I needed a card in a hurry the other day (you know, last minute and all 
), and remembered seeing these cards on Andrea Walford’s blog. This design appealed to me, it’s super easy to customise for the recipient AND occasion.
Since I was in a real hurry, I decided to pretty much directly copy the Cameo Coral card. The Tempting Turquoise card is almost the same as the sample, but I changed the decorative accents. The red card shows an easy way to adapt this design to Valentine’s Day. All of the cards use paper from the Pink Flamingo Designer Series package, isn’t it pretty?
If you have any questions about these cards feel free to email me.
Remember you only have a couple of days left to sign up, or order the kit for the Clips Assortment Class on February 19th. Don’t miss out!
I just love the Animal Crackers stamp set – it’s perfect for both kids and adults cards. The giraffe stamp in particular is wonderful for baby cards. I thought today I would show you a couple of cards I have made using this stamp set.
- I coloured the giraffe using my blender pens and Summer Sun, Chocolate Chip and Kiwi Kiss inks.
- The designer series paper is from the Good Morning Sunshine pack – it’s so bright and cheerful.
- I added a piece of scalloped Chocolate Chip cardstock to the right hand side.
- Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon adds the final touch. This ribbon is soooo easy to tie into bows.
- I have stamped the bunny onto Whisper White cardstock and coloured him/her using my blender pens again and Going Gray and Pumpkin Pie ink.
- Tea Party Designer Series paper adds lovely pastel Easter colours to this card. I’ve layered the designer paper onto Almost Amethyst cardstock.
- The same colour has been used for the scallop circle.
- ‘Easter Wishes’ is from the super versatile Occasional Greetings stamp set.
- Taffeta Ribbon again, this time Pretty in Pink, adds a gorgeous touch to the card.

I’m so far behind on my scrapbooking, that I thought I had better at least start scrapping some of the photos from our trip to Disneyland last year. This is one of my favourite photos, Emma was hamming it up for the camera while we waited for Steve, Kim and Chloe to ride Big Thunder Mountain again. (Emma had been on the ride once, and that was enough for her!)
- The page layout is from Valerie Salmon’s Got Sketch blog
- Pretty in Pink makes a gorgeous background colour – it matches Em’s Minnie Mouse cap perfectly!
- I have used LOTS of Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper on this page. Everything you see is from this pack, aren’t the flowers just gorgeous?
- The button centers on the flowers are from the Sherbet Button pack in the Summer Mini.
- I coloured the chipboard letters with a Summer Sun Watercolour Crayon. I then applied Crystal Effects to make it nice and shiny.
I fully intended to post a photo of the card I made for Chloe the other day, but I got sidetracked finishing off her birthday cake… I find it really difficult to make cards for my girls because I like to do something a little different for them, and they pretty much see everything I make. I settled on CASEing the layout of the card we are making in the Clips Assortment class. CASEing cards is a fantastic way to get started, and is especially effective when you’ve left making a card until the last minute
I decided to use the Hello Again stamp set – it’s cute and funky, just like Chloe!- The card base is Kiwi Kiss cardstock
- A piece of Kaleidescope Designer Paper (from the Summer Mini) is layered onto a slightly larger piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock.
- On the right hand side, a scalloped piece of Rose Red cardstock adds interest.
- I have using my trusty Mat Pack, together with a White Gel Pen to create faux stitching on the left hand side.
- The six Very Vanilla circles are 1 1/4″ and the Chocolate Chip circles underneath are 1 3/8″.
- I randomly stamped images from Hello Again onto three of the circles.
- The Retro Remix Stampin’ Around Wheel features on two of the circles.
- The number 7 is stamped in Rose Red, and is from the retired Typeset Numbers set.
- ‘Let’s Celebrate’ is from the On Your Birthday stamp set.

I thought I would show you another one of the cards we will be making at the Super Saturday Stamp a Stack Class. This card uses the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalogue.
Stampin’ Up! have announced that until February 28th, $2 from the sale of every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set will be donated to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund. You can read more about it here.
This layout is taken from an old Stampin’ Up! catalogue, it’s perfect for a variety of occasions – just swap the image on the squares. We will be making two of each of four different cards at the Stamp a Stack class. As with all of the cards, the sentiment can be changed to suit your own personal preference.
I still have some places left at the Stamp A Stack class at 10am on Feb 6th. If you would like to attend, or purchase the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set please give me a call on 9733 0325 or 0425 815 857.
Today I’ve used one of the new stamp sets in the Summer Mini Catalogue – I {Heart} Hearts.
I needed to make an anniversary card for Steve (today is our 10th wedding anniversary), and of course I left it until the last minute. I was looking through some of Kristina Werner’s ‘A Year of Cards’ classes from 2009, and found the perfect layout for a card.
- The card base is a piece of Kraft cardstock (the perfect neutral!)
- The layer of pink designer series paper is from the Candy Lane package. It has tiny vanilla dots which are difficult to see in the photo.
- A piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock has been punched using the Eyelet Border punch. I attached it to the designer paper, and covered the join with some Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon
- The chipboard letters are from the On Board Timeless Type pack. I coloured them in using a Chocolate Chip Watercolour Crayon. I then covered them in Crystal Effects for a glossy finish. They have been adhered to the card using Tombow (super strong!) adhesive.
- The heart from I {Heart} Hearts has been stamped in Ruby Red Classic Stampin’ Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock. I attached a button from the Button Bouquet pack using a Mini Glue Dot.
