Hi Y'all!
I haven't posted many of my cards on here lately, so here some are for you!
I needed more lady Birthday Cards in my cardbox, cos they must have been my best-sellers lately, they were pretty scarce in the box!
Found this packet of pretty blue Stampin Up printed papers that I had lots amongst my stash! I am so happy to have found them, they make lovely cards for all those people who don't like pink!
Still nice and soft, with pretty blue and kraft flowers. And the gorgeous Stampin Up Butterfly Wings die cut that I use in my Cuttlebug machine.
I love Deers! Do you? Aren't they so cute! I had this little strip of AC deer paper hanging out in my stash so built the card around that. Do you start with little offcuts like me? I find that I end up a bit more creative when I have an unusual small piece to start with, rather than staring at a big 12x12 sheet. Then I have to come up with all the ideas, when I start with a small piece, they ideas just seem to flow! The note paper piece was also a leftover scrap from my stash, I love it on this card! The sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up set called "Happy Everything". (Can you tell I had pulled out a big stack of SU stamps to use, cos I'd neglected them for too long!!)
Then I dug out some nice bright Stampin Up papers and made these 2 gems! Remember, when you're making one card, you may as well go ahead and make another one at the same time, it saves you time later!
And I already had someone in mind for this one, so there is now only one left in my cardbox. I love the bright colours, the orange and the pink are so unusual together, but I love them! ANd the doily stamp is gorgeous too! The flower and doily are both from the retired Stampin Up set "True Friend". I hadn't thought that doily looked like a doily til I used it on these cards, I love it now! Isn't it cool how you can look at an old set in a totally new way when a new trend comes along!
Have you been creating this weekend?
