Fast Friday - Week 18

For this week's Fast Friday post I have once again turned to the current challenge at Less Is More, where the recipe is to use the colours of your bedroom. Mine is cream, white and deep pink with accents of purple and gold (just the door/furniture handles & mirror frames in case you are wondering!).

I have used one of the images from the retiring Creative Elements stamp set as the main feature on a card base of Raspberry Ripple (one of the retiring in-colours) - I can't believe what a perfect match the colour is to my duvet cover! I have heat embossed the image with white embossing powder and then used the Rich Razzleberry marker (LOVE that name [and the colour itself]!) to colour in parts of the image.

Once again I am using one of the stamps from the current hostess set Banner Greetings for the sentiment - can you tell I REALLY, REALLY like this set and am going to miss it dreadfully when the new cattie comes out next month? This set can only be purchased if either a) you host a party with sales of £150+ or b) you personally place an order of £150+. Why not have a retiring list party - contact me for more details or place an order via my online store.

The gold glitter glue I have used to accent the image is non-SU but I am pleased to let you know that when the new cattie comes out on 1 July this colour will be added to SU's Dazzling Details range - hooray!

To make this project you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: Raspberry Ripple, Very Vanilla ♦ Stamps: Creative Elements, Banner Greetings (Hostess 2013/14) ♦ Ink: Rich Razzleberry marker, Versamark ♦ Tools/Accessories: Heat gun, White Embossing Powder, Gold Embossing Powder, Stampin' Dimensionals, Gold glitter glue (non-SU)

You can order from my online shop 24/7 or if you prefer contact me directly.

Well that's another card done for an upcoming birthday! Have a fabulous weekend enjoying the gorgeous UK weather - apparently it will be hotter in some parts of England today than in Brasil!

A la prochaine! Amitiés!

Last Minute Valentine's Day Card

Do you need an idea for a quick Valentine's Day cards?  If so, look no further:

Recipe
Card/Paper: SU Whisper White, SU Red Glimmer Paper
Ink: SU Basic Black, SU Real Red marker, SU Basic Black marker
Stamps: SU Delightful Dozen, SU Creative Elements
Tools/Accessories: SU Small Heart Punch, SU Stampin' Dimensionals, SU Crystal Effects

Below is a close-up of the greeting from Delightful Dozen - I have used a Real Red marker to fill in the outline  text of the word "Valentine" to give an added dimension.  And don't you just love that red glimmer paper which is from the latest mini catalogue?  Click the link on the right to look at all the lovely products - but you will need to be quick as the catalogue only runs until the end of April!

If you look back at the first photo I posted of this card you will also notice that I used a black marker to fill in the image from Creative Elements as well - that was probably the most fiddly bit of the whole card actually!

Bonne Saint Valentin! A la prochaine! Amitiés!
