Sending a Happy Hello

This is the 3rd card from the Everyday Classic stamp set that I will be giving away this week, I wanted to show just how versatile the stamp set is and also give the lucky winner some ideas on how it can be used.
Toady's card is stamped in black versafine ink the main image is cut out using Nestabilities circles one plain white and one scalloped in black card.
The tiny tea cups are stamped directly onto the base card, then a polka dot paper then another layer using the swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder, then the black ribbon tied in a knot then the main image on top fixed with foam pads.


A close up picture of the Tea cup and sentiment stamp, one of the many things I love about Papertrey Ink stamps is the clarity you get with all of them, even the stamped words come out crisp and clean every time.




Attention to detail.... Each of the main images in the stamp set has a younger sibling a Mini Mo if you like! or in sensible talk a miniature replica,
In this card it is a miniature tea cup stamped 3 times along the bottom edge of the card.

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.
