14 and Simply Sassy!

My daughter turned 14 last weekend.  So grown up! It's a bit scary really, well for Mum and Dad! 

I always like to do a special card for her birthday and decided to choose this rather Sassy lady to colour using my Copic Sketch pens. 

Isn't she fab?  I've teamed her with Stampin' Up! products.  A stamped panel using Flower Shop In Basic Grey, Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz.  I then added a sentiment tag using Number of Years and the corresponding framelits. This set is super for adding numbers to your cards.

We took my daughter and her friends to Blair Drummond Safari Park for her birthday.  It was a brilliant day out.  The girls had a ball.  My daughter had a schedule all worked out so all my husband and I needed to do was have the picnic ready for them coming back to the car and of course being taxi drivers. 

This weekend she is off on a Guiding camp.  Must be great being 14!!!

Flower Shop Note Cards

A cute set of note cards for any occasion and so quick to rustle up.

I made these the same size as the front of a normal card blank so they slip easily into an envelope.

The base is Marina Mist card with a Whisper White panel.  I added a strip of Designer Paper, the delicious Something Borrowed (retired). Although this paper series was in the wedding section, I love to show that it can be used for any occasion. 

The flowers are stamped from Flower Shop and punched out using the Pansy Punch.  You might not be able to tell from the photo but I used two different coloured card stocks for the flowers - Soft Sky and Pool Party.  The flowers were stamped in Pool Party and Marina Mist. The front flower is popped up on a Dimensional and both have Basic Rhinestone centres.

These are perfect for dropping a little note or thank you and being only one side won't cost an arm and a leg in postage! 

We had a snowy morning but all gone by this afternoon.  However very cold, windy and wet.  Brrrrr so glad to be inside all cosy and getting crafty!

Hello Flower Shop

April showers in May! 

On Sunday we were all soaked through after going out for a walk with Jess and had to turn back.  Then today after a long walk Jess and I got caught again in the rain and was soaked through.  By the time we reached the house the sun was back out again. 

Here are my flowers at my door that my daughter potted up for me.  

I've used this as my inspiration for my card today.  We are asked to choose either 3 different colours or 3 tones of the same colour over at Less is More this week.

I've gone for Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry.  I stamped my first flower from Flower Shop in Rich Razzleberry.  I masked it with a post it note and stamped again in the other colours.  I also masked the sides.  I used my Blender Pen to colour in any parts missed.  I stamped Hello from Four You in Pumpkin Pie.  I then corner rounded one corner of the Whisper White panel and attached to a Naturals White card base.  To add a little extra glimmer I attached the smallest Basic Rhinestones to the middle of the central flower. 

Now for some exciting Stampin' Up! news to share with you.

Flower Shop Thank You

I'm playing with the In colours again.  Sorry I just can't seem to stay away from them when I'm looking at colours.  I wouldn't have put these colours together myself but they just work don't you think?

Two new stamp sets to play with.  The first was this fab sentiment from Four You.  Then I used the flowers from Flower Shop and punched one out with the Pansy Punch.  I've used a Bashful Blue card base to set off the colours. 

I made these cards to go into my last workshop customer's bags, to show my appreciation for their orders but I'm also going to use it as an on line Thank You to my first on line customer.  Yipee it was such a boost to receive my e mail from Stampin' Up! to say I had an order! 

  Thank you Susan.  Mwah x 

Susan has a super blog which you can see here.  Do pay her a visit, she has wonderful creations on there and always finishes off her cards to a high standard with the middles all beautifully decorated too. 

Hope you enjoy your new downloads and other goodies!  There'll be a little something extra winging it's way to you as a real Thank You! 

Do you fancy becoming one of my on line customers?  In Susan's own words it's "easy peasy!"  I'd love to help you with your crafty creations!  

Bye for now.  xx
