Masculine Card using the Mini Treat Bag Framelits Dies

Since the Mini Treat Bag set of Framelits Dies were released in the Spring/Summer Catalogue, I have to tell you that I have had so much use from this set, I absolutely love it!

 

This project isn't my idea, I came across several versions on Pinterest and really loved that I could make something quite masculine with it, something I'm sure you all struggle with, it's just so easy to create "pretty" things isn't it

 

The Bow punch is just soooo cute, don't you think?

 

 

I used the "Celebrate Today" stamp set from the Spring/Summer Catalogue for the greeting inside, happy to say this set will be carrying over to the new Catalogue.

 

Isn't that bow just soooo cute!

Cupcakes all round!!

Another swap that I designed, this time I used the exact same sketch as previously and just changed the stamped images and colours.

 

All new In Colours again, I have to say I am really loving them!

 

So this cute little Cupcake is from the same stamp set as the tree, "Sprinkles of Life" and I can't wait to hold a class with it, I hope you will be able to attend!

 

Again the Tree Builder Punch works with the frosting on top of the cupcake, love this! 

 

 

The "Thanks a Bunch" greeting is also from the "Sprinkles of Life" stamp set.  I punched out the word using my Word Window Punch then gave it flag ends with the Banner Punch and cut a cocktail stick in half to create a Cake Pick!

 

I have found this Envelope Paper so useful, I had to order more!!  I know you are just going to love these new In Colours and can't wait to share them with you very soon!

Sprinkles of Life Swaps for Telford

I'm back as promised to share one of my swaps I created for the Telford Regional Event.

 

I used lots of new products for my swap and as my pre-order had only arrived two days before the event, I had to get to work quickly!

 

I had already drawn a sketch of how I was going to lay out my card, just needed to add stamps and ink with some layers!

 

So I used the new "Sprinkles of Life" stamps, I absolutely adore this set and the matching tree punch.

 

I've used some new In Colours

 

Mint Macaron

Tip Top Taupe

Watermelon Wonder

 

 

 

I love how this stamp set has so many different stamps that are just so versatile and of course, very, very cute!

 

Those tiny little flowers can be punched out with the new "Tree Builder" Punch.

 

The stripy paper is from the pack of "Envelope Paper", double sided sheets which are quite light in weight, suitable for making your own envelopes but perfect for any of your craft projects.

 

My Thank You greeting is from the set called "Another Thankyou".

 

Hope you like my card, if you are planning on attending my Catalogue Launch on 1st June then you could be making this card but there will be several designs for you to choose from.

 

 

 

 

Regional Training in Telford - My Name Badge

 I have been away on holiday to St. Lucia for a family wedding, once the evening function has taken place I will share some pictures with you.

 

As I was away I was pretty late placing my pre-order.

 

As a Demonstrator I get to sneak peak and order a selection of new products a whole month before they go live to everyone, it really is an exciting time!

 

My pre-order arrived two days before our Regional Training Event in Telford so I had to get to work quick, fighting the jet lag to get my swaps, team gifts and name badges created.

 

I kept my badge really sweet and simple and used my favourite pre-order stamp set called

 

"Sprinkles of Life"

 

This is a stamp set that supports the UK Ronald Macdonald House Charities and it's nice to know that for every set sold a donation is made from Stampin' Up!.

 

For my badge I cut a rectangle of Kraft Cardstock as it is a good sturdy weight, then added a stamped whisper white layer of the tree trunk and flowers, followed by my name stamped from the "Back to Basics" Alphabet set.  I am pleased to say this is making it's way into the new Catalogue.

 

The leaves for the tree are a separate stamp and what's even better is that we have a co-ordinating punch to cut it out!

 

I know this stamp set and punch are going to be a huge hit with you all and I have a class planned for you so keep a look out for the info landing in your mailboxes soon!

 

 

The clouds are punched using the "Build a Cupcake" punch, great that it has another use and not just for cupcake frosting!

 

I have used 3 of the new In Colour inks here, Mint Macaron for the leaves and grass, Tip Top Taupe for the Tree Trunk and my name, then lastly Delightful Dijon for the flowers.

 

The lacy ribbon is a new In Colour range, so pretty and delicate.

The greeting is from a fabulous new set called "Sprinkles of Life" and I really like this greeting.  The set has a variety of greetings that work really well with the images contained in it.  The little flower is also part of this set and there's an AMAZING punch that co-ordinates, you'll have to wait to see that one!

 

Well I have to go and take Alfie out for his walk now as I can actually see Blue Sky and it's been raining on and off most of the day.

 

I will be back to share with you the beautiful Make and Take card we created at Telford.

 

 



Kinda Eclectic

Today's card is one of a set of three that I designed for a recent class.

 

The picture isn't that great as the sun was shining into my craft room so the colour isn't quite as vibrant as it should be, but hey, I'm not complaining that the sun is shining!

 

I love how this set has so many beautiful images in it.

 

My colour combo is:

 

Sahara Sand

Early Espresso

Blackberry Bliss

Lost Lagoon

 

 

I love how the set also works with two of our Butterfly Punches, the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly.

 

The Starburst image is such a useful one, great for backgrounds and the perfect sun!

 

 

Don't forget this weeks
