Side Stepper card for a Baby

Hello,

Apologies for not blogging but I am just so crazy busy here, prepping for next weeks classes, getting ready for Christmas, blah de blah! How are your Christmas plans coming along??

Anyway a friend requested THREE baby cards this week, not a problem you say, but the minor complication with these cards were they were all for the same baby!! So I had to make three completely different cards ;-)
I will share them with you through the rest of the week but for today I have a stepper style card as my first offering ;-)

There is a full tutorial on how to make this shape card HERE, Main sentiment is backed with a die cut scallop circle, and the small scallop circle is cut using the Perfect Pennant Bigz die from the flirtatious papers,

Tags are from tiny tags ;-) and punched using the Jewellery tag punch, secured with a gem brad

and the rattle is from my new set Button Buddies, there is also a video tutorial for the bow HERE

Right, that's me off for today, I have lots of jobs still to do today but first I am going for coffee and cake with the girls, but I will be back soon! I hope you have a great day too,
Stampin' Hugs,

Papercraft show and some swaps for today's training :-)

Hello,
** Before I share todays post I would like to just let you know due to popular demand I have added an extra day to the Christmas Stamp-a-Stack dates, Friday 21st October, message me to join in the fun!**

Big apologies for the lack of a post yesterday, I was at the wonderful Southampton Papercraft show organised by the lovely Sarah, thanks Sarah. What a lovely day meeting lots of lovely ladies (and Gents) and sharing some Stampin' Up! goodness :-D

*waves* to all those I met there!

So, I thought I would share with you some pictures of the table before the doors opened, unfortunately I forgot to take any "action" shots when my other friends/helpers came but at least I can share the table with you ;-) And a big thank-you to Nicky and Hannah for helping out too *mwah*

Like the Spooky Banner between the trees? and my Zoe who ran to sit in the centre when the camera came out! She totally doesn't get that from me!!

(You should be able to click on the pic's to make them bigger)

The left tree at the end

The right hand tree

There were also cards on the inside of the trees too,

Now, swaps. I am off today to Jo D's training day for some SU! fun and inspiration, there will be 24 of us there and so I have made this manyswaps, normally these are card fronts but I decided to use my SU! exclusive Candy Wrapper Die, I *heart* this die sooo much! I will be using it lots, especially for Christmas though, so I decided to use them in my display today

I used the Rock and Roll techique for the pumpkins, as I did on the spooky banner the other day (for more pics of that go HERE)

So, that's it for today, I will be back tomorrow with some more cardy lovelyness,
Thanks for stopping by today :-)

Stampin' Hugs for today,

Come and Join the Blog Hop!

Hello!

and welcome today, you may have joined me on the way around the ILWS blog hop, if so you will have come from the lovely Pat's blog if you have no idea what I am talking about then let me explain! A whole bunch of SU! demos have joined together to "jump" from one blog onto the next showcasing products from the fab NEW Catalogue!

There will be a link further down this post to the next blog and at the very bottom of this post all the participating blogs in case anyone has publishing problems.

So onto my project, I decided to make a really SPOOKY Halloween Banner using the fantastic NEW Perfect Pennants die. I love it already!!

Yes, I know we could all sit and cut out little triangles but I am not kidding you, I made this in less than an hour (if you don't count the time I spent uhhming and ahhhing about where to put which image ;-))

OK lots of pictures coming up, I took a photo of each section going along, you should be able to click on each picture to see it closer...

Alphabet is the Timeless Type Junior Sizzlit Alphabet

I used retired Rich Razz satin ribbon but you could use Black ribbon or the 1/4" grosgrain in Razzleberry

I embossed all the large pennants with the Perfect Polka Dos Embossing folder

I used the fab new stamp set Jack of all Trades using the "Rock and Roll" technique

The hat and faces are in the stamp set too, the ghost is the very versatile Owl punch again!

And a close up of some of the scrummy NEW Halloween papers,

As you might have guessed I am a massive fan of Halloween, I love everything about it so you can rest assured I will be doing A LOT more Halloween projects over the next few weeks, be sure to pop by!

If you would like to place an order then please drop me a line and I will be happy to help :-)

Thanks for visiting today, the next stop on this hop is to go to the wonderful Claires blog

Stampin' Hugs from me,

As promised the whole hop in one place :-)
