happy Birthday

Last week at one of my classes we made this Birthday card using the Patio Party dsp. I got the idea for this card from Katrina Criglington here. I didn't have the same cake stamp as her so changed to what I had.
I like this dsp as the paper has so much detail on it that you really don't have to add much to it to have a quick birthday card.

Secret Santa gift

Two weeks ago at our team meeting we did Secret Santa. This is the gift that I made for my recipient. Its a box made from the Top Note diez filled with Christmas tags.
I made the tags using the Tags die and used the Ornament Keepsake stamp set and framelits to decorate. Had seen this idea before whilst blog surfing.

At our team meeting on Wednesday we made swaps had to be something that wasn't Christmas.

I came up with this swap which I had made something similar in a class last week.

I made two versions of the same card.
Stamps:Serene Silhouettes
Paper: White, black

Ink:Black Stazon, Bashful blue, More mustard, So Saffron, Lucky Limeade,Old Olive
Accessories:Polka dot embossing frame,Sponges,Labels collection framelits

Polished Stone Christmas card

Last night we had our team meeting in Christchurch. Lots of new faces. We also did secret santa, swaps were WOW'ed and did a make n take. I demonstrated this card for the make n take using the Polished stone technique. No two cards had the same background but they all looked great.
i used Paltinum shimmer paint mainly because I didn't have any Champagne shimmer paint at the time I designed this card. But it still looked ok.
Stamps:Scentsational stamps , Greetings of the Season

Paper:Glossy paper, White, Cherry Cobbler Champagne Glimmer paper
Ink:Gumbell green, stazOn Black,Cherry Cobbler, River rock
Accessories:  Re inkers,framelits,Dimensionals, platinum shimmer paint, Rubbing alcohol

This is a lovely card that I have cased from Jenny Moors. She has made her card square so my dimensions are different to the one that she made.I'm always in need of sympathy cards and French Foliage is a great stamp set for making sympathy cards.
