Happy Birthday Ashly…

Published on by Vicky Wright1 Comment
I’ve done something a little different for today.  Still making a card, I decided to make this from a card I had stashed away from my pre-SU® days.  I’ve also seen a few around on different blogs.
This is for my niece who has her birthday in about a week’s time.  They have just been allocated a new house for a couple of months while their house is being fixed.  They were evacuated from the floods in Emerald.  The girls thought it a big adventure as they got to ride in a boat as well as a helicopter.
I’ve actually only used 1 x 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP for the purse, while the flap is a piece of DSP –  4 1/2″ x 2″.
For the greeting, I printed it on the printer, then cut it out using the Word Window Punch.  The font colour is actually Pumpkin Pie.  I’ve been playing with font colours on my pc and have managed to save a couple of font colours under SU’s colour family.
The flower I used my Stampin’ Pastels & adhered the button in the middle.  The button is from my sewing box!  I also added a flower to the inside.
The small pocket for your gift card or in my case “money” is made from a piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, scored around 3 sides  adhere to the inside.

Stamp Set – Nil
Ink – Nil
Cardstock – Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla
DSP – Sweet & Sour Speciality
Punches – Word Window Large, Modern Label Extra Large, 3/16″ Corner Small

Until next time, Enjoy!

Christmas Pressies…

I’ve been asked to make 12 Post-It Notes for small Christmas Gifts.  I wanted to keep them simple & not have too much on the front.  With being in your bag all the time, they tend to get knocked around a lot, so keeping them simple suited the purpose.
I’ve kept with the basic Post-It Notes Holder, as I don’t think you can beat a classic.  It is so easy to make.
Cut a piece of cardstock 6 3/4″ x 3 1/4″
Score at 3 1/2″ & 4″
Embellish as desire

In this case, I printed all the names on the pc.
How easy is that?

Wonders will never cease!  I’ve managed to complete yet another challenge.  This time it is over at http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/ – great sketch!
I am not sure if you have noticed, but the last lot of cards I’ve made, have all been colours I don’t usually work with, but this time I have really done it!
My Card –
Not only did I use my SU® Pastels around the edges of the stamped flower image, I’ve also used them around the edges of the greeting.  I think it gives it a softer look & finish!  What do you think?
