Custom Order Engagement Card

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! Wedding Card featuring Come Sail Away DSP

My daughter has a wedding to go to recently and I volunteered to make her a card. Knowing the bride was wearing a pink dress I tried to work that into the card along with a few other details. Here's what I came up with:


I thought the pink dress looked a bit plain on it's own so I added textured with the country floral 3D embossing folder and petal pink inkpad and sponge dauber. I also loved using a sheet of designer series paper from what your would call a traditional masculine pack of designer series paper (come sail away) but it is a more subtle pattern and almost looks like wallpaper in the background. The come sail away designer series paper is one of the 10 packs of paper that are available on the buy 3, get 1 free DSP special this month. The special ends on September 30th. If you would like to grab some come sail away DSP and some others, shop now here.

Stampin' Up! Your The Best Thank You Card

I made a thank you card for the kids of my daughters acroabtics team to sign for their coach and as there was 22 of them signing it, I went with a reasonably large card. It is 56cm x 24cm card all up and fit into a 15cm x 25cm envelope when it was collapsed.

Stampin' Up! 30th birthday card using products from Joyous Noel Suite

I love it when you can use products for more than what they were originally intended for. Like the Joyous Noel Suite. It is designed for Christmas but if you don't focus on the Christmas images in the DSP for example, the paper can be used year round. I used some of the DSP on the 30th birthday card I have to share in today's post. Not to mention, I also used the glimmer paper that is from the same suite.

Stampin' Up! High Tide Retirement Card

I am sharing a card I made for my husbands work collage who recently retired at 72! I thought it was only fitting to share while I was away at On Stage in Orlando and have yet to return home to Melbourne. Speaking of On Stage, if you'd like to see some updates, drop by my Facebook business page for snippets of my day. 


I didn't have the right stamps (or enough time to individually stamp letters) so I cheated and printed a sentiment on my computer for the happy retirement sentiment onto the balmy blue cardstock. I used the water image from high tide stamp set in pacific point which helps make the water look realistic doesn't it? 

Inside the card, the verse reads: 

We're so sorry that you're leaving us,
but you've earned the right to take,
the time to put your feet up,
and enjoy a well-earned break!

Wishing you all the very best from all your friends & colleagues.

Stampin' Up! Floral Phrases Tropical Escape Engagement Card

With the beauty of scheduled posts, I still have regular posts coming to you on my blog while I am away in Orlando, Florida at Stampin' Up! On Stage Live.
Isn't the blushing bride designer series paper from the tropical escape designer series paper stack amazing? I really like it as a subtle background for this silhouette engagement card.

Stampin' Up! Dog Happy Birthday Card

My 11 year old daughter was invited to a puppy party recently. I tried my hardest to make a punch art card but ironically I had lent my mum a couple of crucial punches (for punch art) only days before). I settled on a sausage dog card with a long birthday sentiment featuring big shot merry christmas thinlets and large letter framelits.

Bella was happy with my dog attempt card so that was a bonus.

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).
