stamps: Non-SU: Magnolia.
Cardstock: Pretty In Pink and Whisper White. Designer Series Paper - Tea Party.
Ink Pad:
Pretty In Pink. Non-SU: Memento Tuxedo Black.

Accessories: Sponge Daubler, Copics, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Numbers. Sentiment Computer Generated.
Card Size: A5.

Thanks for stopping by.

Tree Trimmings

Hello all,

Well it's been another busy week as usual and my Workshop on Saturday went well making two Christmas cards using the new stamp set "Tree Trimmings". My ladies got to use new goodies from the newly published Idea Book & Catalogue and they created the two cards below:

Tree Trimmings


Stamps: Tree Trimmings, Basic Phrases.
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Old Olive and Whisper White.
Ink Pad:
Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Wersamark Stamp Pad.

Accessories: Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Embossing Buddy, White and Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Striped Grosgrain Ribbon - Real Red, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Corner Rounder Punch.

The below card is a spinner card with the use of two pennies. These fit in between the Word Window slot and enables the ornament to slide left and right across the card as you tilt it slightly to reveal the sentiment behind.

Ink Pad:
Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Garden Green and Versamark Stamp Pad.
