Continuing the Jolly Jingles theme, I created the following Mini Milk Carton to match the Hostess card and gift box:

Next Stampin' Up! Class - 9 July 2011

Hi all,

Another great class with the ladies today, playing with the Big Shot and the lovely Fun Flowers Bigz L Die, exclusive to Stampin' Up! These cards were inspired by a few cards online.

These cards were made today which we found were very quick and easy to make as the die makes it a quick way to layer and make an effective flower:

On the ladies cards, they clear embossed their sentiment which made it more effective and stood out from the patterned background paper.

Cardstock: Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze. Designer Series Paper - Springtime Vintage.
Inkpad: Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze.
Accessories: Big Shot, Fun Flowers Bigz L Die, Sponge Dauber, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Dimensionals and SU Bone Folder.

Card Two


Stamps: Occasional Greetings (P.21) and Very Vintage (P.62).
Cardstock: Crumb Cake and Pretty In Pink. Designer Series Paper - Melon Mambo.
Inkpad: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose.
Accessories: Big Shot, Fun Flowers Bigz L Die, 5/8" Satin Ribbon - Old Olive, Stampin' Around Jumbo Handle, Sponge Dauber, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Dimensionals, Glue Dots and SU Bone Folder.
Card Size: A6

Cards Together


To complete these cards, the folowing stamp sets and accessories were used:

Baby Tees - Baby Girl Square Card

Morning all,

Hope you're having a good week so far. Been playing with my Baby Tees jumbo wheel recently and some Dazzling Diamonds and created a very girly/sparkly baby card perfect for the arrival of a little girl. I'm so loving this stamp set, the trouble is I'm making too many baby cards and no one to give them to! lol.

Anyway, enough of my waffle, heres's the card below:

Baby Tees


Stamps: Baby Tees Jumbo Wheel, P39.
Cardstock: Pretty In Pink, Rose Red and Whisper White.
Inkpad: Pretty In Pink and Rose Red. Versamark Stamp Pad.
Accessories: Corner Rounder Punch, Heat & Stick Powder, Dazzling Diamonds, Heat Tool, Stampin' Write Marker - Pretty In Pink, Bone Folder, Paper Snips and 3D dimensionals.
Card Size: 5" x 5"

The babygros are really sparkly:


Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Another month, another workshop!

Hi all,

Not only where does the time go, but where does a month go?!? It's that time again when I host my next Stampin' Up! Workshop :)

Tomorrow I shall be doing a Wheel Workshop and will be creating three beautiful cards using different wheel stamps. I originally thought of this idea last month and wanted to do a Wheel Workshop so I decided to host a Wheel Card Swap on ILWS to get some ideas.

Below are the cards we will be making tomorrow:


The middle Barely Banana card was inspired and CASED from Jeannette, thank you for such a lovely Wheel Swap Card :) This card was so beautiful I decided to use this one and change small details such as the colour and ribbon. The last card was inspired and CASED from Sarah-Jane, another Wheel Swap Card. This time, I've changed the DSP, colour and other little bits and bobs and created the above, which I'm really happy with.

It's wonderful to be able to share ideas and be inspired from such wonderful talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.

Bye for now,

Alex

Friday Already!

Stamps: Jumbo Wheel - "Nursery Letters" and Hostess Level 2 Stamp Set "Cause For Celebration".
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Brocade Blue.
Ink Pad: Bashful Blue.
Accessories: Crop-A-Dile, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch. Gingham Ribbon - Light Blue.
