Avant Garden Thank You Notes


I would like to share with you today a couple of the thank you notes that I sent to my customers this month.





I am always so pleased that someone chooses to order their Stampin Up goodies through me and they always get a little 'thank you' note and gift to show my appreciation.

These are made with the Stampin Up note cards and the Brights collection cardstock and Designer Paper. I stamped one of the flowers from the Avant Garden Stamp Set in the matching Ink. I layered it up using the Stitched Shapes Framelit circles and mounted this layer on one of the  Lace Doilies.
The sentiment comes from the Tasty Trucks Stamp Set.

These are so pretty and with the designer paper pad you can make them in up to 10 different colours.

We are now in the last 14 days of Sale-A-Bration so if you would like either of these stamp sets or any of the other FREE items head on over to my online shop and place your order.

I used some watercolour paper and gave it a wash with Daffodil Delight and So Saffron Ink. Once it was dry and Stamped the lace details with Versamark Ink and embossed with White Embossing Powder. The card base is Whisper White and I added a Layer in Daffodil Delight cardstock

I stamped the flower in Daffodil Delight and die cut with the fabulous Stitched Shape circle Framelits and layered on the card with dimensionals.

The yellows are lovely spring colours...lets hope we have some sunny weather soon.

Serene Scenery Shabby Chic Mothers Day Card

Hiya, just a little reminder today that Mothers Day this Year is on 26th March...so not long to make your designer creations and my cards this week will hopefully give you some inspiration.


Stampin Up Serene Scenery Paper Pad Shabby Chic , Blossom Bunch Punch


While I was playing in my craft room and in the middle of something else I had the idea for this card so just went with it....I did use lots of different products but I just had to go with the flow.

I made the base from Kraft Cardstock and used the wood look paper from the Serene Scenery Cardstock Pack,this is a lovely pack with some photo images as well as patterned paper.
I then mounted layers of Whisper White and Kraft cardstock die cut Ovals from the Stitched Shape Framelets on a Delicate White Doily. 'Mum' was stamped in Early Espresso from the Labeller Alphabet Stamp Set and the rest of the sentiment is from Dragonfly Dreams.
The Blossom Bunch Punch made the flowers with a little Pearl in the centre of them, and I stamped the leaves image from Remarkable You Stamp Set onto Kraft card with Whisper White Ink and fussy cut them out and arranged them around the flowers.

I really liked how it came together and of course you make it suitable for any occasion by changing the sentiment. 

A great card for Shabby Chic lovers don't you think ?

Pootles Birthday Club with Balloon Adventures

Today is my final project in my birthday week using the Balloon Adventures Stamp Set and how well timed is it that I can join in with my Stampin Up Team's Birthday Club Blog Hop



Every month members of my team who have a birthday join in and post their creations. So if you have found your way here from Sams Blog... Welcome

Stampin Up Balloon Adventures Paperjay Crafts

My third and final project with this versatile stamp set and another easy one...apart from tying the fiddly bow with the gold bakers twine...lol

I used a card base made from Blushing Bride cardstock and used a stamp from the set to make my own background by stamping in Black. I felt it needed some depth to it so I used a black marker and a ruler to draw a line around the edge of the card. 
This was easier to do than I thought and gives a good effect.

I stamped three balloons and the sentiment in Black on Very Vanilla cardstock and then punched out the balloons with the Balloon Punch and die cut the sentiment with a Stitched Shape Oval Thinlet with a Basic Black layer.

I used some gold bakers twine to make 3 strings for the balloons and attached them from the balloons and then tied a little bow to link them to the sentiment.
Both the sentiment and balloon shapes were attached to the base card with some dimensionals. 

The embellishments and bakers twine were leftover from a Stampin Up Christmas Kit but you could use any you have to hand.

I love this little card and will be making some more in different colours.

Thanks for visiting my blog today I hope you have enjoyed this project.

Happy Stampin
