Masculine Monday with a Better Together Fiesta!

Today's card uses two stamp sets - Fiesta and Better Together - and the Festive Birthday paper.  Its a fun colourful card, I got the inspiration from a card I saw on Facebook, but changed up the sentiment set and added the llama!  I hope you think it's as fun as I do!

Simple Sunday with Gift of Love

A nice simple one layer card this week.  I have used one of the hostess stamp sets - Gift of Love - which you can get this with the rewards you can start to earn when you spend over £150 in one order in my online store.

It is a layering stamp set, so you can either stamp the outline and colour in with markers/inks or as I have done here, stamp the outline and then the coloured layers.  I did then add a bit of depth of the flowers using a marker to add some shadows, and a very pale outline of blue around parts of the image.   I then stamped a sentiment from the same set - and there you are, all done!

Stampin' Up! Materials Used:
Stamp set - Gift of Love (hostess set)
Ink Pads - Soft Suede, Old Olive, Peekaboo Peach
Markers - Peekaboo Peach, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Sky
Card - Whisper White thick card
Other - Stampin' Trimmer

Stampin Saturday with Picture Perfect

For this week's Stampin Saturday Card I have used one of my favourite sets, Picture Perfect.  A few days ago I stamped and cut out several of these blue roses along with some leaves, but struggled to decide what to make with them as what I originally had in mind didn't really seem to work.

So I set about making a layered card with the roses glued flat on the card, then the white layer raised up with foam tape.

Stampin' Up! Materials Used:
Stamp sets - Picture Perfect, Better Together
Ink pads - Soft Sky, Dapper Denim, Soft Suede, Old Olive
Card - Whisper White, Whisper White thick card
Other - fine tip glue, foam adhesive strips, Stampin' trimmer
