October 2017 Card Class - Star of Light

Welcome back.

I've just completed the preparations for this month's card class featuring the Star of Light stampset and matching framelits.  Yay!!  This is the first time I used this set, which has been carried over from last year...thank goodness.  This is one set I will use often this Christmas.

There have been some great creations on Pinterest (my go to place for inspiration).  Here's my take on Amanda Bates, Joanne James and Catherine Carroll's pins.

October Forgotten Friday

Welcome to this month's Forgotten Friday post.

Today I have made a card I saw many years ago on Pinterest, using the Little Numbers Thinlits.  These thinlits retired a little while ago, and like all my retired products, I'm still undecided as to whether I should keep it or replace it.  I think I need to take the emotion out of it and see how often I use it.  What makes me laugh is that I think of my wardrobe the same way.  I have so many clothes that I just can't part with. :-)

Back to the card....
I placed the numbers on the piece of Elegant Eggplant I was using as my mat, and ran it through the bigshot.  Then, I placed the number 1 and 3 towards the bottom and ran it through again.

Before mounting the mat, I adhered a small piece of Melon Mambo behind the 13, stamped the Happy Birthday with Versamark, before using White Embossing Powder to finish it.  Some embellishments finished it off.

Happy 60th Birthday Sister

A couple of weeks ago, my sister turned the big 6-Oh.  We had a couple of surprises in store for her - my cousin arrived a couple of days prior and my brother arrived the day before.  We had a great lunch in a restaurant here in Port Macquarie before taking 'the surprises' to the airport to fly back to Sydney.  I think she had an enjoyable few days.

I made three cards for her - one from my hubby and me, one from my brother, and one from our 90 year old mother.  I even came up with some witty sentiments, but thought it best not to share those. Thanks Melissa Davies, and Rose Packer for pinning your projects.

The products used for cards from left to right are detailed below.  Unfortunately, some of the products are retired, but I have included them at the end of each card product for inspiration.  For example, the Marbled background stamp could be used in place of the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper.  I didn't have the Layering framelits, so I improvised by using the retired Starburst framelits.  The Lace Doilies are also retired, but Stampin' Up! does have some Delicate White Doilies (Item No. 141701) which will work well with the Label Me Pretty set.
