Christmas Angel Dress Up Framelit Lip Balm Holder

A gorgeous Dress Up Framelit Lip Balm Holder with a twist!

Jen suggested adding some Angel wings and wah-lah we now have a Christmas Angel!

The wings are made of Vellum, that has been embossed in “Iridescent Ice”, and then I used the “Beautiful Butterflies Bigz” Die to cut the wings.

I added a t ouch of Dazzling Diamonds to the edges of the wings to give it that xtra sp*rkle.

They are then layered with cardstock underneath, and then cut in half and slipt apart by 1cm, as they needed to be a tad wider.

Packaged between the 2 Dress Up Framelits is a cardboard gift box containing an (Avon) Lip Balm.

The Dresses are then cinched in the middle by 3 strands of Organdy Ribbon, with a cute little bow.

Happy Birthday Sweet Natalia

I made this birthday card for my two year old niece Natalia.

She is a very special little lady, being the youngest of 3 kiddies and the only girl in the family – she is like a kindred spirit, as I have 3 brothers!

I used the Rock “n” Roll technique on the flower form the Mixed Bunch stamp set.

I stamped and punched 3 flowers from the Mixed Bunch stamp set (Blossom punch), 1 from the Flower Shop stamp set (Pansy punch), and punched 1 from the Boho Blossoms punch.   Then Braded all of the flowers together.

For xtra dimension, I added Dazzling Diamonds to the petals.

I also stamped with the Rock “n” Roll technique on the inside of the card with the Mixed Bunch stamp.

Note the sweet little jacket on the Dress – this is made by using the Dress Up Framelit with the caped sleeves, and then cutting the cardstock through the waistline (just below the bust-line) and down the middle to create the xtra cute little jacket.   I used the off cuts to create the little belt and cute little flower on the belt.

Inside the card, I used the Lattice Die and the Beautiful Wings Embosslits to make the butterflies bounce/fly off the page.

Butterfly Bereavement Card

In the last two weeks, I have attended two funerals, so have been busy making Bereavement Cards ...

I used the Vellum throughout the card to soften the look, as this card was a Bereavement Card for Wayne's Aunties passing.

All products used are by Stampin' Up!

Cardstock used is “Basic Black” and “Whisper White”

The stamp sets used are "Wildflower Meadow", "Papillion Potpourri" and "Petite Pairs", and the Embossing Folder is "Wildflower Meadow".

The Embossing Powders used was called "Iridescent Ice" and "Black" with a little bit of “Dazzling Diamonds” mixed in for the butterflies, which were stamped onto Vellum in VersaMark, and then heat set with the Heat Tool.

I used the “Lattice” Bigz die to create the popping out of the butterflies on the inside of the card, which was folded into 1/4s.

Punches used are the "Ticket Duo Builder" and the "Decorative Label".

The Vellum over the wording on the front is stuck straight onto the cardstock with the 2-way Glue Pen.
