Bermuda Bay Balloons

Another birthday card ready to go.  We made this at a recent workshop and the colour choice was very popular.  We used the thick Whisper White cardstock for the base, and Bermuda Bay as the contrasting colour.  The Confetti Stars Border punch provided some detail on the left hand side, then we stamped an image from Happy Home in the same Bermuda Bay ink, so it was more of a watermark than a feature.  The Balloon Celebration details were stamped on Whisper White and punched out with the Balloon Bouquet punch.  Some BB baker's twine dangled from each and the 'Happy' greeting from the Hello You thinlits was stapled to the front.  Birthday was stamped from Tin of Cards stamp set and added to the bottom. A fun easy card which would again look great in any colour choice.

Celebrating the All Blacks' World Cup Victory

Today's share rightfully credits our 'Stars' - and for my Aussie friends, check out the 'All Black' background (wink!)... so all puns aside who needs to start getting ready for Christmas? Thought I'd share this project made recently at our Christmas Card day. Using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits and Real Red Envelope Paper for the package, decorated with the Stars Framelits Dies (see this week's specials below) and greeting from Peaceful Pines stamp set. The insert uses Whisper White card and was punched with the Confetti Stars Border punch then folded to create a pocket (real red envelope paper popped in behind). Greeting from a retired stamp in Real Red, and some ribbon added to make access easier.
