Awash with Flowers

Just want to show off my new stamp set that came yesterday. I finally got to have a play with it very late last night after my son's school production. So at 10pm I finally was able to sit down and made a card very quickly, this set lends itself to making cards quickly. don't look at the ribbon I tried to tie a bow but was not working so gave up and did a very simple knot.

The colours are Pear Pizzazz lovely soft green and Marina mist for the outlines and Baja breeze for the solid areas, I have also used my two way glue pen and add some dazzling diamonds to the popped up flower.

Before I show you what I made last night just thought I would let you know that From today onwards you can pay for your Stampin Up orders by credit card...................................YES.............YOU READ RIGHT ............................................CREDIT CARD.

This special is for a limited time.

But back to what you came to look at cards in my new stock I got this week I also got this new die from stampin up 'blossom party' $40.95 pg 153 in the catalouge. I have seen some lovely cards made with this die so last night I gave it a play. It is so easy to use and the flowers that are cut from it a great size for both card making and scrapbooking. I have a idea running though my head for a scrapbook page which I will do over the next few weeks that will use these flowers. The leaves are the die 'little leaves' a stable in anyone collection.The first card I have used all the flowers from the die you get 4 different flowers and the circle in the middle. The colours I have used are all the new in colours plus daffodil delight. The words are a combination of both hostess ward stamps.

The second is my favourite of them I love the daisy's and the button middle part of the flower ( if anyone can tell me what it is called please help as I am having mental block). The card to me isn't finished yet it needs some white stitching around it but my white gel pen finally died so I need to order a new one. The colours are Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz the paper from the Greenhouse Gala DSP.

Christmas is here

Sorry I haven't blog for a while but I have had no time, my silly husband at training got a round house kick to the head that lead to 3 broken bones in his face. So he had to have emergency surgery and 3 plates attached to his bones to hold them together. This lead to him been home for a while and me looking after him.

but he is better now so I finally got to have a good play with the new catalogues items that I order a few weeks back. I ordered a lot of Xmas stuff because I keep say I WILL NOT be make cards on Dec the 24th.

Both of these cards have had shimmer paint this new product that stampin up has brought out, I love it in person they really do shimmer in the light.

this first card has shimmer paint added to the new embossed folder back ground Petals-a-Plenty and looks beautiful.
the second card has had shimmer paint added to Dasher to give him a all over shimmer and the edges of the cards lightly sponged with it as well.

I love this new little embosslit "Merry" it makes the cutest little tags and the snow flake is from "Merry Details".

the Santa tag is from a new stamp set "Holiday Hoopla" I can see me and the kids having great fun with him making Xmas decorations.

got to go and do school run.

JAI Fabric take two

I finally made a Birthday card for a very special little girl last night and wanted to do something different, so I thought I would make a fabric flower. This flower was the easiest thing to make I cut the circles of fabric out with my big shot and circles #2 die. These dies are great they can cut though Fabric, paper, cardboard and many more. And I cant wait till later today so I can order new ones that are in the new catty that launches today. I have also made the grass at the bottom from Old Olive Ribbon with I have just cut into points.I am also very happy that one of my favourite stamp sets has returned form a mini catalogue to the Main catalogue "Hello Again" which is on page 68 and at the LOW cost of $26.95. I have made many cards from it, it is a very useful set.

got to go and take kids to school.
