Nailed It Masculine Card

Wow, it's Friday again already, I'm not complaining as I love the weekend, usual routine blown out of the window, the smell of freshly ground coffee beans whilst we sit around the kitchen (I spend most of my time in here, love it).  As from next week Jack's racing series kicks off for this season which brings the two day events meaning our weekends will be a little different but we are still together as a family and that's the main thing.

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for a recent class, I can't tell you how much use I've had from this set Nailed It, I love how easy it is to create a masculine card, the co-ordinating dies make ease of cutting the tools out and I love that the set has a ruler die, fabulous.

There will be plenty more cards to follow this one using this set so do pop back to check them out.

When I first saw the Hexagons Dynamics embossing folder at On Stage in November, I was exciting to actually try it for myself and run it through my Big Shot machine.  I can't explain just how textured this folder is, it's pretty awesome and gets me every time I run some cardstock through with it, an outstanding product that is really a must, and don't just think of it for masculine products, it's way much more than that.

A bit of Love and Affection for you today

So it's Thursday already, where is this week going to!

Today's snip of creativity uses a gorgeous new stamp set called

"Love and Affection"

This set contains an array of flowers, leaves, stems and greetings too and I've struggled to put it down as I've found it so useable.  It is part of the Affectionately Yours Suite consisting of stamps, papers, ribbons, wash tape and more products that co-ordinate with each other.

My colour combo uses two new In Colours

Dapper Denim

and

Flirty Flamingo

I've used the Floral Affection Embossing Folders, these are so cute and pretty and textured too!

I'm also loving the new Floral Boutique Washi Tape and co-ordinating Solid Bakers Twine which ties lovey bows.

A really sweet and simple card that can be created in minutes and if you'd like to purchase any of the products I've used in my card, just click on the picture below to be directed to my online shop.

Rose Wonder sneaky peak

I've had a lovely break over the Christmas holidays, spent some lovely time with family, had some gorgeous gifts and I'm looking forward to the New Year and the launch of the Spring/Summer Catalogue and Sale-a-bration promotion!

 

Today I'm sharing a card we will be making at one of my 6 Card Classes during January, it uses a new stamp set and thinlits die set that will be available as a bundle, meaning you save 15% when purchasing both at the same time.

 

 

My colour combo is

 

Hello Honey

Lost Lagoon

Blackberry Bliss

 

all In Colours from last year, a gorgeous combination!

 

I ran the Rose Garden thinlits die through my big shot using Whisper White cardstock and attached it to a Brick Wall embossed layer of Hello Honey.

 

The birthday greeting image is from the "Rose Wonder" stamp set, and I used the label die from the thinliets set to cut it out, adding a punched bitty butterfly in Blackberry Bliss.

 

The strip of DSP (designer series paper) is from the Sale-a-bration offering which means that if you place a £45 order during the qualifying period of 5th January to 31st March then you can choose an item for FREE from a huge selection.  This paper is called "Wildflower Fields" and there is a gorgeous stamp set that works well with it.

 

Don't forget that you can still order from the

 

 

this continues until 4th January so it's not too late!

 

Place your order online, there will be a new Hostess Code beginning New Year's Day and if you spend over £25, apply the code to your online order and I will send you a little gift in the post to say thank you for shopping with me!

Always someone to thank

I think there's always a reason to say "Thankyou" to someone in the way of a card, even the smallest thing can call celebration with a thanks!  Well that's my opinion anyway, any excuse to give a card or little treat bag of sweets decorated with a handmade tag!  The delight on the recipient's face, knowing that you thought of them for something they did without even really thinking about it.

 

Today's card uses a stamp set from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue, one I have used a lot called "Lighthearted Leaves".

 

 

My colour combo is Soft Suede, Pool Party and Island Indigo.

 

I always go to the Woodgrain embossing folder when I am looking for something a little masculine as I think it works really well.

 

 

 

I love the "Greetings Thinlits" dies, a set of three greetings that are a perfect size to add to your cards, you will need a die cutting machine to use these but I can tell you that I just couldn't live without my BIG SHOT machine, it takes cardmaking and papercraft to another level and worth every penny, a fantastic investment.
