Ruby Anniversary

Hi all,

Recently been asked to make a Ruby Anniversary card and decided to use the Speciality Papers (now SOLD OUT) again as these are just so gorgeous! I really like the quality of these foil cardstock papers and decided it was fitting to use these with Ruby Red cardstock for a Ruby Anniversary card :) The Ruby Red Satin Ribbon was acheived by brayering Stampin' Up! White Satin Ribbon with Ruby Red ink pad with the brayer :) I really like the effect that you can create ribbon in any one of the 48+ colours from the numerous ink pads Stampin' Up! sell.

Another Vintage Vogue With Sincere Salutations Birthday Card

Hi all,

Hope all's well with you and thought I'd share with you a recent card I made, using Vintage Vogue from the Mini Catalogue again, teamed up with Sincere Salutations again, lol. Using different stamps from the Vintage Vogue set, a different layout and colour combination, my card below clearly looks different to my previous upload, so it just goes to show how you can get a lot out of your stamp sets!

Hope you like :)
