Stepper Card

Just a quick post. A colleague asked me to make a birthday card for his 9 year old nephew so here is what I came up with adapted from a card I saw on you-tube, if I find the link I will post it here.  Lots of punched owls and I used a few stamp sets, funky four, fast notes and one I forgot the name of!

Simply Stampin' Challange 10 and fast notes

I thought I would have a go at another simply stampin' challenge, this one is a sketch challange, I think it's a lovely sketch.

I have used some artistic license and changed the circle to a rectangle. I used the fun and fast notes stamp set, I have tried to make it a masculine card, please let me know if I succeeded.  I stamped the birthday cake onto concord crush card in whisper white ink and used some dazzling diamonds glitter to give it a bit of sparkle. I then layered it using peach parfait cardstock and used the scallop edge border punch. I decorated the inside too.

In the second card I used real red card stock as well, I think they are nice and bright and not usually colours I would use but I like them. In this one I cut the front a bit shorter so you can see some of the inside decoration.

Stampin Up! Fun and Fast notes

Sorry I have'nt posted for a while I've been really busy.  It was Rebeccca's 13th birthday last week, yes I now have a teenager in the house.  I have been playing with the fun and fast note set, (another set from my starter kit) it's a great little set, very versatile.  Top tip, if you buy it cut the sentiments off and mount them on the side of the wood block, it makes it really easy to mix and match. I didn't do this so had to use scraps of paper to cover the bits I didn't want when I inked the stamp up.
I used a basic sketch, so it was quick and easy to make a few different cards with this stamp set.   I am doing some make and takes for my first workshop with this set so will make a tutorial section to put the instructions.

I used the wild wasabi card stock and the fast flower wheel, I used a different sentiment to the one on the stamp. Here's another card using the same sketch, this time vertical, I added some basic pearls as I knew I had to open the packet at some point, I've just been admiring them and putting them back in the box!

Bye for now, I will let you know how the workshop went, it's just a small practise one but I'm sure we'll have lots of fun.
