Celebrating Love!


Somehow 13 years have passed since my brother's Wedding Day,
 so I made this super simple card for their Anniversary.
I have used 13 silver hearts, one for each year!
 
Ink & Card stock: Perfect Plum and Silver Glimmer Paper
Stamps: Retired sentiment set I have lurking around ;-)
Misc: Small heart punch and Scalloped heart from the New Hearts Collection Framelits die for the Big Shot
 
Of course later in the week it was Valentine's Day and this lucky girl's Valentine arrived home from working away last week :-)

As with all of my cards simplicity is the theme, and I had been itching to do some paper piercing, less is definitely more!
 
 
Card stock: Cherry Cobbler, Naturals Ivory & Red Glimmer Paper
Stamp set: Retired and SAB Pretty Petites on envelope
Misc: Essentials Paper Piercing Pack & Paper piercing tool,
Junior alphabet die for glimmer paper 
 
The inside of the card looked like this . . .
 
 
This is the sentiment stamp set Wacky Wishes which I earned with hostess points so it was FREE, and gives just the sort of look I love, but all the work is done for you - just the way I like it! Hope you have all celebrated with your loved ones.
 
Keep on crafting, Gen xxx

Fabulous February!

How exciting!
The sensational Spring/Summer Mini Catalogue is now available for everyone to see - just click on the link on the right :-)
 
I obviously have a small stash of new season goodies waiting to be showcased, when I get round to it, as always I am running behind!! I did however use the fabulous 7/16" Natural Trim Ribbon on the Ribbon weaving card in my previous post - so now you know where to get it!
 
To continue with my recurring theme of catching up, here are a couple of recent Birthdays,
 
 
Lovely Louis has somehow reached 15, and so this card was inspired by his present (see below), this is of course a continuation of my Sale-A-Bration obsession!
 
 Stamp sets: Pretty Petites. Celtic stamp set (not SU)
Card stock: Brushed Silver, Basic Black & Silver Glimmer Paper
Ink: Whisper White
Misc: Curly Label & Petitie Curly Label Punch, Simple Numbers Bigz Die
 
 
Today is Gary's Birthday and his card looks like this . . .
 
 
With this card I have used Sale-A-Bration and In-Colours of Island Indigo and Pool Party, and I have used the Sensational Borders Scoring Plate (from the New Spring/Summer Mini Catalogue), to create the zigzag emboss at the edge of the card - whoo hoo!
 
Keep on crafting, Gen xxx
