One of a Kind Farewell card

A very special member of the team I work with left us last week to move to the sunny shores of the Gold Coast and so she could complete her law studies full time. She will be sorely missed! This is the card I made for our team to sign. There are few people I think I could stamp the words “One of a Kind” on a card for … but Brie is one of those people!

I’ve used the retired Headline Alphabet for the word FAREWELL (thanks for lending it to me, Cherie!). I then cut out each letter and covered each letter with Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds and stuck them on with Dimensionals.

Here are some close ups …

The background stamp is En Francais and “you are one of a kind” comes from One of a Kind (in the current Spring Mini Catalogue), sponged around the edges. The colours are gorgeous … Purely Pomegranate textured cardstock and Pretty in Pink.

And to finish it off … a beautiful Styled Silver Hodgepodge frame (again, from the current Spring Mini Catalogue).

What do you think?

One of a Kind Birthday

It was my mother-in-law’s birthday yesterday so I made a special card because she’s really special. This is it …

This is the first card I have used the new Purely Pomegranate wide satin ribbon (available in the mini catalogue) and the whole card grew from my having to use this beautiful ribbon on the card. Then I found a fabulous card on Splitcoaststampers and it was my inspiration for all the rest … check out the other card here.

I used the stamp set One of a Kind with its coordinating Boho Blossoms punch, and the other stamp sets are Wonderful Words and Everyday Flexible Phrases. There is some gorgeous Silver Styled Hodgepodge Hardware (which I think looks stunning on cards!) and I’m starting to be brave and use my Crystal Effects (with Dazzling Diamonds) too.

We will be using One of a Kind with its coordinating Boho Blossoms punch at my Spring Mini Catalogue Launch Party tonight … so come along and have a play! Email me now to book your place.

Here are some close ups:

I sponged around the edges of the Regal Rose cardstock with Regal Rose ink.

And I paper pierced around the edge of the Very Vanilla cardstock.

Have a great day and thanks for looking 🙂

Spring Mini Launch Party – Monday 25 August 2008

The new Stampin’ Up! Spring Mini catalogue began on 1 August 2008.  Yeah!  To celebrate, I have been busy making lots of invitations like these two (shown below) for my customers, inviting everyone to my Spring Mini Catalogue Launch Party on Monday 25 August 2008 from 7.30pm onwards at my home in Parklea (Sydney, Australia).  I hope you’ve all received them in the post by now 🙂

This is a close up of the first group of invites I made using the new stamp set from the Spring Mini called One of a Kind and the complementing Boho Blossoms punch.  If you come along to my Launch Party you can make a card using this stamp set and the Boho Blossoms punch … it will be fun!

This is a close up of the second group I made using the stamp set from the Idea Book & Catalogue called Looks Like Spring and the complementing Spring Flower Bouquet punch.

I also used the stamp sets Priceless (down the side) and Everyday Flexible Phrases.  Even if you have not received a hand made invitation, you are still welcome and formally invited to come to my Launch Party.  Bookings are essential, so if you haven’t booked already, email me now!
