Sweet Sayings and Envelopes.

I didn't use the "Sweet Sayings" card kits for Valentines cards, but have since used one pack to create Birthday, Thank You and note cards. I'm very impressed with the kits Stampin' Up are offering lately, they are both very affordable and excellent quality cards and envelopes.

Display Board

This is my first shot at creating a display board, I created this using a photo frame I purchased from The Warehouse and removed the glass. All the stamps and papers used were "Stampin' Up" however I have used some non SU embellishments ie: the clock, key, birdcage and crocheted doilie. I have since purchased 2 other display boards similar to "Printer Trays" I would like to get hold of some Printer trays, but so far haven't been able to find any. If anyone knows where to find these I would love it if you would leave me a comment. 

Get Well Card and gift cards

A dear cousin of mine is ill with a bad case of shingles so I made this card and sent it to her with a box of 3 x 3 gift cards and envelopes and gift tags, for her to use.

Cardstock: Whisper White, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, 

Stamps: French Foliage, Tag It, Sent with Love

Spiral Flower

I love flowers and decided to cover a polystyrene ball with flowers made with the new Spiral Flower die (love this die) and Sweet Sorbet DSP. Using a hot glue gun ensures the flowers stay in place.  It took me a little longer than I expected however I was pleased with the final result.
