Stampin' Up! Triple Point Birthday Card with Expressions In Ink DSP x 2

I was asked by a family friend to make a 50th birthday card earlier this month. I decided to make a triple point card because they look pretty wow and since I was making one, I thought I'd make another at the same time! When I was making them, in my head I had what I thought would be my favourite from them beginning but when I had finished both cards, I was surprised and I had changed my mind at what was my favourite. 
Please note, they both use retired dies (numbers 50 and Happy Birthday) and gold glitter paper but all other products used are current. 

Which one do you like best? The 50th card or the Happy Birthday card?


Close up - I love the texture of the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder on this card


Happy birthday card


Close up - I like that the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder (which is advertised in the July - December [Holiday] catalogue) looks fabulous with the Happy Birthday die cut

Stampin' Up! Cardstock No Stampin' Beer Mug Birthday Card

My husband asked me to make a birthday card for a work colleague recently and it is what I am featuring for this weeks Masculine Monday card.
The request was for a card with beer on it. It's a no stamping birthday card and most unusual for me. I used my electric die cutting machine to cut out the beer mug and my computer for the sentiment inside the card.


Inside the card -  the verse I used is very fitting for hubby to write in (as hubby is full of Dad jokes!)

With Valentine's Day here tomorrow, it reminded me I hadn't posted this custom order heart shaped engagement card. I was provided with the message for inside and other than a pink heart shaped card, it was up to me for the rest of the design.

Personalised Wedding Card

Today's card uses a mix of Stampin' Up! products with my Silhouette Cameo machine to create a personalised wedding card. 
I cut a fine detailed design on my Silhouette for the black background floral panel and used Stampin' Up! products for the rest of the card. 


Close up
The black vinyl cut out very cleanly, and looks stunning with the black/white/gold combination don't you think?


The word Fahran was a customer's request on the front of the wedding card. If you would like your own custom order card made, e-mail me with your request.

Stampin' Up! Personalised Baby Card featuring Lined Alphabet Bundle

I adore making personalised gifts and when I had a request from my sister to make a baby card for her best friend’s new little bundle Henley, I had to give the Lined Alphabet Bundle a spin. I choose nice and playful colours for the letters that were fun but yet still soft but certainly not boring! 

Doesn't it make the sweetest baby card? It would make a card for any age to be honest! The fact that you can spell any word is the best! I love not running out of any letter stickers etc. when using my big shot for titles or letters etc.

Try it Thursday #22 - Stampin' Up! May Blessings Rain Down on You Card

I was asked to make a custom order card (very similar to the one pictured below at the end of this blog post) and this is what I came up with using my Stampin' Up! stash. 


I used a piece of vellum cardstock to tone down the designer series paper (from garden impressions designer series paper) and it allowed me to use a permanent marker to write my message using Ballada duo font. (I printed my message out on scrap paper and traced over it on the vellum as my handwriting is not that pretty!)

The vellum is held in place with tear and tape hidden behind the cloud and sun and the hand stitching in the bottom half of the card holds the remaining portion of the vellum down.


How do you think I did making a card similar to the inspiration image?

Try it Thursday #20 - Stampin' Up! Shoes & Shopping Birthday Card

I was recently asked to make a birthday card for someone who loves shopping and shoes and to incorporate the words "oh shit" on it (as she apparently uses those words a lot. After being stumped (I think it was the wording) I turned to the internet for inspiration and found an image that heavily inspired my own creation (including the colours) but sadly I can no longer find the original source to link to (inspiration image is shown further below).


You will notice I didn't use the words on the outside of the card as I couldn't bring myself to ruin a pretty creation with the wording. I hid the wording inside the card with the rest of the greeting (which I did not photograph).
