Heart Birthday Card

I promised a happier project for today and this one is lovely and bright and full of hearts!

Ok so this is using the Polka Dot Series Paper again in Rich Razleberry and Old Olive I have also used Very Vanilla Card stock and a retired pen Almost Amthyst, which was the nearest colour match I had to the non Stampin Up ribbon. I have had my heart dies for a little while, but with Christmas I haven't really had the opportunity to have a real play with them, it was worth waiting for as I really like this layering effect. The little cirle stamp is from the Posy Punch stamp set and the cake from the hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes. I love this colour combo and always find myself using it, it reminds me of the make and take I made at the first Stampin Up Party I went to.

Thanks for coming by my blog today, feel free to leave me a comment it is always nice to hear from fellow crafters.

Card 4 of 7

Well by now you should have the whole concept of my 7 cards in 7 days theme, it's not really rocket science after all, more blog training for myself! I am really loving having some quality time to do general crafting again after the mayhem that is Christmas crafting and I hope you are enjoying popping by to see what I have made. Ok so here is card number 4:

You can really see how my themes evolve from one to another (or rather I use the left overs from one for the next, these are frugal time after all). So we still have the "simple" theme going on and we are staying with the Polka Dot Hearts aswell. Crumb Cake is the base cardstock and Very Vanilla layered onto it. I have simpy arranged the hearts and added the Curly Cute Sentitment. My photography is not improving over the week and I still can not take a straight photo, which I apologise for. So these are just Simple and fun really, what more can I say!

Thanks for stopping by, please come back tomorrow, when I have something slightly different to show you as tomorrow night my crafting crop, The Crazy Crafters, are re united for our first meet of 2013 and I always make them something small to celebrate the start of our crafting year!

Card 3 of 7

Welcome back again, so here is design number 3:

Ok so I am sticking to the "simple" theme with this one, but it is much more colourful and girlie then the previous. On to a simple white card I have added a red banner made of SU Polka Dot DSP, I have run it through the cuttlebug and die cut the hearts out, I have then stuck it to the card and with some different coloured hearts I have filled the gaps. I have embellished with some simple buttons and added the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Curly Cute stamp set. If you want to make up some simple girlie cards for your stash, than these are perfect.

Thanks for stopping by, feel free to leave me a comment and I hope you come back again tomorrow to see my next card.

7 Days, 7 Cards

Hi and a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I can not believe it has been nearly a month since I last posted. I have been so busy and what with being poorly over New Year, having various family members come to stay and a topping of snow I just haven't had time to post. I have however had a couple of occasions to craft and so I am going to make up for my lack of blogging by posting 7 different card projects over the next 7 days.
In an attemp to actualy get a head with my birthday cards for the year (before I am in the greenhouse sowing seeds) I have been making up packs of cards. So here is the first of my 7 cards

Ok so apart from the ribbon I have used all Stampin Up products, the card base in Crumb Cake, layered with Very Vanilla cardstoke Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive designer series paper from the Polka Dot stack. On to that I have layered with dimensionals a die cut piece of V Vanilla, which I have daubed the edges of and printed this gorgeous blossom branch form the Easter Blossoms stamp set. I have finished of with various sentiments and a ribbon bow, inside I have faintly stamped the branch again and again on the envelope.  I hope you like card 1 of 7. If you would like to order any of the products I have used then pop over to Stampin Sarah's Blog where she has a great demo for making ribbon flower embellishments.

Thanks for reading and pop back tomorrow for card number 2.
