Christening card for my niece.

So if you saw my post yesterday you will know this card was made for my nieces Christening. (If you didn't see yesterdays post pop back and take a look, i shared a cute card made for her adoption day)

'Inspired Events' is the perfect stamp set for those special baby / childrens occasions.
It's a photopolymer stamp set so you can see exactly where you are placing the beautiful script wording. 


I chose the colour 'Sweet Sugarplum' and just a hint of 'Smoky Slate' for the cross.

The gate / border panel effect is so pretty that you really don't need to use too much else with it. 
Rose buds are also in the same stamp set, i simply inked up the base flower image first but then stamped off onto some scrap paper to lighten it a shade. I then went back over with the more detailed flower stamp but kept the colour at it's fullest to let the detail stand out.  Once dry i gave a swish over with some 'Wink of Stella' to give a lovely glittery shimmer. 

I was given the honour of being godmother so the little 'god daughter' sentiment was taken from the 'Worlds Best Trophy' stamp set which is packed full of family names, as well as a trophy image, medal, cake etc. A great set with a whopping 53 stamps included for a brilliant price of only £24. 

We had a lovely weekend celebrating with her and she was as good as gold during her Christening.

Card front builder thinlits - Stampin Up

Image
When i first saw the 'Card Front Builder' thinlits die i must admit it didn't grab me straight away. I think i thought it looked like too much faff so i decided not to order it. Then i made that deadly mistake that most of us crafters do...i went on Pinterest!! Needless to say after spending half an hour (okay maybe 2 hours) browsing the cards made by some of my fellow demonstrators i was convinced i needed it too.  The design i have used was inspired by another Pinterest user 'Stamping Up North', I really liked the way they used the cut out trees to layer back onto the card so decided to make my own version. The background paper is from the 'Be Merry' designer series paper. I thought this particular sheet worked well with the 'Garden Green' and sprinkle of white looking like snow.  I ran a square of 'Whisper White' and the tree die though the big shot then used the cut out trees to mount over the top again but placed at differ

Blog Hop with the Simply Stylish Stampers!

Thank you for hopping over to my blog.  This is my first time joining in with a 'Blog Hop' and i'm delighted to be doing it with the other ladies from the 'Simply Stylish Stampers'. After being given a card making kit as a gift a few years back i found i really enjoyed creating projects. Later on i discovered Stampin Up and my love for papercraft has grown into what you might say is an obsession! My card today uses the fabulous NEW stamp set 'Wise Men From Afar' which is coming soon in the Autumn / Winter brochure. 'Star Of Light' and the coordinating thinlits dies also feature.  Taking a sheet of 'Night of Navy' cardstock i trimmed it down to 11 1/2 x 5 3/4. Then scored in half along the long side. 'Whisper White' cardstock measuring 5 x 5 inches. To create the night sky effect i used a combination of blue inks - 'Night of Navy', 'Tempting Turquoise' and 'Pacific Point'. You of cour
