Stampin' Up! In Colours Set 3

This is for the people who just do not want to use DSP papers. This is stamping, a sentiment and a decorative punch.

The stamp set I have used is the same as set 2, Touches of Texture. a very versatile set, you can get all sorts of looks.

I have used the stap that looks like a long thin impression of a piece os lace, then the splatter. Added a sentiment which has been put onto a piece of card stock punched with the new Pretty Label punch. If every you need any more information, just contact me as I am not always very good at getting it all down here!

Nearly forgot to mention I used some gems and linen thread also available from SU.

Stampin' up! in colour set 2

The next set used the designer series paper again. One of the floral sides of the paper.

I have also used a flower from the Touches of texture set (watch out for set 3 tomorrow I used more from this set). The ribbons have been used again, this time I have attempted bows! The flower has been die cut with one of the stitched framelet, I hope these framelets stay around for a few catalogues, I love them.

You could use some of the In Colour card stock to put a layer behind the flower to make it pop more. It depends what supplies you have and how much time you have. I like the way they look above.

Have fun crafting, Have you chosen a favorite colour yet?

Stampin' Up! in colours week

This week I have been working with Stampin' up 'in colours'. Let me introduce them:

Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink, Tranquil Tide, Berry Burst and Fresh Fig. Check them out here.

The first set I completed this week were these.

I used the designer series paper that you can buy in the colours (this paper is slightly shaded), with the flower shop stamp set and punch. You will see better on the below single shots that I used the new faceted gems in the centre of each flower. The colour coded ribbon is also available to match and it looks lovely behind the flowers. Any sentiment can be uses for these cards. You don't have to get all the colours as shown in the link about, they may not all be your cup of tea, but you can get them singularly. The paper will all come in one pack.

What is your favorite colour? I can't choose at the moment.

Crafting Forever Stamp Set

I loved the look of this set, very crafty. I had a go at water colouring, not very successfully but I had fun! I made the items I coloured into two cards. The Pumpkin Pie one I used the new Pretty Label punch to make an edge on the white part of the card. The bits I punched off I placed inside the card as part of the decoration inside the card.

Not sure about the Berry Burst one, but I had a go. :)

More Jar of Love Creations

At the weekend I also made some cards with the Jar of Love framelits and stamp set from Stampin' Up. If you need any information about the products used just let me know. I enjoyed making them all.

Bit dark when I took the photos again, I must do them in better light. It is white and pool party.

Remember tomorrow is the new catalogue day, and I will be placing another order there are a few things I need straight away, you know how it is.

Jar of Love Creations

I have at last been able to play and make some creations using the stamp set Jar of Love and the matching dies. I have also made my first mini wood crate with the new framelits that you can purchase from the new catalogue from 1st June.

It's a cute little project, looks like we have some jam jars in a crate to deliver to some friends. A bit of the new in colour Berry Burst. Sorry the photos are a bit dark, I may do a show and tell on You Tube, I will see if I get chance. I just want to craft at the moment. Not everything is turning out as I wanted but I will show good and bad. :)

Happy Crafting xx.

New Travellers Note Book.

I have ventured into the world of Wester's Pages via Mrs Brimbles. I have been watching the lovely note books the others have on Mrs Brimbles Happy Place on Facebook, and then up pops a thread that said pre-orders were being taken for Webster's Pages, and I watch a video of what is being offers and fell in love with the travellers note book in Platinum Rose. It matches my new purse, how could I say no?

This week the notebook has arrived and I have spent half of Saturday moving in to it and making a book mark, a card holder to hold some post-it notes, and a hello card that has been laminated so I can add some Washi tape if needed. I have decorated the Kraft coloured note book that came with the order, and I have added the extra books that I also added to my order. I love it!

It comes in a fabulous box.

I am so pleased I remembered I had a pearly pink and gold pen and it looks fabulous with the set up.

I made a book mark in case i want to mark a page for later in the day. If I do not want to use the book mark I also decorated a giant paper clip with ribbon.

In the small top pocket I have cut some pink card stock which goes well with the pink interior of the notebook. I have folded the top of the card and it holds a selection of post-it notes and is decorated with washi tape.

The under side of the post-it notes.

The middle small pocket I have made this card with the word hello. I thought I may want to wrap some washi round the card so I can use it when I am away from the craft area.

This is a piece of card with a larger post-it note, but it matches the see through pocket, which you could add a picture to, but I loved the way this post-it fitted.

My giant paper clip.

This is the Kraft coloured note book that came with the book. I have covered with a gold paper, and rounded the corners of the cover and the pages to match the other two books. I did not want to cover the two extra note books I purchased as they have a lovely finish on them as if they have been coated to help them last longer.

The back of the travellers note book cover has a slot so you can add a long note pad or to do list pad. I had one that fitted but the cover was red and blue so a bit of my Stampin' Up paper helped to make it match the theme.

A fun afternoon. :)

My Planner Journey.....so far!

I started to find that a note book just was not enough at work and I know I had my electronic diary in Outlook, but I needed a planner. The Managers started having a Collins coil diary housed in a leather folder, but I was not a manager at the time. So I went for a Filofax A5. That way I could have a diary and notes. I was into Red and got a cherry Red Filofax classic that was reduced to £38, bargain!

I ended up getting a pen to match, you can just see it, I am a bit obsessed with pens as well. :)

The A5 was and is great but I would have liked a smaller one to fit in my bag when needed, and I stalked Ebay and ended up with a personal and pocket to match.

A Filofax family arhhhh. Makes me so happy!!

BUT

At the end of last year I thought I would have a change from red (my work bag was red as well). So I went for turquoise/duck egg type colours. Sooooooo My work diary is now that colour to match!! They laugh at me at work I love matching things.

Got the business diary inserts, and a matching pen.

Then I founds a lovely place on face book called Mrs Brimbles Happy Place. I now have a subscription to a monthly stationery box, a lyradori travellers note book, and I have pre-ordered a rose gold (matches my new purse) Websters pages travellers note book, and am so excited about it coming!

I made a diary charm for the travellers note book.

This insert is smaller but it is the same colour so I had to use it!! The floral folder I made last weekend. It is laminated and I made it in a way were I could make a cut after I laminated it which them gave me a pocket as I had folded the paper before laminating.

A few sticky notes that were in the front of the smaller insert. This book was in my handbag before I added it as an insert.

This insert I bought with the cover. I have printed a chart which I am recording all the data from my Fitbit. I have glued them into the insert and it has made the pages really nice to handle. I am recording my exercise as well (this is not taking long to do at the moment!).

The last insert is blank at the moment, and is surrounded by another folder that I have made.

I have a pouch for some of my stickers and extra Papermate Joy pens and a pencil with a pencil cap on it.

Watch this space for my Rose Gold Websters pages!!
