Cards in a Flash.

 These are two of the Cards that we will be making at my Workshop, here, this Wednesday.
I still have some spaces so let me know if you would like to join us!
The title of the Workshop is Cards in a Flash. We will be using Connie Stewart's technique of using a card base and two flash cards for each card.
You punch pieces from parts of the coloured Card Stock which will not show as  the Whisper White or Very Vanilla strip is on top of it.
I love the Sale-a-bration set Feeling Sentimental as it is so useful for men's cards.
The more Mustard and Basic Grey Card Stock was left over from an Afternoon Daydream Simply Scrappin Kit.In the Kit they were teamed up with Pool Party and Primrose Petals.

The Aviary Stamp Set is one which I have not used in a while. I find that it is very versatile as there are so many elements that you can use.
The Itty Bitty flowers along the Scallop Trim border were stamped and punched out with the matching Itty Bitty stamp and punch.
The sentiment is from Petite Pairs punched out with the Oval Punch. The Scallop Oval was used for the base.

More Amore, Hearts A Flutter and Pinwheels.

 Above are two versions of another card which we made at the Card Workshop, I ran at my house on Thursday, showcasing products from the new Catalogue.
I started with a Pool Party base and stamped it using the flower image from the Bloomin Marvellous Sale-a-bration Stamp Set.Some of the Delicate Details Lace Strip was used on the left hand card. The strip on the right card was punched out with a Stampin Up punch which is sadly now retired.
Other products used on the cards include Lace from the Artisan Embellishments Kit, the Laser Cut Hearts from the More Amore Designer Paper, Designer Builder Brads, the Hearts A Flutter Bundle, a sentiment from the You Are Loved Stamp Set and the Sale-a-bration Vintage Verses, First Edition Speciality Paper and some Melon Mambo 1/2 inch Scallop Dots Ribbon.
I also added a Large Pearl Basic Jewel - Love these!

For the fourth card I used the very popular Pinwheel Die and the Sunshine and Sprinkles Paper cut out using the  Scallop Square Bigz Clear Die which cuts a 4 3/8 inch Scalloped Square. I also used it to cut a Scalloped strip out of a piece of Melon Mambo from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack. The sentiment is from the set of stamps which goes with the Pinwheel die called Wishes Your Way. It is punched out with the Modern Label Punch.
By the way the Silver Mini Brads are a perfect size to use with the Pinwheel die.

Sale-a-bration Feeling Sentimental.

This is one of the 6 cards the ladies made at my Stamp a Stack Sale-a-bration Workshop last night.
We used the Sale-a-bration Feeling Sentimental set of stamps. This is one of the four stamps in the set.
There is also a Penny Farthing Bicycle, a Ferris Wheel and the sentiment "Celebrate."
I have seen blue versions of the telephone box on the internet for Dr. Who. I prefer the traditional red version as I am not a Dr.Who fan.I was always afraid of the Daleks as a child!
 I have used the Labels Framelits Dies and one of the three Textured Impressions Embossing Folders Adorning Accents for the white strip with the little hearts.
The Ribbon is Real Red 1/8 inch Taffeta Ribbon.
The Sentiment stamped in white and highlighted with a white gel pen gives a slight chalk board effect.
To be truly authentic it would need to have some white smudges on the black card stock!
