Birthday Card for one of my fans

I made this card for a work collegue who believes that my cards are wonderful. I was so happy with her reaction when I gave her the card. In addition I was very please with the results.

What I used: I used my scallop circle to make the large flowers and used my white gel pen to put dots around the scallops. Then I put them together and used stickers to spell the message. Then on the right hand side I matted the mini card that I created with some paper, 3 flowers and ribbon.

The following photo is a detail of the heading.

Not bad!

Birthday Card for 5th Birthday Party













This card is a combination of things that I had a what to do with them. I had bought my daughter a pack of flower templates to do some craft and when i was tiding up my craft area I found them. I decided to use this one for my daughter's friend 5th birthday.

What I did: I used 2 of the flower templates to create the card. I scored the back one at about 2" from the edge to create a hinge so that I could stand the card. Then, I used some paper to create the various petals. I created a version of each and cut them a about 1/8" smaller all around to give that border to each item. Then I pasted each item. In the area where the petals joined the leaves instead of cutting and leaving a border, I put a ribbon around it. To the ribbon I attached with fibre a little 1" tag. In her I just wrote 5th.

I really liked the result. It turned up much better than I had anticipated.

I've become a Stampin Up Demonstrator

Well kind of.

I decide to join during the Scrapbook Special they had, where you paid a lower amount, but you only got the Scrapbook Additional Kit only. So my intention is to have a workshop at least every 2 months and perhaps organise a class in between depending on the upcoming events.

My lovely up line offered to do my first workshop because in my enthusiasm I had never even attended a workshop and so I have no idea how to run them. Anyway, my intention is to run one myself at the beginning of the next quarter.

I'm really looking forward to it. Plus in addition I participate in my up line's monthly stamping classes where I've been learning heaps (which I have been posting already and which I plan to continue still).



So a new adventure has began!!!!!
