A 3d Ruby Wedding Day card...what a special achievement!

Hi all, 
Check out this 3d pop up card I made for a customer as she celebrates her friends Ruby Wedding anniversary with them. I loved making this and used items from the Sale-a-bration catalogue..... The Big Day stamp set was FREE!!! when i spent £45 and its so versatile and funky. I remember the first 3d pop up card i made and just how amazed i was that i'd done it! THey are a real show stopper on your mantel piece and allow you to get really creative with the decorating of it. My favourite stamp of the new Spring/Summer Occasions catalogue is Something Lacy, and i used this both as a backdrop and a feature aqua painting for a really pretty effect.




By using the envelope board and some of the gorgeous FREE sale-a-bration papers it was really easy to create a truly elegant envelope that fits perfectly. Such a must have piece of kit! 
Have a look below at the items i used to create this and remember.....spend £45 and get a free item of your choice from this really fun catalogue...

Quality time with friends...thats a happy place!

Afternoon all, hope you've had a lovely day.
I spent the weekend catching up with friends and drinking coffee.....it was so lovely.
I have such a diverse bunch of friends I realised as I sat there chatting and putting the world to rights.
In our little group we were 2 Spanish, 1 Morrocan, 1 Carribean and me...the UK contingent!! It made me realise how precious female friendship is.. Our lives run at the pace of a racehorse a lot of the time so taking time out to relax with each other is really precious.
I truly appreciate living in a city which is so multicultural and where everyone brings something new and fresh to the table.
So inspired by this todays make is a card for a friend which I love. I used the aqua painting technique and used an embossing machine to create a lovely textured heart pattern on the feature card. Stampin up also have a really sweet little craft stapler which I pinned the sentiment tag on with.
The stamp set I used is aptly called the perfect blend and is very funky and modern.....love it!
What do you think???





I'm unsure as to why the product list decided to do this....however.....i have no idea how to correct it....#glitch!
Thanks for stopping by,
Blog soon,
