Another 5th Avenue Floral Card

Have I mentioned that I love this set? I really like how you can create your own designer paper with any of the flowers and it looks great. I just stamped the large flower randomly on the Sahara Sand cardstock with Sahara Sand ink. I also used two of the new 5/16 Neutral Brads. I am really loving these, I just need to remember to actually use them instead of collecting them, like I tend to do when it comes to new product. I think this card has to be one of my favourites that I have made in a while. Hope you like it too.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral
Ink: Baja Breeze, Sahara Sand
Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Accessories: Paper Piercer, Chocolate Taffetta Ribbon, White 5/16 Brads, Stampin' Dimensionals

March Thank You Cards

These were the thank you cards I made for anyone who placed an order with me in March. I just love the set Fifth Avenue Floral. As soon as I saw it in the current catalogue, I had to get it right away. I love putting Chocolate Chip and any pink together, so when I saw this card on SCS by tessa, I just had to case it. However I needed to do a thank you card for a guy as well this month, and I really couldn't send him the pink card I had to come up with another colour combo. I started with the ribbon colour first which is Certainly Celery and then picked the Always Artichoke from there. I love the way these cards turned out.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, Sincere Salutations
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Always Artichoke, Whisper White
Accessories: Corner Rounder, Chocolate Chip Wide Grosgrain Ribbon, Certainly Celery Wide Grosgrain Ribbon

A Little Birdie Told Me Class

A few weeks ago I held a class based on the stamp set 'A Little Birdie Told Me'. I just love this set, it is so versitile for so many occasions. I had eight people in attendance, it was my largest group to date for a class and a little challenging but I had lots of fun and enjoyed meeting a bunch of new people.

Happy Birthday Dad!

My father-in-law loves trains. He even has a garden railroad in his backyard. As soon as I saw the set Happiness is a Journey when it came out in the catalogue last August I knew I had to get it to make cards for him. However it did take me six months of having this set in my hands to actually make a card for him. His birthday was in February and I knew what set I was definitely going to use. This is the card I gave to him. He loved it.

Watercolor Class

I can't believe it has been a month since I last posted so much for my goal of posting at least once every couple of weeks. I have been really busy over the last month making lots of cards, so I do have stuff to show you, I just need to make the time to actually sit down and get them posted. At the beginning of this month I held a class on Watercolouring with Blender Pens. It was so much fun. These are the cards we created:

Hubby's Valentine's Card

I was surfing some other stamping blogs a little while ago and I came across one by Dawn Griffith, I saw so many great ideas on her site. I now check it daily. Anyways, she had done a card using a 3x3 envelope for the inside. I really liked this idea and decided to try to make one myself. I made this card for my husband for valentine's day. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. There is a little 3x3 note card inside the envelope that you can slide out to write your message on.
