THANKS

There are so many essential people in our communities who continue to work, while the rest of us self-isolate or are quarantined.

I decided to make this card to leave for our ‘postie’ today. [If you don’t live in Australia, we call our mail/postal delivery men and women – posties – because we love to shorten names].

I appreciate that she continues to deliver our letters everyday so I wanted to THANK her.

I hope she likes it!

It also meant that I could continue using the new ORNATE GARDEN SUITE.

I decided to use my sponge daubers to soften the Whisper White card stock which looked a bit stark when the card was finished. There are never mistakes in card making just creative solutions.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

mmm … Michele

ORNATE GARDEN GIFT VOUCHER POUCH

Patty Bennett recently posted some videos that have inspired this project.

The first was a fun fold card she made during a four day retreat hosted by Amy Combs.

The second was her introduction to the ORNATE GARDEN SUITE, which I had ordered but not yet used.

I combined the fun fold with the GOLDEN HONEY SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER and the ORNATE GARDEN SUITE.

I chose the Golden Honey SDSP because I had a Gold Class Event Cinemas Gift Card to send to a friend.

The edge dies and frame dies are so elegant.

I cut a second frame, in Whisper White card stock, to attach to the back of the basic black heat embossed sentiment frame for a hand written note.

Thank you Patty for your inspiration!

WELL DRESSED @ THE COUNTRY CLUB

It is the second last day of Sale-a-bration and time to show off the WELL DRESSED STAMP SET that many of you will have chosen, with a qualifying order.

I love the stamp images – very dapper!

The COUNTRY CLUB DSP, in the January through June Mini Catalogue, is also perfect, for projects, for the men in our lives.

WELL DRESSED CLING STAMP SET by Stampin' Up!
COUNTRY CLUB DESIGNER SERIES PAPER by Stampin' Up!

I decided to create a Well Dressed Gift Set – a gift box and coordinating card (in this case, I made two cards for two different occasions).

AND, I really wanted to use my Stamparatus to position the images accurately for my designs. I love my Stamparatus!

6″ x 6″ gift box, Father’s Day card and Retirement card

The big, bold colours of the stamped images and the Designer Series Paper definitely suit masculine cards.

Here’s a closer look at each project:

I imagine the gift box could include a tie, socks and t-shirt.

I was sooooo excited when I saw the geometric image resulting from the stamped collar outline rotating through the Stamparatus.

Receiving a watch on retirement seems a traditional gift – perfect for this card.
An umbrella for a Father’s Day card symbolises the way a dad protects his children.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
