Throwback Thursday wonderful romance birthday card

 My sisters birthday is tomorrow so I quickly whipped up this card for my #throwbackthursday post.  She is working tonight so I know she won’t see this until later tomorrow, hopefully in person and not here, hehe.  

So I dug into my retired stash, pulled out the Wonderful Romance stamp and die set, Floral Romance velum, (you might have to enlarge the photo to see how pretty it is ) Fresh Fig cardstock.  Sentiments are also oldies but goodies….Family Party and Stitched all Around.  Phew.  Oh, and the bakers twine too but I really can’t remember what that was called, ooops! 

I did add a few embellishments from the adhesive backed hexagons pack that are current.  I really like the embossed edging effect from one of the dies in this set.  It certainly adds a really nice touch.  

Thanks for stopping by, 

Mary Louise

Stampin' Up! Birthday Celebration Birthday Card

Image
 Hey everyone! Today is the perfect day to be tucked in my craft room creating.  It's been snowing and now the sun is shining, and I am glad to be inside now. I received my preorder for the new mini catalogue and sale a bration.  My video today focused on the Wildflower Birthday 12x12 Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Birthday Celebration stamp set. So let me tell you a little bit about the dsp.  It has lovely colours of flowers, birthday cakes, and balloon images and some gold embossing also.  There are also 2 pages of bigger images you could cut out to be complete card fronts or tags AND 2 pages of various die cuts-from flowers, balloons and banners to greenery and cakes.   This card and layout are very easy to duplicate and still make a great card!. Stamping was completed first, a sentiment for both the inside of the card and also for the front.  I used Soft Sea Foam ink and the Birthday Celebration offerings. Next I added a small strip o...

Halloween party invitations-Stampin Up Trick or Tweet

Image
 Hands up who loves Halloween?  Or a Halloween party?  Better yet, a Halloween party for children?  I love Halloween, always have.  Our oldest daughter was born early November 1st, we thought she was going to be an October baby.  Every year for her birthday, she wanted a Halloween themed party so we did it.   We transformed our home to include webs and skeletons, glow in the dark things.  One year we made a haunted maze in our basement for the kids to travel through.  Volunteering with Girl Guides for many years, we always had Halloween parties as well.  Since my daughter is now almost 30 and I am not in a Guiding unit, I miss parties so I have convinced hubby to help me with a party for our grandson and 7 of his little friends.  We will play games, do crafts, have snacks, oh I can’t wait.  Step one were the invitations, because even littles like to get mail.  These are all set now to hit the post office in the morning and...
