Thanks A Bunch

I hope to upload a few cards that have been made over the last 12 months or so and provide lists of supplies you may find helpful in your own card projects.

The first of these is a thank you card made from Kraft Cardstock, I recycled the kraft
card from packing on supplies from my employer. Yes, I have a day job so I do find it difficult to keep up with my posts.


Thanks A Bunch

The lettering on the base is stamped with Versamark and clear embossed.

The vase was die cut using
Elizabeth craft designs Asian Vase No.741 die.
This is 2 piece die set.

The flowers look really dimensional and effective.
I used Papertrey Ink Bloom Builders PTD-0164 - 5 sizes of petals set.

The leaves are cut from Cheery Lyn  Designs die B117 - Fanciful Flourish. I believe the cardstock is a Basic Grey Design, I had in my stash. 

The 'thanks A BUNCH' stamp and 'Mini Classy Labels' die are both from VERVE.
The stamp is from a set called 'Joyful Blooms' VS-0168 Set of 13.
The label is a 2 piece set - VSDC-037.

I have use Walnut Distress Ink to tone the card and label edges.

I hope this card gives you inspiration to make these beautiful blooms for a project or two. Enjoy!

A Very Special Wedding Card for
A Very Special Couple -

My Son Andrew &
New Daughter In Law Rebecca

I selected a large 'Geographics' Australia Linen textured envelope #04902-Cream-Beige size is 9" x  6.375" approx, first and then cut my card base from Kaisercraft Cardstock in Ivory (CD602) to fit - then used Stampin Up Cardstock in Perfect Plum for the next layer.

The Striped Background was a sheet from COLORBOK-67694 Parsian Sky-12 inch Pack.

Using mostly Magnolia Stamps,  Tilda & Edwin as Wedding Couple,   Wishing Two

People Sentiment (Wedding Collection 2010)  & 

Love Script Heart Shaped Stamp(Love Collection 2009).  

A Hero Arts Stamp K5326 Heart Lace was used on the Ivory Cardstock using a Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad and The Creative Stamp Collection Embossing Powder "Lavender" and then cut out by hand.

The images are coloured with Distress Inks -Tattered Rose for Skin, Black Soot for Suit & Shoes & Cane and Seedless Preserves for Tie & Flowers.

A Magnolia Heart 7" Strip Die is used to edge the left side and the couple are mounted on the largest Spellbinders Heart Circles Die from S4-316 - The 2 Perfect Plum hearts were die cut from the 2nd largest die in the Classic Heart Set S4-136. 

The small heart punch outs from the strip die have been mounted along the right side.

Trimmed with matching organza 1/4" ribbon and 3mm cream satin ribbon used to tie

My New Web Store

It has been a while, however I do have more cards to upload.

I have been very busy working on my new web store

 www.scrapbookingandkeepsakes.com.au 

now live from 10th September 2012.

 

Most of the items I use for my cards are now available to purchase from my webstore, (only for Australian Residents at the present time).

This was my mother's birthday card for May 2012 and each year it falls in line with mothers day.

The paper was taken from Prima A4 Paper Stack -       Nature Garden

Labels were cut from brown cardstock using MFT Dienamics Vintage Cameo Frame and pink cardstock using label die from Quickutz Wildflower set.

So here is the card I made her for Mothers' Day.

Both were Made using Kraft cardstock. The large flowers are from Manor House Creations and the tiny pink rosebuds & bling are Kaisercraft.

The patterned cardstock is  

Echo Park - This & That Graceful - Flower Vine which is doublesided and I have used each side.

Both sections of the label are Stampin Up punches. Underneath the flowers is a brown cardstock doiley punched from Memory Box Marietta Buckle # 98220.

As with most of my projects  I use Walnut Stain distress ink sponged on the edges.

This is a very beautiful card for an 80th Birthday, I made this for a friend after the brief stated pink and whatever I choose.

I have used Christina Rea brown card stock for the base of card 8.5 x 8.25 inches folded in half on the 8.25 side. Then cut a piece of Stampin Up Very Vanilla 3.75 x 8.25 inches and added the sentiment to the exact centre. Again even with the bulkiness of the flowers it will fit into a DL envelope snuggly.

I have then used 2 pieces of pink cardstock at 3.875 x 2.5 inches and run through my Cuttlebug using the cut & emboss folder from Cuttlebug # 2000255 Chic Circle Frame.

Then Distress Ink with Walnut Stain the edges of pink & vanilla and over the front of pink cut outs very gently. The card has been assembled using the Memory Box Style No 808 Small Tilda Swirl cut from brown cardstock in a darker shade than the base underneath the burgandy flowers. The 80 numbers were cut using Sizzix Shadow Box.

This picture does the card an injustice and in reality everybody really admired it. 

The Wishing you a Wonderful Birthday is from Stamp-it Australia called Wishing Birthday #4643D it is a beautiful stamp which I use on many of my cards. Enjoy!
