Backyard Basics Birthday Card

Here we are back at the start of a new week. I hope you had a great weekend!

We took a visit to the zoo which was lots of fun…

Today’s card share continues the nature theme, and is especially sweet to create because of the matching Stampin’ Up! Backyard Basics bundle.

The bundle includes the stamp set and matching framelits to die cut the stamped images.

No hand cutting involved… LOVE that!

The card here was inspired by Kimberley Van Diepen and is on a Naturals White cardstock base, with a touch of the Epic Day This & That designer series paper.

Happy stamping,

As part of the 25-year anniversary celebration, Stampin’ Up! have been bringing back some of our favourite stamp images and combining them into new sets.
So far we’ve seen 6 of these sets, and there are still 5 more to come.

We have Best of Flowers, Best of Butterflies, Best of Shelli, Best of Christmas, Best of Birthdays and just this month we have the new Best of Sale-a-bration stamp set.

Did you know? Each set is available in clear-mount only. They are all AUD$25.95, and each set includes some great classic images plus a never-before-seen image! Some of the classic images may be in different sizes from the original.

This weekend I had a play with the fun Best of Birthdays Set.

This simple card uses a new colour combo for me… Sahara Sand, Crisp Cantaloupe, Marina Mist and a touch of Pistachio Pudding.

My card was inspired but this lovely creation (see below) which I was lucky enough to receive a little while ago. It’s the work of the very talented Julie Cocks.

I love the clever use of the mosaic punch to create the decorated edging on the ‘Congratulations’ banner. So clever!

Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

Happy stamping,

I was lucky enough to receive some beautiful happy mail in recent weeks.

I thought I’d share a bright and blingy card today for some weekend inspiration for you 🙂

I love how *~sparkly~* this card is in real life (ignore the number on it! LOL).

It was inspired by Brandy Cox, and created by Tricia Raineri. Tricia always comes up with gorgeous projects – you can check out her blog here. On this card she has used the Flower Shop bundle (page 94 Annual Catalogue) to stamp and punch those awesome flowers, and there’s just the perfect touch of bling. Thanks for letting me share this card, Tricia!
