Hey Girl! card using Stampin' Up! supplies

Hi all

I loved the stamp set I've used for today's project as soon as I spotted it in the catalogue. I could just see the possabilities and the creative juices were flowing.

So many options and that's what makes a great stamp set in my opinion.

The card I made was for a challenge I took part in this weekend to make a card with a tag.

I stamped onto DSP from the Cherry on Top Stack and fussy cut them to make her 'clothes'.and handbag. The shoes and bow were made by stamping onto Watermelon Wonder and fussy cut. Ink pads and aqua painters were used to colour the image in and  I used the Crushed Curry Stampin' write marker to add some extra definition to the hair, Tempting Turquoise for the eyes and Watermelon Wonder for the lips.

The final touch was some Crystal Effects on her eyes, lips and shoes.

Don't worry about lining everything up, the stamps are photopolymer so you'll see exactly where you're stamping.

Teenage birthday wishes - Stampin' Up!

Hi all

Can't believe that my little Nephew (who is in fact taller than me!) is going to be 13 this week. Obviously that calls for a card. He always opens his cards from me with a 'I hope this is handmade' Well of course!

Here's how to make it:

• Create a standard A6 card from Smoky Slate card 
• Score the front panel in half and fold back, creasing the fold with a bone folder
• Cut a piece of DSP to fit the front panel then use the other side for the inside of the card 10x14.5cm
• Cut 2 circles using circles framelits one from Whisper White and the other Bermuda Bay
• Stamp candles in Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush then the flame in Daffodil delight. I find using a piercing mat under your card will give a sharper stamped image when working with photopolymer stamps.
• Cut the 13 from Cucumber Crush using File Tabs die and glue with fine line of Multi Purpose Liquid Glue
• Put Glue on Bermuda Bay circle on half the circle and glue to front panel
• Add the stamped circle with dimensionals
• Stamp Birthday Wishes in Cucumber Crush trim to size and create fishtail ends with Paper Snips, adhere to stamped image with dimensionals

I glued a piece of Whisper white on the back to add my message and stamped greeting.
