Lovely Romance

I made this card to give with the Pop n Cuts gift box on my previous post.

It is a mini card which fits inside the Crumb Cake note card envelopes.  The reason it was this size was because I was left with a strip of card from making the box so thought I should put it to good use!

I used the "Lovely Romance" stamp set for the stamped images and the greeting was from the "Lovely Little Labels" stamp set.

I used the medium oval punch to create the cute bow

Thank you for stopping by, back soon with some projects from my all day Christmas Class.

Pop N Cuts Card Base Die

I found this box base whilst browsing on Pinterest, the very talented Tanya Bell had a very different design but I used the basic measurements for the box base then added my own touch!

It uses the "Pop n Cuts" Card Base die, pure proof that it's not just for cards!

My colour combo is Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding along with some Basic Grey and a bit of sparkle!

We embossed panels of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock using the Beautiful Baroque Embossing Folder then using the Deco Labels Framelits cut layers for the lid along with a sparkling silver circle.

For me the star of the show is the new Bow Die, love it, love it, love it!!!

New Single Stamps

Stampin' Up! have released a new range of Single Stamps, and what better than a festive selection, just in time to kick start your Christmas!

8 stamps ranging from £4.50 to £8.95

and I think my favourite so far is this one, I know it will get lots of use as tags for gifts but I like so many of them it's hard to choose, I may just have to get them all!

If you haven't purchased any of the single stamps before, they are only available in Clear Mount and will only be available until the end of January.  They are supplied in cello bags and not in plastic storage cases.

Why not treat yourself to a matching punch or Framelit Die as most of them have co-ordinating products to cut them out.  The tag image above co-ordinates with the Chalk Talk Framelits set.

You can purchase these through my online shop here or if it's just one stamp you are after and don't want to pay the £4.95 delivery charge then just give me a call, I will add it onto my next order and deliver it to you by Royal Mail for just 50p to cover postage and packaging.

Holly Jolly Christmas

More Christmas coming your way today I'm afraid!

Are you loving the new colour "Smoky Slate", it just goes with everything!  Here I have teamed it with Coastal Cabana and a little Silver Glimmer Paper.

The snowflake images are from a stamp set called "Around Aray", lovely little images that can be punched out with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch, so cute!

The "Holly Jolly" image is from a set called "Tags 4 You" and it has a matching punch called the "Label Bracket".

I used the "Beautifully Baroque" embossing folder, definitely one of my favourites at the moment.  Also loving the new 1/8" Silver Ribbon, it is so pretty in real life.

Not the best of pictures, weather is so grim without a flash it's too dark and with it's a bit light, think I could do with some photography classes!

Wonderful Wreath

So first I have great news to share with you.....

THE MAGNETIC PLATE IS BACK!!!!

Don't delay, order your's today, I know lots of you have been waiting for it's arrival!

Onto today's card, have you seen this "Wonderful Wreath" stamp in the new A/W Catalogue, it's a single stamp available in wood, perfect for the festive season and can be dressed with many things!

Here I dressed it with mini silver brads, cutting the wreath out and mounting with dimensionals.

Loving the new "Expressions Thinlits Dies", here the "Merry" phrase fitted perfectly at the bottom of my card on top of an embossed section created using the Delicate Designs embsosing folder.  I like to use wax paper with these "Thinlits" dies, along with an extra shim and a couple of runs through the machine to help the cardstock push out easier from the die.

A cute bow to finish at the bottom of the wreath and the result, a festive card in a flash!

Stamps: Wonderful Wreath
Ink: Old Olive
Accessories: Expressions Thinlits Dies, Delicate Designs Embossing Folder, Mini Silver Brads, Oval Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch

Festive Flurry

Festive Flurry is a gorgeous new Snowflake stamp set which you will find in the new A/W catalogue on Page 30, it is available in Wood and Clear mount and the best is yet to come, it has a set of matching Framelits Dies to cut them out with ease!

My colour combo is:

Smoky Slate

Coastal Cabana

Whisper White

I heat embossed the larger snowflake using the new Encore Silver ink pad with clear embossing powder, the effect is stunning.  As the Encore ink is slow drying it is perfect for using with embossing powder.

Blogger is behaving badly today and keeps rotating this picture but here you can get a close of the new 1/8" Silver Ribbon and we punched tiny circles using the Cupcake Punch with silver glimmer paper.

Here is a close up of the snowflakes

And another view of the card, do you love how classy the new "Stylish Stripes" embossing folder is, of course it's not just for Christmas, it will work with so many of your projects.  You can find this on Page 22 of the A/W Catalogue.

The greeting is from another new set called "Christmas Messages", a great set of 9 greetings perfect for your Christmas projects.

And here's all the other greetings in that set, found on Page 34 of the A/W Catalogue priced at £20.95 for clear mounts.

Snow Much Fun

I know, I can hear some of you groaning, "not Christmas already", but it's never to early to make a start!

So today I have a card for you that we created at my Autumn/Winter Catalogue launch.

We used a new stamp set called "Snow Day" which has a cheeky little snowman inside with all his features plus a hat and scarf and snowflakes too!

He was stamped with Craft White ink onto Coastal Cabana cardstock then his features were added.

The "Merry" die cut is from the new "Expressions Thinlits" set which I love.  I use wax paper to help the cardstock remove easily from the die.

The ribbon is also new along with the patterned paper, both of which you will find in the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue.
