Hip Hip Hooray

Well our eldest Grandson has a birthday again and it makes me feel really old, so far as to say, this is his last year as a teenager. But I must admit he has grown up more this year than any other which makes me so proud to say Happy Birthday Kieran.

I had no idea what I was going to do for his card this year so I just put my hand into the dies box and out popped the party pop up die and this is what I came up with, hope you like it. You could change the dsp background for a more up to date one.

The materials used are:

Card stock: emerald envy, glimmer paper (retired) Whisper white thick, whisper white

DSP: it’s my party (retired)

Stamp set: starburst sayings

Thinlits: party pop up

Punch: classic label

Accessories: rhinestones NSU

Will be back again soon with more cards

Thirty Years, Old & New

Celebrating 30 years of happiness

Been busy lately and now getting behind with my blogging again. I'm now at the end of August instead of up to date with September. Have one more to go for August, so will try and get that one up some time this week.

I'm showing a card I did for friends of ours who have recently celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. I just fell in love with this stamp set and the Detailed Floral thinlits and new straightaway what I would do with them.

As you can see it's made with all new products from the 16-18 catalogue except for the crochet trim which I must admit I bought years ago and think I've only used once or twice and yes that is the old.I felt when I sent it it was lovely but now I look again I'm not so sure about the trim and feel I should have used something else, but not sure what.

The materials used are:

Card Stock: Emerald Envy, Very Vanilla

Ink: Emerald Envy

Stamp Sets: Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Wild About Flowers

Punches: Classic Label

Thinlits: Detailed Floral

Ribbon: Crochet Trim Victoria (retired)

Accessories: Basic Pearls, Basic Rhinestones

Will be back again soon with more cards
