Coffee, Cake and Cards

I've created these 2 cards for our next Coffee Cake and Cards get together, perfect to have on hand for that next birthday.  If you are local and would like to join us for some stamping fun, please let me know.  There will be 4 cards in total as well as lots of laughs and fun.  

They aren't as difficult as you would think and I do all the cutting for you... just need to follow the step by step instructions along with me and create your own.  We are planning on completing these in the next week or two, on a weekend.  

I can't wait to have everyone here to stamp with me and enjoy the projects to take home.

Need a card in 10 minutes?

 This is such a quick card to put together using scraps of patterned paper.  

I cut 4 strips of paper in the regal collection of colours and trimmed the ends to create double ended banners.  I adhered them to the card base then die cut 2 labels from the Stitched So Sweetly die set.  I stamped the sentiment from Beautiful Friendship and added little balloons from the Zoo Globe stamp set in a matching colour.  

If you don't have dies or patterned paper, this card is just as effective in cardstock and a simple matted square sentiment.  

Happy crafting, Rachael xx

Just add ink - #525 - Thanks

 I bought some watercolour brushes on Friday and have had this card in mind since I read the challenge over at Just Add Ink.  This week's challenge is to add 'Thank you".  

The card came together well.  I've noticed I've gravitated towards greens and blues lately.  

I used the Beautiful Friendship stamps to add detail to the edges of my watercolour background with the Thank you sentiment is from the So Sentimental set.  

Supplies included:

So sentimental stamp set

Beautiful friendship stamp set

Stitched So Sweetly die set

Wrapped In Texture embossing folder

Colours: Very Vanilla, Soft Seafoam, Mint Macaron and Pretty Peacock

  

Happy Sunday to all, Rachael xx

Purple isn't my colour...

...BUT I think I made it work in this card!

A neighbour is recovering from having some skin cancers removed today, so I thought a nice card would cheer her up as I'm sure she is in pain.   I don't usually use purple but I actually think I pulled this one off.  The colour reminds me of hydrangeas like my grandfather used to grow so it was only fitting to use Beautiful Friendship for this one.  The best thing about this card - it took 15 minutes from start to finish!

Supplies:

• Whisper White and Highland Heather cardstock
• Highland Heather, Balmy Blue and Mint Macaron inks
• Basic Pearls
• Retired embossing folder
• Beautiful Friendship stamp set
• So Sentimental stamp set
• Stitched So Sweetly dies 

I hope everyone is well out there - remember to SLIP SLOP SLAP and WRAP!
