More 18th Birthday Cards

After I finished my 18th Z-Fold cards I had some left over numbers so I decided to use them up right away before I cleaned up my desk! And I had two new stamps set that I wanted to ink up so these cards were born!

To start with I made my own printed background. I take an A4 sized piece of whisper white cardstock and randomly stamp my images all over the page. Then I can cut up the piece and add to a card base. This flower is from a set called Penned & Painted – it’s a 3 step set which means you stamp the layers over the top of each other to get the watercolour/waterwash effect.

The Birthday banner comes from a Hostess stamp set called Time of the Year and was cut out with the Bunch of Banners framelits. Quick, simple and yet effective – Love it! It’s so easy to change up the colours, the sentiment, the numbers etc. It’s my go-to design when I need to mass produce cards in a hurry!

18th Birthday Cards for Twins! 

Another customer order done! This time two 18th birthday cards for a customer’s twin grand-daughters.
The brief was for ‘something a bit special, similar but different’
I had the Jar of Love stamp set and matching dies in mind and we used the both  in this month’s class so they were still on my desk, begging to be used some more. And why not? This is a fantastically versatile set which has got a lot of love by me already.
To make some thing a bit special I decided to make a Z-fold card. It’s super simple, just a few folds but it really has that wow factor. The idea came from a Canadian demonstrator – Sandi MacIver. See her card here – http://stampinwithsandi.com/stampin-up-jar-of-love-double-z-card/
The first card I used Flirty Flamingo as the base and main colour in the flowers. The second one I made the same, just changed the colours, this time using Sweet Sugarplum.
Are you in need of a handmade card for a special someone? I’m always happy to make cards for any occasion, please just get in contact with me.
Or why not try making this z fold style card yourself?

More Coach Thank you gifts

coachIt’s that time of the year when I needed to make cards for my girls’ basketball coaches. Their team colours are orange and black. Orange isn’t a colour I work with much at all so I had to become a bit resourceful. I should have placed an order for the Orange Glimmer paper in the new Holiday Catalogue (have you seen the catalogue? It’s truly amazing!) but I didn’t think about it in time. Oh well, I have ordered it now and I am now super organised for next season! AND I am looking at all the Halloween papers and accessories in a totally different way!

Both my girls have had male coaches this year which is why I kept the cards and gifts simple. I have used an older designer series paper pack (DSP) as the background for the card as it had a touch of orange. The alphabet stamp set is called Layered Letters Alphabet and the thank you sentiment comes from One Big Meaning.

nigels-giftThe wine bottle was decorated with Peekaboo Peach ribbon, retired black ribbon and a retired stamp set called Good Sport.An oldie but a definite keeper!! I hung the basketballs from a piece of gold cord using stampin’ dimensionals – small foam dots. Tucked in with the bottle is a gift card.

Tangos bag.jpgFor each girl I have decorated a small paper bag with their singlet number. Inside is their medal and some chocolates. Again simple but I think they look fun!

I hope they like them!
