Friends

This week I've had a change from cards and made one or two pictures frames. I used my punches for the flowers, with a little being and tweaking. Stamped the leaves direct onto the frame (with a few deep breath s). I like to use silicone for putting it altogether as this gives you time to wiggle your flowers and set them at different angles. The sentiment is from inkylicious couldn't resist this. Frame from I Kea.

Pine Cone 2


  1. Thought you might like to see how this card has developed since last time. I saw on Sally Jo Houghton facebook page how to bevel the baubles and make them 3 d love the effect this makes a real WOW card now. Using only two inks my old favourites Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive . The baubles are cut out and embossed using your pricking mat and a ball tool to press in circular movements and make the raised shape. The tag are made from the left over piece of the card cut into 2" strips and using the tag punch to make the top leave square or round with the envelope punch. All tools may be purchased from me by emailing me.

Early Christmas




I've been using a set of my new stamps today, Ornamental Pine, WOW what a set I've used all the stamps but I've made lots of different cards. Here are three of then. I've so many ideas with this stamp set. these are the cards we've made at my class tonight. The first one is stamped using Night of Navy ink and card with silver embossed cones. the second is a little layering , old olive ink and Baked Brown Sugar for the cones and writing.
The last one I went for the in colours Tango twist, Mossy Meadow ,Lost Lagoon, and Hello Honey. I stamped the baubles first then masked them and stamped the pines with first second and third generation layers, with Christmas Wishes all from one set.

This little card uses the heat embossing technique, I've not used this for some time but love the look of the gold and blackberry bliss together. The stamp set is a hostess set called Bloom of Hope.

First Album

 A couple of weeks ago my friends hired a cottage near by for a weeks crafting and shopping. What a fantastic time I had, we shopped and crafted for four days. Great time was had. I learned new skills, crackle glazing, distressing MAY,  and I made an album. I wasn't, t really expecting to do anything like this at all. Now I have more stash and more ideas thanks to some superb tuition from Shirli @ shirlscards. Trying to blog from my tablet so it's another learning curve this is the third attempt so please bear with me. For my album I have used Graphic 45 papers. Enjoy your weekend everyone of to craft.

Fabulous Florets

So sorry I've been absent for so long, I've been busy with a wedding cake, invitations, classes to name a few things. Not being a computer whizz  doesn't help either, but I'm here now with a card using fabulous Florets this is retiring on the 30th June but I thought I'd share this with you today. I've used 2013/14 In Colours and I still love them although the new 2014/15 in colours are gorgeous. These are much more subtle the new colour are deeper and vibrant. My Launch Party is on Saturday 5th where I'll be show casing these in a selection of cards and packaging. Hopefully I'll be a bit more regular again now things have calmed down.

Male Concertina


 
Hope you've all had a lovely Easter the weather was very kind to me I was in Yorkshire over the weekend and only saw rain in the night!
I had time to make some concertina cards here is my masculine version. to make you need to cut a 12 x 12 piece of DSP at 4" and 8" score at 21/2" 5" 71/2" an 10". On two pieces score with the tag punch and trim off the excess edges. on the third cut off the last 2" piece and  glue centre section together. Cut 10 pieces of contrasting paper at 2" x 31/2" for backgrounds and 10pices at 13/4" x 31/4" in Whisper white and decorate as you wish. I've used the candles from the Birthday Candles, Words from Cycle Celebration, Sketch Alphabet and Numbers and 1" circle punch with the11/4" scallop circle punch to outline. DSP Neutrals

Mothers Day


these are the photos of Mothers Ay cards made by my two grandchildren for their Mum. I think they are great the first one is Travis's typical boy wanted to do a card his way. Sophie wanted to cut out the tiny rabbits in the corners she's made such a good job at only six years old, the ears are so tiny,it would have been so easy to cut them off! They both stamped the Mothers day greeting very straight and in line well done both of you. I promised I'd put the pictures on my blog as they often have a little peep to see whats going on.

Team Meeting

One of the best things about being a Stampin Up Demonstrator is being part of a team and last Saturday we had our quarterly team meeting. I volunteered to do the make and take I'd see a lovely little box to put in Easter eggs and thought I'd adapt it. here my version matches the Easter card I posted the other day .I've used Petite Petals stamps and punch again to make the daffodil heads and the ting flower from Banner Blast stamps free with a  £45 order until 31st March It fits the punch from itty bitty punches. Using these stamps and punches make life so much easier and quicker to cut out. the bag was also free in The offer at the moment

Easter Time

Hi,

I made this last week in case my ladies at card class had some spare time after making a card in the box. I also took it too our team meeting to share with them how the Petite Petals bundle can be use. its great value at £18.75 for the stamp set and a punch. Although they can be bought on their own.
I will share with you soon the little Easter box I shared with them. I also used the love and sympathy set for  the leaves.

Petite Sobet

Today I'm sharing a card using Petite Petals with The free papers sweet sorbet available if you purchase £45 of stampin up products until the end of March. Its a perfect example of how the 2013-14 In Colours work together. in fact any of the Stampin up Families of colours work together. I think this is one of my favourite colour combinations at the moment. Very fresh, have you seen the ting butterflies? Happy Stampin today.

My Card in a Box


This is my version of a card in a box,  I've used to ink the roses is called the baby wipe technique, put a baby wipe in a shallow dish and add a few drops of  reinker. on this occasion I used pacific point and melon mambo. First stamp your stage one rose with pretty in pink and then second stage (the detail) using the baby wipe ink and you get a varied rainbow effect for the veins.
