Love & Sympathy

Morning

Today's card is a very simple one, but one that conveys we care...........

I have used the Naturels White cardtsock again as a base.....I am so going to miss this cardstock when our new catalogue starts as we will not be continuing with this line.  The stamp set is Love & Sympathy.  My Colour is Pear Piazzazz and a few co-ordinating candy dots.

Flowers using the clay and moulds

Morning everyone

Another stamp a stack share today.  This card is the complete opposite to yesterday's share and there is much more detail on it, but I think it works.

I have used the spiral punch along the top, this was one of my first buys over 5 years ago, stampin' Up! retired it and then brought it back again after a few years.  The leaf is from the Flower Frenzy die and die cut using the big shot.  The flower is from Petal Potpourri and punched out using the medallion punch.  The flower in the centre is made using our clay and the moulds.  I just love this material.  A greeting and more candy dots finish this card.

Postage would be higher than 1st class, but hey some are worth it right.....?

Love & Sympathy

Morning

Today's share is another card from my stamp a stack class.  It uses the Love & Sympathy stamp set. I love the simplicity of this stamp set, but it delivers just what you need on the loss of a loved one.

I used the Naturals White cardstock as my base and then layered Pear Piazza and Whisper White.  Some matching candy dots complete the card.

Baby cards times 2.........

At a recent stamp a stack event we made a couple of baby cards, using the stamp set Something for baby with co-ordinates with the baby's First Framelits dies.  If you purchase both items together as a bundle you get a 15% discout.

The sentiment is from That's the Ticket and is punched out using the Ticket Duo Builder punch and layered on a scallop oval of cardstock.

I have added a little candy dot to the centre of each flower.

A thank to my team members

 Good morning

At the end of last month I held a little gathering for my top 3sales people for the last quarter.

We had a lovely evening just chatting and eating of course, and Alice popped in with Kobe as Irene had not seen him.

Trevor, Christine and Donna were my top 3 sales demonstrators for the last quarter and as well as some nibbles I also had some cards and gifts for them.

Here is the card I had made for them.  This was inspired from a very similar card I saw on Mary Fish's blog (stampinpretty).  I love Mary's clean and simple cards and when I am looking for inspiration she is often my first port of call.

 

I love the contrast of cream and black and our Modern Medley designer series paper work so well here.  I used the arrows embossing folder to add some texture to the base of the card and then the 1" square punch made short work of the DSP pattern.  The butterfly has a large pearl in the centre and the greeting was from the stamp set Lovely Romance.

 

Continuing with the colour theme I decorated some gifts for them.

 

 

 

I decorated a pot of the Essentials Wooden Elements and in the glassine bag was a pack of subtles candy dots.

 

 

Well done guys X
