Stampin' Up Tea Shoppe - inspired by Mother's Day Cuppas

Well these cards are like "chalk and cheese" to me even though the layout is the same. The second "psychadelic" coloured card was inspired by a "colour challenge" and these colours certainly took me for a good walk outta my comfort zone, however in the end I liked my layout. I was inspired enough by all the "Mother's Day" coffees I had today to make one in colours more suited to me! It was probably all the caffeine I consumed today that fired me up enough to make it tnite! lol ! Think the second card is actually more the way I'm probably feeling now after so many coffees than the first one! Hope everyone had a great day and got spoilt like all good Mums deserve for at least one day of the year! So enjoyed the dinner I didn't cook tnite even though it was takeaway!

Mother's Day card with some "flower power"!

Here's a couple of Mother's Day cards I made with a bit of "flower power"! This is the first time I have used my "Blossom Builder Punch" and I added a little bit of quilling in the centre. They were actually inspired by a card made by Mary Fish (Stampin Pretty) who is a US demo TFS! I have to admit i don't get very fired up to make Mother's Day cards these days cause I lost my Mum about 18 months ago but it's still a happy day for all the rest of us Mums. I will keep my fingers crossed that my DD is a "chip off the old block" and secretly make a creation of her own for me like she did last year! That's the best gift of all in my book!

Stampin' Up Punch Art Cars, birthday, father's day & valentine.

I really enjoyed making these male cards, there is just not as many options for males as there are for female cards!! Am really into using Patterns Designer Series Paper Stacks from Stampin' Up at the moment as well they are really beautiful and so easy to co-ordinate because they only have the colour you really want and need to put with your projects. The specialty papers are great too but they usually have too many colours on the one sheet to deal with at once. I'm gonna buy all the paper stacks now!!

Punch Art with Stampin' Up punches - teddy and panda card making ideas

I made one punch art teddy and loved it so much I had to make more and then the panda evolved as well. All made from Stampin' Up punches, card stock, DSP and stamps. Love the side step dresser template - obviously!!
