I have just completed the August kits and they will be going to their new homes over the next few days.
Each of the packs contained the supplies to make 4 completely different cards with the Heartfelt Sympathy Stamp set. It contains stamps that were all words – no pictures, so it was a challenge to come up with designs that would complement the words!
Time for another guy birthday card, this one is very straightforward and features decorative paper as the focal point and it cut at an angle to give it a little more interest.

Have you taken a really good look at pages 148 and 149 in the new catalog? the page is headed ‘Paper Basics, cards and envelopes”
It was my dear Mum’s birthday at the beginning of August, her favorite colors have always been Navy Blue and Cream, so this was the starting point for the card I made for her. As she lives in the UK I needed to ensure that the card would be light enough to mail, without to much bulk from pearls or rhinestones. Those of you who know me also know I love bling on my my cards, this is where glimmer paper comes in very handy!!!

When I was at the Stampin’ Up convention in July I signed up to join in with an ‘organized swap’
It was for a 3D treat holder and the requirements were that it should hold a treat and be an original design if possible. As I love to make boxes I knew that would be the base of my ‘treat’ but I also wanted to show a technique – after all I was going to be giving my treat to fellow stampers/papercrafters so I wanted it to have a bit of a WOW factor.
A birthday card for a dear friend, whose favorite colors are pink and purple. Pink Pirouette and Wisteria Wonder fill the bill perfectly.
This card also contains a little watercoloring ~ I have found myself reaching for the blender pens on a number of projects recently because they produce such a lovely soft coloring.
The Washi Label Punch was introduced in the new 2015 – 2016 Stampin’ Up! catalog and I find I use it a lot. When I was making my swaps for the recent Stampin’ Up! convention in Salt Lake City, UT, I was using a very small greeting on my card and the full size of the punch was a little overwhelming – so with a little playing around I got it to produce just the size I needed.
We will spend the day making cards, 3D and Home Decor projects ~ yes…. a whole 7 hours……………. all have a Halloween (see the treat holder above!), Thanksgiving or Christmas theme and PDF recipes will be provided after the event.
Includes:
You just need to bring yourself and a sense of fun………..
All for just $65, Early Bird Special $60 ~ if registered before Sept 3rd 2015
Early Bird Special $60 ~ by September 3rd 2015
Bookings are essential by September 26th – so I can have all the supplies ready for you on the day!!!!!
Please share this with your friends and family – they won’t want to miss out on this great day of inky fun!!
Happy Stam

Last week I was in Salt Lake City, Utah, at Stampin’ Up!’s annual convention which is open to demonstrators and is an opportunity for demonstrators from all over the US as well as other countries to get together with Corporate leaders to (amongst other things) recognise achievements, to hear and see new products and ideas.
Convention 2015 is called ‘Inspire, Create, Share’ and one one of the best parts is to swap card ideas with your fellow demonstrators……. here is my swap: Continue reading
Last week my sister’s youngest son graduated from a UK university with a Masters degree in Aeronautical Engineering (amongst other things) A bit of a smart cookie (who must take after his aunt I’m sure!)
While at university he was a member of the Air Cadets which is linked to the Royal Air Force and during the early part of July he took his first solo flight. So many wonderful things to celebrate and hopefully the card I made and sent reflects the enormous pride I feel in his achievements.
