My favourite colours!

Not the greatest photo but I just love these colours, I have used Versamark for all of the flowers and it is such a simple card - I love the quotes from the Simply Said set of stamps they are really sweet!

I will have to take some more photos, I have made loads of cards recently and keep forgetting to take pictures while there is daylight. I have seen some really great ideas on SCS that I just have to try!

thanks for looking, Deborah x

sliding pop-up card

I love these sliding cards - they are really interesting but are flat to post! - I saw a tutorial on SCS. I used Bashful Blue cardstock and whisper white with the Noteworthy stamp set.

I used Versamark ink - for the background this just gave a nice watermark effect, for the other stamps I used it with the Stampin Pastels to give a really nice colourful effect.

Thanks for looking x

I made this card for my mother in law and I have used the Certainly celery designer paper with Barely banana, the flowers and stamp are from the Three for you set (which is still on offer this month!) for the flowers I used Pretty in Pink, Cameo coral Barely Banana and So Saffron, I used Choc Chip ink to sponge the Edges. I have to say after my error in purchasing the Celery paper I am growing to love it!

- Another Simply Said card! but I really like this fold, simple but effective - I have made a few cards with my new stamp sets, the hostess set Garden Silhouettes, and Circle of Friendship - part of the Escape bundle available this month. I also got lots of new ink pads and papers, very exciting - I accidentaly ordered Celery designer paper instead of Close to Cocoa, oh well I will have to learn to love green! have a great weekend, thanks for looking!

post it note holder with pen

This is a post it note holder I made after seeing one in youtube! I thought it was sooo cute, and I had some tiny gel pens which were just the right size. I used my Simply Said stamp set with Whisper white, Bashful blue, and Lavender Lace cardstock - I think the ink was Bashful blue as well - but I can't remember now!

I have made a few of these now - nice for a gift, the others are pink! I will have to get back to making things in my favourite colours now my order has arrived - I love purple, any purple! even my wedding dress was purple!

thanks for looking!

Simply Said

This is a 3x3 cards and a matching box which fits 3 cards and envelopes. I demoed the box and the card at my last party and they really liked it - using the wheel is great to cover a background quickly! I used the Simply said stampset - my favourite at the moment, - I love making cards this size and now I have a great excuse with the Escape offer this month!

blue slider card

I made this slider card in a larger size as I love the flowers in the Year after Year set but haven't really used them - and I was trying to steer away from using pink all the time! - well I am off as I have visitors from Australia!
