More Quick Cards

Hello

Back again today with a couple of quick and easy cards using the Fresh Vintage SAB stamp set

This on is stamped simply in Melon Mambo with a Night of Navy card base

 With some gorgeous denim ribbon knotted and adhered across the bottom

More Melon Mambo card with matching scallop dotted ribbon, this is a great way to use smaller pieces of off cuts but still add a bit of punch

 this is the same image stamped with Versamark and heat embossed using Silver embossing powder, punched out using the 1+3/4" circle punch

That's it for today from me, I'm off to do paperwork, yay! ;-)

Back tomorrow with a brag book inspired from convention 2010

Thanks for visiting today and if you would like to place an order or perhaps would like more info on becoming a SU! demo yourself then please message me for a chat :-)

A Different Take

Hello there,

Today I have a different version of the Mothers Day class 3d frame.

This one I have made for my Zoe and you could make something similar if you don't want to make the Mother's Day Version, but remember, Thursday is the last day to book in for this class :-)

This colour combo for Zoe's frame is Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo with White as the neutral. I used this colour combo as it matches her bedroom.

Message me if you would like to come along and join us for this class

Thansk for visiting today,

Quick card to share

Hello!

I am a bad blogger so I have a really quick post before I go to work tonight, making a really super quick but effective card

I used the fab Outlined Occasions (Sale-a-Bration freebie set) on Melon mambo card, heat embossed in Silver

I actually made these before I did hubby's the other day, just sharing this way round :-)

So, I coloured the wording in using the Versamark pen again, love this look

and a little bit of spotted scalloped ribbon to finish it off

O.K. It really is a quick post tonight, message me if you would like to get a hold of these stamps for free on sarah-janerae@sky.com and we can have a chat :-)

Hugs from me tonight!

Josh is 15!!

OMG! How old do I feel???!!! Lol!

He doesn't want to do much (typical teen!) so we had brunch and then we are going to chill today I think?

So this was the card I made for him, nice and crisp I think with Black and Lucky Limeade. I did use my old faithful (but retired) Engraved Greetings, so perfect for male cards, which I stamped in Versamark and used White Embossing powder to make it pop on the Limeade

Borderlines was used across the bottom, stamped in Old Olive with a little button to decorate seeing as I am not allowed to use a big ribbon bow ;-)

and to match the card I purchased this large glass jar, filled it with sweets and decorated it using the star punch (also retired) and some matching ribbon

the top of the jar also had a little SU! love

Well, that's it for now. I'm off to tidy the bombsite I call my craft room :-)

Thanks for visiting today

Happy stampin'!

Thank You

Good Morning!

Yesterday was my birthday and I received such a lot of wonderful cards (and gifts!) in the post so I wanted to share these with you today. I was truly overwhelmed at the amount of cards I received.

Thank-You to every body, it was very much appreciated and made my day even more special :-)

Thank-you again everybody, I loved them all!!
Big Hugs from me :-D

Happy Birthday Neil!

Hello there,

Yesterday was my lovely hubby's birthday, I was V-E-R-Y behind and hadn't even made his card but luckily (for me) he had to take his car to the garage and so I made this card for him yesterday morning! On the face of it it is a really quick and simple card, however it took me an absolute age to make, mostly because I had a complete mental freeze and couldn't think of any men's style cards to make! I am quite happy with the end result but anyway, here it is for you to judge...

I stamped the Outlined Occasions (Free SAB set) with versamark and heat embossed it with silver powder, once this was melted I coloured the letters in with a Versamark Pen, a great little tool every crafter should own ;-)

I used Not Quite Navy card with Basic Black, and made matching tags with more silver embossing powder tied onto some more of the lush wide striped grosgrain ribbon

the inside was finished with the matching sentiment from Outlined occasions, I love this font!

Well, I am off out today, don't know where yet hubs is surprising me (I hope!)

Thanks for visiting today

Another Challenge!

O.K. I have been trying to upload this post since late Monday night, Blogger and IE apparently are not friends right now?! But here we are finally ;-)
Another day, another challenge, that two this week and yes, I know! Challenges are like buses at this here blog but when I saw Mandi and Chrissies challenge this week over at LIM was Punches and/or Die cuts I couldn't resist joining in. As you know though I am generally a more is more kinda girl so please, if this is not CAS enough, do feel free to discount it from the challenge :-)

To begin though I must show you the inspiration for the colour combo of Rich Razzleberry and Wisteria Wonder (I also added Sahara Sand as the Neutral) regular readers  may know I was at Gunwharf Quays the other day and when I was there I spotted this stack of towels in a display area. Crazy lady that I am I stood and took a photo of said display (see Zoe waiting patiently too in the reflection, as well as a gawping me, pritty, not!)

and this is the end result of afore mentioned inspiration

Lots of Itty Bitty Punches, DSP flowers and Rhinestones with the fab new 'Borderlines' flower stems to sit on top of (Borderlines can be seen on page 13 of the MINI catalogue)

Now, you can't really see on the top two pics but I also gave this a generous helping of shimmer mist (shimmer paint mixed with Alcohol) so this photo under artificial light (hopefully) shows the sparkle a little more

Well, that today's card, I am off out today with the girls so I really hope this post goes up on time?? I will like it onto the LIM blog later
Thanks for looking and I really hope this is OK for the challenge
Stampin' Hugs for today,

Mothers Day Class

Hello there

I have just popped on late tonight to share my project for my Mothers Day Classes being held on the 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th March.

 I have very limited places for this class so please contact me asap to reserve a spot :-)

  Last date for booking this class will be the 1st March

In this class we will be making this framed gift and this is my Mothers Day inspiration but I will be sharing at least one other insert (if you do not wish to make this for Mothers day)  

Plenty of  other colour combos will be available on the day and this would make a great gift for many other occasions too including New Baby, Birthdays, or even for yourself to match a room in your home?

This class will run each day from 10-12.30 or until you have finished ;-)

I really hope you will be able to join us and look forward to hearing from you soon to reserve your place
