Everything Eleanor Birthday Card

August is a month packed with birthdays around here and today I am going to share another birthday card with you - this time featuring one of my favourite stamp sets, Everything Eleanor.

This card was for a fellow lover of purple and the background is the gorgeous Concord Crush Designer Series Papers. Like the other 2010-12 In Colors (Pear Pizzaz, Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride and Peach Parfait) it is only going to be available until the end of September so I am enjoying using it while I can!  Here I have teamed it with Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder and Regal Rose

The framelet has been stamped with the lovely Parlour Prints background stamp inked in both Pool Party and Regal Rose and the flowers have been partially coloured with a blender pen. The greeting is from the aptly names Sweet Cake Stamp Set.

The In Color programme from Stampin' Up! means that we get five new colours every year, each one lasting just two years. I have seen the new In Colors and I know you are going to love them - that is one of the many perks of being a Demonstrator! If, like me you also love the 2010-12 In Colors of Concord Crush, Pear Pizzaz, Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade and Peach Parfait please make sure you get your supplies before the end of September, while they are still available. To order yours email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk

Sweet Cake Birthday Cards

I have some more Birthday Cards to show you today and these ones were made using the lovely Sweet Cake Stamp Set from the Summer Mini Catalogue.  August is a busy birthday month around here and I really should not leave cards to the last moment but I did and this stamp set is fantastic for putting together a quick and effective card.

I love how you can easily get a vintage feel with this stamp set and stamped it onto Very Vanilla Card and used soft warm colours to accentuate that.  I stamped off parts of the images bu taking scraps of paper to parts of it to give a shabby worn effect.  And in case someone who knows the recipients of these cards is reading this - the vintage & worn  is not a comment about the birthday boys!

The Sweet Cake Stamp Set is in the current Summer Mini Catalogue and like everything else in it is only available until the end of the month.  We do not know yet what, if anything is going to be available again in October so if there are things you want to order please email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk as soon as possible

Birthday Card featuring Tea Shoppe from Stampin' Up!

Yesterday a lovely friend of mine who loves to drink tea celebrated her birthday, so when I came to make a card for her I knew instantly which stamp set I wanted to use - the fantastic Tea Shoppe from Stampin' Up!  There are 10 fab tea themed stamps in this set giving so many possibilities...

With my Simply Scored! board making a gate fold card was easier than ever before.  The greeting on this card is from the Sweet Cakes Stamp Set and the papers are from the lovely Sweet Shop Specialty Collection.

While I had my Simply Scored! out I could not resist making a coordinating envelope - I loved how easy this was to do with the Simply Scored! Diagonal Plate.

If you would like to know more about the Simply Scored! Tools check this post and check out I Scored! an exclusive package designed to help you get the most from your new Simply Scored!
