Been busy

Well its been a while since I posted anything, and I really need to get more motivated to upload my projects. Inspired to do this as I am directing more people to my blog and think there should be more here if they take the time to come and look.


This one is a card I made for my parents for Easter. I needed a religous themed cards, but sadly no stamps that met this criteria ... so after having a look on Split Coast Stampers I found one to CASE, then got a bit creative.

I printed out and cut a cross on computer paper then used the cut out cross as a mask and coloured the background using Pastels, I used the yellow to make the apperance of a halo. The cross on the page looked a bit too plain and stark, so used the vine stamp out of Vingage Vogue set from the Autumn/Winter mini, to create the effect of vines on the cross. To do this I used the paper which I cut the original cross out of to mask the card. Vingage Vogue flowers and leaves were added with half pearls in the centre. I can't remember the exact colours used but think it was So Saffron, Elegant Eggplant and one of the greens. I was so happy with it I made another one for my in-laws also.

End of Sale-A-Bration - Start of a new Mini

Well the end of March marks the end of Sale-A-Bration, so many people took good advangate of the free stamp sets on offer (including myself). While its sad to say goodbye to a mini and free stamps, the great news is ...

1st April marks the start of the new mini catalogue, New link is up, and boy are there some lovely stamps and things in this one. A few of big things that took my attention ...

• Big Shot - yep bigshot die machine is here, including some exclusive to Stampin' Up!® dies.
• Clear Mount Stamps - for those who always wanted a better look at where you are positioning your stamps, these babies are for you. Also for anyone who is short on storage space as each set lives in a case like a dvd case.
• 3 New In-Colours - Rich Razzleberry is my favourite, and all come in stamp pad, ribbon, cardstock, and ink refill.
• Also a new stamp set I have not been able to put down - Vintage Vogue. Keep an eye out on my gallery for some pics of what I've been doing with this.

The other really exciting thing for those who are looking for different hostess stamp sets, there is a new level 1 and level 2 set available for the duration of the mini.
