CAS-UAL FRIDAYS #91

I really liked the idea of putting some silver on one of my cards and thought I would go with some silver embossing..  When I received this set of stamps 'outlined occasions'  it was a free set with some other supplies I bought at Stampin'up.  I had tried to color them and never liked it.  I had never thought to emboss the words.  It was when I saw Christina's DT card at Cas-ual Fridays that I thought to have another look at this set of stamps and it just clicked to emboss them..  I wanted to use this cute ribbon that I just bought last week such sweet little presents on it.. The Designer series paper is from Kaszazz.  So I went with black white and silver.  This was such a surprisingly quick card to do, it happens like that very rarely for me...

So here is my card....

Have a great day

Muse Challenge #5

I am really enjoying playing along at the Muse card club. This weeks muse is Marion Vagg.. I really like the striped background effect across Marion's card and knew I had the perfect paper for me to use as soon as I saw it..  I so like stripes and really like the 6 x 6 paper pack from Kaisercraft, the Le chateau Collection so pretty..   I stamped up the birdcage and bird from the Aviary set from Stampin'up, fussy cut and backed it in that lovely slate color I am fond of at the moment..  Happy Birthday words are from Kaszazz..

So here is my card...

CAS(E) this sketch #15, Alley way stamps

I have been looking at the sketch at Case this sketch  and wanting to play along for the last few days, I finally got time to do it..  I saw the wonderful freebies for this month at The alleyway stamps and knew they where just perfect for me to print up for this. I  just love the sentiment and the little brush, so cute. 
So here is my card....

I also want to enter this card over at The alleyway stamps Be inspired challenge.. 


Just want to say a big hello and welcome to Helen and Tracey who are new followers to my blog..
Special thanks everyone for taking time for all the lovely comments,  I appreciate every one. 
Except of course the spam it does not get read and as someone else said quite funnily, it gets eaten with ham and cheese...


Have a great day
Sandy :)
