Welcome to Creative Stamping.  

I offer workshops and demonstrations all focused on the fabulous papercraft products Stampin' Up! has to offer. As an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I am here to showcase Stampin' Up! products, share special offers and give you fun project ideas.  I fell in love with Stampin' Up! because of the wonderful colour range with endless colour combinations, the co-ordinating card, designer papers and inks, stamp sets to die for, and good quality tools and embellishments.  I look forward to sharing my love of Stampin' Up! with you and inspiring your creativity!

Black 'n' White Birthday

Wednesday, 20 January 2010 | Print E-mail

I was really pleased with the Black 'n' White Christmas card I made in December, so I re-made it as a birthday card.  Stamping and cutting out the flowers, then adhering them onto cardstock and re-cutting takes time, but it is worth it for the effect.

Black n'n White Birthday Card
Stamps: Priceless (116402), Sincere Salutations (116416).  Card/Paper: Basic Black (106561), Whisper White (106549), Ruby Red (106572).  Ink: Basic Black (101179), Ruby Red (102259).  Accessories: Basic Black 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (109027), Basic Black Jumbo Grommet (114348).  Tools: Mat Pack (105826), Bone Folder (102300), Dimensionals (104430).  Non-SU!: Stick-on Rhinestones.
