Easter Cards

I've been using the Stamping ' Up! Note Cards and Envelopes for my Easter cards.

I found a set on nesting egg shaped dies. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! Eggstra Spectacular stamped on Whisper White. The middle layer is Hunkydory Glitter Glaze paper and the largest egg is from the Painted Blooms DSP.

Painted Blooms is also the background for these. The flowers are cut using Tattered Lace dies from the Glitter Glaze paper. The sentiment was created using MDS using the Blackberry Bliss text colour, printed on Whisper White and punched with the Decorative Label punch with the edges sponged in Blackberry Bliss ink.

For this card I stamped the flowers using the Crazy about You stamp set using Crushed Curry and Elegant Eggplant ink. the large flowers were punched with the Flower Medallion punch from Pained Blooms and Flowerpot DSP, decorated with an Antique brad and mounted on a dimensional. The sentiment used words from the same stamp set, stamped in Island Indigo ink on Shimmery White paper and cut with a die from the Apothecary Accents set.

Engagement Cards

Many Congratulation to Laura and Jade, two friends who have just got engaged.
They have given permission for me to put the cards I made on this blog.

As the engagement ring featured an emerald I went with green cardstock. This was a 6X6 card. The base cardstock is Stampin' Up! (SU)Old Olive. The white quilted card is from Die Cuts with a View. The ladies are cut in Stampin' Up! Basic Black cardstock and the background from green mirror card with the Tattered Lace Georgina die. The top figure is a cut down version of the larger figure. The stamped sentiments 'Congratulations on your Engagement' and 'Two Hearts one love' are from Stampingallday. Both are stamped in SU Garden Green on Whisper White cardstock. The top one was cut with an SU Apothecary Accents die and the other cut using a  SU Hearts a Flutter die. The names were printed using SU My Digital Studio and punched with the SU large heart punch. The envelope was created using the SU Envelope Punch Board and matching DSP.

The inside die is from Tattered Lace.

The second card is A5 in size using white linen cardstock. The names are cut in SU Garden Green using the a Tattered Lace Alphabet die. The champagne bottle was cut from SU Brushed Gold Cardstock using a Tattered Lace die. The Hearts were punched suing the retired SU small heart punch from Brushed Gold cardstock. The embellishments are Hobbycraft rhinestone hearts. The sentiment is from the SU Sassy Salutations stamp set embossed in the SU retired Pewter embossing powder.

The inside of the card is a Tattered Lace die cut in SU Brushed Gold cardstock.

More Mixed Media

Here are some cards I've created using My Digital Studio - Stampin' Up!'s digital application for PC's and Mac's.

This is a wedding card. The background and text were created in MDS and printed on Whisper White cardstock. The champagne bottle is cut from the new Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper using a Tattered Lace die. The hearts were punched from the same paper using the retired small heart punch.

This one also has the background and text created using MDS and printed on Whisper White cardstock. The ballet shoes are cut from the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper using a Tattered Lace die and the star was cut from the same paper using new Stampin' Up! star framelits.

Again the pink patterned paper and the text was created in MDS and printed on Whisper White cardstock. The text is cut with a Stampin' Up! die from the Apothecary Accents die. The floer frame was cut using Stampin' Up! dies from the Floral Frames Collection. The butterflies were punched using the Stampin' Up! Elegant Butterfly punch. The corner was embossed using a Tattered Lace Rose Garden embossing folder. It is embellished with Stampin' Up!'s retired large pearls.
