A Handful of Cards to Begin with!

I thought I'd start off with a few easy cards, just to get back into the swing of things.

A tiny 3"x3" Card, using some co-ordinating coloured flowers from my stash :)

A 3"x3" Notelet. Very cute, and I must make more when I get time!!

I thought I'd make another flower card, but with a little difference. You can't see the dry embossing I've done on this photo, and the card is a long way off being finished, but I thought I'd post anyway :)

Using some ribbon scraps, punches and a little ink and buttons, here is a quick card which I loved making! So cute too.

One of my favourites for the evening I think. Candles and flames are 3D, as is the sentiment. DPs from SU! Sweet Pea and PM The Big One.

4"x4" Kraft card, 3/4" punched DP - Lime Rickey. Have left this un-embellished and with no sentiment, so it can be used as an all-occassion card

To finish off the evening I quickly put this one together. Lavender Grosgrain ribbon, SU! Buterfly punch, Woodware button, DP Amethyst Infusions. Thank you sentiment in SU! Basic Grey from Perfectly Clear Garden Box set.

Stampers 6 Meeting - May

Woohoo! We're a full group of 6 now! Tonight, for the first time, I made it to Lisa's early!! Normally I'm 10minutes late (due to my childrens' bedtime routine!!)

I took my friend, Sarah, with me as the 6th member, and she enjoyed it thoroughly too!

Here are the two cards we made tonight - Each meeting, we all edit or adjust our cards to suits our owns needs, tastes and requirements. It's really nice to see how different everybody's cards turn out :)

Here are mine...

I very much like them both, and must do more similar ones soon!!

Elsbeth’s Card

Garry’s cousin, Elsbeth, is nine on 21st March, so I have made her a cute little card with Stampin’ Up!’s Butterfly Punch and coordinating stamp set “Flight of the Butterfly”.

The butterfly is punched from white cardstock, stamped with Stampin’ Up! Apricot Appeal ink, then stamped again with the floral butterfly in Pixie Pink ink by Stampin’ Up!. Even though I haven’t stood it up for the photo, it is intended to be 3D.
The aperture was cut with a 1-3/8” Circle punch (SU!) and the pink card was cut with the same punch but then punched again with the slightly bigger SU!’s Scallop Circle punch.
The small flowers are also in the Flight of the Butterfly set, as is the butterfly on the inside.
I love the sentiment, although the black is a little harsh and I wish I had a grey ink perhaps?!

I even decorated the envelope!!

 

I couldn’t stop there for the night though. I had to make another sweet birthday card. It isn’t intended for anybody in particular, but will just be added to the “reserve” pile!!
