serivette car

I was going through some card photos and came across this one I thought I would share. It was made for my friend's son. I really hate making teenage boy cards, I have alot of cute stamps suitable for girls and little boys not teenages. I came across this serivette when I was shopping and thought WOW. I paper toiled the serivette so the card just popped out of the card and stamped the checks with white ink.

Martini Samantha

I made this card today for another of my daughter's friends who is turning 18. I got to play with some new things that I purchased at the Brisbane Paper Festival the other weekend. Firstly the wonderful Martha Stewart border punch, a bit extravagant in Australia but very nice. The designer paper is also new and it goes wonderfully with stampin up retired cool caribbean, yes I still have some of this.
I had a blue flower from craft affair but it wasn't quite the right shade so I coloured it with my copic marker - frost blue B00. I also added paper piercing to the corners, it doesn't very clearly in the photo but I cut and added a gel sticker to pop out the martini glass.
Recipe:
Stamps: Rubber Romance - Samantha
Paper: DP - teal and Black Garden -Masterpiece studios, Cool Caribbean, black, white.
Other: Paper Piercing tool and mat, double stiched black ribbon, craft affair flowers and jewel, Martha Stewart border punch,copics,gel sticker

Diamond Fold Basic Grey

The third Wednesday of each month I over to club with friends, this year we have been doing something different and set ourselves homework, just so that we make an effort to stamp something each month even when our life is very busy. Now Frances aka Stampowl is always stamping so she never has our problem so we usually pick something that we like from her blog. This week Gai aka Poppy chose the diamond fold card, I had already cased my diamond fold card from Frances's site several weeks earlier so I chose to make a spring card with a varation. Here are both my cards.

This is the diamond fold.

Stamps: basic grey lotus b2

Paper: dp hiedi grace designs vineyard words, green galore, lavender lace
Ink: brillance pearlescent lavender, victorian violet,bottle green,pearlescent lime
Accessories: jewels, bone folder

This is the spring card varation, you can find the instructions here.

It may not look like it but you use quite a bit of card to make this, I think I may just use this for a special occasion card.

Stamp: Inkadinkado - 97647 You Lucky Duck

Paper: DCWV - the glitter stack, Yoyo Yellow, Green Galore

Other: Nestabilities, foam dots, word window punch, bone scorer
