LNS 133…

After creating this card for a challenge, I suddenly realised that it was wrong for the challenge, so back to the drawing board for me. Anyhow, it has been specially created for my niece who turns the BIG 18 – she is now LEGAL!!!!! Look out Everyone!
I have also used 2 stamp sets which are retiring at the end of August – Great Friend, which has been a really great friend to me, as I love this set & Baroque Motifs.  This is a special set too, although I haven’t used it as much as what I should have.

I stuck with Whisper White for my base card, as I wanted to keep it very clean & simple, but hoping that it would turn out very elegant! I also wanted it very soft, pretty & feminie for Bonnie!

I stamped the sentiment using Marina Mist Ink, scored every 1/2″ down the card, grabbed the flower & adhered with a SU Dimensional. The butterfly was stamped in Bashful Blue Ink – so long since I have used this colour that I completely forgot how soft it is – & Marina Mist on the edges – Rock & Roll Technique, added Dazzling Dimensionals with 2-Way Glue & adhered to the top of the flower with another SU Dimensionals. I addd 3 Basic Pearls down the middle.
I wrapped the Ribbon right around the card & tied a bow. I left the ends long on purpose.
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Great Friend, Baroque Mofits, Well Scripted
Ink – Bashful Blue, Marina Mist
Cardstock – Whisper White
Ribbon – Organza – Whisper White
Accessories – Bone Folder, Snail Glue, Flowers, Basic Pearls
Congratulations Bonnie on your 18th!!!!!!!
Until next time, Enjoy!

Engagment…

???????

This card has been created for a lovely couple who come every Friday to Crafty Creations.  They have been engaged for a couple of weeks now, but have only managed to make a card.  Mind you, I have a box of cards, but no, none of those would do.

Amber…

I am a little late in posng this card which was for my niece’s birthday last Wednesday.  I have kept it very easy with no layers.

I seem to be making a lot of no layer cards lately.
Base Card – Whisper White – 5 7/8″ x 4 1/4″ or 15cm x 10.5cm
I stamped the leaf image using Pear Pizzazz Ink randomly over the bottom part of the card.  Using Melon Mambo Ink and small flower image, I stamped off once, then stamped randomly onto the Whisper White Card Stock.  I repeated again, using Perfect Plum Ink.
Taking my Perfect Plum Marker, I drew a line around the top edge of the card, leaving a space to fit 3 Rhinestones.  I stamped the sentiment using Melon Mambo Ink.
I then adhered small Rhinestones to the centres of the flowers.

Again, a very basic card which took all of 5 minutes.

Supplies –
Stamp Set – Priceless, Well Scripted, Embrace Life
Ink – Melon Mambo, Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz
Cardstock – Whisper White
Accessories – Rhinestones, Perfect Plum Marker
Non-SU – Purple Rhinestones

Until next time, Enjoy!

Dani…

This week sees my neices 24th birthday!  So young!

Dannielle loves red & green, so I thought I would add just a touch of red & leave the remainder of the card black.  I did know that I just wanted to create a CAS card – Clean & Simple, my favourite!  What better way to do this type of card than to use “Pocket Silhouettes” – great stamp set!

Base Card – Whisper White – 5 7/8″ x  4 1/4″ or 15cm x 10.5cm

I stamped the images from Pocket Silhouettes using Basic Black Ink.  Using my Real Red Ink, I randomly stamped images over the Basic Black.

I then grabbed my Black Marker & drew a line around the edge of the card, leaving a space so that I could adhere 3 Rhinestones.  I stamped the sentiment in Basic Black Ink.

I coloured the Rhinestones with my Real Red Marker & adhered them to my card.  I applied a little Crystal Effects over the top of each so that the colour would set.

A very basic card which took all of 5 minutes – once I knew what I wanted to do.

Supplies –
Stamp Set – Pocket Silhouettes, Well Scripted
Ink – Basic Black, Real Red
Cardstock – Whisper White
Accessories – Basic Black Marker, Real Red Marker, Tombow Glue, Rhinestones

Check back tomorrow arvo when I will post the card I am making for Amber.

Until then, Enjoy!
