Fast Friday - Week 17

Have you heard Stampin' Up! will have a new annual catalogue coming out on 1 July and guess what that means? Mais oui bien sûr - a retiring list! So grab those products while you can - either click on the link in the side bar to see the list or go direct to my online shop!

I have a lot of friends and family who have birthdays in June, and still have some I need to make for upcoming events so thought I would make a quick start with this card which I rustled up in 10 minutes using 4 retiring products - Beautifully Baroque, Bring on the Cake (love the sentiments in this set), En Français (so sad this is going!) and the in-colour ruffle stretch ribbon.

To make this project you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: Pistachio Pudding, Basic Black ♦ Stamps: En Français, Beautifully Baroque, Bring on the Cake ♦ Ink: Pistachio Pudding, Black Stazon ♦ Tools/Accessories: Pistachio Pudding Ruffle Stretch trim, Stampin' Dimensionals, Basic pearls

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

Edited to add - I am not surprised but En Français has now sold out!

A la prochaine! Amitiés!

Shades of Blue

The latest challenge over at Less Is More is a colour one and the theme is shades of blue.

This is my entry using the negative of the exclusive SU Little Leaves sizzlit die:

Card Receipe
Paper/Card: SU Whisper White, SU Night of Navy, SU Pacific Point, SU Tempting Turquoise
Stamps: SU Clearly for You
Ink: Versamark
Tools/Accessories: Big Shot, SU Little Leaves Sizzlit die, SU corner rounder (punch), SU heat gun, SU Rhinestones, SU White embossing powder, SU stampin dimensionals

This is an arty farty angle, which shows the depth by raising the die-cut negative with lots of foam pads and some lovely bling!

I did have a couple of other attempts!  This second one I like but could image Mandi & Chrissie telling me off for not enough white space!  Also I don't think it has the wow factor that the first one has. So what do you think?

Card Receipe
Paper/Card: SU Whisper White, SU Marina Mist, SU Pacific Point, SU Tempting Turquoise, SU Night of Navy
Stamps: SU En Français
Ink: SU Night of Navy
Tools/Accessories: Big Shot, SU Little Leaves Sizzlit die, SU Rhinestones, SU Whisper White organza ribbon

This last one I really liked but felt was too much of a CASE of card by Carly Robertson and therefore was not appropriate to enter into a challenge. Nevertheless thanks for the inspiration Carly!

Card Receipe
Paper/Card: SU Whisper White, SU Marina Mist
Stamps: SU En Français, SU Curly Cute
Ink: SU Night of Navy, SU markers: Night of Navy, Not Quite Navy, Tempting Turquoise, Marina Mist, Pacific Point
Tools/Accessories: Big Shot, Butterfly die (non-SU), SU Rhinestones, SU Whisper White organza ribbon, SU stampin dimensionals

If you are interested in how you could get hold of the SU exclusive Little Leaves sizzlit die, why not contact me to find out more as I have special offers for July - please see this post for more details.

A la prochaine!  Amitiés!
