Last of the Spice Cake cards.....

Here are the last few cards I made with the new Spice Cake papers - I love them!!!

Another card base of More Mustard - but a lovely effect with leaves cut out and layered up from teh French Foliage stamp set.  The sentiment is form another stamp set I received free, Creative Elements, and the background shape is from Everything Elenor.

I added some ink to the edges of this card and decorated the inside too.

The background was stamped with a gorgeous vine from the Creative Elements stamp set and lightly colured with Crumb Cake ink and a blender pen.  The fabric flowers are cut with the exclusive to Stampin' Up! Fun Flowers die - no sewing or finishing raw edges, just good old Tombow adhesive to stick it together!!

The flower centre was made with the Boho Blossoms punch, another decorated inside.

Foe this card I used the gorgeous Curly Cute sentiment stamp set , along with some Spice Cake paper and Soft Suede tafetta ribbon, The flower is stamped with Soft Suede ink onto More Mustard and Pear Pizzaz card, then punched with the co-ordinating punches and another Vintage Brad.

Another side view and decorated inside, I do like the Very Vanilla card inside the coloured card bases.

As I had made so many cards, I needed a box to store them in, I will share the pictures of the box tomorrow, along with some matching pens and tags.  I thought this would make a lovely gift set, so it will be kept for the right occasion.

More Convention Gifts

Today I am sharing the "pillow" gifts I made for Julie my downline and travelling companion.

I altered a Stampin' Up! journal book with a matching pen holder and a jumbo peg.

I used those gorgeous  First Edition papers  with the edges inked with Crumb Cake ink, the spiral wire of the book is decorated with lots of ruffled ribbons and some crochet trim - the colours are from the NEW In Colours - Pool Party, Island Indigo, Wisteria Wonder.  I used the beautiful Everything Elenor stamp set, there are so many gorgeous stamp in this one, a must have for your collection!!  Most of the flowers have been cut out and layered to add some depth with a few pretty pearls.

At convention we all recieve the same bag, so it is important to make your bag easy to find by adding a tag with your name, I made a tag for Julie and a similar one for myself.

I cut the tags from some strong chipbaord using the NEW Two Tags die. I used the same paper, stamps and ribbons to make the tags When I went to Disneyland Paris in July I bought some cute Mickey & Minnie charms with the Eiffel Tower to add to the "bag Tags".

I have another special gift I made for my Stampin' Up! "Mum" Jules to share soon!!
