A Trio Tag Topper Card featuring Watercolour Wonder DSP

Last week I posted two different trio tag topper cards which featured stamped images.  This week I have another card to show you, but this one features DSP (Designer Series Paper).

This card was inspired by some wonderful creations I had seen by Kathryn Tyrrell in which she used this lovely Watercolour Wonder DSP 
 

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Label Love, Petitie Petals, Flower Shop

Ink: Island Indigo
Cardstock: Island Indigo, Gumball Green, Whisper White 
Punches: Scalloped Tag Topper, Artisan Punch, Pansy Punch, Petite Petals Punch
Other: Gumball Green Satin Stitched Ribbon, Linen Thread, Rhinestones Basic Jewels, Dimensionals, Tombow
(Edited: I originally had the colour Midnight Muse listed here, but I have since realised that I actually used Island Indigo card and ink to match the Watercolour Wonder DSP)

I am going to miss the 2012-2014 In Colours.  Gumball Green is one of the colours from this colour range that I have used on today's card.  Remember that if you like to use these colours too, make sure buy the ink pads now and stock up on ink refills, card and co-ordinating accessories like ribbon etc. before they sell out.  The 2012-2014 In Colour Designer Series Paper Stack is one of the weekly deal items this week.  It is usually $45.95 and is now only $34.56. Available at this reduced price until 20th May.

Have a great day.

Mother's Day Cards

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers out there for yesterday.  I hope you had a lovely day.  I was very fortunate to receive some lovely homemade cards from my children and husband.

My nine year old son made the card on the left.  He drew his own picture on his card.  My seven year old daughter made the stamped card with the red flowers at my Kids' Holiday card class and she kept it for me for Mother's Day.  My three year old daughter came home from church yesterday after making the card with the hearts on it. The final card is from my husband.  The other night he asked if I could show him how to make a card, so he had his first card making session with me.  He did very well.  The card he made he kindly gave to me for Mother's Day.  

I also received one other card from my children which was a card with a lovely photo of the the three of them with a heart in the background.  The wonderful Kids Church leaders at our church took family photos of all the children the week before so they could print them off ready to make cards to give to all the Mother's for Mother's Day.  It was a lovely surprise.

Flower Shop Mother's Day Card

Yesterday my church Mum's coffee group got together for a catch up and to learn some fun things for "Keeping House".  One of the things I got to watch and learn was how to make some jam which required no cooking and was sugar free.  You can add a little honey or something sweet if you like, but it doesn't have cupfuls of sugar!  All that was in it was fruit, chia seeds, and honey/maple syrup (optional).

During the morning, the ladies also had the chance to make a Mother's Day card with me.  Most of them were new to card making so I kept it simple.  They each embossed a piece of card for the background using the Big Shot. The ladies always enjoy using the Big Shot and are impressed with the textured card that comes out.  They stamped some flowers and used the co-ordinating punch to cut out the flowers. The co-ordinating punch makes card making nice and easy.  The pearls or rhinestones finished off the flowers nicely.

Here are a couple of cards I made as samples for them to work from.  I also stamped envelopes.  One of the cards is for Mother's Day and the other is stamped with "Just for you" so it can be used for any occasion.

 Here is a close up of each card.
 

  
Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Flower Shop, Teeny Tiny Sentiments,
Ink: Primrose Petats, Elegant Eggplant
Card: Whisper White, Pool Party Core-dinationas, Primrose Petals Core-dinations
Punches: Pansy Punch, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch,
Other: Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes, Big Shot, Pretty Prints Embossing Flower, Petals-a-plenty Embossing Flower, Pearls and Rhinestons, Tombow, Dimensionals
 
I hope you enjoy your weekend and for all the Mum's out there, I hope you have a wonderful day on Sunday.

Stars and Dots

Here is a fairly quick and simple card that I made for a boy's birthday.  I love the Simply Stars stamp set as it is a great stamp set for masculine cards.

For this card I stamped the stars on Very Vanilla cardstock and then embossed it with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder to give it some texture.  I then matted it onto Baked Brown Sugar cardstock and then adhered it onto the card base which is Midnight Muse.  I also matted the Happy Birthday greeting to help it stand out.

Simple Stems Note Cards

Today's card features the Simple Stems stamp set, some colour coordinating ribbon and Stampin' Up Note Cards.

Stampin' Up Note Cards  are a great way to create cards.  They are slightly smaller than a standard C6 size card and come with envelopes.  This design was inspired by a card Jacque Williams sent me.  She is my upline's upline and team leader of Creative Inkers.  It is so nice to receive cards from fellow demos, have the support of my upline, as well as Jacque who oversees the larger team.

Jacque's card to me featured other stamp set, but I liked the way she used the ribbon on the card and embossed the background to add to the main stamped image.  I like the way this Simply Stem stamp set allows for two step stamping which makes it easy to use two different colours.  

After I had stamped the flower and matted it onto some coloured card I felt the square was wider than it needed to be and it should have been more of a rectangle shape.  I felt it looked it a bit empty on each side of the flower. I decided to add some Rhinestones on each side and I was pleased with the results. 

If you would like to purchase some Note Cards or other products, you can order direct through me or through the online store by selecting me as your demonstrator.
