Now just look at this cute little dude!!! ~ yes, a Petal Pink raccoon perfect for a child’s birthday. Who says you can’t have a pink raccoon?
I made this for a little girls 1st birthday, I later cut out the number ‘1’ and attached it to the balloon – it really did look really cute when finished. The Special Someone Stamp Set will be available in tomorrow’s flash sale!
Continue readingI have a real love of flowers, my dear Mum and dear Aunt both had ‘green’ thumbs, were enthusiastic gardeners and had beautiful gardens. The green thumb skipped a generation – I enjoy the garden when it is blooming but am certainly NOT an enthusiastic gardener, I am inspired by their example because I love the result – not the doing!
We have the power to inspire people just as they inspire us so creating today’s card was easy with the beautiful Inspiring Iris Stamp Set.
I think when you send a card you send a little piece of your heart, when you send a handmade card, well that is just a little bit more ‘heart’ going into the envelope!
Today I have a trio of parasols using the Pretty Parasol Stamp Set and Umbrella Builder Punch, paired with the lovely bright and cheerful Daffodil Delight and Whisper White.
Here we are on the threshold of summer and this suite kinda reminds me of summer holidays. Make a splash with the effervescent seascapes with sweet sea creatures, whales, turtles, seahorses and jellyfish (although not too sure about the jellyfish being sweet!)
The Whale of a Time suite has a coordinating punch that will cut the whale as well as a great little water spray coming out of his water spout! A DSP, the Seabed Embossing Folder, then some sequins and Pool Party Sheer Ribbon. I think this will be perfect for cards for the younger people in our families!

At the beginning of the year Stampin’ UP! introduced the Umbrella Builder Punch to go along with the coordinating Under My Umbrella Stamp Set (which has the most delious pair of welly boots – which is very on-point at the moment) Anyway, I am so thrilled, these are now part of the 2020 -2021 Annual Catalog!
I like to see if I can make my goodies do more that one thing so I have used the punch to create a flower!

You will have either arrived from Dana’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is NEW CATALOG SNEAK PEAK ~ where we are sharing some of the new products from Stampin’ UP!’s 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalog.
Shaker Cards are such a lot of fun, especially for children but I am sure an adult would enjoy one as well! It was our youngest granddaughters birthday last week so I thought a fun card would be just perfect, particularly as she will not be having a party with friends and extended family this year.
We later found out that she wanted an ‘elephant’ cake for her birthday – which her talented parents made for her – so the Birthday Bonanza DSP, with the cute animals, I used for her card turned out to be in the right theme!
As we get closer to June 3rd and the launch of the new 2020 – 2021 Annual Stampin’ UP! catalog we shall also get closer to saying a fond farewell to some of the products that will be retiring on that same day.
The Layered with Kindness stamp set and Country Floral 3D embossing folder have been a couple of favorites over recent months so I have a card that will show them together ‘ one last time’ 🙂 You can still get these products from my on-line store (while stocks last) by clicking the links at the end of my post.
Oh, I am so excited with today’s card – I made it for my sister’s birthday last week , I wanted to do something ‘vintagy’ as that is very much her style. Unusually for me I have used two stamp sets for this card, Very Versailles and Artisan Textures (soon to retire – so order yours now!)
I am not sure whether you call it vintage or shabby chic – what is the difference or is it the same thing? ! Anyway I used a number of techniques and materials to create the effect – sponging, distressing, multiple layers of stamping, then lace, twine, pearls and vellum.
