Thank You

Thank you for being patient.  I'm sorry it's been some time since I last posted. 

As I'm saying thank you, it seemed appropriate to post the little thank you card that I included in my Stamper's 6 and customer bags last month. 

This little card was so easy to make which is great when you need multiples. 

I've used a Wisteria Wonder background with a panel of Whisper White.  Then stamped Hardwood in Soft Sky.  I used the absolutely gorgeous set Painted Petals and stamped some flowers decorated on top in Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz.  I then stamped the flower heads in Marina Mist and fussy cut out.  I popped them up on Dimensionals and added some glitter.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set and is stamped in Perfect Plum.  

I can't believe we are so far into April!  It's been a gorgeous day here more like summer than spring.  Our new catalogue will be here before we know it too.  The date has changed to the 2nd June so our Retiral List has come out today! 

Have a look and grab your bargains before they all disappear for good.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.  x

A cute little thank you

This was my little thank you for my Stamper's 6 club the other  month.

I had so much fun making this little treat tag.  I used the treat cups and the Chalk Talk Framelits.  The designer series paper is from the beautiful Park Lane set.  I complimented it with Old Olive card stock and this gorgeous Calypso Coral Chevron Ribbon. It makes a little gift amazing. 

For the little card I just added some scallop circles and the sentiment from Itty Bitty Banners. 

I used skittles in my treat cups but I'm sure you can be very creative with what you fill them with. 

Have a great day.  xx

Fun Flowers Thank You

I've had fun today playing with some of my Bigz Dies.  The Less is More challenge this week is asking us to use die cuts on our cards this week.  

I started with the an old favourite,Top Note.  I added it to a card blank of Naturals White.  Then imitated the perforations by hand drawing around the Top Note in Wild Wasabi.  My sentiment is from Perfectly Penned stamped in Wild Wasabi.  I made my large bloom using Fun Flowers and went with all the purples - Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder and Rich Razzleberry.  The brad in the middle was made using a Candy Dot with a Brad Base.  If you haven't noticed these before they are super.  You can have brads in any colour just when you need them.

Lots of new things happening.  Check out this promotion.  

You can become a demonstrator for the super low price of £50 (choose a starter kit to the value of £55).  This low price is available from now through June.

Summer Silhouettes Thank You

Good Morning! 

I've survived the sleep over.  The girls have had fun if not a lot of sleep! 

I managed to sneak into my craft room for some crafting TLC whilst the girls took Jess for a walk this morning.  So I've joined in with Less is More which has a one layer week and we've been asked to do some shadow stamping.  You can create some super effects. 

I've used a Crumb Cake card base and stamped Summer Silhouettes in Whisper White then again in Strawberry Slush.  I added the sentiment from Four You.  Then I was off looking for a small butterfly and remembered Elementary Elegance.  It was just the perfect size.  i knew it would be handy to hang onto this set!  It was also stamped first in Whisper White then again in Coastal Cabana.  

This was so quick and easy to do. 

What would you do?  Love to see your creations over at Less is More. x

Just Sayin' Gee Thanks

A little card to share a big Thank You.  

This is my thank you card for last month's Stamper's 6 ladies.  I wanted to show that Zoo Babies can be used for more than baby cards.  

I used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour directly onto the stamps.  The sentiment is from Just Sayin' and die cut with the corresponding framelits.  The Whisper White panel has trimmed edges using the Tiny Wave Stampin' Trimmer Rotary Cutter.  This was so much fun to use.  I was almost searching round the house to see what else I could trim! 

It is always sad when a Stamper's 6 term finishes but it also means a new one is starting.  You are not too late to jump on board and be my newest member of the Virtual Hostess Club. Drop me a line.

Cheers for now.  x

Stampin Ups Perfectly Penned Poppies

I'm loving seeing crocus' and snowdrops popping up.  Also our daffies which are starting to come through.  Is Spring on it's way? 

It's a great time to join in with Less is More this week as they have a colour theme of Green and Yellow, just right for Spring. 

I love poppies and Stampin' Up!'s Pleasant Poppies stamp makes a great background.  I inked it up with Pistachio Pudding, but before stamping I coloured a single bloom with Always Artichoke Stampin' Write Marker.  Once stamped I then coloured the spot lighted flower with Daffodil Delight. 

For the sentiment I chose the beautiful Perfectly Penned and stamped it in Always Artichoke onto velum.  I used 4 candy dots to hide my glue.  I then popped up the panel on Dimensionals and attached to a Pistachio Pudding base. 

We've had a lovely sunny day today.  Great for out walking the dog and taking some time to craft. 

  It's the beginning of March and we are in our last month of Sale-A-Bration, the best time to add to your stash and earn a freebie or two.  

Like earning free products?  Then why not join my Virtual Hostess Club and whilst spreading the cost of your wish list, you will also be Virtual Hostess for a month.  Entitling you to a minimum of £25 to spend anywhere in the catalogue.  Only 2 places left.

Chalk Talk Thanks

Wow.  My card for today turns out to be so appropriate as I need to say thank you to the LIM ladies for choosing my card to be showcased.  You can see my entry here.  It was such a surprise especially after my long break and I felt so rusty when I sat down to do the card!

This is actually my little thank you cards for my Stamper's 6 ladies.  I got the inspiration from the little box of chocolates that I included. 

Don't you think the text looks a little like Chalk Talk?  I embossed the text with white embossing powder and added a Pumpkin Pie small heart punch.  The Gold Foil was cut with the Chalk Talk Framelits.  I added the Pumpkin Pie strip to reflect the orange strip on the box.  

So it's a double lot of thanks! 

Hope you have lots of lovely Christmas events over the weekend.  Keep cosy and take care. x

Back with Magnificent Maple

Oh me what a dreich day!! 

Need a quick translation?  

A combination of dull, overcast, drizzly, cold, misty and miserable weather. At least 4 of the above adjectives must apply before the weather is truly dreich.

I can testify we are definitely hitting all the adjectives! 

But to brighten my day I thought I'd share this little card with you.  This is my thank you card I made for customers last month.  It's using Stampin' Up!'s Magnificent Maple with a combination of Gorgeous Grunge. 

The card base is Early Espresso with a Whisper White mat.  I stamped the maple leaf in Early Espresso then randomly stamped Gorgeous Grunge on top of it in Calypso Coral and So Saffron. I thought the natural look of the Natural Trim Ribbon helped finish it off. 

My Stampers 6 Ladies always receive a little something extra so I added a handbag made with the Petite Purse Bigz Die filled with some sweets.  They also got some hand gel to put in their real handbags! 

I used Calypso Coral card stock and the Epic Day papers as decoration. The button detail was achieved with the Boho Blossoms punch and a retired brad. 

Did you see the news yesterday?  Lots of extras to be had from Stampin' Up!  Have a look to keep up with all the exciting offers. 

I'm off to be nurse maid to my daughter.  She has been sent home from school with a migraine, poor lamb. 

Keep cosy and I hope it's not dreich with you!  x

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

Thank You Teacher

Hello from a sunny Aberdeen!  

I'm sharing my card today for the Less is More challenge which is a colour week.  The ladies at LIM have got the nation all taking photos of their front doors. (What will the neighbours think!! )  As we are to use the colour of our front door.

Here's my door as you can see it's brown but as it's quite an orange brown so I've included some orange in my card.  As it's due to be painted a dark brown I've also got Early Espresso in there.  The touch of grey is from the step. 

I decided to make a Teacher Thank You card whilst looking at my new papers - Epic Day - from the This and That Range.  I know it's for my holiday journal but I couldn't resist using some of it to make up a card.  I thought the letters, ruler and numbers were perfect for teacher card. 

I've followed the sketch at CASe this Sketch but turned it on it's side.  You can see the sketch at the bottom of my post.  I started with a card base of Crumb Cake and attached a panel of Early Espresso.  I then added some strips of Washi Tape.  Lovely stuff to work with.  Tears easily and peels off easy too!  The beige Washi Tape has numbers on it.  I then cut the letters from Designer Series Paper and attached them with Dimensionals.  The two patterned paper banners are from the same sheet of paper.  Isn't the ruler fab?  I then stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral on Whisper White. 

Just for your info the This and That Range is still available for purchase even though the bundle offer finished at the end of May.  

Hope you had a good weekend.  We visited my new nephew on Saturday and had loads of cuddles.  So cute! 

Take care.  x

Create A Cupcake Thank you's

Here's a quick card for you.  

This is a little thank you I made up for my Stamper's 6 ladies.  I wonder what they will do with their Cute Clips?

I've used the delightful Baja Breeze and the Create A Cupcake set with matching Builder Punch.  I popped the little heart up on a Dimensional.  I used my Paper Piercing Essentials Mat pack to add a little decoration to the Whisper White panel.  Doesn't the Top Note Bigz Die make a super topper?  So easy to do with little effort.
