Lets ink it up ..........

How many of you just use your ink pads to stamp with?

Do you then colour in your images?

Want to try something a little different?


Would you like to be able to create multi coloured images like this?

It's easy with Stampin Up.

How?

By using our great Stamp n Write Markers.  They are amazing.  A pen at one end and a brush tip at the other.  They come in every colour that the ink pads do, they are refillable and are amazing to colour with.


This stamp was coloured with five different colours and then stamped in one go.  Simple.

So how do you get your hands on these markers?

Well thats simple too, you can either buy them as you go, ordering from me at


or by emailing me and ordering them.


By joining the Virtual Hostess Club, you get to collect all the markers in the current colour collections over 4 months spreading the cost and also one month having the chance to earn hostess rewards.

What could be better?  




Here's the card I made for one of the New Crafting Birds - Sandra Murphy.

Sandra has joined my Team from Australia - she has relocated back to the UK.  

Hi Sandra and Welcome.

If you join my team you will also get a hand made card and an envelope of gorgeous goodies from me, within the first fortnight of joining.

I would love it if my followers also become my team mates.  We have great fun and lots of laughs.


Don't forget if you want any of the products in today's card, please don't hesitate to contact me or go to my online shop.

A is for Apology.

Don't we all hate saying Sorry, even worse don't we hate it when we've either hurt someone or let them down.  I know I do.

I had to say sorry to a friend this week, I let them down, and for that I am sorry.  My friend understands I could not avoid this and it's not something I would normally do, but I wanted to show her that I 
was really sorry and that I cared.

So what did I do?

Well, I got her a bouquet of flowers and made her a gorgeous card to say how sorry I was.



I used three of our amazing stamp sets to create this gorgeous card, three colours and two coloured pieces of cardstock.  The rule of threes is great.

So what did I use, well, here's the recipe

Primrose Petals cardstock and ink
Very Vanilla cardstock
Early Espresso ink
Soft Suede Ink
Postcard Stamp
Flower Shop Stamps and Punch
Occasions Alphabet set

I loved being able to stamp everywhere on this card and to make the inside as special as the outside.

Would you love to be able to recreate this.  It's not hard and anyone can do it!
