Happy Anniversary Card

I can't recall ever making an anniversary card before!  So to rectify this today's card is just that.

The background paper is from Stampin' Up! a now retired stack.  The centre heart is silver glimmer paper and the two by each side are actually Tip Top Taupe but look silver here!  The small hearts are silver foil paper, all from Stampin' Up!  A rhinestone has been added to the sentiment which has been raised on Dimentionals.

Hope you have a happy day today.  Take care of you.

Golden Wonder

Today's post is just delightful.  As you would have seen from yesterday's post I am making use of my new Die-namics Blueprints 15 die set.  I am loving it.  This set is just so versatile.

Sorry about the lighting, it was early evening and this picture doesn't do the cards any justice, I wish I had pulled out my light box now!

The card base is Whisper White and then Crumb Cake.  The inner die cut has been gold heat embossed using VersaMark and Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, one of my favourites for creating different effects.  This time I stamped several times up the card and flipped the stamp every time I stamped to create even more of a difference.

I also used gold foil paper and glimmer paper for the heart.  The sentiment was also gold heat embossed.  The sequin and all the products are otherwise Stampin' Up!

The inside has also been layered with mats for definition and gold sequin also added to embellish.  I love the gold foil envelope liner.  How wonderful would it be to receive this card.  I would love it.

I hope your Monday is more gold than blue.  Take care of you.

Gold Glitter and Mint Macaron Card

Stampin' Up! New colours for 2015/2017 are glorious and I particularly love Mint Macaron.  This shade works perfectly with either silver or gold.  For today's card I chose gold.

I used Mint Macaron for my base, gold velum to make an envelope and both gold foil and glimmer paper to punch the tiny hearts. 

I made the bow with the Bow Builder punch and assembled this with hot glue.  I sandwiched a gold paperclip in between and this can come off the card to keep in a diary or personal journal.

The butterfly was punched from the Bitty punch and to coordinate I used my Crop-a-Dile to punch tiny gold circle to decorate down the centre from the gold glimmer card.

Pretty.  Hope today brings you peace and happiness.  Take care of you.

Gold, Navy and Pink Card

Some days you just feel as if it's not coming together.  I knew what I wanted to do but when I started I really struggled.  Here it is....

This is the Stitched die from Dienamics.

I like it but I'm not really loving it, maybe it's the circles.  I wanted to use them as other cards I have seen look amazing, but it's so out of my comfort zone as I'm usually a straight line kinda girl lol.

I do love the butterfly, it's one from the Heidi Swapp collection and I foiled it with gold foil in the Minc.

I then used a strip of gold glimmer card from Stampin' Up! just to get back to my comfort zone lol. The pink is from my stash and the gray is Basic Gray fro SU.  The sentiment has been heat embossed with gold embossing powder from SU also the die cut using a Dienamics die.  The small butterflies were punched from the Bitty butterfly punch with the tiny gold spots punched from my Crop-A-Dile and adhered with Glossy Accents.

Well I hope you love this card and appreciate more than myself.    I like it lol, but just don't love it.  I feel awful admitting this, please forgive me.

Take care of you.

Thinking Of You

Rich Razzleberry.  What a magnificent name and the colour is equally majestic.  Today I have made a card inspired by a sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  This is my first time entering my cards in any blog challenges and this site also has some wonderful creations.

I used Rich Razzleberry for my card base and teamed this with silver glimmer paper and cream roses. The roses were made using the Spiral Flower Originals steel die from Stampin' Up! which I had previously stamped using Strawberry Slush, now retired but I love.  I then used the Bird Builder punch to create the leaves with some showing a previously embossed card to add dimension and interest.  The flowers and leaves were secured to the Whisper White card base using Crystal Efects, which also doubles as a strong adhesive too.

The sentiment was first heat embossed with silver embossing powder before being die cut using a die from the Project Life die set.  This was then layered on another piece of Rich Razzelberry card.

Inside I used more Whisper White card adding two silver glimmer paper hearts for effect.  I usually follow the rile of 3's or odd number but somehow simply two looked perfect.

I hope this day has been rich and magnificent for you all.  Why not head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog, click here and check out more fantastic designs.  

Afterwards I thought it needed more bling, right?

Take care of you.

'Just One' Stamp Set Challenge, Day 5.

Hello again. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. How excited are we all about Stampin' Up's Sale-A-Bration.  There are so many amazing products and projects being made it is so wonderful.

Well today is Day 5!  How did that happen, but crazy happy its now the weekend.  Today's project I have used some 12x12 Designer Series Paper, in black and created this fantastic......

gift bag. 

I think this is super cute.  I have used the Bow Builder Punch to create a bow for the top of the banner that has the 'Best Day Ever' stamped with Versamark and then heat embossed with Gold Emboss Powder.  The bow is a bit difficult to see on the picture above but better seen on the one below.

 I have used the Gold Glimmer paper, the Gold Foil paper and the Gold ribbon.  Do you think I'm developing an obsession with gold?  Gold is just so versatile, happy and helps create a project that is just that extra special.

All of these products can be purchased from me using the tab at the top of the page which will take you directly to the Stampin' Up! shop or simply click on the pictures below of the item you are wishing and it will take you directly to the shop.

I hope you are enjoying my projects as much as I have enjoyed making them for you.  Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you all tomorrow.  Take care of you.
