Christmas Ribbon Wreath

Another team training project but a deviation from the usual cards! This Christmas wreath uses nearly a whole reel of lucky limeade ruffled ribbon wrapped around a polystyrene ring and held with glue dots. I think the poinsettias are great too and so simple to make using the five petal punch, the boho blossoms punch and a glimmer brad.

I have more projects to share with you but as it is A level results day tomorrow I am not sure I will make it here. 

Triple Treat Flower

Today's card is one that I designed for my monthly card club recently. The Triple Treat Flower was a new purchase for me and I was desperate to show it off.  It's such a great stamp as it coordinates perfectly with 3 of the Stampin Up punches and that makes it so easy to use.
Here's a closer look

 I was also really eager to use the new satin pleated ribbon from the Summer mini catalogue, it's sooooo tactile and adds a real touch of luxury to your project.

Happiest Birthday Wishes

Remember I told you about my nieces birthday last week?  Now that she has received her present I can share her card here.  I used the retired Celebration designer papers for the background and also for the bunting.  To make the bunting I used my new Perfect Pennants punch, it makes it sooo easy! I added a little bling in the form of rhinestones and then the greeting which is from one of the new hostess gifts Happiest Birthday Wishes.

Gift card holder

Day 4:  Do you have teenagers to buy for at Christmas?  I do and it can be really difficult to find them something suitable.  I first made something very similar to this with my lovely upline Amanda and it is just so perfect to jazz up those boring gift voucher cards that I thought I would share it with the ladies at my own class.
It is made using the bigshot and the topnote die btu making it as a folded card.  The Jolly Holiday designer paper makes the pocket on the front for the gift card to slide into and then it is decorated with a fower from the 5 petal punch. some ribbon and a little bling.  The greeting is again from Sincere Salutations

Top Birthday

Aaarrggghhh!!! Another upside down photo, sorry.  Todays card is from the boxed set.  A Pacific Point blue base card and Blueberry crisp designer papers. We used the Top note die and Big Shot with the designer paper and embellished it with the leaves (another Big shot die) and a flower made from SU's 5 petal punch; the inner part of the flower is another 5 petal flower but folded in on itself to create a beautiful 3d flower. A pearl in the flower centre just finishes it off. 
Card no2 tomorrow, I'll try to get the photo the right way up!
