Sympathy Card - Oh So Eclectic

Hello again.  There's a saying that deaths some in threes.  Well that happened to me between July and mid August.

90th Birthday Twist & Pop Card

Hello,  I've been back from the USA for nearly 3 weeks and am trying to catch up with my blog.

Here's a twist & Pop card I made for my mum who is celebrated her 90th birthday on the day we left in July.  I really love the Falling in Love Designer Series Paper, and am sad it and the embellishments have retired. The Mum is from the retired For My Family stamp set.
I must say a big thank you to Amanda Bates (thecraftspa.blogspot.com) for her instructions and post on her Mother's Day Twist & Pop card.  I used the same paper, but changed it slightly.

July Forgotten Friday

Welcome to July's Forgotten Friday.  This month I'm showcasing the recently retired Starburst Sayings stamp set and Starburst Framelits.

While I didn't use it often I liked the set and am deciding whether to keep it 😕

For a change I used Tangerine Tango, with Early Espresso and Sahara Sand then took myself out of my comfort zone and angled the layers.  That's so hard for someone who likes everything straight and even distances 😊
The numbers are also from a retired set called Memorable Moments with Gorgeous Grunge to add some dimension.   The dots on the Sahara Sand mat were added using a sponge dauber.

Here's the products I used to create this card.

Starburst Sayings Clear Stamp Set [133185] $35.95	Starburst Framelits Die [132967] $45.95	Memorable Moments Clear Stamp Set [126682] $41.95	Gorgeous Grunge Clear Stamp Set [130517] $34.00
Tangerine Tango Classic Stampin' Pad [126946] $11.50	Sahara Sand Classic Stampin' Pad [126976] $11.50	Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad [126974] $11.50	Whisper White A4 Card Stock [106549] $15.75
Tangerine Tango A4 Card Stock [116206] $14.00	Sahara Sand A4 Card Stock [121695] $14.00	Early Espresso A4 Card Stock [121686] $14.00	Pearl Basic Jewels [144219] $8.75
Stampin' Dimensionals [104430] $6.00

I hope I've given you some inspiration to dust off your Starburst set.

If you live in Australia I'd be happy to help you find this or any other Stampin' Up! Products.  Either send me an email, click on the image to take you directly to the item, or click on My Shop at the top of the blog.

There won't be a Forgotten Friday post in August as I'll be overseas, so pop back on the second Friday of September for my next Forgotten Friday post.

Updated Blog Layout

Hi everyone.  Have you ever had one of those days or months when everything seems to go wrong?

The last few days have been like that for me.  Firstly, we're heading away on holidays very shortly, and I'm running out of time to make cards for all my family members and friends having birthdays this month aargh.
And today, my blog decided to forget what it looks like, so after wasting too much time trying to reinstall it, I've changed it to something completely different. 😊

My feeling is that it sensed I wanted to update it - something I have been discussing for a month or so now.

So, welcome to my new (interim) look blog.  Please bear with me because I have some great ideas.

Bye for now,

Robyn
