Shopping Bag card

I had a request to make a card for someone's birthday. the gift to go with the card was a large animal print shopping bag.

this is the bag

 And this is the card I made

Popcorn card

I have been trying to theme my birthday cards to the gifts I am giving. This time I wanted something to go with an "Event Cinema" giftcard. Also it was to be a masculine card and you know how challenging they can be sometimes!

I googled my theme and came up with idea of "popcorn", so with an idea I found on Tanya Bell's site, I came up with this.

Wine holder

For my latest class, I taught this cool little "Piccolo" size wine bottle holder. The wine is Lindauer and it comes in a pack of four from the local supermaket for $15.99 so the bottles are just $4 each. So a great little gift:)

The base card is Blackberry Bliss (or "Blackberry Nip" as one of my friends (Sue S) calls it he he). And the DSP is the Moonlight stack.

I got the idea from Eva at http://lovelymade.me/2014/07/31/piccolo-verpackung-mit-dem-epb-mit-anleitung/

More Blendies

You know, you don't have to stick to the one lot of colour shades to blend together. I had a go at blending Rich Razzleberry with Coastal Cabana in this card I Cased from Victoria Rogers. I used the colour lifter to make highlighted dots but she used the chalk marker. Mine look a little like raindrops but I like the effect Victoria got better I think. Nothing like a bit of experimentation.

Using the new "Blendies"

I just love ( I mean looove!!) the new Stampin' Up! blendabilities.

I love the matt finish. I love the way you don't see any brushstokes. I love the colour range. I love the way the colur shades blend together without a line. I love the effects you can get with them, especially the 3D effect as in the "Perfect Blend" card below.

If you would like to join the next "How to use the Stampin' Up! Blendabilities" class, please email me your interest and I will contact you with some dates.

Here are a couple of cards I made recently using the blendies;

Based a card by Cherrie

 

On this one I coloured a clear Rhinestone and attached it to look like dew drop.
