Birthday Flower

This is another card from the Stampin Up workshop I did a few weeks ago. All the elements worked well together. I think my favorite part is the flower button in the center of the flower. Everything on it is from Stampin Up.

Quick Flower Card

I did this flower a while ago with my Slice. I really should use it more. This was a quick card just for fun. The background is a piece from my scrap box. The green areas are glittery.

Stampin Up Birds

I went to a Stampin Up workshop and did this bird card. I liked the bird enough, that I ordered the punch. below is my version of the card. The ribbon was so pretty that I felt bad covering it up. All the punches and stamps are from Stampin Up. The paper on my card is not from Stampin Up.

I also had to use my scanner rather than the camera because I am out of batteries.  I like the photos of my cards more than the scans.

Thanks for coming by.

Dancing Fairy

I am teaching a class this week and this is one of the cards we will be doing.  They will do one of these since there is lots of cutting out. Below is a close up of the Garden Fairy so you can see the layers. I used a thinker spacer between the first and second layer. 1/8 for the first layers and 1/16 for the second.

The image is a Garden Fairy. I did not color them. They are already colored.  The background is done with a Cuttlebug folder.  They make it feel more like spring.

Birdcage Birthday

Here is another workshop card. I changed all kinds of things from what the demonstrator did. The papers are double sided and I used the other side. She had the whole set of stamps and I chose the birdcage rather than the cake. It was fun to make it my own.  All materials are from Stampin Up.

For You

Here is another card from the recent workshop.  All the materials are from Stampin Up. At home, I almost never use a sponge to shade with. I use Tim Holtz tool that is a wood block with velcro and then a piece of felt. I am unhappy with my shading on this.  The hostess did not have the brown behind the flower but I felt it needed it. I also stamped the small flower out of a different color than the hostess.  I like doing my own thing, even on cards that are planned for me. It makes them my own.
