Girls Birthday Card

I fancied making a bright card, suitable for a young lady who will be celebrating her birthday today.

I decided to stamp flowers from the Hobby Arts Ltd, stamp set called "Abstract Flowers", stamped in a raspberry shade of Adirondack Ink.  I then coloured the flowers with a yellow Promarker.

I stamped the Apple Blossom Banner sentiment in the same Raspberry coloured ink and die cut it using the Apple Blossom die.

Silver Anniversary Card

I made this card to celebrate the silver wedding anniversary of our friends.

I used an Apple Blossom "That Folder" embossing folder on black cardstock.  I used a Versamark ink pad on an Apple Blossom "Wavy Sentiment" stamp and then heat embossed using Papermania "Superfine Silver" embossing powder.

Using a die, I cut the bow with hearts in a silver glitter paper.  I finished the card, by adding some self adhesive silver coloured gems.

Here's a close up in case the embossed background can't be seen in the larger image.

Apple Blossom Thinking Of You Embossed Card

I fancied doing a white on white card today, ending up creating this "Thinking Of You" Card.

I started off using the Big Shot and the Apple Blossom "That Folder" to emboss the background. Using the Apple Blossom "Banners & Blooms" die set, I cut the banner. Using the co-ordinating Apple Blossom "Wavy Sentiment" stamp set, I stamped the "Thinking Of You" greeting and stuck the banner in to position.

Using Stampin' Up "Botanical Builder Framelits" dies I cut assorted flowers and foliage.  Using another Stampin' Up set, "Pretty Pine Thinlits" I cut some fir tree foliage.  I then assembled and glued the flowers and foliage into position.  Finally, I added some self adhesive pearl gem stones to finish the card.
