Clubhouse for FMS 422

This week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches gave me the opportunity of play with the Country Club suite of products. If you have a golfer in the family, then this set is a must-have.

I think my two favourite things in this suite are the teeing off golfer, who can be die cut, and the Absolutely Argyle embossing folder. I've stacked the golfer to give him a bit more lift.

Another lovely product is the Country Club Elements, lovely wooden embellishments that add a rustic charm to any project.  I've used a strip of it to back the sentiment.

If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas, get you catalogues and provide you with Stampin' Up products. You can leave a message in the comments or contact me using any of the methods listed in the Contact Me tab at the top of the page. You can shop with me from anywhere in New Zealand by clicking on the SHOP NOW button in the sidebar or clicking on any of products below.

Masculine Birthday CAS 175 CF 148

It seems ages since I last made a card. Between going away last weekend and work stuff, it has indeed been a while. Necessity saw me in my room this afternoon though as tomorrow is my husband's birthday and a card was needed. He's hard to make a card for. Most 'male' stamp sets are just not him but golf is his passion.

The sketch at CAS Colours and Sketches gave me the idea of a golf ball in motion....

... and ended up with this card.

I cut the circles out with nesting framelits and then embossed them with a spotty-dotty folder. I used the debossed side and sponged the edges and one side to define the circles and to create a more 3-D look to the golf balls. The ball on the tee is on dimensionals.

The little grass stamp I found in a jumble box at the Church Fair a couple of years ago. The -RRIFIC I got by masking off part of the sentiment from No Bones About It - it was originally DINO-RRIFIC. The 'TEE' is made from little scrabble tiles from the leftovers of an old Kaisercraft sticker set. The golf tee started life as the letter T from the Little Letter framelits, with a wee scissor shave to make it more the right shape.

I hope he'll like it. Tomorrow will tell...

I'm also entering this card into the Birthday Boy challenge at CAS-ual Fridays.

Update: So delighted to be a Weekly Winner at CAS Colours and Sketches.
