A Beautiful Thing # 3

This is the third card we made at my 'A Beautiful Thing' this past weekend. This card was cased from Elaine Scader, to see her card click here. I changed the colours. Right now one of my favourite colours is Baja Breeze and I just the way this card turned out. It is so easy to create backgrounds with Stampin' Up!'s wheels.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: A Beautiful Thing, It's Beautiful Wheel
Ink: Baja Breeze, Black StazOn
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Basic Black, Very Vanilla

A Beautiful Thing # 2

This the second card we made at my 'A Beautiful Thing' class on the weekend. This is one of my favourite cards out of them all. I just love how well the Pink Pirouette goes with the Riding Hood Red. Who would have ever thought you could put these two colours together. I think the only reason this card works is because of the Kiwi Kiss. Because we ran out of time in the class we skipped the stamping of the little circles above and below the main image, but the cards turned out great without it.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: A Beautiful Thing
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon, Large Oval Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig

Beautiful Thing Class

Yesterday afternoon I had a class using based around the stamp set 'A Beautiful Thing'. This week I will be sharing the cards we made at this class.

Trying to get the little flowers right inside the bigger flowers on the bottom of the card, even with the Stamp-a-ma-jig it was difficult.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: A Beautiful Thing
Ink: Apricot Appeal, Mellow Moss
Cardstock: Apricot Appeal, Mellow Moss, Whisper White
Accessories: Apricot Appeal Grosgrain Ribbon, Trio Flower Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, Soft Subtles Brads

Another Christmas Card

Here is another Christmas card I made last year. I love this card and I made a whole bunch of them in different colour schemes, but I can't find any pictures of the other cards. Maybe I will just have to make this card again sometime. I love this little snowman, he seemed to be my go to stamp for Christmas last year I used him on almost every card. Now that he is a retired stamp I guess I will need to find another stamp for this coming Christmas. But as I said earlier this week, it is way too early to start thinking about Christmas cards.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: Merry & Bright, Snow Wheel
Ink: Certainly Celery, Black StazOn, Certainly Celergy Marker, Chocolate Chip Marker
Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White

2nd Birdie Card

I posted a card very similar to this a couple days ago and thought I would show you this card that has just a slight change on the birdies. I had made this card previously with the paper piecing technique and while I was preparing for my masking class this one was sitting on my desk and I thought it would be perfect to change up and use it to teach the masking technique. I used Washington Apple DS paper for the paper piecing on the birds.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: A Little Birdie Told Me
Ink: Black StazOn
Cardstock: So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Washington Apple DS
Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, White Gel Pen, Bashful Blue Narrow Grosgrain Ribbon, So Saffron Button, Linen Thread, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals, 2-Way Glue Pen

Christmas???

I have been cleaning out some of my computer files and found some pictures of Christmas cards I did this year but never shared on my blog. So even though Christmas was months ago and trust me I am in no rush for it to come around again but I thought I would share them with you anyways. I will be sharing these cards over the next few days.

This card was inspired by Emily Weems her card can be seen here. I did the acetate card first and then did another in real red. I really like them both.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: Crazy for Christmas
Ink: Black StazOn, Old Olive, Markers
Cardstock: Real Red, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Summer Picnic DS
Accessories: White Narrow Grosgrain Ribbon, Acetate, Glue Dots
