Elegant Cards for Elegant Ladies

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

 Jo (my stamping friend and helper!!) visited last night and we had a great relaxing time chatting and crafting.  I was busy finishing the preparation for tomorrow’s class which called Elegant Cards for Elegant Ladies.  I’ll be using the wonderful Sarah Phelps clear stamp sets. Here’s a sneek peek of one of the cards will be making.  img003 The main image and background paper were stamped using CL214 -  Flowers for You -  clear stamp set. 

The gorgeous rose vase image was stamped onto our copic white card with a black mementos and coloured with the Copic Markers (BV00, Bv02, BV04, Yr00, YG63, YG41, C1) and cut with the oval nestabilities.  This was layered onto a larger scalloped oval cut from green card.   The background was simply randomly stamped with a Black Memento Inkpad onto white card, which was mounted onto green card and then onto the main card.  To finish i added a dragonfly brad.

Other local classes between now and May 2010 can be found on my website.  The new class schedule will be released on Saturday 17th April at our Kintbury Spring Extravaganza where we’ll be joined by Karen Watson (cardmaking royalty!!)  Karen is sure to inspire you to come along if you can.

 

Happy Stamping, Wendy

Love is in the Air 5

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Another quick and easy card for Valentines’.  Again I have used clear stamp set CL162 - can you tell I love that set!  If you would like the set for half price you need to be fairly quick..  My circle punches have been doing overtime I have used them here to make a circular border but overlaying the circles.

Hope you like the card?  Happy Stamping, Wendy

Love is in the Air 4

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Yesterday I promised to show you that the Valentine’s stamps can be used for other occasion especially the Sweet Heart stamps (CL162) which includes images and wording for friends.  Here is a quick card I have made for a friend.  Sometimes just changing the colour (away from red) can make all the difference too.img066

I have used:

CL162 Sweet Heart Clear stamps

TR9 Purple Dreams paper (also available in our 6×6 Tickertape paper selection)

Circle Punch (1.5″)

Love is in the Air 3

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Only 5 days to Valentine’s Day, so if you haven’t made a card for that special someone you really need to think about it now.  The card that I’m showing today has been made with our CL162 Sweet Hearts Clear stamp set (half price at just £7.50) and not just for valentine’s day as tomorrow’s card will show.  Note I have cut a circle from the centre of the card and mounted the cup image on the inside of the card.

Don’t forget to email me if you would like me to search for something for you at the forthcoming trade show…

Happy Stamping, Wendy

Sorry for the late posting today but it has been chaotic again and this evening I’ve been busy making a birthday card for my great nephew Joshua’s first birthday, whilst my friend Jo made a gorgeous card using our new Plum Blossom stamps.  Hopefully she’ll be adding it to her blog soon….

Happy Birthday Mum

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

It’s my dear Mum’s birthday today, and I’m sure she won’t mind me showing you the card I have made for her.  She is 83 years young today, I cannot believe it (and neither can she)!!

img056

I have used the gorgeous Leigh Hannan Victorian Rose stamp (F2064) http://www.stampsandmemories.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1246 

Try not type rose in our search and see all the different “Rose” themed products available.

Bu7 Rose paper from the AED Bud range, White Square 6×6 card

Copic Ciao Markers (if you’d like to know the colours, email me and I’ll try to find my listing) and the Black Memento Inkpad 

Martha Stewart Combo Round Lattice Punch set http://www.stampsandmemories.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=246&products_id=2904

Lilac Rhinestones to decorate corners of card

Ribbon Tag Nestabilities and Ribbon from my own selection

The card is elegant but simple to make.  I added a ribbon wrap around the card which is tied on the back so it can easily be slipped off to open and read the inside greeting.  The back is rather plan but if you wanted to you always cover with the Bu7 Rose paper.  This shows the bow on the reverse img058

Happy Stamping, Wendy
