Happy Day

Here's a quick easy card

using Happy Day from Stampin' Up!

I stamped the doily-like image a few times 

without re-inking in between.

This gives a graduated faded look,

that works really well for backgrounds.

The sentiment is perfect for that note-let you need in a hurry!

Stampin' Up! Happy Day

Sorry, but here's another faux tile card.

I like this technique, can you tell?!

This time I cut my panel in half,

added ribbon through the middle,

upon which I hung the greeting.

Happy Post

A couple of cards to a couple of special people.

Thank You

I always try and make my customers a little label or card,

by way of a thank you, and to give a little inspiration....

here's some I was making recently...

I used the Oval Framelits with the tag ribbon-hole from Chalk Talk.

Flower Shop provided the flowers,

and making life easy, one of the many fab things about Stampin' Up!

is the matching punch.....saves a whole lot of cutting out,

and gives a professional finish.

I also used my best stampin' friend the stamp-a-ma-jig

to position the words.....

it's such a simple useful tool I just couldn't live without!

Class project

I used yesterdays card at a card class,

and decided to make a matching box from one of Stampin' Up!'s Kraft boxes.

 We used Modern Medley papers again to decorate.

I embossed the acetate cover in my Bigshot, although it did struggle with the thickness!

We added a ribbon bow, and a Tag...

The right hand tag was inspired by stampinsupplies.blogspot.co.uk.

I embossed it, rounded the corners, added a 'hole' with Chalk Talk framelits,

some DSP, sentiment from Happy Day, and Itty Butterfly.

The left hand tag was made with Chalk Talk stamp and die, for a more masculine option.

Team play day

We had a really fun day with our fellow Stampin' Up! playmates.

We each do a swap and a make 'n take.

This was my m&t that I cased from Selene Kempton from stampin4fun.net

We used the Modern Medley papers, a doily, crochet trim,

Elegant Butterfly, Vintage Button, and Happy Day sentiment.

I loved the use of a slither of card stock to make the button 'thread'...

will definitely use that idea again!

Go, William

Here's one I did for Alan's nephew.

I used a fab chevron folding technique I got from a you tube video,

to make a couple of borders that fitted together.

I applied some washi tape first, then the chevrons,

mounted a This and That sticker on card, added a couple of ticket stickers,

and stamped from the Happy Day set.

I earned that set, and can't believe how much I'm using it...it's FAB!
