Tuesday Trio - Beautiful Friendship

Love love love this Beautiful Friendship trio... 

The first being pretty much a complete CASE of this card by the very talented Austrian demonstrator,  Michaela Windhager at Papier Vampir... 

Whose card actually inspired me enough to finally buy the stamp set... as I was indeed very late to the "Beautiful Friendship lovers party!"  Always a liker... but this is the card that finally got to me! 

I just changed the colour combination... to Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Rich Razzleberry, Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz...

And I dropped the polka dot ribbon... I tried it... but (and it must just be me!) either I don't get the wrap right... or the angle right... but either way I make such a feature look rubbish! Though I still appreciate it on others' cards! 

And please ignore my boo boo!! ie the Mossy Meadow spray to the bottom right hand side!

And then I carried on with slightly different colour combinations ... Flirty Flamingo hydrangeas in this second one... and less or more stamping...

Oh and again I added the extra layered up parts onto the front... which made an even bigger difference on these cards...

And off to make some more... as this is officially still my favourite Beautiful Friendship layout! Thank you Michaela... still really loving your card!

Also used Stitched Rectangles dies and Ornate Thanks stamps...

Simple On Sunday - Beautiful Friendship #2

As I admitted on Friday... I liked that layout so much that I had to quickly CASE myself and create another for another friend...

So here is Jill's thank you card... all in her favourite pinks and purples... 

I do love it when you can tailor make cards so easily! 

Though I do have to laugh at myself as I was so intent on getting my post out that day... that I have since found the 2 stamped and handcut small Flirty Flamingo roses here that I "forgot" to pop onto the card! Sorry Jill!!

And for anyone that can't quite work out the flower and leaf placement with the banner in the way!! Here you go... the "under layout"...

Beautiful Friendship Friday

Quick share of a Beautiful Friendship & Ornate Thanks card to say thank you to a friend... and to to submit for our team colour challenge this month... which is...

Liked it so much that I then had to make another for another friend!! But more of that on another day...

Here was Plan A for this card... 

But then I decided a quick stamp, fussy cut and add would make a big difference... and so it did... 

Can't recommend this Beautiful Friendship stamp set enough!! Even though I was SO late to the party....
