A Mix of Father's Day Cards

Here are some of the Father's Day cards
 I have been making this year.
All products are Stampin Up, current and retired.

I was challenged to come up with a card for Dad 
using non-traditional stamps and colours.
This card has a pastel feel about it.

Non-Traditional Christmas Cards & a Tag

I rarely step away from the
 traditional red, white and green for
Christmas cards and decorations.
But given a challenge to use some non-traditional colours
and here is what I came up with.
I have used Stampin Up's Epic Day This and That
Designer Series Paper and Washi Tape.
A little bling, some ornaments and the cards are finished.

Australian Cardmaking Stamping & Papercraft

I have had 2 cards published this month.
One in the Reader's Gallery and another card
showcasing ways to use negative images.
Magazine Vol 19 No 10.
I have been busy making cards, just need
the time to edit and put up on the Blog.

Male card with a Twist!

For this male card I wanted to steer clear of the
browns and blues, the colours I normally reach
for when making a male card.
I wanted it to be bright but not too bright.
Not my normal style but then male cards 
are not my preferred card. :) 
All products Stampin Up.

July Team Challenge

Our team challenge this month was to choose
a card out of the current Stampin Up catalogue
and using new products recreate the card with
our own spin on it. I picked out a card on Page 53
and came up with this card.
All products Stampin Up.

Ruby Anniversary with Stampin Up



I was asked to make a card for a friend
 for a 40th Wedding Anniversary
and they asked for red. You can't get more red than 
Stampin Up's Real Red. Add some Whisper White,
hearts, glitter paper and ribbon and I am done.
I decorated an envelope to match, with hearts, of course.
