With Sale-a-bration almost over I wanted to post another fun card I did called a Pinwheel Card using the Everyday Enchantment Designer Paper (as well as Attic Boutique)  These are fun cards to make.  For detailed instructions please feel free to email me.

The Poppy Parade Background was stamped with the large En Francais Stamp.  I love this background stamp, I use it often and gives a nice soft script.  The greeting is from Elementary Elegance and was stamped with Early Expresso.  Taffeta ribbon to match of course!

In the middle of the pinwheel is a brad from the Everyday Enchantment Brad & Ribbon Bundle and then it was popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.

It isn't too late to get those Sale-a-bration items!  Order online at http://www.heatherfosbery.stampinup.net/ and go to "Shop Now" or send me an email and I can help you out.

I hope you enjoy and Happy Stamping! Heather

Triple Treat Flower - Quick & Easy

I wanted to share this card in two slightly different ways, the only changes are the ribbon, brad and then the flower colours are reversed.  The Stamp Set is called Triple Treat Flower and it is a single stamp.  You can actually earn it free right now during Sale-a-bration or it is also available for purchase in the Big Idea Book & Catalogue.  Remember, the catalogue will now go until the end of May and the new Catalogue will be released on June 1st instead of July 1st.  How exciting!!

I used soft colours to go with the Attic Boutique Designer Paper, when I first saw this paper I have to admit I wasn't completed sold but then started to play and it became a new favourite.  It is in the current Occasions Mini.  The flower was stamped twice first in Pool Party and then Soft Suede.  The layers are punched using the Fancy Flower & 5 Petal Punch (the 1/2 inch circle also matches this flower)  The brads are from the Everday Enchantment Brad & Ribbon Bundle. 

The greetings are from a great stamp set called Short & Sweet and was stamped in Soft Suede.  This a handy one to have because it covers the basic greetings but also has cute little images to go with them!

I hope you enjoy!

Birthday Card Sale-a-bration Style

Sale-a-bration is definitely one of my favourite times of the Stampin' Up! Year because you get that extra bonus of a free stamp set, paper, ribbon the choices are endless!  I love getting FREE stuff.  There is still time to order, you can easily do it online at http://www.heatherfosbery.stampinup.net/ or send me an email!  Sale ends March 31st

Here is a birthday card we did using punches with fabulous Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper and the Outlined Occasions Stamp Set.  First we stamped the greeting in Black Ink and then coloured using Pool Party & Lucky Limeade Stampin' Write Markers.  Then adhered a strip from the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch with a layer of matching ribbon (from Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Bundle) behind the piece of Vanilla Cardstock and adhered to the Pool Party layer. 

The presents were punched out using the 1 1/4 inch square punch and layered onto a punched Vanilla 1 3/8 inch square punch layer.  The bow is actually from one of our fabulous Layering Punches.  It is called Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer.  These are set to three different choices so the last one was selected, trimmed and adhered behind the present.  They are popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals to add a little depth.  Super Quick & Easy Card, punches make life so much simpler.  Enjoy!

Happy Stamping!  Heather

10 days Left to Sale-a-brate!

I can't believe the beautiful weather we have been having here in the Ottawa area, it is like summer!  March will soon be over as well as Sale-a-bration but it is not too late to take advantage of the greatest promotion of the year!

So, to the card!  It is a square 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch card so you could use a square envelope or a standard because it fits into both!  I started with Calypso Coral for the background, added a sponged vanilla layer and then a layer of Designer Paper (SAB's Everyday Enchantment) 

I stamped the Fresh Vintage Image 4 times in Pool Party and punched using the 1 1/4 inch square.  The flowers were punched with the 1/2 inch Circle.  This stamp set also goes with the Postage Square Punch.  I absolutely love this stamp set and the coordinating paper, ribbon & brads.

I finished off with some ribbon & a bow then added a bit of bling by using the Illuminating Top Coat Smooch (works kinda like putting on nail polish!) to let the flower sparkle.  Of course, no surprise the Modern Label Punch was used to pop out the Birthday Greetings (from On Your Birthday)  Voila!  Quick & Easy but the secret is ours!

Happy Stamping!  Heather

Mixed Bunch with Sale-a-bration Goodies

So excited to share a bit of the Sale-a-bration products with you.  Don't forget to sign up for my Sale-a-bration Kick Off Party taking place on Sunday, January 22nd at 1:30.  Make & Takes, Door Prizes (lots!)

Here is an altered version of one of the cards we will do next weekend.  The flower is from Mixed Bunch and punched using the new Blossom Punch.  There are actually two flowers punched out.  The first was adhered to the card base, the second one I took a bone folder to curl the edges of the flower.  An Everyday Enchantment Brad was placed in the middle before popping up on the first flower.

I also used the Everyday Enchantment Designer Paper (so fabulous and love this paper!) and the ribbon.  The two strips of Lucky Limeade down the side of the DS Paper is the new SAB Organdy Ribbon, you get a roll of Lucky Limeade & Calypso Coral plus 30 awesome brads available as a SAB item.

Looking forward to seeing you next Sunday.

Happy Stamping!  Heather
