Petal Card from Northern Ireland

Posted on January 8, 2010 by Dayanna Donng

One of the best things about blogging is that you hear from people who share the same addiction to stamping as you do from all over the world.

I've received emails from fellow stampers in Australia, the US and Europe and the other day I received an email from Linda Dickson who lives in Northern Ireland about the pocket card I made using the Petal Card die (see this post from last year). Linda was able to purchase the die and today she sent me a photo of the this beautiful card she made for her daughter's anniversary.

Thank you for sharing your card with me and a happy anniversary wish to your daughter and her husband, Linda.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

Nouveau Chic Magazine Holder

Posted on January 6, 2010 by Dayanna Donng

Boy, I've been having problems with my email for the past few days and I must say that it creates huge inconvenience when technology isn't working. Still trying to determine what the problem is and hopefully it will be sorted out soon! I just feel so lost if I can't communicate via email – lol.

I made this gift for my friend, Janet, for Christmas. I've made several magazine holders as gifts and forget to take pictures of them before giving them away – lol! But I remembered to take pictures of this one, partly because of the colors in the Nouveau Chic DSP are ones that I don't generally use and I thought the end result was quite unique.

I modified the measurements for A2 cards. The colors in Nouveau Chic uses Sage Green, Apricot Appeal, Black and Basic Grey.

The box is cut from 12"x12" card stock in Sage green and decorated with the DSP. The flower is cut out of one of the pieces of the DSP.

I made four cards using two designs and on this one I used the Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware (p. 178, #112454, $41.95) in the middle and 5/16" Neutral Jumbo Brads (p. 179, #112534, $11.25). The initial is stamped using the Lovely Letters Alphabet (p. 30, #115030, $57.95)

The other design uses more of the DSP with Apricot Appeal card stock and the scallop trim is the free punch offered in this year's SAB products.

Sale-A-Bration is on and when you spend $60 on regular product either from the new Occasions Mini or IBC, you can choose from one of six fantastic products that you can see here.
