Valentine’s Week # 3

February 10, 2015February 9, 2015Leave a comment

Number 3 of my Valentine’s cards is one I found on Pinterest, but I changed the colors from reds and blacks to Coastal Cabana and Basic Black. I was told about Pinterest a few years ago and I logged on…. 2 hours went by without me seeing the passing of them and I vowed I would be more careful with my time in the future! So I ration myself to about 20 minutes each time, I was fortunate to find this little gem in one of my 20 minutes!

I hope you are enjoying these valentine projects – please leave me a comment!

Valentine’s Week # 2

So this is the second of my Valentine’s cards, it is one I made as a swap for Stampin’ Up!’s convention last summer. I chose really contemporary colors for this one and it used heat embossing technique for the background. Once again, I think it would make a perfect anniversary, engagement or wedding card!

I hope you are enjoying these valentine projects – please leave me a comment!

Leadership Swaps ~ Part 2

February 6, 2015February 1, 20152 Comments

Earlier this week I shared my ‘ organised swap’ for Leadership, but we also have a ‘general swap’ where you design a card and make as many as you would like to get back from fellow swappers.

Due to time constraints I was only able to make 20 but I was pleased with my design and I received some lovely swaps in return.

Leadership Swaps ~ Part 1

February 4, 2015February 1, 2015Leave a comment

Last week I attended Stampin’ Up!’s annual Leadership Conference in Orlando Florida. This is a chance to hear from the senior people from Stampin’ Up!’s home office, to meet fellow demonstrators and to share ideas. It is open to all demonstrators and is a great way to connect with those who share a love of paper crafting.

Every time demonstrators get together it is a good excuse to make cards and to swap with our peers, it is one of the highlights!

Stamp Set of the Month to the rescue

January 19, 2015Leave a comment

You cannot always get notice of the need for a card, so having some ‘cards to hand’ is always a good thing. We had a bereavement in my husband’s family, as we live so far away, we will not be able to attend the services but at least we can let them know we are thinking of them.

Last July’s stamp set of the month was Flowering Flourishes and I made a series of cards which did not have any sentiment so could be used for most any occasion.
