Penguin Birthday

PenguinBirthday_Pic

My son turned 11 last month – he’s absolutely penguin mad, so his card every year is always penguin related in some way. The launch of the new Autumn / Winter was perfect timing for me to make his card this year, especially with the inclusion of the Freezin’ Friends Bundle. The gorgeous penguin from this set made this year’s birthday card very easy.

After making 6 penguins (one for each letter of my son’s name), I paired the penguins up with paper from the ‘Magic in this Night’ Designer Series Paper (DSP) and his favourite colour, Real Red.

My sentiment is die cut from the ‘Well Written’ dies and stuck on using the adhesive sheets to turn the die cut into a sticker – much easier for those smaller, fiddly dies and stops you getting glue everywhere.

My son absolutely loved the card and is now pride of place on his desk.

Do you have a favourite animal? Is there a stamp set for that animal?

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Derwent Pencil Box

20200712_074617477_iOS 1

Hello everyone, hope you are having a good weekend! Thank you to everyone who joined me on my Facebook Live yesterday, where we made a birthday box for a set of Derwent Pencils. This gorgeous box fits a tin of 6 Derwent pencils, a lovely gift for any occasion.

This project heavily features the Playing with Patterns suite using the Designer Series Paper, a ribbon from the combo pack & the Resin Dots. I kept the box simple, letting the decoration speak for itself. The paper pattern I chose allowed me to use one of five colours, so I went with Coastal Cabana.

The ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment from the Many Mates stamp set fits nicely into the 2″ circle, leaving room for some embellishments and a pretty to finish off the decoration. My daughter was very pleased with the end product, gifting the box to one of her friends.

What do you think?

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

From All of Us

20200614_133022213_iOS 1

Good Morning! It’s the start of a brand new week – how are we all doing?

Today I wanted to share a card that is a bit different from the others that I make – this card is very simple and a great card for a beginner to make. It uses a single stamp set (From All of Us) , a single sheet of A4 Whisper White card stock & some Stampin’ Blends.

I absolutely love the larger outline images such as the one on this stamp, I find colouring them in therapeutic and a way of decompressing if I’ve had a hectic time in my day job. Plus it reminds me of simpler times when my only worries in life were focused around which shade of red I was going to use on my picture.

This card was quickly turned into a birthday card for a colleague and the sentiments in the stamp set made is easy to show it was from multiple people. I love the font the sentiments are written it, the cheeky faces on the animals and the whole sense of fun this set brings to any project.

How adorable? I hope you like it as much as I do!

Best Wishes,
Suzanne
