Hello Everyone, Firstly lets get the information out straight away regarding the Best of Stamp set for the month.  I'm only about 13 days late, but who's counting.  Here is the lastest offering from Stampin Up in the "Best of Series" available from today 1st February. Next, I'm sharing a get well card today combining a number of products, but the first time I've actually used these adhesive Cork flowers that come from the Sale-a-bration Sweet Sorbet Accessory pack.  The dsp is from the Fresh Prints stack and the cardstock is Coastal Cabana, Baked Brown Sugar and Whisper White. I've also used the new Arrows embossing folder from the catalogue on my Baked Brown Sugar background here and used Little Leaves die & Deco Label Framelits. Here's the closeup. Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day.

Hi Everyone, It's Happy Tuesday today.  That's right, I usually feel good on a Tuesday.  Went for a walk this morning with a girlfriend and finally caught up on all the news of  her family over the Christmas break.  It was a pretty good day for a walk as well.  Not too hot. Today I've made a Deco Topper Easel card and used a new set I've just received called Happy Watercolor.  Note the spelling of color here is American.  Stampin Up is a US based company. Here is my card. The cardstock used is Smoky Slate, Crisp Cantaloupe and Whisper White.   The Floral image was stamped with Black Stazon Ink on the Whisper White card and then cut out with the Deco Label Framelits.  On the base of the card I've used some paper from the pack called Watercolor Wonder and I've also added a little butterfly stamped with Smoky ink from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set.  The greeting has been stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe Ink and a row of little...

Hello Everyone, I'm back today with another card containing some old favourites.  Did you guess? Butterflies, Lol!  Features my favourite little die called Beautiful Wings for a little layered buttefly pearched on a Deco Label cut with the Framelits. The patterned paper on this card is from the Stack called Fresh Prints and the cardstock used is Coastal Cabana, Baked Brown Sugar and Whisper White.  The sentiment "Just for You" comes from the set called Teeny Tiny Sentiments and was cut out with the Bitty Banner framelits.  The Coastal Cabana Deco frame was embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder.  Here is a closeup of that Label with my butterfly. Hope you are having an enjoyable Monday.  See you next time.

Hello Everyone, How has your weekend been?  It's Sunday arvo and I've just finished a card that will be for my niece.  Shes having a beach wedding so I've made this card with the theme in mind, simple beachy colours, similar to the Wedding Invite.  This closeup shows the focal point. I've used Expression Thinlits here with Gold Foil for "Love" and the Heart Collection framelits, plus By the Tide stamp set for the shell on the front here. Here is the card. Yes, rather straight forward.  Cardstock is Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake and Whisper White.  The Crumb Cake layer has been embossed with the Fancy Fan Embossing folder.  I've cut 2 sizes of hearts with the hearts collection framelits and made a Heart Window with the whisper white card on the front,  I've added this to the inside here. The sentiment stamped on the heart inside the card is from a vintage set called Wordplay. Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I've made tod...

Hi Everyone, How is your Saturday shaping up?  I've done the washing & the shopping, so I think I'm entitled to a little craft time, don't you?  Today's card is a quick one I've made to give a customer who collected some orders for me.  I felt like going with something simple after my efforts the last few days. This card used the SAB set called You're Lovely with a sentiment from the set called Petite Pairs. The paper is from the Stack called Fresh Prints and I've used the Banner Framelits to create a layered Banner on the left of the card.  The White background has been embossed with the SAB folder called Decorative Dots. The cardstock used is Coastal Cabana, Baked Brown Sugar and Whisper White.  I'ved used the Deco Label framelits as well and the Square Lattice embossing folder on the label. I hope you've enjoyed seeing something that can be created rather quickly.  Have a great day.

Hello Everyone, Last year I designed a card for one of my daughter's friends using the Label Thinlits card die and when it was posted online here it was quite popular.  I was asked to make more of them by one of my customers for her stash this year.  I've only recently got them all finished. The flip side of the card below, basically the inside and above shows the front of the card in closeup. This picture shows the back of the card. There they all are, finished, phew.  See you tomorrow.
