Birthday Wishes….

I’ve been a huge fan of Silke Leglow way before I started Stampin’ Up!  I love her clean crisp cards.

Today’s post is one of the cards we did in a class way back in May but of course I changed it to suit Stampin’ Up! products.  Thank you so much Silke for your inspiration!

SC 083/13…

It was my turn to create the challenge this week over at Sunny Challenges & Creations & thought seeing as though it is now July – a Christmas Challenge would be in order.  Along with the sketch, we had to create a card, 3-D item or scrapbook page.

I don’t know if you have noticed in the new catalogue that there are NO Christmas/Holiday Stamp Sets or Accessories, BUT there is the Carry Over List from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.  In saying that, there is no reason as to why you could not use a retired Stamp Set to create your card or even a non-traditional stamp set!!!! You may surprise yourself with what you can come up with!

For those that know me, I tend to steer away from traditional Christmas Colours & like to go more with non-traditional colours, as in today’s card – Very Vanilla, Soft Suede & Pink Pirouette.  I love these colours together & not just for Christmas.  Of course, how could I not create a card without using my favourite Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots!

Supplies –
Stamp Set Ornament Keepsakes – 128051, Petite Pairs – 122497
Ink  Pink Pirouette – 126956
Cardstock  Very Vanilla – 106550, Soft Suede – 119982
Framelits  Holiday Ornaments – 127816
Punches  Large Oval – 119855, Scallop Oval – 119856
Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots – 117335
Accessories  Big Shot – 113439, Snail Adhesives – 104332, Multipurpose Liquid Glue – 110755, Stampin’ Dimensionals – 104430, Rhinestone Basic Jewels – 119246, Stampin’ Write Marker – Neutrals – Soft Suede – 131261

Last Day…

… to order from the Retiring List

To celebrate the current Stampin’ Up! Catalogue, I thought I would share with you the box of cards I created again using Retiring Products.  The idea come about after creating my card for the current Sunny Challenges challenge, which still has one more week to run, so it is not too late to link your creation with Mr Linky.

If you remember I created a box of 3 x 3 Gift Cards using Nature Walk & the Regal Inks which are retiring, a couple of days ago, so this time I thought I do would a similar sort of thing using the retiring Subtles Colours.

I created 4 cards – 2 x Regal Rose & 2 x Pretty in Pink.  All cards have a different greeting/sentiment on them. The box has touches of Pretty in Pink.  The word “Cards” on the box was created in MDS & printed in Certainly Celery.

Regal Rose & Pretty in Pink?

 
Until next time, Happy Stampin!

Our challenge over at Sunny Challenges is to create a project using the sketch as well as retiring Stampin’ Up! product.  To play along, all you have to do is check out that long Retiring List.

As the sketch is wide open, I thought I would try something a little different with my card this week.  In fact I enjoyed this fun technique that it is going to be included in our Technique Class next month.

I remember seeing a card which was using a tile technique on Pinterest, but as usual didn’t take much notice or didn’t save it, thinking I would not be using it, but it did stick in my mind.  Thank you so much for your inspiration.

After playing around for a little time, I eventually come up with something that I was happy with.

Not only did I do this for the challenge, but I also created a couple to post off to a couple of customers this month – different colours of course, but will show you them at a later stage.

Retiring Products I’ve used included –
Stamp Set – Nature Walk
Cardstock – Baja Breeze
Ink – Baja Breeze
SU! Write Markers – Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery

I am really going to miss the Stamp Set – Nature Walk, but no doubt SU! will have something better.

Don’t forget to pop on over to Sunny Challenges & check out what both Kris & Carole have created using the sketch & retiring products.
 
You have 2 weeks to create your project.  We love seeing your work & leaving comments, so be sure to link it back with Mr Linky.
 
Until next time, Happy Stampin’

Pleated Skirts….

I am so far behind in my posts that I think I have enough cards to post for the next couple of months without adding any extras I’ve created in between posts.  Where does the time go????

Our card today is one we created sometime ago in Crafty Creations.  As most of the ladies have either a Big Shot or Cuttlebug, once a month, we concentrate on these products.  It is usually a great way for them to learn how to use their tools.  Included in this class we also concentrated on the Technique – Chalks or Pastels, including learning how to create a pleated skirt from paper.

I let the ladies know what we will be creating each week & what to bring along if they want.  This way, they are using the “stuff” they may have & familiarising themselves with their own “stuff“.  I took along a number of different Embossing Folders for the ladies who don’t have a machine or Folders.

I think this is another card I saw on Pinterest, but am not that sure.  Please let me know if you recognise it, as I would love to give you credit for the inspiration.
