A Little bit of Happiness - Hostess Set




I never knew that this Stamp Set has so many Uses, I love the simplicity of the things you can do with it.

Loads of Love




Well Valentines will be here really, really soon, I am off to see Billy Connolly!!!! I made this cute card on Monday, with my fantastic friends. This will be for my Hubby, who does not know it yet!! I use my Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the hearts, It is such a cool tool, You must get one! I also used Rub Ons, Pastels & Blender Pens!! Cute! I wonder what I will get in return !!!!

Polka Dot Punches!!! SAB set






Sale - A - Bration is coming to an end soon, but I have found the set to be fantastic, especially the Polka Dot Punches. I created these cute cards in a few minutes. I love the colour combination. You could use the Chocolate, Vanilla and Taken with Teal Number as a Wedding Card. On the other card, I have used Versamark, I love Versa Mark, as it just adds another dimension to your cards!

Ahoy Matey


I bought this Stamp Set for my Son, but I have used it 1st while he is in bed LOL
I never use Bold Bright, as they are just not me, but this Stamp Set id asking for them really, I also used some Twine, Scallop Punch, Blender Pens, Markers, Rub Ones, Circle Punches and Glitter.
I think that they look great!

Same Card different folds!!!




I made 2 off these cards, as I made the 1st one, then I showed My Mum In Law how to make it, just like in a make & Take! Si I ended up with 2. I did my 2nd one slightly different. I sed Chocolate Chip (Again!) and Pumpkin Pie, plus Pastels and Versamark, EASY!! 3 Minute Card. Hardest bit Cutting out the flowers. Nice cute small Card using Embrace Life Stamp Set!



This was the most complicated Card of the day. Only because it had lots of elements to it. Bali Breeze Designer Paper, Brads, Signo White Pen, Chocolate Chip Cardstock, 2 Circle Punches (both sizes as before) Rose Red & Chocolate Chip Markers. I made ths into a long card so that I could add lots of elements and I didn't want it to fell squashed up

A Simple Classy Card



I like the simplicity of this card, takes about 3 minutes and has a great impact. I used white embossing for the flowers and Versamark for the middle part. Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Rose Red & Blush Blossom for the Cardstock. I used the corner rounder and "So Many Sayings" Stamp Set in the Hostess Benefits. Simple Easy and anyone car do!

"Embrace Life"





I also like the colours in this card. It is just very mellow. Cardstock Sahara Sand, Groovy Guava & Chocolate Chip. Dashing Designer Paper (we all have some of this left over from Christmas Cards) Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Twine, a button, White Signo to make faux stitches. This is a Tri Fold Card too.

Life is Beautiful!!!


I love the colour combination of this card, and very easy to make. You will need 2 size circle Punches, I used 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" Stampin Up Punches. Same Stamp Set "Embrace Life" Cardstock was Rose Red & Bashful Blue with corresponding Inks. The Designer Paper is Bali Breeze. Took about 5 or 6 mins, due to making the window! I am going to try this card in lots of other colour cominations

Birthday Card "From Me to You"



This card only took about 4 minutes, I only used Stampin Up Products on the card, I used Apricot Appeal, Chocolate Chip, Summer Sun & Pumpkin Pie Cardstock. Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie & Summer Sun Markers. Embrace Life Stamp Set From the Summer Mini Catalogue, I also used "So Many Sayings" Hostess Stamp Set

Gumboots Scrapbook Page

My son is obsessed with wearing my Hubby's Gumboots to go and feed the Chooks. This was taken on Christmas Day (hens still need feeding!) I used Petals & Paisley Designer Paper. Real Red, Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal & Chocolate Chip Cardstock. Pewter Brads, Clear Buttons, Twine. Scallop Punch, Jersey Ribbon Originals. Schoolbook Alphabet Stamp Set. Certainly Celery Ink. I also used the super cute Flower Fusion Felt Flowers from the Summer Mini Catalogue. These are so easy to use, as they already have a hole punched through the middle, great to add that small accent!

1st Card Making of the year


Happy New year to everyone!! Late In know, but I have been away to Lake Brunner, it was so warm and relaxing, I took my Stampin Up Stuff with me, but it never got unpacked!! So I am now back and still chilled, but today I decided to get my wonderful stock out and card make, I am so pleased with what I achieved, I am going to add lots of photo's, its a little like buses! Not anything for ages then they all come at once. I made 8 cards and 1 Scrapbook page. I will list all the items I used to make them and also how long each card took! I only used 1 Stamp set which is EMBRACE LIFE in the 2008-2009 Summer Mini Catalogue.
I hope that you all had a great Xmas & New Year xxx

Simply Said !





I love both of these cards, they use the same Stamp set. I used Black, White & Wild Wasabi in the 1st Photo, and Cameo Coral & Chocolate Chip in the 2nd Shot. Chocolate Chip & Certainly Celery in the 3rd. I also did the flowers in white embossing. I used my New Stamp-a-ma-jig I also used Rub-ons as an accent. I think that these would make great Birthday cards

Acetate Christmas Card


Hiya, I have not posted for a while as I have been so crazy busy, what with School Disco's, Tennis, PTA meeting the list goes on and on, plus card making Classes & Workshops! I made this card at one of my workshops recently, I LOVE IT. I found a similar image on SCS cannot remember the name (sorry) but it is Taken with teal & Real Red cardstock, Real Red Ribbon, Acetate, Festive Favorites Stamp Set and Stampin Glitter. I also used the Individual Markers so that I could do one of the snowmen a different colour. I also used the NEW Scallop Punch, yippee. This is going to be this years Xmas Card, I think it is simple but funky
