In Love with Stampin Blog hop

Well this is a first! My team leader challenged us to do something for the first time and this is one of mine, My very first blog hop. Your should have arrived from here  and afterwards you can make your way to   next blog Phew I hope this all works! The blog hop challenge was to use items from the Spring Summer catalogue As I've been wanting to do a concertina card for a little while now I thought it was the ideal opportunity so here is my project. I really enjoyed doing it and hope you like
it too. I first saw it on this blog I can't actually find the post sorry.

If you have missed any of the others here is a complete list, It would be really helpful if you could leave me a comment as its nice to know where you are in the would thank you. Sue

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

Men!

I think we all have difficulty making mens cards so here are two cards made using mainly SU DSP from the pcks so everthing coordinates beautifully

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.
