My final Sunday .............

over at Sunday Stamps.  I am of course using Stampin UP products in this challenge.

I have loved being a guest designer this month.  Thanks again to Holly and everyone else for making me feel so welcome.

I would love to come back again.

Anyway here's the final challenge for November ........ can you believe it, in less then 1 month Christmas will have been and gone and we will be looking forward to 2015.  

Anyway with that in mind ...... and the fact that you may be Christmas'd out I focused my colours for this sketch on Autumn.

Here's the sketch

Its challenge SSC 90

Isn't this just a great sketch.  Now I love being able to create layers, so this was perfect.

Firstly tho, I chose my colours ........ for this card I have used Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie.  Not normally my colours but I used the Colour Coach to challenge myself even more.

Firstly I stamped the images in Chocolate Chip and Real Red, using the Bordering Blooms Stamp Set.

Then using the Banner Punch I cut the strips into banners.

Before matting and layering onto the cardstock.

I loved this effect so much I even put them inside.  Isn't it nice to be able to decorate the inside to match the front.  Makes everything just that little bit more special.

As always all the products used today can be purchased in my online shop.

So pop over to Sunday Stamps and enter into this fortnight's challenge.  I will be popping over to check out everyone's entries.

Don't forget to order your supplies today, because for the last time this month I am giving a free gift to everyone who places an online order of £50 or more today.

#Beautiful Bunch gets journaled ......

Hi everyone.

I hope that you are all well.  

CHRISTMAS FAYRE AT J24 - BRIDGWATER

Firstly can I say how lovely it was to meet so many of you at Bridgwater and what a great day was had.  My stand was positioned just perfectly and it was lovely to have so many of you join in the make and takes.  

It was lovely chatting with you all.  

SATURDAY'S PRIVATE CLASS

On Saturday I hosted a private class for 7 ladies at my home.  We used the gorgeous #White Christmas stamp set and created some lovely cards.  Thank you once again for booking the class and I am looking forward to next time.

#BEAUTIFUL BUNCH 

Whilst getting everything ready for the Craft fayres I got out one of my favourite stamp sets and set to work.  I actually created 10 journals, all in different colours.  And each had a greetings card made to match.

I loved doing these and used embossing, and stamping and punching and ribbon and sparkle and so much more.  Great fun to do.

In this example I have used the lovely Bermuda Bay.  I have matted cardstock and DSP from the DSP Stack, punched out a heart border, added a doily and then my flower

Here's a close up ...... I have added glitter to the button, after colouring it with my blendies.

Here's the side view.  

Don't you think its cute.

I have these for sale and am able to post anywhere in the uk.

If you would like one please contact me.  They are £6 plus postage and include a matching card, which I will show you tomorrow.

Hi guys.

How are you all today.  I can't believe its Wendesday today.  I have been looking forward to today for about a week.

Why?

Well, I now live in Somerset, but I used to live in Tintagel in Cornwall and I miss lots of my friends, and once a month or so we get together for a girlie day of chat, cake and coffee.  What could be nicer.
I know I am having a great day.  I hope you are too.

GORGEOUS GRUNGY FLOWERS

Yesterday I showed you a lovely card using the beautiful bunch stamp set.  I love this set.  But one of my other loves is gorgeous grunge.  I love love love this one.

It creates amazing backgrounds for all types of projects and goes beautifully with the flowers in today's stamp set.

How cute is that.  I have stamped the images from gorgeous grunge straight onto the card base, using real red, crumb cake and pear pizzazz.  Beautiful colours.  Adore them.

I used the tag topper punch (Scallop) to punch out my tag before stamping in real red with the Thank U from A Round Array.  Next I edged my tag with real red ink using a sponge dauber.

Adding a little ribbon at the top of the tag and attaching to my card base using dimensionals.

I punched one flower out of pear pizzazz and stamped another in real red, before punching out.  I gave them some dimension by running over them with my bone folder, before added a pearl in the centre of the flower.  I layered them up and attached to the tag.  Cute don't you think.

So two days, and two cards using the same feature stamp set.

Who's for chocolate crumbs............

Hi guys,

Todays issue from Stampin UP Uk Demonstrator Lisa Cornwall.

Firstly sorry I did not post yesterday, but unfortunately I woke to up a message from someone that can be called nothing short of nasty.  It kind of upset me and I did not want that to come through in my post.  Anyway today the sun is shining so here goes:

IN TODAYS POST:

• Facebook question
• Todays card - Chocolate Crumb

Facebook Question

I don't know about you but I love the fact that I can order from Stampin UP Uk 24/7 every week of the year.  I also love the huge variety of colours in their range.  Did you know that you can shop with me 24/7 every week of the year.  Simply click on the Shop with me button in the sidebar.

I am a member of lots of groups on Facebook and one of the questions that keeps being asked is do you match your papers to your colours or your colours to your papers?

I am lucky enough that I can do either.

Why?

Because Stampin Up and Crunchie Crafts make it easy.  Stampin Up! have everything co-ordinated.  They take the hassle out of choosing my favourite paper, but using colours I don't particularly like, or using my favourite colours and trying to match to a paper stack.

Its so simple.

And talking of papers, did you know that becoming a member of Stampin UP! this month gives you six months free of designer series papers.  Yes, one pack per month. Thats £9.95 worth of pretty papers of your choice free every month for six months.  Awesome.

How do you get it?

Simple ......... join my team, either as a hobby demonstrator who just wants to purchase craft products for themselves, or as demonstrator that wants to do a bit more.  There is no pressure, the choice is entirely yours.  It costs £99 and you get £130 of goods.  Thats £31 free plus the free papers a total amount of £189.70 for just £99.  Awesome.

CHOCOLATE CRUMB

I am currently dieting........... I would like to loose a few pounds so that my new dresses for Convention look awesome and also so that my man is proud of me.

With that thought in mind it is never a good time to start using colours like Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake.  Ooooh the thoughts of all that yumminess.

Anyway I managed to get through it ........... and didn't eat anything I shouldn't but I am so loving the result.

I pulled out one of my new favourites for this card - the beautiful bunch stamp set and matching punch.  I love this flower its just too cute.

I cut an A4 sheet in half (Portrait) and folded to give my card base.  Next I cut a matting layer 1/4" smaller.  I distressed the edge of this layer with chocolate chip ink on a sponge.

Next I stamped the crumb cake cardstock all over with Chocolate chip ink using the flower from the set.

I then stamped one more and punched out, before curving it using my bone folder to give some dimension.

Lastly I added a basic jewel to the middle of the flower and used a dimensional to pop it on the card,

before adding the Thank You sentiment which is from the Something to Say stamp set.  This has been punched out using the modern label punch.  Again the edge of the sentiment has been sponged to make it pop.

I hope you love this card and set as much as I do.

Take care and thanks for stopping by.
