Stampin' Up! Australia - Gold Wedding Card - I Love Lace - Fusion & CAS(E) This Sketch

Hi there

Fusion and CAS(E) This Sketch have a fun challenge at the moment because they have COMBINED challenges!! YAY!

When I saw the inspiration image, I immediately thought of a golden shimmery wedding card. There's also a sneak peek stamp from the NEW 2014-2015 Stampin' Up! catalogue! :)

I used quite a few different elements on this card....a tag....stamped in gold and then clear embossed, ribbon, linen thread, an embossed & layered butterfly, vellum, foil, sequins AND smooch spritz!!! 

Not very CAS, but it looks so nice in real life, very golden and shimmery. :)

Hope you like my card. :)

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Australia - Confirmation Card - Fresh Prints DSP

Hi

This is a 'Confirmation' card that a lady at work asked me to make. Her 8 year old nephew was being confirmed last week. I realised that once you put a cross on a card, it is REALLY hard for it not to look like a sympathy card....so I dipped into my Fresh Prints DSP (see image below) and found some bright but tasteful designs that would suit an 8 year old boy and complement the crumb cake cross. 

I made my own stencil by cutting a cross shape into a post it note....sponged in Crumb Cake and stamped over the top in the Hardwood background stamp. The sentiment from Sweet Essentials is heat embossed with White EP on Coastal Cabana CS. 

I confess that this card to ages to get out of my head onto paper.....but I am pleased with the final result.

Here's the Fresh Prints DSP.....it is beautiful!......and only available until 30 June!

Hope you like my card!

You can shop any time at my online store - the retirement list is up so don't forget to stock up on those favourites and finish up that wish list! 

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Mixed Bunch

Dear Stampin' friends,

 

Is this a card that isn't for a challenge blog???  Why yes.....yes, it is!! LOL
This card is based on a template that we SU demonstrators got in one of our bi-monthly magazines, Impressions. It is a great resource and one that always contains fantastic ideas.

I liked this card because it used some of the new In Colors and had that gorgeous layered flower! :) 

 

Happy Stampin'
Cheers
Alison xx
