Early Espresso Birthday and 50% free

In today's post:

• Sandras Birthday, early espresso and crumb cake
• Short and Sweet - 50% extra free
• Big shot, big deals

Morning everyone.

Hows your week been?  Mines been lovely.  Although I am missing my kids, (They're away with family), the house is quiet, and too tidy.  But I have had lots of time to get crafty and make some special gifts for special people.

It was my friend Sandra's birthday so I needed to make her an extra special card.  I am loving crumb cake and early espresso together at the moment, and here's what I came up with.

I made the base for this by folding a piece of UK A4 in half to create an A5 card.

Very vanilla was stamped with Gorgeous Grunge

Matts and layers using the windows framelits were finished off with the lovely saying from the Feel Goods set.

Don't you love that heart border.  Created completely with our hearts boarder punch.  Yummy.

Beautiful ribbon deserves a beautiful bow.  Finished off with a gorgeous button.

Don't you love the colour of this button.  Yep, me too.  And it started life as a clear faceted button.  I coloured it with a blendabilitie pen in the darkest of the skin tones.  Gorgeous.

Off course the inside had to look pretty too.

 

And there was a matching tag for her present.

mmmm chocolates.

So I hear whats this short and sweet, and the 50% free.  Yes I did say 50% free.

A Mug, for your craft desk

Hi guys

Shortly after taking the plunge to become a demonstrator, I had a meeting with my Upline Traci and we discussed various different projects. 

Traci had posted this fantastic cup on her blog (here)

I just loved it and wanted to have a go.  On the Same day as I sat down to craft my lovely UPS man delivered a box with lots of new Stampin Up goodies.  These included the New In-Colour 2013-15 colours, and the Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set, together with the matching Framelits.  I just loved them and had to use them straight away.  The new colours are adorable, and the Pistachio pudding and Strawberry slush reminded me of Pims and Cucumber.  A great summer combo.

Here's the result.

I finished the mug off with a gift tag, stamped and cut using the Hearts a Flutter set and a mini peg coloured with Strawberry Slush.  The ribbon and button were from my old stock.

I really had fun making this.  If you would like to order the supplies to make this give me a call or drop me an email.

Hugs

It's Cutie Pie time again and Tim loves his cupcakes

Hi everyone, today's a great day, the sun is shining and I had a fantastic afternoon with my gorgeous son. We went shopping and finally managed to get him some "Skylander" characters.  Not to mention that at thirteen he already knows exactly how to order his coffee in Costa.  (A man after my own heart - lol)

Anyway for my card I chose to use the fabulous Timmy Tiger with his cupcake for my friend's birthday card.  So here's timmy in all his splendour.....

Tim has of course been coloured with promarkers.  I then layered his onto squares nesties.  The card has been folded back on itself and I have added a home-made stick pin tied with a chiffon ribbon.  The badge was from a scrapbook kit I had for christmas.  The beads for the stick pin were from my stash.  The sentiment is from Kanban and the papers are First Edition.

I must confess that I had to have a cupcake after colouring this one in............ so go on pop on over to either Teddy Bo Towers or to Digital Delights and find yourself a new favourite, or you could recyle an old one.  All the DT are waiting to see what you come up with ........ who knows we may even discover some new fantastic stamp which could become our favourite.

Hugs for now.
