Stampin Connection

Over the weekend I placed this ornament on a website for stampin up demonstrators, imagine my delight when I returned to the sight to find it was the top sample this was a really proud moment to think that so many people had left such lovely comments and bothered to have a closer look at my creation.
it was made using 4 lattice dies scored and folded like a fan

with a single cut to the middle. Glue the centre folds together and then glue each piece together. place a large circle in cherry cobbler behind  and glue and a stamped flower from the hostess set morning Meadow or Flower Shop in the centre and a frosted Finish Embellishment from the Autumn winter Cattalogue.

Swirls and Pearls

I love this embossing folder and bought it just before it retired but I think its so suitable for weddings and anniversaries so I've used it to enter the challenge on Make my Monday this week http://mimchallegeblog.blogspot.co.uk/ I  hope you like it. I shall also be using it for my Aunt's anniversary next week.can you guess what I used for the bells I'll give you a clue its a punch!

Time!

Where does it go, I seem to be working hard but not a lot to show for it.

I've been using up some scraps from my old paper stash  to make these cards. Although there is 0one using this years fabulous new /Christmas Paper Winter Frost . I loving this paper, I'll be showing other cards I've made using this paper.soon.

These are called sundial cards fanning out for a point on the edge of a piece of card then attached to your main card.

In The Pink

As some of you know I have had to have an op a few weeks ago, hence not much news on here.  I'm making good progress and almost back to normal.I have been crafting though so here's a sample of one of my cards I love these telescopic style cards they look quite small in the envelopes and then they extend to a lovely size. this one folds to 5" x5"
but extends to about 16" You can make them any size ideal for people without a die cut machine. I made one last year for Christmas. I've used Fabulous Florets and Sassy Salutations. With Always Artichoke and Pink Pirouette inks with second generation stamping to vary the leaf colouring. Hope your all enjoying the summer weather I can't remember not wearing a coat for so long! Will try and blog more often.

Old Papers

Good Morning,

Sorry I've been absent for a while. I've had an operation but (and a little scare) but all is on the mend now. even my mojo. so today I have a card or two to share although I've used some of my very favourite papers sadly now discontinued you could use any papers that go together well. I used 7cm squares of paper to make the carrier bags scored at 1 cm sides and bottom and two small circle punches to make the handles. I love the Happy birthday stamps just right for the younger people a bit sassy don't you think. They are called Sassy Salutations.

I'm waiting for my new stash to arrive I only ordered it Monday eve and its down for delivery today so can't wait Festive flurries stamps and dies two lots of papers and a Christmas tree. I've been making Christmas cards using hostess gift stamp sets so I have more cards to post using these.

 

Hope you like them!

A New Catalogue

Such an exciting day a new catalogue for you to peruse and order from. I've had some new products to play with and today I can order the other things I need!. Lovely new papers and stamps can't wait for my parcel to come. I'm just waiting for a couple of ladies to get back to me and I'll be pressing the button.

Here are the make and takes we did at my recent launch party quite simple but I think you'll agree still eye catching.

 

The first picture uses the beautiful Gingham garden Papers and also the new Artisan Label Punch with Label Love stamps.

 

The second uses one sheet of DSP and the same punch and stamps together with the Scallop Trim border perfect for putting a cheque or money in the centre pocket.

 

 

If you would like your own catalogue or to order anything from it I would love to hear from you.

 



Been busy!!!

Life sometimes gets so busy that theres no time to do my favourite things, but his is quite a simple card I 've made this week using old and new from stampin up The old is the soon retiring elegant lines embossing folder and the new is the simply pressed clay and moulds for the little flowers on the bells. Do you know what I've used for the bells? Its the bib from the owl punch. Joanne Galnar's idea at Regionals just love it.. We had a blast last night at my launch party where I showed the ladies how easy the flowers are. My downline Michelles demo was with the Best of flowers set super topper she made.I'll try and get a photo to post ASAP.  Off to play some more now  Hope to be back sooner rather than later!
