Sour Cream Anyone ?

Hi ,

Yesterday was a very busy day for me, not least as it is Valentines day on Saturday (really??!). It's not normally much of an event in our house as birthdays are very soon after etc. but I have been very inspired by the fabby cards and gift ideas on lots of peoples blogs, so yesterday morning *yes,yes, i know last minute!!* I decided to have a go at making a little something for my friends and their kids, and as last nite would be the last opportunity I would have to see them all together I whipped these up...with a little inspiration from Liz @ Pink Petticoat

They were surprisingly easy to make, the only thing which I made complicated for myself was to put different toppers on them !! I made 16 all together, 4 for boys in blue with a brown heart stamped with the heart from the FREE SU! 'polka dot punches' (Set of 4 stamps, available when you spend £45 until end of Feb) but I did have to be careful not to make them too girly or slushy...

The Girls ones I did in pinks and turquoise patterned paper *all downloads from Pink Petticoat* I topped some with the stamp die and love embossing folder that came with my cuttlebug. I stamped the others with the hearts from another FREE set I had when I was a SU! hostess called 'A Little Bit of Happiness' . I inked these up with a felt tip so I just got one image, then layered it with my nestie Labels 1 die. I filled the kids ones with a selection of flying saucers, jelly beans, dolly mixtures and alphabet sweets.

Lastly for the big girls I did dark pink paper and layered up

a circle of friendship stamp onto die cut and punched circles, they were all filled with revels (one for me, one for the pot ,he he !!) I used my Happy valentines stamp on all of the pots, it's from the Seasonal Wishes set again.

They all seemed to like them, so I think it was a success, let me know what you think, and I hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow!

Mojo Monday #73

Good afternoon all,

Todays card is for my hubby who's birthday it is in less than 2 weeks ! Please, lets hope he doesn't read this before then !! I have used the mojo sketch for this week, it is so much quicker to make a card following a sketch !

I am really happy with how this card turned out. I have used my new SU! stamp set "All in the Family " what a fantastic set ! so cool to make exactly the people you want. This is meant to be us 5 ! (incase you wondering...)

I made the card base from a sheet of white A4 card just folded in half and layered it with SU sahara sand cardstock (available in the neutrals assorted card pack) Paper is BG all edged with chocolate chip ink, Ribbon SU 1/4" Night of Navy, Sentiment from the Occaisional Greetings set, Button from stash. All Stampin Up! goods available through me, I can ship anywhere in the country, Please email me for more info.

Edit to say: You really need the Stamp-a-ma jig to use this set properly, such a useful tool for all your stamping, and only£9.50 !

I hope you like it, do let me know,

Bye for now, Sarah-Jane x
