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.

More new products from Stampin up - Butterflies Thinlits Die

This is available from 6th January 2015 and will be item number 137360 at www.craftingshaz.stampinup.net


These are great the largest butterfly is approximatly 11cm x 10cm.

I have used them to make some 40th birthday gifts and card for a friend.

All matching. I have made a card,decorative bottle label and a small box that holds some tea lights. One of the large butterflies has been cut from white card and I sponged with Pool party and then spritzed with the vanilla shimmer smooch spritz. the other has been cut from Pool Party and this has also been spritzed. I also took the sprtiz to the greeting on the card.

The embossing folder will also be new, it is called Spring flowers.

Get well card

My sister had to miss our Silver Wedding Anniversary meal as she was poorly, so I sent back a get well soon card, with a little note in side. She has a great eye regarding interior design and colours and arranging things, and the gift she sent over with my dad, was beautifully decorated and arranged. Thank you Sis xx.

She also made a cake, but only iced it the day before she was ill, so she did not know if we wanted to eat it! At the time of writing, we are still wondering! It is fruit so it will be OK to wait a while. I loved the glitter icing on our names, and she was going to bring a chocolate one as well, we were very spoilt.

My colleague at work also made a cake, this one was sponge so we are eating this one first.

This was the gift arrangement from my sister, it was fabulous.

Blendabilities have arrived and are available to buy here. I have also completed a video to show you the ones I have purchased so far.

Hope you like them as much as I do, you can always join me on my Facebook page and we can share projects.

Decorated Paper Bag for Gifts

I have been using mt Stampin Up products to decorate a plain white paper bag. This is going to be used to hold a few small birthday presents for my niece. The bag measures approx 8.5"x 10"x 4". I bought a batch of them so they are only a few pence each, but when they are decorated they look lovely and it is a fun project to complete. I think I will have to make some for Christmas as well.

You can buy all item require for this through me. :)

Bag charm three

This one has been done using an old bag charm and adding new things. I could not find many large beads in this colour theme then I remembered some that decorated the outside of Christmas crackers that I rescued before they went in the bin. They just added the right size to the bag charm.
