Tea and Crumpets

Morning folks,

It's gone cold here today :( Hope it's better wherever you are.

I have a little card today for a friend to give to her Great Auntie, I have made a spinner style card for this one, thanks to the lovely Julie, my SU! mum. Great tutorial BTW!

I have used Tea and crumpet papers, Pocket Silhouettes, Sincere salutations for the sentiment, Pretty in Pink Taffeta ribbon and a selection of punches all SU!

Here is a little piccie of the inside, thought I would use up some of the punched out "waste"

Well that's it for today, I have GOT to do some tidying ready for tomorrow and my first ever class!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and any comments you may leave,

Hugs Sarah-Jane xx

2 ways with Sale-a-bration

Hi again,

2 posts in one day eh? get me !!

I have some crafting yummyness to show you this afternoon !!I saw these on the craftworks card stand at Make it! on saturday and I think they are just scrummy !!

I have made mine with a scalloped circle by SU! (They call them "Carousel Notes") which my lovely SU! Mum sent me for my birthday- thank-you Julie ((hugs)) as soon as I saw them I knew what I was going to do !!!

##For both I used close to cocoa ink and cardstock and pretty in pink carousel note##

For the top one I Stamped randomly with the flower from the set "Polka dot punches" all over the carousel note, then onto close to cocoa cardstock the framed saying from the "Yummy" set, I cut it out and mounted onto foam pads, Chocolate drops from CWC round the outside, ribbon from stash, eggs gone in a flash !!

And for the second bag I have masked the swirls on another stamp from "Yummy" (3 in the set altogether) and positioned with my Stamp-a-ma-jig to get it in the middle. I then stamped the flower again from the "polka dot punches" straight onto cardstock, and pnched out with 1, 1/4" punch. Eggs were put into a spare card bag then attatched with d/s/tape.

So there it is, my 2 ways with 2 sets of Sale-a-bration !

****ONLY AVAILABLE FOR 2 MORE DAYS****

So if you want one (or both!) sets you need to order £45 worth (for each set) soon !!

Please let me know which one you like best,

Thanks for looking, Sarah-Jane xxx

Calender Girl !!

Morning all,

Today I thought I would share with you... no, not a card... definately no, not a piccie of me posing for a calender (PHEW!!!)... but a calender top I made for a blank calender I found which I keep above my computer...

The first one was from January (surprise!!) but I never got round to posting it, sorry, It uses SU! grey card (from the neutrals pack) with BG paper and my lovely Sugar Nellie stamp 'Penpal' , coloured in with my watercolour pencils, Flower from stash, large brad mm I think.

Second month, yep you guessed it Feb !! he he. Using pink card from stash and my FREE SU!'Polka dot punches' stamp set I had when I spent £45. This month is pretty basic but I think it is quite effective. Stamped the heart all along the centre and them stamped some more hearts onto spare card then cut them out and layered them up with foam pads. Ribbon from stash, hearts with added bling in the form of glitter glue.

Well I hope you like todays post, don't forget to leave me a comment so I know, and thank-you if you do !!

Have a great weekend, Hugs,

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!
