Stamping Fun with Wilma...

Embrace Life

 I saved the best for last!  This is my favourite card from Feb GNO.  Again, I love the colours!

Stampin' Up! card stock in Real Red, Garden Green, and Very Vanila.  Ribbon: 3/4 Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon.

Have a great weekend!

Peace Within

You guessed! Yes, this is another Feb GNO card!

I wanted to use the In-Colors and thought that these two were perfect together: Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay.  Such a nice spring feeling!

Simple Friendship

This is the third Feb GNO card.

I love this combination of colours!  They are so cheerful and with this weather... well, let's just say I am ready for spring!

Ink Pads:  Stampin' Up! Apricot Appeal, Tempting Turquoise, and Certainly Celery.

Fine Cosmo glitter was used at the centers of the big flowers with a glue dot.

:o)

Circus Circles

Another card from February GNO.

This one used the set Circus Circles and the lovely combination of Lovely Lilac, Elegant Eggplant, Summer Sun, and More Mustard.

I love the build-a-brad for the center of the medallion!

Vintage Vogue

Here is a card we made at the Girls Night Out in February.

I love this new stamp set, Vintage Vogue, and the new in-colour, Rich Razzleberry, with Old Olive.

Enjoy!

Get Well Soon

Hello Ladies!

I haven't posted in such a long time!  It feels like forever!  Many things going on and some are not so good.

I usually do not share much personal information on my blog, but I find this to be a spcial circumstance. 

As some of you know, my brother, Wellington (43 years old), has been diagnosed with cancer.  He is not doing well and is, as expected, feeling down.  I feel helpless and with this request, it makes me feel that I am doing something.

I know this is asking a lot and in any shape or form I want you to feel obligated to comply with my request.  So please feel free to ignore this message.  No hard feelings at all.  REALLY!

For those who have the time and would be willing, I was wondering whether you would make a card for him.  You can either send it to me or directly to him.  I thought that our beautiful cards could cheer him up a bit.  I am sending him one every week and I know that he likes our cards.  Maybe you will feel encouraged by the love and attention of strangers.  If you want any info, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I thank you in advance for your generosity and ask you if you know of somebody else who would be willing to send him a card, please pass this message on.

Here is him in 2008 with his wife, Marlucia, and two of his children, Claudia e Julia.  The oldest ones, Lucas and Camila, are not in the photo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Here is his information:

 

Wellington Stern da Silva 

Rua Ibirá, 130 – Casa 2

São Paulo – SP – Brazil

CEP 03187-020

Here are some Portuguese translations in case you want to write him in Portuguese:

You are in my thoughts and prayers.   Estou orando por voce.

Get well soon.  Fica bom logo.

God bless you.  Deus te abençoe.

Don’t give up!    Não Desista!

Courage:  Coragem

Miracles happen!  Milagreas acontecem!

Here is my information:

Wilma Stern-Cavalcante

From the bottom of my heart, many thanks!

I will keep this post up for a while; so look below for new posts.  Cheers!   :o)

Delightful Decorations - What's new? ;-)

I had to do another one, right!?!  I wanted to try this card with Tempting Turquoise, but to get the effect I wanted, I had to add layers of Sahara Sand.

So... here are the layers: Tempting Turquoise for the card base, Sahara Sand, Taken with Teal with a piece of DSP (Holiday Lounge), Sahara Sand, and finally, Tempting Turquoise.  The ornaments are stamped on Whisper White card stock with Sahara Sand and Tempting Turquoise Classic Ink.  Accessories: Ornament punch, silver brad and elastic cord.

Do you realize that we are in December???  Well,  Happy December to you!!!

Ornament Punch

Good Monday!!!

This is one of my favourite cards so far.  I punched a piece of card stock with the Ornament punch, and used the negative to sponge on my Very Vanilla card stock.  Then, I stamped the sentiment with the Cardinal on top, added a brad and elastic cord and it was done!  Love this card!

Materials used: card stock: Real Red and Whisper White; DSP Christmas Cocoa Specialty; grosgrain Real Red ribbon; gold elastic cord, gold brad; Real Red and Alway Artichoke markers; Sahara Sand Classic ink and sponge.

Have a terrific week!  : p

Delightful Decorations - yet another one!

Ah the joy of making cards...  This one I made for one of my husband's aunts.  I like the 'happy' feeling of it.  Again, very easy to make: stamp, punch, adhere, done!

All Stampin' Up! materials:  card stock: Ruby Red and Whisper White; DSP: Holiday Lounge; Stamp sets: Delightful Decorations and Serene Snowflakes; silver brads and elastic cord.

Have a terrific weekend!
