Trendy Trees Spring

This is a card using theTrendy Trees stamp set, this time in Spring colours. In the past I've only ever used this set with Autumn colours, but I love the combination of these colours:

Kiwi Kiss
Cameo Coral
Basic Gray
Pirouette Pink
Whisper White

and a clean simple but cute look. Lots of fun.

Birthday Cake

My friend Catherine has recently been on a weight loss challenge, so I came up with a low-fat birthday present for her! I used the Sweet Always DSP, So Saffron, Regal Rose and Very Vanilla cardstock. The template for the Piece-a-Cake is here.

Inside I put some little goodies from Kikki K. The present on the right is some post-it notes that were too big for the cake! I wrapped them with some DSP and used the Ovals All stamp to make a label.

Tree Trimmed notecard

This was a quick notecard using the Tree Trimmings set and some scraps I had on my desk. The background is stamped with images from the Great Friend set. I think I'll be using this colour combo again for Christmas - Real Red, Garden Green and Kiwi Kiss.

Forest Friends Tree

I love the way the tree from the Forest Friends set looks when it is coloured with the stamp n write markers. The colours blend together just a little and on this stamp it gives a stencilled look, which I love.

This little calendar was a quick project (calendar from an educational supplier last year)

and close up

and a masculine-looking card, with some leaves from the Great Friend set in the background, and a piece of DSP also from the Spring Mini.

I two-toned the greeting with Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip markers and I love the look!

Baroque Motifs Christmas

I ran my first Stampin' Up! Christmas Card Class the other night, and this was one of the 8 cards we made. I used the Baroque Motifs stamp set with Real Red and Garden Green to give it a Christmassy flavour. The greeting is from the Best Yet hostess set.

Forest Friends Baby Card

I love this little deer from the Forest Friends set so much! This was a quick and simple card using Close to Cocoa, Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink, and the Cameo Coral flower brings it to life.
