Simply Stampin' Challenge 19

I am a little late in posting this weeks card for the Simply Stampin' Challenge.  This week we have a lovely sketch for your inspiration, you can use the sketch and rotate it to fit your design.

I decided to use the sketch to prepare my Thank You cards for my customers placing orders for their Stampin' Up! goodies this month.

I made 10 x 10 cm bases from Pumpkin Pie card, with some of the gorgeous Sweet and Sour papers and used the Ornate Blossom stamp with Rich Razzleberry ink, adding some rhinestones for a bit of sparkle.  The sentiment is form the Pocket Silhouttes stamp set, I stamped it on to a strip of card and cut a "V" in the ends to resemble ribbon.

Just a few of the cards I have have made, don't forget there is a special offer from Stampin' Up! available during August, if you would like to get your free gift  please email your order to me.

Pocket Silhouettes Class ......

I thought I would share the remaing projects for tomorrow nighs class, the colours are Almost Navy, Not Quite Navy and Chocolate Chip, using the Pocket Silhouttes stamp set which is perfect for Autumn themed cards.

Below is a card with a matching mini gift box.  These little boxes are so easy to make, perfect for jewellery or a couple of chocolates for a table setting.  I will  put a tutorial on my blog for them soon!!

I haven't had very much time lately to keep my blog up-dated as I have been busy working on samples using some of the new produacts from Stampin' Up! - I can finally shere them with you from tommorrow  as the new catalogue will be released!!!!!  There are so many wonderful new products this year!!!

Birthday Planning ......

I thought I would get ahead and make up some suitable cards for Philip's friends as there will be 60 children in his year group.  I thought this would be a qucik card to make up a batch of, they are suitable for girls and boys - nice and simple!!

I have used the monkey from the Fox and Friends stamp set with Chocolate Chip ink - its not been out for quite a while. It is currently available until 30th September - there's still time to get yours!!  The grasses are from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set, stamped in Old Olive, Mellow Moss and Creamy Caraamel.  I have used Chocolate Chip with the School Book Serif Numbers stamp set and the scalloped circle is punched in Pumkin pie.  I used Kraft (soon to be called Crumb Cake) for my base card, matted with Certainly Celery.

I'm off to finish the rest of this batch of cards, before heading out for the afternoon.
