STAMPIN' UP! TIN OF CARDS & FLORAL BOUTIQUE 21st BIRTHDAY CARD

Last night I was privileged to help celebrate the 21st birthday of a young woman who I have known since birth.  What a special year this is!

I wanted the birthday girl's card to be a little elegant, but not fussy.  My chosen colour scheme is Night of Navy, Whisper White and silver.  I have used retired Silver Satin Ribbon (can't let go of that luscious stuff!), but everything else is current, and listed below.




Thanks for visiting my blog today.  I hope you are having a lovely weekend!  I look forward to spending some time with family members who are over from New Zealand.

JAI #338 : STAMPIN' UP! WORK OF ART BIRTHDAY CARD

It's Friday, and time for a new Just Add Ink challenge.  Here is our fabulous inspiration pic, to get your creative juices going!


I have chosen to use one of the "brush stroke" stamps from Work of Art, stamped repeatedly on a piece of Whisper White card.  The colours I've used are Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, and Island Indigo.  A couple of gold touches have been added to my design,  This card is for the eldest of my adorable great-nephews, who turned two recently.  (I now have three great-nephews!!  I know, I don't look old enough. LOL.)




You MUST check out the amazing cards made by the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team this week!  We hope you'll play along with us, too.

All of the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card are listed below.  If you click on any of the thumbnail images, you can go direct to my online store, to buy the items for yourself (if you're in Australia).

JAI #337: SNEAK PEEKS FROM THE UPCOMING STAMPIN' UP! OCCASIONS CATALOGUE

This week's Just Add Ink challenge, as set by Kim, is to:



I chose to feature die cuts and Designer Series Paper, and am giving you a sneak peek of a few new products from the Occasions Catalogue that will be here in a couple of months.  As a result of attending Stampin' Up!'s OnStage Live event in Brisbane recently, I was able to pre-order some of the gorgeous new products that go on sale in January.  The Designer Series Paper is the oh-so-pretty Falling in Love DSP, featuring these colours:





The card I'm sharing today was made for a great customer of mine, who has become a lovely friend.  I am so grateful to her, for choosing me as her Stampin' Up! demonstrator, and for introducing me to a whole new circle of friends who enrich my life.








The die cut panels on the front of the card are from the Project Life Cards & Labels framelits pack.  I included, on the inside of the card, a stitched square die cut, and some faint stamping of part of the floral image used on the front:



This sentiment, from the beautiful Thankful Life stamp set, really resonates with me.  The set is one of the new Hostess sets (free with a qualifying order of $250+) coming out early January.  Also new, in the upcoming Occasions Catalogue, are the Very Vanilla 1/4" satin ribbon and sweet Falling in Love embellishments (the jewelled flower next the the sentiment on the front of the card).

I have listed below the current Stampin' Up! products used on my card; if you'd like to buy them for yourself, just click on one of the thumbnail images, to be taken direct to my online store.

Make sure you check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's fabulous creations.  I love being part of such a creative team.  We hope you're inspired to play along with us this week!
