Wow, where does the time go, it doesn't seem 5 minutes since I last posted.  I really need to keep on my toes...lol.  Well as you may have gathered its been a busy time for me lately especially at work so I've been coming home and just flaking out.  On top of that I've had cards to make and swaps to do so its a good job I love crafting and especially with SU products, to me there are no other products to work with :)

So, last month it was my sister's wedding anniversary and I had to do 2 cards, one from us and one from my mum.  Not only was it their wedding anniversary but it was also my brother in laws birthday as well, I'll show you that card another day.

So the  first \i made was for mum.  At the last training day with Jules we were given in our pack the Paper Daisies.  It was nice as I didn't have these so I thought I'd use them for this occasion.  The colour combination is Lucky Limeade, Whisper White and Real Red.  I inked around the the edge of the daisies to soften them on the card.  The background was stamped in Lucky Limeade using Bordering on Romance which is available from the Summer mini that is only available until the end of August and we cannot guarantee it being in the new catalogue so if you like it then don't be disappointed and order it today.

Now the shape of the top layer was made using the  Edgelits Dies and Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, again available in the Summer mini only until the end of August.  Other elements also used on this card are, Lucky Limeade ribbon, Modern Label and the sentiment is from the stamp set Just Believe.  As you can see I've used the small Silver brads to attach the sentiment and an Antique Brad for the centre of the flower, I just lovvveeee these brads, don't you?

I'll be back soon to post the second card but for now I'll just say, if you want anything just get in touch.  For those of you who are eagle eyed you'll have spotted I've got a different e-mail addy so, if you've got my old one just change it and send me a order ...lol

Take care everyone

Sweet Cake

Oh dear what has happened to the lovely weather we were experiencing not so long ago?   I think I jinxed it by buying a new chair for the garden  so I could get a bit of a tan before I go to Vienna in 12 days.  I don't think that's going to happen now !!!!!!

Anyway, on to today's card.  Its my niece's birthday today and I have had the card ready to post for several days but dare not  in case she saw it on here via facebook, hence the delay in posting.  I have used the new stamp set from the mini call Sweet Cake.  I will be honest and wasn't that impressed with it when I first saw it but having seen some of the end products at various training sessions I soon changed my mind.

The card I used is from the 2012 - 2013 in colour collection, Calypso Coral and Pool Party with Very Vanilla. From the mini catalogue I have use the Edgelits Adorning Accents to create the shape down the side and then the Textured Impression Embossing folder that matches the Edgelits to create the embossed shape.  To emphasise the cut out section I layered the inside of the card with some of beautiful designer paper from the mini and that is Twitterpatted.

The layers on the top of the card are Twitterpated and Calypso Coral card which has been embossed with the heart folder again from the Textured Embossing folder. The main image was stamped onto Very Vanilla in Calypso Coral and then cut out using the Framelits Label Colletction.. Although it doesn't stand out so well I have glittered the Calypso Coral stripes on the image.  I haven't taken a photo by on the inside I have put a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the sentiment "Happiest wishes on your birthday" from the Hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes in Pool Party Ink.  The sentiment on the front of the card is from the Sweet Cake set.

All products used will be listed below and if you wish to purchase any of the just drop me a line or give me a call/text and I'll happily order them for you.
