Racing By
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards I created using this fun stamp set. For today’s card, I attached a piece of Smoky Slate card down the left hand side of Basic White card. The whole panel is embossed using the Metal 3D Embossing Folder before being attached to scored and folded Smoky Slate card. I attached a piece of smoky slate paper from the Take to the Sky 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the solid car image from the Racing By stamp set onto Basic White card using Smoky Slate ink. I stamped the detailed car image from the Racing By stamp set over the top using Basic Gray ink. I also added the wheel image and the helmet image from the same stamp set using Basic Gray ink.
I stamped the greeting from the Racing By stamp set below the card image using Basic Gray ink. I attached the stamped panel to Smoky Slate card and then the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the cup image from the Racing By stamp set onto Basic White card using Basic Gray ink. I stamped “let’s celebrate” from the Simply Said stamp set below the cup using Basic Gray ink. I had so much fun creating these cards. I’d love to know what you think.

Happy Anniversary
My Mum and Dad celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary recently and today I thought I would share the card I made for them. I was inspired by one I saw on a Demonstrator only Facebook page shared by Janet Morrow Wakeland. Janet’s card was a slimline card but mine is just a standard size. I embossed Basic White card using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder. I attached a piece of now retired Designer Series paper across the bottom of the embossed panel before attaching the whole panel to scored and folded Basic Black card. I die cut the large floral image from Basic Black card using the Magnolia Mood Dies.
I also die cut two small leaves using the Magnolia Mood Dies also from Basic Black card. I attached all of the die cut images to the card front. I stamped the large floral image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The image is cut out using the co-ordinating Magnolia Mood Die. I attached the stamped image to the card front over the die cut images using dimensionals.
I stamped “happy anniversary” from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set onto a narrow strip of Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I attached the greeting to a piece of Basic Black card before attaching the panel across the bottom of the card front. I also added some Basic Rhinestones to give a little bling. To decorate the inside of the card I attached a narrow strip of the same designer series paper across the bottom of Basic White card. I stamped the small the small floral image from the Magnolia Mood stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut it out using the co-ordinating Magnolia Mood Die. I attached the flower to the lower left hand corner of the Basic White card tucking the ends underneath the Designer Series Paper. I love this stamp set and I am so happy for the inspiration from Janet – Thank you. Mum and Dad loved it too.

Turning Fifteen
Today’s page shows off some photos from my granddaughter’s birthday celebration. I attached two large pieces of Delightful Floral 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper pieces to a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I attached a narrow strip of the another design from the same Designer Series Paper down the left hand side of the page. I cut two floral pieces from the Designer Series Paper and attached one to the top left and one to the lower right hand corner of the page. I cut Basic Black card using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I attach three photos to Basic Black card and attached the panel across the top of the page. Before really adhering the panel, I laid down the last photo so that I could attached the Basic Black circle partially underneath the photos. I cut Basic White card using the largest banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies and used re-positional glue to attach it over the circle. I will print my journaling onto the banner later to completely finish the page. Lastly I cut Basic Black and Basic White card using the Wanted to Say Dies to create my title, which I attached above the left hand photo. I love how gorgeous this paper is and how easy it makes my memory keeping. I would love to know what you think.

Your Invited
Today I am sharing some invitations I created for my Mum & Dad’s 70th Wedding Anniversary celebration. I must say that I used the example in the Annual Catalogue as inspiration for the design. I stamped the border image from the Chantilly Lace stamp set across the top left hand and bottom right hand corners of Basic White card using Night of Navy ink.
I stamped “Your Invited” from the same stamp set between the border images using Night of Navy ink. I attached the stamped panel to Night of Navy card and then scored and folded Thick Basic White card.
I created the invitation on my computed and printed onto Basic White card. I stamped across the bottom of the invitation using the long border image from the Chantilly Lace stamp set using Night of Navy ink. The invitation panel is attached to a layer of Night of Navy card before attaching to the inside of the card base. I made 30 of these invitations and let me say that using a Stamp Positioner (I won’t name it but the one that Stampin’ Up! used to sell) made this job so easy.
