Charming Birthday
For today’s card, I embossed Crumb Cake card using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. The embossed card is attached to scored and folded Blackberry Bliss card. I cut Basic White card using one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies which I attached to the embossed card using dimensionals. I stamped the floral image from the Charming Day stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the image using the co-ordinating Charming Day Die and attached it to the Basic White circle.
I stamped “happy birthday” from the Charming Day stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I fussy cut the greeting and attached it to the card front. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the smaller floral image from the Charming Day stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using the Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends. The stamped and coloured panel is attached to the inside of the card base. I have had a lot of fun playing with the Charming Day Bundle and the co-ordinating products from the Floral Charm Suite Collection. This bundle is an Online Exclusive, so pop into my store and check it out.

Celebration Time
I watched a video on You Tube by Craft With Julie which inspired me to create this page using the same layout but different papers. I cut my Everyday Happiness 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper using Julie’s instructions. I sponged the edges of my pieces using Pecan Pie ink before attaching them to the Very Vanilla Two-Tone 12″ x 12″ paper
I stamped various flowers and leaves from the Everyday You & Me stamp set (last chance) using Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo and Lemon Lolly. I also stamped lots of the leaves from the Everyday You and Me stamp set using Lost Lagoon ink. The flowers and leaves are cut out using the co-ordinating Everyday You & Me Dies (last chance). I attached my photos to the page and arranged the flowers and leaves so that they sit partially behind the photos.
I did use dimensionals underneath the flower that sits over the photos. I cut the title from Pretty Peacock card using the Mini Alphabet Dies. I printed my journaling onto Very Vanilla card, trimmed it and sponged the edges using Pecan Pie ink before attaching it to the right hand page. I also added some Basic Rhinestones around my flower clusters. I am really happy with the way this turned out and love that I was able to use some more of this beautiful paper, which, by the way, is still a current product. So thank you Julie for the inspiration.

Butterfly Birthday
The Beautiful Butterflies Bundle has been moved to the Last Chance list so I thought I have a little play with it before it is gone forever. I attached a piece of Beautiful Boho 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to Basic White card. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Fresh Freesia card. I die cut Basic White card using one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies and attached it to the card front. I used the Beautiful Butterfly Dies to cut the solid butterfly from Bubble Bath card and the intricate butterfly from Fresh Freesia card.
I also die cut the butterfly body from Fresh Freesia card using the same dies. I attached the butterfly body to the solid butterfly and attached the intricate butterfly over the top. I only added glue behind the body sections of the butterfly pieces so that the wings were loose.
stamped the greeting from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink. I used one of the banners from the Beautiful Butterfly Dies to cut it out. The greeting is attached across the butterfly using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set using Fresh Freesia ink. I also stamped the smaller butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set next to the greeting using Fresh Freesia ink. Simple but pretty. I’d love to know what you think.

I attached the Basic White panel to scored and folded Early Espresso card. I die cut Basic White card using one of the rectangles from the Textured Notes Dies. I stamped the leaf image from the Textured Notes stamp set onto The Basic White die cut using Mossy Meadow ink.

Warnambool
The park we stayed at in Warnambool was just lovely. Although the grounds could do with a little work, the indoor pool, camp kitchen & lounge were amazing. For my page I cut down a piece of the retired Adventurous Sky 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and attached it to a White Willow 12″ x 12″ page. I attached another piece of Adventurous Sky Designer Series Paper (sorry this one is now sold out) across the lower part of the page. I printed the large photo and attached it to Basic White card, then Night of Navy card before attaching it to the page. The rest of the photos are attached to Night of Navy card which I trimmed to shape before attaching the panel to the page. I cut the title from Night of Navy card using the Mini Alphabet Dies. The journaling is printed onto Basic White card and cut into strips before attaching them to the page. I stamped one of the greetings from the Tags To Go stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink and punched it out using the retired 1-1/2″ Circle Punch. I used the 1-3/4″ Circle to punch Night of Navy card. I layered the two circles together before attaching them to the page using dimensionals. Simple, but I am very happy with the end result.

To decorate the inside of the card, I die cut Basic White using the flower stem, flower and leaf dies from the Impressions Abloom Dies. The stems & leaves were coloured using Summer Splash ink and the flowers using Petunia Pop ink. The stems, leaves & flowers are attached to the left hand side of Basic White card. I didn’t purchase the whole suite that this Bundle is part of but I am having a great time using the Impressions Abloom stamp set & dies with other products in my stash.

Kit Collection
From today the 6th October to the 8th October Stampin’ Up! is having a Kit Collection sale with up to 30% off. On Saturday I celebrated World Card Making Day with Stampin’ Up! on the Demonstrator Facebook Page. We crafted along together to create the Handmade & Heartfelt Kit. This kit contains the box on the left and two each of five different cards. It also includes a stamp set and bling. I thought I would pop in and show you what I had created so that you can see just how fabulous these kits are. I created each of the five cards in the kit as per the kit instructions. Then I created them with a Thick White card base in standard metric size. I did have to trim some of the pieces but I love how they all turned out. In each photo the card on the left is as per the kit and the one on the right is my variation. So don’t forget you only have until the 8th October at 11.59pm to place your order.

As you can see in the first photo I have placed all of my cards in the box from the kit along with the included stamp set and left over bits and pieces. You can see all of the Kits Collection in my online store.

A Day to Remember
I joined a 90 Day Scrapbooking Challenge Group on Facebook and today I have a page to share that I created using instructions from Chris Robertson, the basic layout was by Craft with Ro. I followed the instructions and cut pieces of Celebratory Sips 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper which I attached to two White Willow 12″ x 12″ pages. I used the Everyday Arches to cut Cloud Cover card using two different sizes.I stamped “A Day to Remember” from the Celebrate Together stamp set onto Basic White card using Secret Sea ink. I cut out the greeting using one of the Everyday Arches Dies.
The greeting panel is attached flat onto the left hand page. My journaling panel is cut from Basic White card using one of the Everyday Arches Dies. I stamped the line image from the retired Wildflower Celebrations stamp set onto the die cut using Secret Sea ink. I wrote my journaling using one of the new Journaling Pens and attached it to the page using dimensionals so that it sits slightly over the bottom left hand corner of the photo. I die cut Basic White card using one of the Everyday Arches Dies and attached it to the last Cloud Cover arch. I fussy cut the images from one of the papers in the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper.
The images on the left hand page are attached using dimensionals where necessary. The ones on the right hand page are attached flat to the die cuts and then attached to the page using dimensionals.. I stamped “memories” from the Celebrate Together stamp set onto Basic White card using Secret Sea ink. I flagged each end of the banner before attaching it using a dimensional underneath the left hand edge. I love how I was able to use photos from my grandson’s special celebration on these pages. So thank you Chris and Ro for the inspiration and helpful instructions.
