January Stamp-a-Stack

Happy New Year to you all!!

I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas and new year with your loved ones, we played Table tennis and then Wii games with the kids and my Mum and Nan to see in our new year, only stopping to watch the wonderful fireworks on the TV live from London! They were amazing!!

Anyway, back to creating today, I have today finished creating the stamp-a-stack for next week and I still have a couple of spaces left, so message me now to reserve your spot bookings will close on Friday (or sooner if I fill all the spots)

So, do you want to see the cards? Well, of course ;-)

I have used the lovely Paisley Petals DSP as a basis for this months class and we will be making 2 of each of these cards.

Please message me now to avoid disappointment

That's all for today but thanks for stopping by,
I look forward to hearing from you soon, 

Stampin' Hugs for today,

Join the Southern Belles for the Day! oh, and a card too :-)

Hello there today,

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us at my very informal Demonstrator Training session on the 10th September. This will be a great day to come along and chat to me and some of my downline about the benefits, freindship and fun you too could have if you joined my team of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. This session will run from 10-12 in the morning but if you cannot make this time please email me to arrange a time to come and chat that would be good for you. There is NO CHARGE for this session and I will also be making cakes ;-) and of course there will be some crafting too!

Please message me to reserve your place asap as places are limited. 

Of course, I have a card to share with you today too, my friend neededed a card for her daughters friend at Cheerleading, we were chatting about the options the other night and I realised that the Daisy #2 die would be perfect to make the poms!

the colours I have used match the team colurs, Night of Navy, Marina Mist and Whisper White with Platinum Shimmer paint on the edges of the white flower, ahem, I mean Pom!

As you can see, plenty of Dimension on this one, good job it was a hand deliver or I think it may have been a box job ;-) Sentiment is from Curly Cute,

and a little pom inside too to finish

More FREE gift cards here with you tomorrow.

And don't forget to email me to reserve your place in September too! I am really looking forward to my first "training" session with you!

Stampin' Hugs from me today,

A few little Thank-You's

A super quick post for you today as I am working on my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack Class, more details and dates HERE, book now to be sure to get the day you would like ;-)

Anyway, I needed a few little cards this week to pop in with orders, amongst other things, and these quick little designs were the end result. This one was made with an off cut of the One Sheet Wonder we will be making at my August Class, see full class details HERE

and this little one too, again using Baby Blossoms, sentiment is from the Level One set Afterthoughts, which I inked using a marker just to say Thanks,

and I made this card to go in with the prize I gave away at Netley Marsh Steam and Craft Fair last week,

Pretty in Pink flower (Daisy #2 die) with a Marina Mist button centre,

and the sentiment popped out over the "vase"

Right, back to the grindstone, hope you are enjoying the weather where you are, it's glorious here today! Yay!

Thanks for visiting,

Stampin' Hugs,

From a hat to a card

Good morning,

Well, first of all today, if you visited me at the craft fair ay Lyndhurst yesterday I would like to say a big Hello to you! it was great to meet you, I will be there the next two weeks too so please do pop in and say Hi of you are in the area, it is at Lyndhurst Community Centre, SO43 7NY.

Anyway, I needed another birthday card for yesterday and as I was flipping through my Tesco's mag I saw this hat and I knew I wanted to make a card using it as inspiration! Love the colours, love the layers, love the flower..

And here is my card, I totally used the picture inspiration literally to make this card..

I die cut 3 layers of each colour to make the flower very full adding a tempting turquoise {retired} button threaded with with 3mm taffeta ribbon,

Sentiment is from Party This Way, loving banners at the moment too, had you noticed?? lol! I finished the end with a Tab punch out with a pretty Flower Brad and Rhinestone

and inside I added a little Daisy too,

Well, that's it for today, I hope you like this card and if you need any of the (all SU!) supplies I have used here then please do contact me for more details,

Thanks for visiting me today,

Stampin' Hugs,

Daisy Box

Hello there,

This morning I have a box I made to share with you using the Daisy flower die and some more of the Springtime Vintage papers (last 2 shares available, see top of this blog) 

the box folds up at either side, I loved the shape of it :-D

 I added a Velcro dot to the top to keep it closed, it would be the perfect size for a bib or pack of baby socks in for a new mum,

I added some of the lovely, chunky glass glitter in Baja Breeze to the centre of the Daisy to finish,

and a quick picture of it opened out, I added a flower from the Fun Flowers die to "base" the Daisy as I thought it should be more solid for ease of opening,

So, that's today's project for you. It is our 15th wedding anniversary today so I am looking forward to a nice day, not sure if we are going out yet, will have to wait and see I suppose ;-)
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a lovely bank holiday, whatever you are up to,

Stampin' Hugs,

Little Thank-You's

Hi there,

I have a much simpler design to share with you today using the Daisy Die#2 from the Mini Catalogue, I made them for the ladies who placed an order with me at this months class and popped them in with a little goodie bag (which I forgot to photograph! doh!) to thank them for their continued support :-D

I die cut the daisy from Daffodil Delight card (loving this colour and I don't usually "do" yellow) I first saw this card by a lovely demo called Kirsteen and was inspired to make a (very) similar card, thanks Kirsteen x

I inked the edges of the daisy with More Mustard and added a Square Lattice embossed centre too, sentiment is from the Thank You Kindly stamp set,

And here they are all together,

Thanks again ladies and I know you are all going to love this new catalogue :-)

Please email me if you too would like to place an order, host a party with friends, come to a class or are interested in joining my Stampers 6 club starting very soon,
Thanks for stopping by today,

Stampin' Hugs,
