With a Cherry on Top

This is another card made with the Everyday Classics stamp set by Papertrey Ink as I will be giving away a set of these stamps this week I thought I would show a few more examples of what can be achieved with the set.

Today's theme is very sweet! Both the cupcake and the sentiment are from the above stamp set. I used Sweet Blush and Berry Sorbet inks, ribbon, papers & cards all of which can be found at Papertrey Ink Nestabilities Labels dies and cute cherry brads.

With a cherry on the top.... although the cupcake stamp does come with a tiny cherry stamp to add to the top I had these mega cute brads that I thought just fit the bill nicely.

Thank You cards from Baby Jack and Family

I used the Anniversary Stamp Set (Everyday Classics)by Papertrey Ink for these Thank You cards this stamp set cannot be bought but I do have an extra set that I will be giving away to one lucky person later this week.

My brief for the Thank You cards was nothing fussy but still classy so hopefully I got this right, if not I'm sure my Daughter Lauren will let me know.

All stamped with a bashful blue ink onto cream card stock wrapped in a millennium blue satin ribbon and layered up with a light blue card stock.

Heartfelt Thanks wording from the punched out using the Stampin Up oval punches

The star was easy to cut around as it has a line border. stuck down onto the card with a foam pad to make it pop.

New York, New York!

New York Chic stamp made by Stamps Happen stamped in versafine black ink then coloured with Copic Sketch Markers, cut out using a quicKutz cookie cutter and another in the Burgundy wine base card colour, Basic Grey scrapbook paper for the background punched along the bottom edge with an Anna Griffin punch.

Finishing touches... sheer ribbon, velvet flower, buttons and stickles glitter glue.

Attention to detail...

I tied a sheer Burgundy wine ribbon around the card and under the stamped image then slotted the ends though 2 button and snipped the ends to finish.

The heart punch used id an Anna Griffin Punch that I bought in a sale, it can manage basic grey paper but that is as far a thickness as it will go.

I used stickles diamond on the backing card behind the punched shape.

A bit of Luxury

I walked into the house and a parcel greeted me on the mat (I love parcels)

Anyway after peeling back the wrapping I found a golden box on opening the box I saw cream tissue paper layered and sealed with a gold sticker I carefully peeled back the tissue to reveal the ribbons inside each ribbon was carefully wrapped in a thin piece of ribbon and a label attached saying was it was (how sweet is that?)

It isn't very often that a company goes the extra mile these days but I have to tell you I was more than thrilled with this parcel.

The ribbons are very high quality and worth every penny paid for them I will definitely use this company again.

Oh yes the company The Ribbon Shop

I think my button buying is becoming an obsession.

The button shown were bought from my local knitting shop.

Flippin' Christmas by Lapashe Designed by myself and Art work by Jim Harker

With this card I looked for an easy way to decorate the front of the card without taking the focus away from the Decoupage, my answer came in the form of snowflake punches and a bit of Stickles glitter glue, I thinks most of us own a snowflake punch or die shape.

All of Santa's work is done so it is time to relax with friends.

As you can see the snowfalkes were attached to the card with PVA glue the dabbed with Diamond Stickles glitter glue.
