Forever Blossoms cards

This class was so full on with all the leaves, flowers and buds, but the final cards made it all worthwhile. We used the Forever Blossoms Bundle

We used Flirty Flamingo card stock, a layer of Whisper White behind a patterned retired Flirty Flamingo DSP. The blossoms were coloured using Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. We finished off with a grouping of Pearls.

This card has no sentiment and is arranged in such a way that it can either be portrait of landscape.

We used Soft Suede card stock, the frame was made using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. The blossoms this time were coloured using Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade.

In this last card we used Sahara Sand card stock and some retired Christmas DSP. I love that this DSP can be used for something other than Christmas. The sentiment was stamped on to the oval from the Stitched Shapes dies. The flowers and leaves were then sponged with Sahara Sand and placed around the oval.

The pearls were embossed with Copper embossing powder.

I think you would agree, these cards are lovely and everyone loved making them.

Such a feminine lot of cards

Who wouldn't want to get a feminine card like these? All these cards were created using the lovely All Dressed Up Bundle

This first card we used white on white, with a pop of  Melon Mambo. We embossed the first layer with the Tin Tile 3D embossing folder. The sentiment layer was created using the Stitched Nested Labels Die.

The sentiment and lipstick was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, the lipstick trail was stamped in Melon Mambo. We then coloured the lippy in with Melon Mambo and Soft Suede watercolour pencils. To make the Lipstick pop we ran some Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and a cute Melon Mambo bow.

This is such a sweet and simple card. We used one of my favourite retired card stocks Berry Burst and retired DSP The shoes were stamped in Flirty Flamingo on Flirty Flamingo card stock and finished off with a tiny Rhinestone.

Finally our most glam card. We used Crumb Cake cardstock. The Whisper White layer was embossed, we had the choice of several different embossing folders

The perfume, shoe and lipstick was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, the perfume and lipstick was coloured using our Blends. The shoe was stamped on Lovely Lipstick.

All in all 3 very feminine cards. Don't you just love this stamp set? I do!

Farewell to a special uncle

Classes have been cancelled for a little while as my family and I were spending many hours up at the hospital with our very special uncle. He was the last of 3 uncles that meant a great deal to me and my brothers and sister.

Each uncle brought with him special qualities. This Uncle  was my story teller and the keeper of my conscience. I couldn’t wait to hear his stories about his trips with his brothers and his mates. As well as the shooting trips with Pop. And if ever I was tempted to do something wrong, I always thought “What would Uncle Bruce think of me!”

He never had children, but, his complete dedication to all his nieces and nephews was unswaying.. Not many bachelors would take on 3 teenagers, care for them like their own and guide them through their growing years.

We were fortunate enough in the last few days of his life, to be able to share some special time with him and tell him how loved he was.

The gathering we had for him yesterday was perfect, all the family and friends gathered and laughed about times spent with him. Memories were relived and at the end of the day, we all agreed that he would have thought this was a bonzer day.
