Just For You Card




Today's card was designed to brighten up my mood since its been snowing outside for days, we couldn't get out of the house and I was starting to suffer from Cabin Fever!!! 

I started out with an A6 card in Tempting Turquoise. As I didn't have the Stampin Up Basket Weave Embossing Folder I decided to make my own. I cut 1/2" strips of whisper white card and weaved them together. When I'd finished I trimmed the piece down to 3 5/8" x 5". I used my Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set together with the Berry Burst, Pool Part, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie ink pads to stamp the flowers and cut them out with the matching framelits, Bouquet Bunch. I cut the stems for the flowers with Old Olive card stock. For the sentiment I used the Watercolor Wings Stamp Set and cut that out with the smallest oval of my stitched shaped framelits.

Have A Beautiful Birthday



Card for today is a sweet little birthday card that I cased from Kate Morgan on Pinterest. I made this and a few others when I was off work for two days due to the HORRENDOUS snow we had in Scotland! 

Anyway on with the card. I quite like making my own backgrounds for my cards using stamp sets, especially the Beautiful Bouquet by Stampin Up. It's such a versatile set and seems to be my 'go to' one at the moment. In fact my last few cards have all used some element from this set. I'll list the dimensions down below for anyone who would like to try it for themselves.
