Bakers Box Die

 
Today is a very exciting day for me, as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I get to have sneak peaks at the new upcoming

Autumn/Winter Catalogue
 
You will be able to view and purchase from this catalogue at the beginning of September, and once I have had the opportunity to place a pre-order in August I will start sharing some sneak peaks with you!
 
I was lucky enough to receive a set of stamps as a Pillow Gift in Madeira and I plan on creating some projects with that very soon, so watch this space!

 
 
 
Have you seen how cute this little box is?
 
It's created using a new Thinlits Die set in the Annual Catalogue called
 
"Bakers Box"
 
I just love how sweet it is and how easy it is to put together
 
You create the box by die cutting two pieces and adhering them together, all from one A4 sheet which is great!
 
The set is £30 and includes 9 dies, some of which enable you to cut different types of handles so you can choose!
 
 
 
We made this box at my recent Big Shot Class so it co-ordinates with the last card that I posted here a couple of days ago
 
Again I am really trying to step away from Mint Macaron but it's so hard, I love it!!
 
The cute little greeting is from another new set called
 
"Homemade for You"
 
There is a die in the Bakers Box set that cuts out the starburst zig zag circle

Blossoms and Butterflies

 My recent Big Shot Class focussed on the Labels Framelits Dies and the Bold Butterflies Framelits Dies along with the Boho Chic Embossing Folder, quite a lovely combination!
 
A crisp and clean colour combo
 
Mint Macaron
Basic Black
Whisper White
Silver Glimmer
 
I've also used some of the Vellum cardstock from Stampin' Up!, it is really great quality.  Here I used it to die cut the intricate butterfly, behind I cut the same butterfly from Silver Foil.
 
 
Having the Pansy Punch that co-ordinates with the flower image from the Birthday Blossoms stamps makes creating cards super speedy!
 
I like my cards to have some depth to them so like to curl up edges and layer with Dimensionals, but of course you should always consider postage costs, especially if you are sending out a batch of cards as a Thank You or Invitations to an event.

 
I will share another project with you soon, but for now I must go as I have a class to get to!

Final Card from my Birthday Blossoms Class

So the final card from my Friday class, again in the same colour combination using the same stamps but this time a different design.
 
I used the new Boho Chic embossing folder which is really growing on me.  I love how textured it is, it pops right out at you!
 
 
Another new product, the "Lots of Labels" Framelits Dies set, such a valuable set that I can't put down!
 
The new Metal Rimmed Pearls are stunning, a great embellishment to add to the centre of any flower.
 
Loving the new Labels Framelits too, I'm finding them so useful.
 
So now you've seen a few creations, I'm wondering if you are in love with this stamp set "Birthday Blossoms" just like me!!
 
If you are, why not purchase the set via my
 
 
If you place an online order for £25 or over, why not use July's
 
 
Hostess Code U7SA9RNS
 
and I will send you a little gift in the post to say thank you!
 
or email or call me if you are local and I will add a set to my next order.

Beautiful Birthday

I love how easy this stamp set is to use, I have created lots of different cards, besides the ones I designed for my Birthday Blossoms Class and I could sit and create with it for hours!
 
Following on from my previous posts this card continues with the same colour scheme as they are all part of a set.
 
I particularly love the greeting "Have a Beautiful Birthday", the fonts work lovely together and I like how the first part is inside a banner making it slightly different to other greetings.  I used the Lots of Labels Framelits dies to frame my greeting.
 
 
Can you see I've used some of the NEW Silver Thread behind one of the flowers.
 
To create this effect I wrap it around three of my fingers a few times then secure the ends with a glue dot, then another glue dot to adhere it behind my flower.
 
The white label layer has been extended from it's usual cut size, something I will have to show you in a photo, watch this space!
 
Another Metal Rimmed Pearl to centre one of the flowers and leaves stamped in Mint Macaron ink onto Mint Macaron cardstock and hand cut.
