New Products

Have you had a chance to look at the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue yet?  Fabulous isn't it!!  205 pages packed full of gorgeous new products.  Today I am going to share two of the new stamp sets.  

The first is Fabulous Florets which is a collection of six stamps available in clear (£17.95) and wood mount (£21.95)

The second is my new favourite sentiment set, Perfectly Penned.  Four gorgeous sentiments which are only £11.95 in clear mount or £14.95 in wood.

The cards below incorporate both sets and show how versatile they can be even when using the same colour combination.  

On the first design the centre image has been stamped and left uncoloured for a clean bold look.

 

The second card shows a more subtle effect you can create when stamping the image in StazOn and then colouring in with a blender pen.

A big thank you to my wonderful friend Maria Mitchell for inspiring the team to recreate these wonderful ideas.

If you would like to place an order or find out more about Stampin' Up! please contact me at creativecraft@btinternet.com

'Cheerful Treat' for the Birthday Girl!

Morning everyone!  

Today I am sharing a card I made for my gorgeous friend Lucy's birthday.  

I wanted to make a bright and pretty card for her so I used the fabulous Cheerful Treat designer paper which is one of the exclusive products you can order when you host a party or join my stampers club before the end of September.

I picked out the colours based on the paper and used Bashful Blue, Melon Mambo and Concord Crush to complete the design. The selection of butterflies are created using the amazing Beautiful Wings Embosslits.

The inside of the card was decorated in the same colours and finished with another of those pretty little butterflies.

I hope you like the card Lucy and that you had a brilliant birthday!

Cheerful Apothecary Treat

I hope you are all enjoying this amazing weather!  I am lucky enough to be away from work celebrating my birthday this week but I just wanted to share a project with you all.

This quick and easy card uses the Cheerful Treat Designer Papers and the Apothecary Art stamp set.  This set is fast becoming my favourite and along with the matching framelits is so easy to use!

I have stamped the image in Lucky Limeade and then added some flowers which were punched with one of the Itty Bitty punches.  This image also looks stunning coloured in with the Stampin’ Up! markers or with the Blender Pens.

I will be back soon with more projects but until then I hope you have a great week in the sun! xx

Team Birthday

Today is my lovely downline Tina’s birthday!!  Here is the card I made to celebrate her special day.

I was inspired by a project in the Idea Book and Catalgoue for this card which used this colour combo and gorgeous designer paper.  

I used the stamp set ‘Clearly for You’ (thanks Hels!) and the gorgeous new framelits!  Then finished the card off with some pearls and butterflies.

I hope you had a fab day Tina.
