Mosaic Madness Christmas Baubles

How are you today?

I'm dropping in past to share a couple of cards that fit the challenge over at Merry Mondays. The challenge is to use ornaments on your card.

I decided to use Mosaic Madness which makes a rather nifty ornament I thought. I embossed them in gold on Basic Black card then punched out with the matching punch. The card base is Whisper White with a mat of Basic Black before adding a further panel of Whisper White. I stamped some Festive Flurry snowflakes in River Rock stamping off first. Then added the swirl from Everything Eleanor to hang my baubles from. The sentiment from Sassy Salutations was embossed in gold. Basic Pearls finish off the ornaments.

I then tried another colour way using Real Red and added Santa from Santa's List in the corner.

Well that's it for me tonight. Take care and stay crafty! x

Everything Eleanor New Home

Hi Folks. A wet day here, best stay in and craft.

I've made a card using a new technique to me. I have to stay I didn't find this easy and it's not perfect but I'm pleased with it anyway.

I used a Bashful Blue card base with a Whisper White panel stamped with Everything Eleanor in Pumpkin Pie and Bashful Blue. I stamped a second panel in the same way and to start with tried using my Timeless Type Alphabet Junior Sizzlits (retired) to cut out. Didn't really work. All back to front upside down etc. So I re stamped another scrap. Then separately cut out the letters in Whisper White then placed over the stamped scrap and re stamped onto the letters. It means it doesn't match exactly and I'm sure there is a much easier way to do this.

My colour combo was chosen so I could pop this into Dynamic Duos - Pumpkin Pie and Bashful Blue.

I'm also going to enter CASology this week which has a cue card - Word. I'd been struggling to think what to do for the new home card that I needed but then I saw this and knew immediately I wanted to try out this technique.

Everything Eleanor and a Colour Refresh

Back again today with a birthday card for one of the Card Swap Ladies - Victoria. As we didn't know it was her birthday this is going to arrive late. It's also my turn to send a card to Victoria this month so you'll have another one coming from me soon, Victoria!

For my card I followed the colours at Colour Q and took inspiration from the Muse card this week. You can see both below.

I started with a Soft Suede background and added a strip of Whisper White stamped with the swirl from Everything Eleanor in Bashful Bride. The main panel is Calypso Coral stamped with some of the flowers from the set. A pop of Daffodil Delight for the centre punched out using the Boho Blossoms Punch. I then punched the top panel with the Blossom Punch and attached this with some Dimensionals. To finish I added a Basic Rhinestone to the middle of the flower and stamped a little bird in Soft Suede and fussy cut out.

I hope you don't see it before it arrives Victoria but if you do at least today is your birthday!

What's the Colour Refresh? Well it's so exciting and I'm allowed to share it with you now. Stampin' Up! are shaking up their colour palette with 10 new core colours! Some of these are returning In Colours and some are brand new. However it does mean that sadly we are losing 10 colours, so if any are your favourites, stock up now. When they go, they go. That includes not only the card stock and ink but ribbons, buttons etc. in those colours. You can drop me a line and I'll make sure you don't miss out - ails300@btinternet.com

Also Stampin' Up! are discontinuing their Water colour crayons and pencils due to problems with their supplier.

That's you up to date with my news, any questions then drop me a line.

Mother's Day Card and some Scrapbooking

As promised I'm showing you today the card we made on Friday at my Sale-A-Bration party.

I was telling the ladies that the inspiration for the middle panel came from seeing a glass jewellery box on display in Marks & Spencer for Mother's Day. They are all going in to check! Probably looks nothing like the original as it was from memory. Next time I'll take a photo when I see inspiration. Wonder what the staff would think?

Onto the card. This could be a Mother's day card or a birthday. We used the Label Collections Framelits to die cut some Pink Pirouette and Whisper White. We then embossed the Pink Pirouette with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder. The frame was popped up on Dimensionals. We then had fun stamping the middle pieces using stamps from 4 stamp sets. The bird cage has some paper piercing to hang it from. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched out using the Word Window Punch then attached to a Modern Label punch out. A small Basic Rhinestone finishes it off.

This second card was shown as a simpler example.

Next we made a 6" by 6" scrapbook page using stamps, Designer Series Papers and the little punch from this years Sale-A-Bration.

I've listed the supplies below.

It was wonderful to see the different variations that everyone came up with. They were all fantastic even though no-one had scrapbooked before. I now need to make this up into a 12" by 12" page to go into our New York album. We are sitting in Central Park in case you are wondering.

Lastly a big Hi to Morag thanks for following my little blog! Hope you have all had some crafty fun this weekend. xx

A Kiss to build a Dream on

Happy Monday Everyone!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I had a fab time on Saturday demoing at a workshop with the best bunch of ladies. I'll show you the card we made tomorrow. For today I'm catching up with a couple of challenges.

Less is More - One layer week with a theme of music

CAS-ual Fridays - Love song. Choose a song you love to inspire your CAS creation

I've gone for "A kiss to build a dream on" by Jimmy Durante. My husband and I love the sound track to Sleepless in Seattle. Not so much the film. However this song became ours. We would pretend we could dance when playing it at home and once in a silly mood we danced in a layby as the music played from the car. What the other drivers thought I don't know!! When we asked our wedding band if they could play it as our first dance they looked at us strange. We got "Love is all Around" by Wet Wet Wet. At least our guests weren't exposed to some very silly dancing and instead we did a sedate shuffle!! Nowadays we are very tame and all fuddy duddy. No more dancing at home never mind laybys!

So onto the card. First off I printed my computer generated sentiment onto Whisper White (Font - Fabulous 50). I then used my Music Note Wheel in Baja Breeze being quite random and allowing it to fade out. I stamped the flourish from Everything Eleanor in Basic Black and added the splodges from French Foliage in Pink Pirouette. I then punched out a few Cherry Cobbler Glimmery Glitter hearts using the Owl Punch and added them to the flourish.

A lovely welcome to Kristie, thanks so much for joining me here.

Remember to let me know if you are interested in my Stampers 6 (Virtual Hostess) club starting in April. It's so exciting to receive a lovely parcel of goodies each month.

Thanks go out to the lovely ladies at Addicted to Stamps and More for choosing my card last week as a winner. Also thank you to Merry Monday for my honourable mention for this card.

See you all tomorrow. x

Stampin Up Everything Eleanor Freshly Done

Good morning craft peeps! A Freshly Made Sketch for you today.

I wanted to move away from Autumn and Christmas, just for a little while. I decided to use the new In Colours as our new catalogue is going to be with us before you know it. (Monday if you didn't know it, hee hee)

So I had a play around with Everything Eleanor and settled on the smallest flower in the set. I followed the sketch and punched out a flower in Whisper White using the Fancy Flower Punch. Then attached the flowers that I had cut out. For the middle I chose an Antique Brad which also has a flower shape on it. Just love those brads! Onto a panel of Midnight Muse I added strips of Be of Good Cheer Designer Paper. I know, it's a christmas set of papers but I love those polka dots on Gumball Green. For the background panel, I ran the whisper White through the Square Lattice Folder after stamping with my sentiment from Curly Cute. This was attached to a Gumball Green mat and the card base is Midnight Muse.

A big welcome to Susan, Hi Susan! Thanks for following my little blog.

I hope you all have a good day planned today, I'm off to tackle the dreaded housework. Take care and thanks for your visit. x

Edit: Thanks to Suze for pointing out that my card also fits in with Addicted to Stamps and more which has a theme of spring.

Everything Eleanor Card Class

Brrrrr did we just suddenly time travel to winter? Yesterday was so cold, windy and wet.

The card I have to share today was one we recently made at my card class. We started with a Pretty in Pink base and stamped the gorgeous swirls from Everything Eleanor in the same colour ink. We then stamped the label in Bashful Blue and then cut out. How fab is that label? Wouldn't it be great on scrapbooks too as a journalling label? We added the sentiment from Curly Cute in Night of Navy. It fits perfectly. The flowers are first stamped in Pretty in Pink then rolled in Certainly Celery. The flowers were cut out and the large flower was popped up on a Dimensional. Dazzling Diamonds glitter was added to the middle of the flowers. We then had great fun decorating the middle with the same stamps but making the design one layer by masking.

Well I hope today isn't as blustery. Have a good day. x

Everything Eleanor Wedding Card

I can safely show you this Wedding Card as the wedding has now passed.

This is a 6" by 6" card in Whisper White with a Soft Suede mat. I stamped and embossed the sentiment in Gold Embossing Powder. The sentiment comes from Occasional Quotes a retired stamp set. The Top Note Die creates a decorative panel in Very Vanilla and River Rock. I stamped the wonderful flourish from Everything Eleanor in River Rock. Then added a scattering of the smallest Basic Pearls.

The Soft Suede strip has the Baroque Border Wheel rolled across it and embossed in gold. I then attached a couple of hearts punched out with the Full Heart Punch in Very Vanilla and River Rock. I embossed the Very Vanilla heart with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. Then added two medium Basic Pearls.

Here's an example using Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum and silver embossing powder.

I love how you can use the same design but change it up by using different colours.

Hope you are enjoying you holidays. Thanks for taking the time to come by and visit. x

Shiny Shiny Wishes!

Less is More this week is asking for something shiny. Perhaps we could all influence the sun to shine again?

We had the primary school sports day yesterday and it was so cold. Such a shame for the kids. They had a super Olympic theme. They were all split into countries and paraded on waving their countries flags. Our picnic ended up in the school as the heavens opened. Brrrr had to put our heating back on in the evening as was still chilled.

For my card I've used a Very Vanilla base. Stamped the flourish from Everything Eleanor in Baja Breeze. I punched out a flower of Real Red Glitter Card using the Blossom Punch. Then punched out a heart of Very Vanilla. I sponged Frost White Shimmer Paint over it. I inked up the Faith in Nature flower in versamark then stamped in Poppy Parade. I then covered it all in Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. I added a Basic Rhinestone to the centre of the flower to finish off.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture the all the shimmer and sparkle on my photo.

Thanks for calling in past. I'm looking forward to having a look at all the sparkly entries this week. See you tomorrow for another card using the Blossom Punch. x

Get Well Soon Flourish

Hello crafty peeps! Thanks for stopping in past today. Hope you are having a lovely weekend.

I've made a Get Well card today and used the recipe from Less is More which is a one layer this week with a flourish.

I've started with a Very Vanilla card base and made a template of squares. I then stamped the flourish from Everything Eleanor in Basic Grey. Sponged round the edges of the squares in Old Olive using my Sponge Dauber. My little flowers are punched using Itty Bitty Shapes and are Melon Mambo card stock. They each have a little Basic Pearl in the centre. I added a butterfly from the SAB set Elementary Elegance in Melon Mambo. I didn't want the butterflies and flowers competing for attention so stamped off the butterflies on scrap first. The sentiment is from Delightful Dozen and stamped in Melon Mambo.

That's it for me today. Off out to do some much needed weeding! Take care. x

Hanging Around

There's been a few challenges lately that I've been wanting to join in with, but life has been getting in the way! So today I took time out to sit down and join in with this weeks ColourQ.

I've started with a Tempting Turquoise card base then added a mount of Whisper White. A panel of Tempting Turquoise was corner rounded on opposite corners and Birthday from Happiest Birthday Wishes was repeatedly stamped in Tempting Turquoise. My main panel was mounted onto Real Red. I stamped the swirl from Everything Eleanor in Lucky Limeade in the top corner. My little monkey from Fox and Friends was stamped in Island Indigo. I punched a heart from Real Red card stock using the Small Heart Punch. I popped it up on a Dimensional and added a Basic Rhinestone.

Back to normality today. The children are back to school but it's the calm before the storm. Lots of end of year activities.

Thanks for joining me today. Your visits are always appreciated. x

Reading to Woof Woof

A bit of a change today. I've got a scrapbooking page to share with you. I recently demonstrated at a workshop and the hostess is a keen scrapbooker. So I wanted to show that Stampin' Up! are not just for cards but have great products for scrapbooking too.

This is my daughter, aged 2, reading a story to Woof Woof on our summer holidays. She didn't care that the book was upside down and wouldn't let me turn it round!

I've started with a 12" by 12" sheet of Garden Green Card Stock. I stamped the swirly branch from Everything Eleanor in the same colour of green. I cut strips of Beyond the Garden Designer Series Paper to mimic the back of the couch and laid them behind one of the photos and the other is on a mat of melon mambo. "Woof Woof" is Melon Mambo cut with the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet. I then made a little panel along the bottom using some more Designer Series Paper and a set of punches to create little peak a boo journaling squares.

Hopefully this has given you some inspiration. Have a great day everyone! x

Everything Eleanor Best Wishes

I may be put on the naughty step for this one because I've taken a lot of liberty with the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.

What do you think?

My tall panel sits above the top of the card and is Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler. I stamped the superb swirl in Basic Black. I can see this stamp being used loads! Wouldn't it be fab on scrapbook pages too?

The smaller rectangle is my large frame stamped in Soft Suede and cut out. Best Wishes is from Sincere Salutations and stamped in Basic Black. I've brought this part of the sketch to the foreground and popped it up on Dimensionals. I've also added Baja Breeze Pleated Satin Ribbon with one side tucked under the tall panel and the other creating a small loop.

The circle element is my bunch of flowers stamped in Baja Breeze and cut out. The main flower has two layers with some Basic Pearls in the middle.

I hope you can still see the elements of the sketch. Why not have a go yourself. Thanks for stopping in past and for all your lovely comments. They mean a lot! x
