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 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.

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. :)

Simple Stampin Up Sympathy card

I have had to make this card this week to send out to a friend who has a loss, we only just found out at the weekend. I think simple cards are better for these cards.

Christmas Advent Calendar using Stampin Up

This was the major project we completed on the craft retreat, we all applauded when we saw the one Julie had made. She supplied us all with an Ikea frame, and it is a good size at approx 50cm x 50cm.

It was not a hard project, but there was a lot of paper to cut for all of those 24 boxes!

I have not added a 'Happy Christmas' sentiment to my inner scene, I did not know if I actually wanted it there or not, and am still wondering. We were given the Christmas paper pack, and sequins, and a pack of the boxes.

Paper Haven retreat 2014 project 1 Stampin Up

I was so excited, my second time at the retreat in Leeds. All supplies were Stampin Up, apart from the tin in the below project and a few other things we decorated, but they were all included in the price, as were all the meals and two nights accommodation. We had a great time.

I made 6 thank you cards for the inside of my tin. if you are interested about any of the supplies that made these I can let you know, as I am an Independent Demonstrator and can get the items. If anyone is interested in going next year I can point you in the right direction, the sooner you choose to go the better the monthly payments will be.

Small Gift Box

These very small boxes could hold ear rings or any small piece of jewellery and they would make favour boxes. This idea was from Elaine at paper craft button.

Stampin' Up sentiments teamed with punches help to add that little but extra to a gift or a card.

Blackberry Bliss Crazy Stampin Up

Stampin Up's Blackberry bliss has got under my skin, yet another creation using the colour! This time I have used flower stamps with matching punches to create the decorations and a die to make the opening for the sentiment to sit behind. I love this sentiment stamp.
