A special gift for a sweet friend

A few weeks ago I made a special gift for a sweet friend of mine . She is a nursing buddy I trained with and also my up line @ Stampin ' Up ! I can't believe I forgot to post it to my blog so here you go !

I adore the sale-a-brat ion stamp Lotus Blossom and it was so much fun to create this for my friend . I then created a matching pop up book card .

The front of the card was created using the Bokeh technique . I just love this design and these colours together.

Supplies:

Stamps : Lotus Blossom , Butterfly Basics , Summer Silhouettes .

Inks : Rich Razzleberry , Pink Pirouette, Pool Party, Wild Wasabi .

Tools : Note Tag Punch , Butterfly framelits 

Paper : Whisper White , Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette.

My friend loved her gift so I was inspired to creat another similar project which I gave away as a lucky door prize at my last card class . The winner was and is still in awe of it and cannot get over the effort I put into it ! So sweet of her to say !

SCRAPBOOKING

Hi Stampers .

What fun we had today ! I helped my ladies create what would have to be one of my favourite layouts !

The first is my grandson Sam dressed up as a pirate . He's such a cutie don't you think !

I've used some retired , but still favourite sets for these layouts .

Products used : Real Red , Basic Black , Basic Gray cardstock and Typeset DSP .

Circles Framelits .

Stamp sets : Open Sea , Calm Seas ,Just Jawing and Grunge Rock.

Ink : Craft White , Memento Black

In this page Liam , my oldest grandson is dressed as Harry Potter - how cool does he look !

This time I chose Cherry Cobbler cardstock  Typeset and Back To Black DSP and the Alphabet embossing folder was spritzed with Vanilla Smooch to give it authenticity .

I used the Spider Web and Perfect Print embossing folders to stamp with - have you tried it yet ? It's really cool !

Stamp sets used were Choose Happiness ,  Artistic Etchings , Affection Collection , Grunge Rock and Sheltering Tree - love those spooky trees ! This was easily adapted by Coral to make a Halloween LO for her grandaughter and it looked amazing !

That's all for today ! My next class will be a launch day for our new catalogue which goes live on June 2 nd . My launch will be Sunday 14 th June .

Hi Stampers !
