Simply Stampin' Sketch

Hello there

and Welcome to another week of Simply Stampin' Challenges, this weeks challenge is a fabby sketch challenge

And I used the retiring set Cheers to You, love this little set and it's just £11.21 right now! see the entire retiring products list HERE as you can see I flipped the sketch around :-)

and I used the also retiring Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper,

with matching Peach Parfait ribbon and a Poppy Parade base card

covering the glasses with Crystal Effects after colouring them in using a blender pen,

and a little strip inside to finish

If you would like to order any of the products I have used today then please email me with your order, don't forget any order over £45 will receive the NEW SU! catalogue around the 1st October!

Also just 4 places left in my Virtual Hostess (Stampers 6) club, why not join in the fun? :-D

Stampin' Hugs,

Engraved Greetings

Good Morning,

How's things with you? I have finished prepping for next weeks Christmas Stamp-a-Stack class, just one place left now on Monday and one on Tuesday, message me to reserve a spot! I have also made a video tutorial on Bow Tying too, eek! Just got to play around with editing it now so it should be uploaded on here in the next few days, all being well :-)

So, today I have decided to share a few pics of my absolute favourite stamp set which will be retiring in a couple of weeks ((sob))

 Engraved Greetings, just perfect for men's cards...

 and for ladies too :-D

and more men's cards, even a Milk Carton (tutorial in Dazzling Dozen tutorial pack HERE)

And if you would like to see more Engraved Greetings then click on the Label at the bottom of this post, if you would like your very own Engraved Greetings stamp set then EMAIL me to place your order before it sells out!
Thanks as ever for stopping by today, it's lovely having you to visit :-)

Good Morning!

Just a quick not to say I have unexpectedly got a couple of places for next weeks Stamp-a-Stack, one on Monday and two on Tuesday too, message me if you would like to join us for some fun and paper crafting :-)

I had to make a bunch of little Thank-You notes this week, so I turned to the wonderful Engraved Greetings (again!)

I have also used a little sneak peek from the NEW catalogue, the gorgeous NEW colour, Calypso Coral! YAY!! I am so happy to have a Coral colour again :-D and it goes perfectly with Marina Mist too.

I have used the most gorgeous retiring (sob!) Marina Mist satin ribbon, get yours now while it's still around :-)

and all the little cards together

If you would like a copy of the yummy NEW catalogue ready for the 1st October then there are a few ways to get a copy

1) You can order a copy from me for just £4.50 (value £5.95) just email me for more info

ILWS Retirement list blog hop!

Hello again!

And welcome to my second post today, and now for the ILWS retirement list blog hop! You should have joined me from Niki's Blog, if not then just follow the hop on from me to make the loop or start at the beginning, full list is at the bottom of this post :-)

I have decided not to showcase a stamp set but rather the beautiful Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper which will also be leaving us at the end of the month (or before). I will be sad to see this one go so I have made lots of cute things today using it!

First up is a card, I will be sending this one to my Nan, luckily she won't be joining in on the hop ;-)

 and inside

A small box, there is a tutorial for the 3d flower I have put on the top of the box in my side bar >>>

 the box is actually the top part only of the Ferrero Rocher box available in my Dazzling Dozen Tutorials,

and finally another card, I made this one for the lovely Anna's birthday, the sketch is an old Mojo one,

 Hodgepodge Hardware, another thing leaving us at the end of the month, here I lined a frame with DSP and then filled it with Crystal Effects,

 and how about this flower? I made it using the Scallop Circle die from SU! after seeing it in the Demo magazine we receive monthly. Mine does look a bit different to theirs but I like it, you will be seeing lots more of these, that's for sure! The baja breeze glitter will also be retiring at the end of September too, if there is anything you would like to order then please get in touch asap as lots has sold out already.

 and just a little bit of decoration inside to finish,

All the projects together..

Well, I hope you like my projects today, I will be hopping around later on as I have team training this morning.

Thanks as ever for stopping by here today, I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop, next up is Tina, Happy Hopping!

Simply Stampin' Flutterby Butterfly Chalenge

Good Morning!

First of all I should apologise for not getting round to visit people this week who entered the challenge last week, it has just been manic here with classes and my training day tomorrow! I will do my best to visit all of last weeks entrants this week as well as those of you who take the time to enter this weeks fab challenge too!
And it is a good one, "Flutterby Butterfly"

I have decorated this cute little bucket I had picked up in a supermarket of all places for my friend and down line Anna, she is visiting me for training this weekend, such fun!

I also covered these cute pegs finishing with another butterfly, love the pegs ;-)

a closer view of the flutterby butterflies, LOVE this embosslit die, it cuts and embosses at the same time!

Seam binding ribbon on the handle to add a bit of interest! This would look fab on any ones desk filled with pens or glue etc.

Anyway, I hope you like this mornings project and we would love it if you get a chance to enter the challenge,
Please pop back later as this is the first of TWO posts today, I am participating in a retirement list blog hop at 10am today, and you won't want to miss that , I promise ;-)
