A Rainbow of Cards

 

This is the collection of cards I made for my classes this week, using the Bright colour collection with the Easy Events stamp set - a fabulous stamp set to add to your collection.  All of the images were coloured using a blender pen and an ink pad, I used a variety of punches to layer the images and create backgrounds along with the Itty Bitty Bits stamp set. All of these cards are suitable to post  using a regular first class stamp.

It maybe Friday 13th but it is my lucky day and always will be!!

Baptism Card

I was asked to make a Baptism card for two little girls who are going to be Baptised together - one is three years old and the other is a baby. 

I did have to think about this card for a day or two as the usual baby style stamps I would use were not really suitable on this occassion.

Then inspiration struck in the form of the very versatile All in the Family stamp set!!

I stamped a baby and a little girl in Basic Grey ink and coloured them using the Stampin' Write marker pens adding a ruffle of Pretty in Pink taffetta ribbon and some pearls. The tiny flowers are from the Itty Bitty Bits punch set and I used the Scallop Trim corner punch to add some interest to the design. The sentiment is printed from my computer and layered with Circle punches and the Scalloped Circle punch, a few more pearls and ribbon to match. I used a combination of Pretty inPink, Pirroutte Pink, Crumb Cake and Whisper White.

Its the last day of term!!!!  I do look forward to spending more time together through the summer holidays and hopefully some nice days out too!!  Lucy hasn't got back to school after having Chicken Pox as they are still not completely dried up - but at least it will be in time for our trip to Disneyland Paris next week!!!   Both Lucy and Philip are getting excited now!!

Itty Bitty Cards

I needed a couple of quick cards for a birthday party Lucy was going to, so as the girls were twins I decided to make the same cards in  different colour collections.

This card is from the Brights collection - Real Red, Daffodil Yellow, Pacific Point and Melon Mambo.

The Subtles version So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink.

For both cards I used the small square punch and the 11/4" circle punch layered in a grid pattern on an A6 size card. I stamped some of the tiny flowers from the Itty Bitty Bits stamp seet in the same colours and used the co-ordinating punch for them adding a tiny rhinstone for a little sparkle. 

I quite liked the effect of the punches and I thought they  would make a Lego inspired card for some of  Philips friends.
