Birthday Wishes Extravaganza

As you might know I was away last weekend at my Stampin Up Teams craft weekend. It just so happened that the weekend coincided with an event that Stampin Up was holding nationwide. They had asked us to put on a Birthday Wishes event which involved holding classes, workshops and making cards to donate to the Ronald McDonald Houses Charity. 
This charity supports families by providing them with, amongst other things, houses to stay in near to the hospitals that their children are in.

At the weekend our Team Leader kindly provided us with a selection of designer paper and cardstock from the Whole Lot of Lovely Suite and all 44 of us had ninety minutes to make a selection of cards.

Between us we made 208 cards and no two were the same, which just goes to show that with some paper, cardstock and a stamp set just how much you can do.

I used the Happiest of Days Stamp set to make mine. The Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Paper is just gorgeous, I had it on my wish list and it will definitely be on my next order.

Sorry the photo isn't great, but you get the idea. I love this idea of stamping the sentiment onto one of the layers and reducing the size of the top layer. I think I can feel a few more cards like this coming on !

Happy Stampin

Pootles Retreat Swaps

Well I am back from my weekend away with all of my crafting buddies old and new.

Whenever we attend a Stampin Up event we try and take swaps so that you can have a collection of items to showcase to your customers and items that you can also make and demonstrate.

This weekend was a challenge as I was short on time but still wanted to make the effort for my attending teamies. All 43 of them !

I decided to take an easy route and use the Stampin Up Clear Tiny Treat Boxes. After assembling I filled them with sweeties to snack on while we crafted and wrapped a strip of our new Foil Frenzy designer paper around the middle. To finish I topped the box with one of the new Mini Gift Bows.

I received in return, lots of fabulous and inspirational projects from my lovely friends and enjoyed an amazing crafty weekend.

I am so lucky to be part of a lovely Stampin Up team. If you think you might like to take part in events like this get in touch for a chat.

Happy Stampin

Dragonfly Dreams with Lemon Lime Twist

It was a busy week last week for family birthdays, my brother and my sister just two days apart.

My sister loves Dragonflies so there was only one Stamp Set I could use !

I love the new zingy Lemon Lime twist paired with Black, so sharp .

I used a sheet of Fresh Florals Designer Paper and layered it with Basic Black card stock.

I stamped the Dragonfly from the Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set in Lemon Lime Twist and then used the patterned stamp from the same set to stamp around the edge of the image and added the sentiment.

I added the die cut of the dragonfly from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlets to give a three dimensional effect.

I think I will make some more of these using some of the other new In Colours...also good to have some cards on standby !

I am off this weekend to a Stampin Up retreat so going to be having a lovely crafty few days. Hope you will manage to fit some crafting in this weekend.

Background Bits Thank You Cards

Every month I like to make little Thank You notes for my customers, as their orders are so much appreciated.

This month I used the Hostess Set, Background Bits, to make these cards. I must admit that I love the script stamp in the set and I know I will use it often.

I made them in two colourways this month, Rich Razzleberry and Peekaboo Peach. . 

I stamped some of that lovely script in the background and stamped the flowers and the sentiment in Basic Black. I added some little enamel shapes to finish them off.

This stamp set is available to purchase on personal or workshop orders of £150 and over .

I would love you to purchase your Stampin Up products from me and send you out a lovely little card like this. You can buy from me if you are in the UK, France, Germany, Holland or Germany. 

We have very international customers and teams, come and join us!

Happy Stampin

Fathers Day with Tranquil Tide

I am lucky enough to still have my fabulous Dad and so of course I made him a card and took him a few beers for Fathers Day.

I used mainly the Crafting Forever Stamp Set and Tranquil Tide cardstock and ink. i stamped tone on tone with the pens stamp, slightly overlapping onto a Whisper White topper.

I used some background stamps and fussy cut one of the pens and used a gold marker to add detail.

As I didn't have a Fathers Day sentiment I used one from the Special Celebrations Set and used the Labeller Alphabet for the word 'Dad'.

It went down very well as did the beers !
