Happy Birthday in Razzleberry

I know I seem to be stuck on Razzleberry lately but this one is probably the last for a while.  A bit of a collage for a stitching friend's birthday.  I was able to match the material to the card and then I very tentatively put it through the cuttlebug with the top note die - no problems, it cut through beautifully.

Cheers,

Return of the Razzleberry

I promised I'd be back with a card to match the razzleberry acceptance card I made. 

Today was the "Open House Afternoon Tea" to celebrate this special 70th Birthday, so I can now show you the matching stair step card. 

The flower stamp is from the SU Fifth Avenue set and it makes lovely crisp images which are so easy to cut out.  The card stock is Whisper White and of course, Razzleberry with some Razzleberry ribbon as well.  The SU bird punch is so handy for making leaves.

I haven't actually made a bird card with it yet. 

I will have another Razzleberry card to show you next time then I promise I will move on to another colour.

Cheers

Riot of Razzleberry

I was so pleased with the music card shown on my last post that I did another one very similar a few days later to use as a Thank You card.  However, looking at that post now makes me realise how poor my photography skills are.  I am trying to take more care with my photos but I have a long way to go because as you will notice I was so anxious to take these in good light that I just plonked them on the carpet !!!  lol  oh well, at least I remembered to take a photo before I gave them away.

Lately my photos are being turned around when I load them here, so I went into GIMP and fiddled a bit (a LOT) and at least I now have them the right way around and a bonus was that I found out how to crop them a bit, but have just realised that the cropped area still appears on the blog as white space, so one step forward and two back.  It looks fine on the preview but not on the blog!

...... this was a birthday acceptance card .....

..this one a Birthday card......

 ... and this one a birthday card for my Mum ....

... and just look at the matching gift wrap which I found in my cupboard after making the card .. how amazing is that?

Hope you liked my first play with Razzleberry.  It is a gorgeous colour.  The stamp was from SU Fifth Avenue set.  The card stock was all SU and the pearls from my stash.

Cheers
