Cherry Cobbler Vintage products

Hello Everyone,

I've made it my personal challenge to try to use up some older vintage products before the New Year.  It seems to be a good time for a cleanout and clear up some bits and pieces from my desk.  The patterned paper used here is from a vintage pack called Festival of Prints which I've used on both of the cards I'm showing you today.

Both cards use a base of Very Vanilla card and are trimmed with dsp and Cherry Cobbler card. 

Here's the first one.



The Friendship stamp used here comes from the stamp set From my Heart.  I've teamed it with some Brushed Gold card which I've cut with the Window Collection framelits and its mounted over a Cherry Cobbler Banner.  I've also added a tiny butterfly cut from the Beautiful Wings die.




Here is the second one

I actually found the Greeting panel when I was on a search for something else, and decided it was time to just use it.  It uses a non SU die, but the Greeting is definitely from Stampin Up, and its an old fav Vintage set.  I know just the person to give this card to, one of my oldest friends - My Dear Kind and Wonderful Friend.  It's kind of a joke between us, because Aussies just don't refer to each other in that way.  Lol Smiles.  It will make her laugh.


I added one of my fav layered butterflies using the Papillon Potpourri stamp set.


I finished this card off with the Scallop Border punch. 

Both of the cards



I'm happy with my efforts today and I will endeavour to use up some more bits over the coming days where possible.

Enjoy your weekend.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
