Hearts a Flutter Bundle

Hello there,

I have a whole heap of cards to share with you today, so please be warned, super long post with ooodles of pictures! Grab a cuppa and enjoy.

 I was recently asked by my upline Julie to make a selection of cards using a product from the Spring/Summer catalogue and I chose the Hearts a Flutter bundle! I am loving this set with it's matching framelits but I hadn't seen it around the web too much, so I got to work and had a play. 

This is what I came up with...

I will share three in close up with you today, saving the other two for tomorrow! I love the colours of this card, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit and Raspberry Ripple

 the middle heart is backed with Patio Party DSP, with the other hearts being stamps from the set. Sliver glimmer paper hearts punched with the small heart punch are in between and the very lovely honeycomb embossing folder was used too

 Summer Starfruit ribbon with a vintage faceted button (again) in the centre

 So, for the second card today I wanted to make a man's card, the set doesn't immediately shout men's cards but I think this is just perfect for those guys in your life, 

 just change out the "Dad" (from For My Family) to personalise it for whoever you like ;-) 

"Worlds Greatest" was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed using white embossing powder.

 the mini button brads above and this mini safety pin are from the Vintage Trinket pots, tied here with a bit of Midnight muse ribbon, but not too much so as it's "girly"!

 and you can see the curl and spritz that I gave the banners here

 Now, this is the last close up for today  ;-)

This card was made using just the small heart die from the Hearts a Flutter set and Comfort Cafe DSP.

I die cut 3 layers of each of the 6 papers shown here, inked the edges of each heart in Crumb Cake and layered them with just a tiny bit of glue in the centres, 

  then I stamped the background with Versamark ink using the hearts from the Confetti stamp set, adhered the hearts fully to the card front and sewed straight(ish) down the centres with Navy thread 

 More Midnight Muse ribbon, I'm on a bit of a Midnight Muse roll today it would seem!

 and finally a shot of the depth, luckily this would fold fairly flat for posting although it would surely be a large letter with the ribbon knot too, but at least it wouldn't need a box!

Right, I hope you have enjoyed today's post and if you are reading this bit then at least you haven't fallen asleep with all the pics! ha ha!

Back tomorrow with the other two cards from this set to share with you

Owl Punch Birthday Wishes

Hello there!

I hope all is well with you, I am still getting ready for Saturday's All Day class and due to popular demand I am looking running it again at the beginning of October, it will probably be on a weekday running 9-3 so as to fit in with the school run ;-) please do let me know if you would be interested in joining us? I will be posting all the projects we are making in the next couple of days. 

Anyway, today I have the birthday card I made for Neil's Dad to share with you. 

I wanted something a bit fun and as I haven't used the Owl punch in a while I decided to give him a whirl!

 I made the tree with the large scallop circle punch and stamped it using the leaves from the ever versatile confetti stamp set, I hand cut the "trunk" from brown card

 Teeny Tiny Wishes Birthday sentiment and the retiring Just Perfect Alphabet was used on the pennants

 and I added a couple of pennants to finish off the inside.

Right, I'm off to cut more card! Thanks so much for stopping by today :-)

Stampers Club cards

Hello there

I have got a couple of cards to share with you today, the first is the kit card I sent out with this months orders and uses a cool tecnique making a double layered die cut butterfly. I unfortunately cannot find the original link from the lovely lady who devised this fab tecnique, I remember I read she demo'd it at Australian convention so if there is someone out there who knows her blog please message me so I can credit back as I love this idea :-)

That said, here is my card for June using a wisteria wonder butterfly with sweet shop DSP underneath, confetti stamps decorate the large butterfy and a strip rhinestones finish the centre.

 OK, so lot sof butterflies today, I made these little cards to send with their orders using the same Bigz butterfly die, smae dsp and cofetti stamp set too. It is quite a different look to the first card though?

 more rhinestones

 and 3 together (Couldn't get the rest on the stand ;-))

Right, must dash and get kiddies, 

Thanks for visiting today

Hello there,

 I have another class of ladies coming this morning, it should be fun! If you would like to join us for the next class, which is a Valentines Class, then please message me to reserve a spot :-) I will get the projects photographed tomorrow in the daylight and have them ready to share with you in the next day or so :-)
Anyway, back to today's card. Zack needed a birthday card and I decided to use All in the Family stamp set, I haven't used this one in a while (again)!

teamed with Big Top Birthday Designer Series Paper. Sentiment is from the hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes, they are all such great sets, the hostess ones, in this catalogue, and the best part with the new hostess system is you can have your choice of any of the sets with just £150 order/workshop, message me to set a date for yours!

Star punch (retired) decorates inside

and an arty angle to finish for you today

OK, that's all for now, I will be back tomorrow with more craftyness for you.

Thanks for stopping by,

Stampin' hugs for today,

Happy Birthday Evelyn!

Good Morning

Today is my good friend Evelyns birthday, Evelyn is a SU! demo in the Jems team too and I was lucky enough to spend a fair bit of time with her during convention and as we were both going home late on the Sunday we also spent an extra day in Disneyland Paris too, great!

Here she is overlooking the castle

what a fab day we had! So anyway, I made her a card using the gorgeous Pool Party with a touch of Calypso Coral and Basic grey, LOVE this colour combo from the Domestic Goddess DSP!!

I also stamped the coffee stirrer stems using tiny tags but they did run a touch after I had adhered them, doh!

I made the little pin wheels with the square punches from SU!, adding a flower brad in the centre of one (pic came out blurry so I dumped it!) and 1/2" DSP circles topped with crystal effects in the centres of the other two,

I used the scallop edge punch along the bottom and then used the mat pack and paper piercer to embellish this,

Yummy embossing frame was used here, it fits the large oval punch inside ;-) and the sentiment is from Perfect Punches which I inked using markers

Inside was stamped with Confetti in Pool Party along with the front of the card where I used versamark with this stamp, IYKWIM!

and finally, if you are still with me, an arty angle to finish :-D

Thanks for hanging in there, it is a bit picture heavy, I know!

Zack is off to a party today and I have more prep to do for the res of this weeks classes so I am off,

Thanks for stopping by today,
