Good Morning.....

Well the sun is shining and I am just filling my time with a bit of blog posting. Shayna is off to the dog groomers shortly and then I have the dentist......not looking forward to this trip. I held my launch party over the weekend for the new 2014-2015 catalogue. The event was held at my home and proved a great success. My customers preferred the more relaxed atmosphere rather than launch party's before in a hall. So this will be the norm I think from now on. Here are some pictures of the set up
I had 13 people attend and they were able to choose items for FREE from my retired stock as long as they ordered the equivilant value from new catalogue. I am going to be busy tomorrow placing orders....

Join me in the Inspiring Inkin bloghop

Good morning thank you for joining me in the Inspiring Inkin bloghop.

I have a cute box and matching card to show you using some old products and showcasing some of our new in colours and products from the 2014-2015 catalogue which goes live on the 1st July.



Blackberry Bliss is my favourite new in colour with Lost lagoon and Hello Honey following closely behind.  The pattern papers are from a new paper stack called Moonlight.  A fab stack of papers measuring  4 1/2" X 6 1/2", you get 48 sheets for the great price of £6.25.

My greeting comes from the Chalk Talk stamp set and is framed with stamped flowers from the Petite Petals bundles, matching Blackberry Bliss ribbon and some pearls finish my project.

I hope you have enjoyed my projects....

Feeling creative elements.....

Another card for you today using a retiring stamp set called Creative Elements.

I used primrose petals ink and the little flowers are from petite petals which will carry over to the new catalogue. The centre of the flowers is a small circle of silver glimmer paper.

Visit my online shop to order any of the products or give me a call. Another order being placed tomorrow.

Have a great day.

Feeling clever

I have been having some computer glitches over the last week, hence the lack of post both here and on Facebook. Thankfully it looks like I have resolved the computer issues today and I have downloaded blogger onto my phone so that I can post here on the move.

I have just taken some pictures of recent projects so keep your fingers crossed.

Do remember to check my online shop every Wednesday for new weekly deals.

Did you know you can also join the Stampin 'up family this month for £50? Want to know more give me call and we can have a chat.

We also have retiring lists out for all stamps and accessories that have not made the new annual catalogue . If u are on my mailing list you will have these as well as an invitation to my launch party on the 28th June . If you do not have details get in touch and I will be happy to forward everything to you.

Now for a card

More for men....

Morning

I am working hard to try and get everything up together as half term starts on Monday and my work schedule isn't the same when Hannah is home.  We are also hoping to spend a few days away next week with friends in Devon. Fingers crossed for good weather as Hannah wants to take her body board with her.

So today I have 3 more cards to share with you.

The first card has a fun element to it I think, and also one that could very easily be adapted for a younger child, and made girly.



This next one is one of my favourite designs.  We have the oak tree from Lovely as a Tree and the stamp was coloured in using the marker pens so that we got a contrast of colour.  I also used the banner punch that was available during Sale-a-bration, it will be available in the new 2014-2015 annual catalogue if you didn't manage to get it earlier in the year.  The centre banner is raised up on a dimensional and has a small mini brad through the centre.
 
 
The last card has a racing car on it from the stamp set "Rev up the fun".  This is a fun set with the racing car and also a motorbike, so a good choice for the man in our life.  The picture is not so good as I decided to take the card along to a recent Stampin' UP! event.  The box underneath gives a glimpse of my team gifts which I forgot to photo! duh along with my swaps and name badge.

Need a card for that Man in your life? Look no further

Morning

Back on the 10th May I ran a class, to cover all those cards we need for the men in our life.  It's a class that had been asked for by many of my ladies as we all find this design hard.

I was really pleased with my designs and colours for the class, and would love to hear what you think? so please leave me a comment.

We made 15 cards over the morning 5 designs and 3 of each.  I will share the first two with you today and then the others will follow in the next blog post.


Everyone received the Hardwood stamp set as part of their class fee, which made things easier for everyone, I can't believe that I only bought the set in order to design the class what was I thinking!!!!!ladies were talking about making sheds and fences with it.......the ideas were inspiring.

Crumb Cake was a favourite cardbase colour for me in this class and then I teamed it with different shades of browns and a bold dash of Night of Navy.


The above card was designed for Father's day but there was also a birthday greeting for those who wanted one.  The frame was created using the Deco Framlits and some linen thread just adds a focal point.  I loovve this stuff.  The greeting was stamped from Teeny Tiny Wishes and then punched out using the word window punch and layered onto a punch out from the modern label punch.
