Seeing Double with Mr and Mrs stamp and the Expressions Thinlits teamed with Hearts a Flutter from Stampin' Up!

Hello there,

As I have been enjoying the weather and completing a few magazine projects this week I have been a touch absent from my blog :-s I have been popping up on Facebook as I often do when I don't get on here so if you are a Facebooker then please feel free to follow my page and keep up to date with the goings on at chez Rae ;-) 

So, this evening I am going to share two cards with you to double up in apologies for my absence here.

The first card uses the stamp set 'Mr and Mrs' which unfortunately seems to be sold out. I teamed it with the also retiring with Raspberry Ripple cardstock and ink, I am really going to miss this colour :-( The white card layer was embossed using the Lacy Brocade folder which is a bargain at just £4.49 at the moment,

 Ribbon flowers are also retired but I have a couple of free tutorials on how to make ribbon flowers HERE and HERE, the leaves are punched using the Bird Punch

 the Mr&Mrs stamped panel was die cut using the Apothecary Accents die 

 Now, second card for tonight...

I love the Expressions thinlits dies that contain this Love word as well as Merry and Thankful. I teamed it with another set I love which is Hearts a Flutter, (click on the Label at the end of this post marked Hearts a Flutter to see more cards using this fab set!)

This card uses a colour combo of Strawberry Slush (ink: staying, ruffled ribbon: going), Midnight Muse (going) and Sahara Sand (also staying)

 we die cut the love word from Midnight Muse card and also Silver Glimmer Paper (Gold Glimmer is on offer this week FYI ;-)) layered over but slightly off set so it 'popped' off the card

 and the ruffled ribbon in Strawberry Slush

OK, that's all for tonight, I'll be back soon with more cards to share with you and please remember that BOTH the current catalogues finish at the end of JUNE! That's just 4 days!! So if there is anything you want/need please order asap to be sure you get what you want before it goes for good.

Thanks for visiting today and for your patience with me ;-)

Hearts a Flutter Card #2 for SU! Convention '13 in Manchester

Hi there,

I'm back today with my second card I submitted to SU! for their boards in Manchester for convention. I went with a similar theme for both with a Crisp Cantaloupe, Smoky Slate and a touch of Coastal Cabana again.

I used the Hearts a Flutter stamp set across the centre of the card to start then die cut the "Love" sentiment using the Expressions Thinlit die (with a piece of baking paper between the die and card for easy removability (is that a real word? lol!)). I then cut small slits either side of the word and threaded Smoky Slate Chevron ribbon through to tie a beautiful bow...

 I then die cut about 5 more of the sentiments from Coastal Cabana card adding them in layers (to adhere; dab the back of each one with a glue pen on scrap paper then build up layers)  finishing with the stamped image at the top..

 and here they are both together.

and here is a pic of my team the Southern Belles (those that could make it) last Friday evening after the awards ceremony which was very inspiring!

OK, that's all from me for today, we are off to Winchester for the Christmas Market in a bit so hopefully we'll be feelin' festive later! Plus, it's nearly decorations time! Whoop!!

Be the Hostess with the Mostess!

Hello there,

How would you like a copy of the brand new Autumn/Winter catalogue? Delivered directly to you? And a hard copy of the current Main Catalogue too? and then some yummy Hostess benefits on top of all that? Great, 'cause I'm starting a new Virtual Hostess club in September :-)

In brief you commit to spending just £25 a month on any products from any current catalogue and for one of those months you will get to be the hostess! Which means at least £25 worth of freebies will come along with your order :-) I will also include a special kit designed just for you to make a card at home each month as if you have been to a workshop with me along with your order and details on a club only blog plus a Facebook page to remind you I have posted the card and any other updates too.

Phew! Well if you would like to read more pop over HERE for more details.

So, how about a sneak peek at some of the new goodies available in the new Autumn/Winter catty starting on the 29th August??

I am so excited to be playing with these products, I have had a blast designing cards for my All Day Kick Start Christmas Class running soon but had a break away to create something a little different...

I have used and abundance of New Products on this card. To start; the new expressions Thinlits, which is the "Merry" die cut on this card, LOVE these ;-)

 lovely new silver ribbon around some Winter Frost DSP,

 The cute, new, striped Embossing folder was used on the Apothecary Accents die cut frame and I added just the Christmas word from the "Christmas Messages" set which I had inked with a marker to get just this section and a stamp-a-ma-jig to position onto a strip of silver card

 and the new Chevron Punch accent in the bottom corner to finish!

OK, that's all for today.

If you are interested in my new Virtual Hostess club or want to place an order or even just ask a question then please do get in touch :-))))
