HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

The SENIOR YEARS STAMP SET is so, so cute.

For this card I decided to have the couple going out for a walk, arm in arm.

Perhaps this is what Rob and I will look like on our anniversary in 15/20/25 years. We celebrated 35 years this year.

I used one of the dies from the HOME TOGETHER DIES to create the rolling hills and added texture using the TASTEFUL TEXTILES and SUBTLE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDERS. The hills were then layered using dimensionals.

I have even surprised myself by how much fussy cutting I have done recently. It was fun to be able join the couple arm in arm.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this super cute card. If you live anywhere in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

LOVELY THANK YOU GIFT BOX

I love having lots of gift boxes on hand, ready to fill with goodies , for when there is someone to share my thanks.

A few days ago I posted a birthday gift box I made using the BOHO INDIGO PRODUCT MEDLEY. I have used the same colours and products for this gift box.

This time, I made a lid using the second largest of the CELEBRATION LABELS DIES.

For the greeting label, I die cut two of the smaller dies, from the same die set. When they are overlaid the way I did, the end result is great – super happy with this little discovery.

I am really pleased with how this gift box finished up and now all I need is that special person to give this to.

Now onto an anniversary card.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping and gift box making.

A RAINBOW KIND OF BIRTHDAY

Over the last week or so, I have been using some stamp sets and other products that I haven’t used before.

Today I used the BUFFALO CHECK BACKGROUND STAMP.

After tossing around a few ideas, I decided to use my STAMPIN’ WRITE MARKERS ™ to create a coloured rainbow.

I used markers, primarily, from the BRIGHTS family – POPPY PARADE, MANGO MELODY, DAFFODIL DELIGHT, GRANNY APPLE GREEN, PACIFIC POINT, GORGEOUS GRAPE and HIGHLAND HEATHER.

The hand colouring looks a little patchy but I’m really pleased with the effect.

Then I used the CELEBRATION LABELS DIES to cut the stamped rainbow buffalo check.

I used two die cut pieces of Gorgeous Grape to create a mat to adhere the rainbow to – then I popped it up with dimensionals.

The white faux linen ribbon from the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON RIBBON COMBO teams nicely with the LINEN THREADS.

I chose some Mango Melody ARTISTRY BLOOMS SEQUINS to finish the card with a little bling.

For the envelope, I coloured the stamp again as you can see.

This will be the card I send to my sister for her birthday this Thursday. So when I post it, with her gift, on Monday – it will be a “little-bit-late”. This is the perfect sentiment for the birthday cards I send.

I hope that Karen likes her birthday goodies.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
