Gilded birthday card

Continuing in my series of cards made using the Stampin' Up! Last a Lifetime stamp set & co-ordinating dies bundle, here's one where I've stepped-up the diecutting by adding gilding flakes which I had in my stash.

This card uses the smaller of the floral corner dies along with a couple of dies from the Nature's Thoughts die set which is a limited release and co-ordinates with the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

Here's a close-up of the gilded diecut section of the card.

Here's a portrait version of the card too.

Which do you prefer - the landscape or portrait version?  All products used in the creation of these cards are listed at the end of this post (except the gilding flakes which are not from Stampin' Up! and were from my personal stash).

Last a lifetime double floral card

One of my favourite stamp sets & co-ordinating dies bundle from the new Stampin' Up! January-June Mini catalogue is the Last a Lifetime bundle.

I made this card using this bundle.

Creating this card was easy as I used the largest floral corner die from the bundle to diecut the corners of some Blackberry Bliss card stock.  I stamped the sentiment from the bundle in the same colour and used the Banner Triple punch to flag each end of the sentiment. A Silver Glimmer paper banner was added underneath the sentiment before adhering it onto the card.  A couple of Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the sentiment added some sparkle.

Sale-a-Bration Stampin' Up! Kerchief Card Kit

I’ve been playing with the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration Kerchief card kit which I got for free with a $90 qualifying order and loved how quick & easy it was to assemble the eight cards that came in the kit.

Everything I needed was in the kit - no additional supplies needed. Here are the items that came in the kit to make up four red and four blue cards.

I turned some cards from the kit into ‘thank you’ cards to have on hand for later.

You can get your kit today by heading over to my Angela’s PaperArts store and placing your order and earn this kit for free. If you need any assistance, please let me know - happy to help.
