Happy 40th Birthday

Morning everyone,

Okay, so it's Saturday and someone special's birthday today - so I'm back with the card :) To celebrate her big 4-0, she's having a party this evening with the theme of black and white, so I thought I'd make a card to compliment her colour scheme and just had to open up my new Speciality Papers just for her. Below is the card I made that she hopefully will receive this morning.

Speciality Paper - Groom Card


Close Up - Sparkly Numbers


These numbers have been stamped with the En Francais background stamp and heat embossed with Clear embossing powder. The edges have been edged with the 2-Way Glue Pen and covered with Dazzling Diamonds.

These champagne glasses have been stamped with a stamp from the Cheers To You set of 6 stamps and heat embossed with Silver embossing powder. The glasses have been filled with Dazzling Diamonds and Crystal Effects have been used to give a glistening 3D effect.

Field Training Day - What a lot of lovely cards!

Hi all,

As promised here is a picture of all the swap cards I received from Friday's Field Training Day. As you can see there are a variety of styles and layouts, colours and stamp sets used.


These three cards below are the Make & Takes that we made during Field Training Day. How lucky were we - we each received a brand new stamp set called "Forest Friends" so that we could make our Make & Take cards! What a lovely surprise!!! :) This set is available to buy from the Mini Catalogue from Wednesday 1 April. The new striped grosgrain ribbon is so soft and gorgeous! What a lot of fun we had that evening :)

You can click on the left hand side to view the new Mini Catalogue as a pdf file. Or email me if you'd like a personal copy to flick through in your leisure.


Bye for now,

Alex

What a Lovely Weekend...

WOW: I loved the Stampin' Up! Field Training Day on Friday. It was so much fun and I got to meet lots of lovely other SU Demonstrators :) We all swapped our swap cards that we made and I loved seeing everyone elses too (shall post a picture of them all soon). It was really good to see the variations in cards and luckily there were plenty of cards with different stamp sets, layouts and colours - no two cards were the same :) It was very inspirational and a great evening and start to a relaxing weekend.

Here's my swap card that I made for those that took part in the swap:
