A Beautiful Thing # 4

Another card we did at my 'A Beautiful Thing'. This card was inspired by Laura Fredrickson. I just love the simplicity of this card. You can't tell from the picture but the two right hand corners of the Rose Red cardstock are pierced using the mat pack. I think it just finishes off the card nicely.

Supplies Used:
(All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: A Beautiful Thing
Ink: Black StazOn, Brocade Blue, Versamark
Cardstock: Brocade Blue, Rose Red, Certainly Celery
Accessories: Brocade Blue Wide Grosgrain Ribbon, Brocade Blue Ribbon, Mat Pack, Stampin' Dimensionals

Happy Birthday Megan!

Today I would like to send birthday wishes out to a member of my stamp group and a regular follower of my blog. Happy Birthday Megan! I hope you have an awesome day.

This is the card that I made for her. I just love this polka dot paper from the Urban Oasis Designer Paper, this has to be at least the second birthday card I have used this paper for. I just love it. I watercoloured the cupcake with a aqua painter and watercolour paper. You can't tell in the picture but I also added Dazzling Diamonds to the cupcake. I used the Basic Gray marker to add the lines around the image. I love how something so simple can add so much to a card. To those who know me of course I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the cupcake off the card. I love Stampin' Dimensionals, every time I order I get at least one pack. You can never have too many! Anyways, on to the card.

Again have a great day Megan!

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:

Stamps: A Beautiful Thing, It's Beautiful Wheel

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.

Ink: Apricot Appeal, Mellow Moss

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.
