Special Occasion Album

This lovely project was inspired by Jenny Moors. I'd not made a waterfall card before I tried this project - but I wanted to create a special card for a friend. This wasn't it as I had to give that one away (boohoo!) but I so enjoyed doing this that I had to make a second (and third) version. I used one of my favourite colour combinations - soft suede, crumb cake, baja breeze and very vanilla and some of my favourite stamps - baroque motifs. I was so pleased that this set carried on over into the new catalogue as I love using the scroll.

I'm planning to create another version of this card usingthe lovely beau chateau papers and fabulous new stamp set everything eleanor - another beautiful scroll that will be so useful! I'll post a picture once it's done!

Lovely new punch!

I thought you might like to see this card that I made a couple of weeks ago to swap with other demonstrators. Sorry for the sideways view - I don't know why it is like this - but I think you can get a pretty good view of the card anyway.

Again I am a little out of my comfort zone using the brights - but I love the colours and I think they work really well together! (pacific point, melon mambo, daffodil yellow and temping turquise)

The lacy "ribbon" is made with the fabulous new lace ribbon border punch. Again Stampin Up! have really thought about how it can be used. The 1" circle punch fits precisely behind the "flowers" in the lace border which allowed me to use multiple colours behind the lace. I also used the new scallop dots ribbon and melon mambo embossing powder to create the greeting. With just the addition of a rhinestone to add a little sparkle the card is done!
