Wedding Album
February 20, 2008 by Ruth
This is an album I made for some friends of mine that got married last June. They used this album at the wedding reception for people to sign and write messages. It is made with the ‘Heartfelt Thanks‘ stamp set, using a versa marker and some pastels.
I have also used the Recollections Designer Series Paper as well. I then printed on the computer their names and used some hodgepodge hardware to frame a verse from a Sale-a-bration stamp set from last year. I hope you like it.
Simple Thank You
February 19, 2008 by Ruth
Today I thought I would show you a card I made for a workshop make and take recently. I used the ‘In color’ range of card with the ‘Be Happy’ stamp set I recieved last year when I attended the Stampin’ Up Conference.
I have made the front of the card into a bookmark as well using the ‘Cutter Kit’ which is fantastic, so not only is it a Thank You card, but a bookmark as well.
I used a White Gel pen to ‘Stitch’ the edges of the ‘Vintage Violet’ card stock and a little ribbon and a few gold brads to finish it off.
From Old to New
I can’t believe a week has gone by without me blogging, however when I think of the week gone by I do realise why, too many things to do with such little time. When I think of my diary this week there shouldn’t be any excuses as I am free every night this week!!!!!
A few weeks ago I found an old fashioned clip board in a pile of papers in our study, so I thought it would look a little nicer with some stamps and card!!!! You can see the result, I was quite impressed (and so was my husband) at the result.
I used In Colors, Vintage Violet, True Thyme, Cranberry Crisp, Marigold Morning. With the stamp Set ‘Time Well Spent’ which is a beautiful stamp set given to all the demonstrators in Australia as a Thank You from Stampin’ Up They are such a special company to work with.
I coloured the butterfiles in with Stampin’ Write Markers – Rich Regals and used a White Gel pen to colour in some of the words of the stamp verse. I also aqua painted some of the flowers I had stamped on the ‘Marigold Morning’ card stock.
I hope you like it.
A little Something with Natural Beauty
February 4, 2008 by Ruth
I made a card or two about 12 months ago with a friend who had this stamp set (Thanks Marelle) and loved it. So I purchased it for myself and it sat in the cupboard until this last week when I finally had a chance to make a card set for a workshop I am holding in a couple of weeks.
Here is a sneek peek of what one of the cards looks like. I have made the card with Elegant Eggplant and Pale Plum Stampin’ Up! card stock, I have water coloured the flowers of the ‘Natural Beauty’ stamp set on a piece of Whisper White and then overlayed a piece of Vellum and stamped the Bird image over the top. Popped a few brads on to frame the image.
