Baroque Motifs Wedding Card

I had the honour of attending a beautiful wedding last weekend, and this is the card I made for the lovely couple. The wedding colours were pink and silver, so those were the colours I chose for the card. I attached the scallop square vellum piece with two mini glue dots, which I then concealed with the rhinestones.

Fun Flowers Mother's Day Card

One of the great perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that every month I look forward to receiving a monthly demonstrator magazine in my mailbox. It is always full of the latest and greatest tips, samples and techniques. I was flipping through the latest issue the other day, hoping to get some inspiration for a Mother's Day card for my grandmother. I wanted something eye-catching and fairly bold, as I knew Grandma would have trouble seeing tiny details. When I saw a version of this card, I knew it was the one. I changed the original card by adding the baker's twine, a fun new product from the Summer Mini Catalogue. Haven't received your Summer Mini Catalogue yet? Contact me for a free copy.

Nature Walk Easter Basket

I made this basket last week for Easter using the gorgeous eggs image from the Nature Walk stamp set. This set is only available for one more day in the Occasions Mini Catalogue. It's not a set that I would define as my usual style, but I love the mix of images in it and have found it quite easy to use. I coloured the eggs with my Stampin' Write markers and glazed them with a layer of Crystal Effects. The basket itself is simply four scallop envelope die cuts adhered together.

A Slice of Life Teabag Holder

Happy Easter! I hope you are enjoying Easter weekend. It is a beautiful spring day here, and I can't wait to get outside to enjoy it.

I have a quick and cute teabag holder to share with you today. I cased it from Caroline Skinner, who has a great tutorial for it. As you can see I made two versions, one that closes like a card, and a more simple one. Both are equally adorable. The stamp sets I used, A Slice of Life and You're a Gem, are available in the Occasions Mini Catalog only until the end of April. I used the lovely seam binding ribbon in Very Vanilla and gathered the ends to create some ruffles.

A Slice of Life Sympathy Card

I've had this Hostess Set, A Slice of Life, for a while now, but only just gotten around to playing with it. It is a great set with simple images for colouring and paper piecing. This card measures 4-1/4 by 4-1/4. I coloured the flowers with my Baja Breeze marker and added a dot of Marina Mist in the centre of each flower. I stamped the vase on a scrap of designer paper, cut it out, and adhered it. The Pear Pizazz Seam Binding is so soft and easy to work with. A Slice of Life is available as a Hostess Level 1 set in the Occasions Mini Catalogue only until April 30.
