Wedding day celebrations with the bestie

Good morning all, so its the morning after the night before!! My little miss is now a Mrs. I honestly don't know how that happened, it all came around too quickly. I wanted to make her and her hubby a beautiful elegant, sophisticated card using stampin ups very own 'falling for you stamp set'. I hadn't used it yet and I will admit I did purchase the set specifically for her wedding. I'm sure ill get more use out of it in the future.

 I made two cards as I forgot I had purchased the falling for you embellishments to match the stamp set and embossing folder.  Its easily done as a crafter!

After yesterdays long day I'm going to relax my dancing feet and enjoy doing nothing.  :D

Happy Sunday everyone!!

Once you know how its very simple!! have a lovely day everyone and enjoy the first day of the week...... if you can.

                                                        Here's the card in action !!

male happy birthday card

Good afternoon all from a beautiful New Forest!!

I thought the forecast said it was meant to rain? I was looking forward to staying in my pjs all day and slobbing around... now I feel like I have to go out and enjoy it haha.

Well before I do that I thought id sent a cheeky post showing off the hexagon embossing folder!! I love it, do you?

Feel free to ask me any questions or the link to the stampin up website to view the PDF version of the catalogue.

Happy Sunday everyone.

A little wild shaker card

Good afternoon all!!!

Today I have a special little card I made whilst having one of mine and sarah jane rae's crafty days.I had a few cards I needed to make and this was one of them. This is a baby shower card for a friend at work. I'm really happy with the end result, I hope you think so too.... The mother to be adored it.

The only products that aren't stampin up is the stitched edge framelits and the sequins. However stampin up do have their own 'layering square/layering oval framelits' and their own assorted sequins but I couldn't take all my stash in a tote bag haha. We both love this stamp set!! we love it even more as it comes with dies too so no fussy cutting.... BONUS!!! 

I hope you've had a lovely Saturday, the weather has been gorgeous here in the New Forest.

See you all soon.

stampin up ' make a medallion'

Good morning!!!

               What a miserable day here in the new forest. never mind typical British weather hey! What have you all got planned for today??

I made this card for a friend of mine the other night. I just wanted her to know how lovely and how appreciated she is.
I chose the make a medallion stamp set due to its elegance.
I used smokey slate and island indigo inks to stamp with as I felt this was a good combo ;)
A little crushed curry cardstock to give it a little pop and this is what I produced :D

stampin up 'cards for causes'

Good morning all.

 Works been a tad hectic so far this week, I'm looking forward to my 8 days off starting from Sunday.

So us demonstrators have been rather busy since the Manchester bombings, Some of us have made and posted some hand made 'Thank you' cards in order to show local hospitals and services how truly grateful we are for all their hard work over that past few weeks in both Manchester and London. One of our demo's Julie Wade and a few other demonstrators have now organised every month a charity, service, person/ people or organisation to make cards for, which i am proud to say I am now a part of!

 Here are the designs I made for the  London fire brigade. I made 38 in total :)

Please feel free to comment their much appreciated.

Have a wonderful day!

Stampin up ' pretty kitty stamp set'

                               


 Good afternoon all,
                           
                  After my laptop crashed earlier I thought I would put it down and try again later. This post was supposed to be the 'pretty kitty' upload that was supposed to work earlier today. I do hate technology sometimes.
Anyway here is this mornings make, A pretty little card using the stamp and sentiment from stampin ups very own 'pretty kitty' selection. I purchased this stamp set a long time ago but forgot I even had it (true crafters brain right there) To make this card all you need is cardstock, aqua painter to color in the stamp a few 3D foam pads, bakers twine,  my decorative label punch and ......voila!!
cute isn't it!!


This card is for all the cat lovers out there!!


All comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
