Fairy Celebration Watercolour Double Diamond Fold Card Stampin' Up! UK

Today, I wanted to share with you, this card that I made for my Daughter & her Partner, as they are moving into their first home together today!

My daughter loves anything crafty, vintage and handmade, so I wanted the card to be something a little bit different. 

I chose the Fairy Celebration Stamp Set

Because Toadstools and Fairies  represent Home to me

So I hope that they enjoy this Double Diamond Fold Card

Masculine Feather Together Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Products

Well I am typing in a bleary eyed state of exhaustion today, as we did not get to bed until 03:00 hrs!

So please forgive me for any typo's.

We did the airport run late last night/early this-morning as our eldest son and his partner, have flown out to Greece for their annual holiday.

But we were still up at a reasonable time, as our daughter is moving into her first home with her partner, and Alex turns 30 today!!

And below is the Birthday Card I made for him.

I know, it is another masculine card, but what can I do? I belong to a large familiy that is heavy on the male side of things. Us poor few women don't stand a chance he he

This is the first time I have played with the 

FEATHER TOGETHER STAMP SET

This is another new Stamp Set from Stampin Up, & another stamp set I am in love with!

Alex ix another family member who is big into Motorbikes, but having made three already this last week, I felt it was time for a change

The Birthday sentiment, is one of the stamps in the set, and I decided to go with a mostly neutral colour scheme, with an injection of colour and texture by adding in this lovely blue from the Moroccan Designer Series Paper. The Art Piece has been mat onto Dapper Denim Cardstock, to co- ordinate with the designer series paper. And finally, I added texture with some loops of Linen Thread

One Wild Ride Meets a Brick Wall Fathers Day Card using Stampin' Up! Products UK

Happy Fathers Day 

Yes, in the UK, Today is the day we celebrate all our Dad's out there

Whether they have passed, as well as those that continue to be the best Dad's they can be

My Dad has faced many challenges in his life, but he has always been there for me and my 3 younger Brothers. I LOVE you Dad! More than words can say

And as a life long Motorbike enthusiast, this just seemed to be the stamp set to use for his Card.

I added some additional sentiments from my faithful Guy Greetings Stamp Set, and these I die cut them using the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits Dies.

I went with a colour scheme of Basic Gray, White & Dapper Denim

The Badge is one of the stamps in the One Wild Ride Stamp set and I used the co-ordinating Punch.

The art pieces were stamped onto the cardstock After dry embossing  the White panel with the Brick Wall TIEF (Embossing Folder), with the de-bossed side placed face up. This added to the Grungy feel of the card.

Finally I added some little Silver Stars
