Dress Up

I love the new Dress up range and decided to have a go using the card base pop n cuts together with the dress form pop n cuts and the dress up framelits.  This is the card closed.

 

Inside the card I made some wallpaper using the colour collection designer series paper

 

I cut out some of the butterflies using the beautiful wings embosslits 

I then made a little envelope to stick on the bottom of the card to put some money in as a gift.

I have a feeling that I am going to be making a lot of these cards.  Using the dies makes them so quick and easy to do but they look like you've spent hours creating them.

Let me know if you would like to order any of the supplies as I will be happy to help

My Digital Studio

I love scrapbooking and I love using computers, don't get me wrong, I'm not some sort of computer whizz but I love how easy it is to create wonderful things and the new Digital Studio from Stampin UP! is no exception.  With a few clicks you can create wonderful digital scrapbook pages and cards and calendars and a whole lot more.

I knocked these two up this morning:

 I love how you have access to some of the gorgeous papers, stamps and punches

The Digital Studio will soon be available for you to purchase, in the meantime watch this space.....

Online Ordering!

You can now order online directly though my shop front here:

Let's go Shopping

It has all the wonderful Stampin' Up! Products that I use daily on my creations and now you too, can create anything from my blog just by visiting my store and purchasing the items.  To make things easier I will try and create a menu for each item so you know which catalogue numbers I used.

There is also a section called Ideas, if you click on that it will take you to other cards and boxes from the blog with menus included.

I think it's a great idea, it was how I started out with Stampin' Up!  I saw a card on someones blog and then contacted them to order the stamps, now you can do the same.

You can also go through this icon:

on the left of my blog which will take you directly to the page.

If you have any ideas of things you would like to make, please e-mail me and I will have a go at creating them for you.

Stampin' Up! Just keeps getting better and better!

Have a great day

dads 80th

 

It's my father in laws 80th Birthday soon and I always struggle to make male cards, they're not a pretty as lady's cards so I never seem to enjoy making them, that was, until I saw this card and I fell in love!

I wanted to stamp my clouds as I love the effect and this card is huge - 8" x 8" but I don;t think it looks lost.

It didn't take too long but it is definitely a card I will be making again and again, especially for men! What do you think?

This is the inside of the card, I wanted to do something a bit different and it's been left blank as we have a lot of people to sign it!

I even decorated the envelope!

Have a great day

Sneak Peak

 

 The new spring catalogue comes out on February 1st celebrating 25 years of Stampin UP!  As demonstrators we are SO lucky to be able to have previews of the up and coming goodies.

It was my gorgeous niece Nancy's 18th birthday last weekend and I wanted to create her a special card as Summer and I were unable to attend her party due to dance commitments.

  

I made this extra large card for her - it measures 8" square and I embossed the top (which, sadly, you can't see very well in the photos)

You will LOVE the new catalogue but if you can't wait until February, why not order some of our goodies from the main catalogue, for every £45 you spend you can get a free stamp or paper set from the special Sale-a-Bration flyer on the left hand side of my blog!

I'm now off to brave the snow again and walk down the garden to my craft house.

Have a great day
