I hope you are enjoying the half term holidays? I am just finishing getting ready for classes and team training this weekend, message me if you would like to join us for either event ;-)

So, I promised a Baby Boy card the other day and here they are, same layout as before but with pretty Nursery Nest DSP, this paper is also part of this months 4 for 3 promotion :-)

 stamped feet inside too,

 and the arty angle to finish today

Short and sweet today I'm afraid, lots to do in my craft room (also known as a bomb site!! Think I may have to tidy up too!)

Up, Up and Away and Aviary by Stampin' Up!

hello there,

I hope you have enjoyed the bank holiday weekend I have been having a wonderful time with the family and so my little blog has been a tad pushed out! ;-)

we spent a lovely (if a little chilly) day at Windsor Castle on Monday, now we didn't just choose Windsor to spend the day at random, my upline and good friend Jules was at Legoland for the weekend so we decided to meet up in the evening for tea. Laura (my sideline) and her family also live down south and so she brought her family along too! And what a lovely time we all had! All the kids got on like a house on fire and all the grown ups did OK too ;-)

Now, as there was 8 kids, who didn't know each other, so I like to take something for them to do. I went with a notebook and decorated pen (hangman, drawing etc...) and of course I had to make them look pretty, so 7 boys received these (and they kept them occupied for ages too!)

 I punched the "clouds" using a 3/4" and 1/2" circle punches, DSP is retired form last years catty Hot air balloon is from Up, Up and Away

and I made Zoe a girly version, this one used Twitterpated DSP (on promo this month ;-)) with little Aviary Owls,

 Now, it was Julies son Ross' birthday Tuesday so I made a card for him to open as he was away from home ;-) a simple little card to match the note pads

3d balloons, 

 and a little decoration inside to finish

Well, a lovely day was had by all. We always say it but we must get together more often!

Right, I have a list as long as your arm again today so I'm off, 

Have a great day and thanks for visiting here

Stampin' Up Baby Prints Cards

Hello,

I am back today with some Baby cards I have made, I never seem to have any baby cards when I need them so I decided to make a couple of each in both boy and girl versions. I love this fab new set baby Prints, so cute and I will also be using it at my NEW scrapbooking class, more details on this coming shortly!!

Anyway, I used the flirtatious DSP for the girly version

 and once I stamped the hands I did them again with Versamark, these cards smell good too with Melon Scented Embossing powder :-) So cool!

 Inside I inked the footprints and stamped them off once to create a much paler shadow effect

 and plenty of depth to the cards too

I like to make baby cards a bit special as most people actually keep them,

I hope these would be well received, I just need someone to have a baby now ;-)

Right, I'm off for today, have a great day whatever you are up to

 This sweet sentiment is included in the set too

some stitching and an edgelit decorated the side 

 and a bit more sewing inside to finish it off :-)

Well, I hope you liked today's card and I will be back tomorrow with more crafty goodness

SU! May Stampers 6 Club Card

Hello there,

I have a pretty card to share with you today, this is the kit I sent to my lovely ladies in my Stampers 6 club last month, I always send a kit with each parcel you receive from me (in place of having an actual workshop) so you can have all the fun and benefits of hosting a workshop without actually hosting one! Win, Win!

So this is the kit I sent...

 and this is the card my Ladies should have ended up with? Or a very similar version at least!!

 and on the Stampers 6 club blog there were step-by -step picture instructions to make this card, with my cheats and top tips (if there are any ;-)) each month too

So, if you fancy 

*building up your SU! stash each month, 

*grabbing great hostess benefits for each slot you take (you can have as many as you like at £25 spend per slot, per month) and 

*also a cute little card kit too dropping through your letterbox

 then message me today to take a position in my new club starting this June!

Thanks for visiting today and I hope to hear from you soon,

Stampin' Hugs,

New Virtual Hostess Club starting in June!

**STICKY POST, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR FRESH INSPIRATION**
NOW JUST 3 PLACES LEFT, HURRY TO RESERVE YOURS!

Hi there,

I am sure you are madly in love with so much of the goodness in the new summer mini catalogue as I am and you want, *ahem* need  it all? Or at least rather a lot of it ;-)

So, I am starting this NEW stampers 6 club and as a part of the club you will receive a copy of the main Idea Book and catalogue and of course the NEW summer mini catalogue too.
For 6 months your commitment is to spend a minimum of £25 (plus post at cost to you) of goods from any current SU! catalogue and each month with your order I will include a special kit for you to make a "workshop" card or 3d project at home. I also am committed to placing your orders timely and sending them out to you asap, I want to give you great customer service :-)

All this but not forgetting that for one of the months YOU will be the hostess, this means that we will all come round for a party.... Not really, just JOKING you!! It just means you will be eligible to receive the hostess benefits for your month (decided at random at the beginning of the club) a MINIMUM of 25 "hostess pounds" You can of course take more than one spot and commit to multiples of £25 if you would like too, this would give you multiple hostess months ;-) Yay!

So, would you like to see the sort of card kit I send? OK then, this was last months kit card. All pieces (except stamped images) are included, all you need to do is follow the step-by-step tutorial on the stampers club members only blog!

 edgelits and heart embosslits amongst others make up this chocolate dipped strawberry

 and of course there is a video tutorial for bow tying on the side bar of this blog

Well, I hope this sounds like something you are looking for, please message me asap to reserve a spot

Twitterpapated Cards and Bag

Hello,

I am back to it today after having a lovely day out with hubby yesterday, I have loads to do again but first I wanted stop by here and share with you the first part of our all day class with you, as promised ;-)

We began with this project making a set of four cards and a matching bag using the gorgeous Twitterpated papers and Apothecary Art, now this is definately a "need" stamp set and I don't mind saying I was not bothered by it when I first had it... but once I started playing with it, Oh wow! It is lovely!

 All made with a colour combo of Baja Breeze and Cherry Cobbler....

I know, the red in the paper is Riding Hood Red but I like Cherry more so we used that and I think it worked perfectly

 and the last one of the set

then we made a matching bag to keep the cards in, many thanks to Jules for the template, sharing what she loves! :-)

Well, that's today's share for you, I will be back tomorrow with some Father's Day class sneaks, Look forward to seeing you then,
Please remember I have just 3 places left for my Stamper's club which starts very soon, message me to join the fun!

A new twist on Bright Blossoms by Stampin' Up!

Hello there,

What wonderful weather we are having right now in the UK! We had our first BBQ last night but today I have soooo much to do getting ready for the Craft Fayre on Saturday {Beaulieu Village Hall 10.30-3, message me for directions of you need them} and my All Day Class, which runs this Sunday, that I have be content inside, looking out of the window to the sun!

So, today I have a completely different look using this fab set from the Summer Mini, 

I really wanted to make some background paper with the stems and flowers in this set and this is the end result, I think it would look fab in so many different colour ways too! 

the colours I used were Lucky limeade, Crumb cake and Night of navy

 denim ribbon bow with the obligatory bling!

 and a sentiment using Curly Cute to finish

I sent this card to one of my team who reached a promotion, she is doing so well :-)

Just so you know our next scheduled team meeting is the 10th June, we would all love if you could come along to this, there will be lots of hints and tips on business building and of course cake and crafting!
