Loads of Love

Hello,

I have a set which I haven't used in far too long to share with you today, it was one of the first few sets I bought from SU! and I had forgotten how cute it really is ;-) and don't forget there is 20% off this and many other 2 step sets for August only, please see top of blog for more details or email me with any questions or your order, addy is in side bar.

Anyway, here I have teamed it with Rich Razzleberry and the lovely Cottage Wall papers,

I paper pieced the truck and the hearts, I love doing this with this set! with a touch of piercing around the image,

I finished it by adding some crystal effects to the windows, wheels and some of the hearts.

We are having the steel put in across the back wall today, very exciting but also very dusty round here too!

Thanks for stopping by today I will be back tomorrow with a card using Blooming with Beauty,

Stampin' Hugs

Happy Birthday to Lucy Locket :0)

Good Afternoon to you today,
Did you get that thunder storm just a while ago?? wowzers, loud and flashy woo hoo! he he!

Anyways, what I am here to say is Happy Birthday to the lovely Lucy, hugs babe xx

I decided to make her a very special card, this design is one I saw at training in Reading demonstrated by the very talented and generous Jenny, (she has a great tutorial on her blog, click on her name to go to her blog) thanks for sharing Jenny, I hope I have done it some justice ;0)

I have used the fab Vintage Vogue stamp set with choc chip and so saffron inks,

Choc chip ink, ribbon and card, dazzling diamonds glitter applied using the glue pen, and some yummy Latte buttons,

card base is made using So Saffron Carousel notes (page 80)

The little mugs are from the level 3 hostess set Queue Up,

View from the top showing sentiments from Oval All (p 58), One of a Kind (p 56) and Sincere Salutations (p 62), all punched with the oval and scallop oval punches (p 88),

Now when I folded this card I quickly realised it wouldn't fit in an envelope so I made an easy pizza box, here is the top, {sorry about the dodgy pictures for these last two, it was getting dark!} If you would like the measurements, please email me.

and lastly a dimensional shot to show the layering of the 'F'

Phew, another picture heavy post, I do hope you like, let me know

Thanks for dropping by,

Hugs S.J. xxx

Mini Pizza Gift Boxes

Helloooo,

Well, are you done?? I am neeearly finished, just got about 3 or 4 presents left to wrap and later today we are going to brave the dreaded food shop! eeek! Then that's it, I'll be ready. I have promised the kids I will take them to IKEA for breakfast on Wednesday (they love it, honest!)

Right onto today's project, I am afraid I can't possibly tell you what is in these boxes as the ladies I am giving them to all see my blog on Facebook!

ETA: I am going to enter these into the SWU challenge this week which is Christmas theme! yay!

Well there isn't really too much to say about these except I had made a whole batch of these fan things and decided I would use them on these boxes too ;0) I have made one using the same snowflake as the milk carton because one of the ladies came to my class and already made the fan...

I am trying to use up some of my older stash and the ribbon I have used is just that,

Sentiment is Best Yet the retired hostess set for last years catty, Choc Chip, Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Kraft card was used with the Winters Post snowflake :0) Punches used were Scallop Circle, Oval and Scalloped Oval ((what did I do before these punches were in my drawer??)

Right must dash, back tomorrow with a card I made in a flash to hold some gift vouchers for my friend,

Have a good day, oh and if you go out be careful, especially if you have snow!
