Inspiration comes from the Strangest of Places - Get Well Soon

Something a little different today. This card isn't a Christmas card and I haven't used my Envelope Punch Board. I know, it's a shock lol

This is actually one of the cards my ladies having been making at class this month. We decided that we would make three cards that you don't always use (thankfully). One is a Sympathy, one is for a Wedding and the other is the card I'm sharing today which is a Get Well card.

These cards are the ones that might sit in your card box for ages, but when you need it, you need it straight away.

Gorgeous isn't it. I just LOVE these colours together. The actual card design is a case from a card that I've had booked mark for quite a while now. It's by the very lovely Sandy Mathis and you can see her gorgeous card right HERE!!. Sandy actually used different stamps and different colours, but the design and theme are the same. Why change such a gorgeous original I say!!

But the inspiration for the colour combo comes from a completely different place. In fact, it came from the most boring chore in the world. Bringing in the washing. Yep, i was taking a pair of Miss N's undies off the line and they where these exact same colours. I thought, wow, what a great combination, I wonder if I could turn it into a card... Honestly it's amazing where the the inspiration finds us sometimes.

Have fun,
Chlo

Class Sneak Peek

So I have a huge Stampin Up party this weekend, which I have been busy organising something amazing for the hostess and all of her friends to make, but I also took some time to get the cards for my up coming class done too.

Now I can't show you all of the cards for class, but I did want to share just one with you all... to wet your appetite so to speak!!

I saw this card made for one of the girls at Stampin' Up Head quarters and it gave me the idea for my card.

 

On the other card, they had put the ladies name on the banner, but i suddenly realised that it's mothers Day in the UK this weekend and thought this would be a great card to send over to my Mummy.

Don't you just loves those gorgeous new Hearts a Flutter stamps and matching Framelits. I have so many more projects to share with you, using this set. It's super versatile!!

Anyway, I couldn't use this card for this months class, as Mothers days in Australia isn't until May. So I then wondered whether I could make the card fit 6 banners across it...

So it turns out that, Yep, you can lol. It's also such an awesome way to use up scraps of DSP too.

So if you guys want to come along and make this card as well as two others, then drop me an EMAIL and book into class. For more information on my classes, just click HERE!!

Have Fun,

Chlo

"I'm late, I'm late...

For a very important date" well according to the white rabbit anyway lol.

So here is my Valentines card!! I know, it's almost 5 days late, but it's really not a big deal in my house... actually come to think of it, Hubby doesn't make a big deal about any of it lol.

BUT, I love any excuse to go and have a play with my SU goodies so off I went. Now I'm pretty sure this card is a CASE, but i have no idea where!! I'm usually such a stickler for giving credit and linking back to the original designer, but I can't for the life of me find where i saw this. I'll update if I suddenly remember!!

This is not my usual style of card. There is a lot of white, but I still think it works. It's good to push yourself sometimes!!

Anyway, Hubby loved it, so I guess that's all that matters!!

Have Fun,
Chlo
