17th Birthday card

Yesterday was our eldest's 17th Birthday, This is the card I made for him. He liked the Neverending card of the Rubik's cube I did last month, but realistically how many boys keep there cards, so instead of putting in heaps of work, just for him to throw out, I did this card instead. What do you think?
Have a great day, Don't forget next Wed(1st Aug) Stampin'UP!s retirement list comes out...

These 2 sets used in the cards below are one's that went on there's (flight of a butterfly and trendy trees both on pg 76 of the current Catalogue), I haven't used both of these for awhile, so it was lovely to have a play again.

Same idea but different..

This is another flip flop card, done in concord crush and wisteria, Certainly simpler.
Have a great day

I have been creating

Now I have been creating, I photographed quite a few today, A few weeks ago I got together with fellow demo's for a crafting morning and we were shown how to do a flip flop card, well I found it quite tricky to do, however I think I have my head around it now, I watched several UTube on how to create it, I played,wrecked heaps of cardstock and then finally got one I am happy with, I cased some of this card, however instead of using dsp with it I chose to use the woodgrain stamp, this would make a great Man's card! What do you think?
Hope you are enjoying the school holidays.

Apologies..

For not updating my blog for so long.. I have been working pretty much full time, with the odd day off to run classes, so I haven't reallly stamped for pleasure for ages.
This card I am showing today is another I have cased off the web, showing what you can do with the flower from the mixed bunch stamp set, I have cut the top petal and bottom petal off to make a butterfly( this set is in the current mini that runs out at the end of this month), I don't own this set, however a few of my lovely customers do, and I thought this could show them an extra way to use this set.
Have a great week
