I'm back!

I've been a bit quiet for the past few days - but I will be posting new cards soon. I spent most of today card making - finalising my samples for the men's card classes that I am running on Saturday and Thursday. I've also been playing with my new owl punch - great fun! I'll show you some of the results in the next few days.

I had to make a few birthday cards in a hurry as I had a few come along all at once! I needed something quick and simple- so I based this on the make and take that I did for my lauch party. I think it worked quite well. I really like the simply said stamp set - I think it is very versatile and be used for so many different occasions.

This is another really quick and easy card that was made by Cate (Blueangelcrafts). She has used some of the beautiful springtime vintage paper and combined it with the four frames stamp set and punch. A touch of the rose red seambinder ribbon and it's complete!

A slight change of pace! A very simple and elegant card but Oh so easy! I used the embossing folder on shimmery white card stock, stamped and embossed the perfect punch image in silver, used the modern label punch and added a touch of the white organza ribbon. It really did take just minutes!

A perfect card for a weddding, engagement or anniversary.

This is the final motor cycle card for a while - promise. It seems like I've been a bit obsessed recently - but I have been making other cards too! I used the sense of time stamp set to create the background and the glass glitter in baja breeze to create the "road" effect.

This is a more vintage look using the motorcycle stamp. This time I used Soft Suade and Not Quite Navy combind with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder to add texture and slightly aged the very vanilla card with the ink. It's amazing how a simple change in colours and slightly different finish can change the look of a single stamp. I do hope you've enjoyed exploring the different ways that this one stamp can be used.

It's funny really. I've never been that fond of red - but I was given some of the real red card stock at a training event and (much to my surprise) immediately put it to use! I love this card - it's very classic. Unfortunately you can't really see the effects of the embossing and crystal effects in the picture. I do love the look that the ribbon gives to the card - it's such a great finishing touch!
