Happy Birthday Mum

Hi all,

Here's the card I made for my Mum recently using the versatile Top Note Die twice :) Mum loves Turquoise and patchwork, so I thought I'd combine it for this card.

Next Stampin' Up! Class - 9 July 2011

Hi all,

Another great class with the ladies today, playing with the Big Shot and the lovely Fun Flowers Bigz L Die, exclusive to Stampin' Up! These cards were inspired by a few cards online.

These cards were made today which we found were very quick and easy to make as the die makes it a quick way to layer and make an effective flower:

On the ladies cards, they clear embossed their sentiment which made it more effective and stood out from the patterned background paper.

Cardstock: Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze. Designer Series Paper - Springtime Vintage.
Inkpad: Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze.
Accessories: Big Shot, Fun Flowers Bigz L Die, Sponge Dauber, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Dimensionals and SU Bone Folder.

Card Two


Stamps: Occasional Greetings (P.21) and Very Vintage (P.62).
Cardstock: Crumb Cake and Pretty In Pink. Designer Series Paper - Melon Mambo.
Inkpad: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose.
Accessories: Big Shot, Fun Flowers Bigz L Die, 5/8" Satin Ribbon - Old Olive, Stampin' Around Jumbo Handle, Sponge Dauber, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Dimensionals, Glue Dots and SU Bone Folder.

Cards Together


To complete these cards, the folowing stamp sets and accessories were used:
