Hello to all my lovely Crunchie readers out there.

How are you all.  Its lovely to see you again today.

ELEANORE GETS CHATTY

This is a stamp set that I have resisted.  Its been around for ages and I wasn't sure about how much I would use it.  Oh boy was I wrong.  It just speaks to me.  I adore it.  There are so many stamps in it and I can't wait to show them to you.

Today I have combined it with the something to say stamp set - and Eleanor is saying Thank you.

I have again used one of my favourite colour combos - Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake.  (Sorry the lighting was rubbish)

As you can see I have used the Thank You from the "Something to Say" stamp set and punched it out with the Modern Label punch.

I used the gorgeous swirl from the Everything Eleanore stamp set in chocolate chip.  

I have cut a matt to go on my card, sponged with chocolate chip and then stuck down using Tombow glue.  (This is the best glue ever - no warping, amazing)

Using chocolate chip cardstock I punched out three flowers from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack and shaped.  Then added a pearl to each.  Super easy, super effective.

A gorgeous card for my gorgeous customers.

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.  

We've got a wedding to go to ......... in a garden and its raining :-(

Morning lovelies.  How are you all today?  I hope that wherever you are today the sun is shining and you are having a great day.

But unfortunately its raining here and a close family friend is getting married today, in her garden with the reception and after party (As my son put it) in the garden as well.

It looked so pretty in the sun yesterday ....... but I am sure they will be having a lovely time.

So I wanted to make them something special

Out came the blendabilties and the blended bloom stamp.  Out came the doilies and some ribbon.

A little bit of cardstock and some matching DSP and hey presto this is what you get.

The base is Crumb cake with a piece of Designer Series Paper Crumb Cake paper layered onto it.

I added the ribbon and then the doily.  How cute.

Lastly that gorgeous double bow ....... the bow is cherry cobbler seam binding.  Such a gorgeous ribbon to work with.

I stamped the flower twice and coloured each one before using them to create these gorgeous layers.

I wish Flora and Olly a wonderful life together and am looking forward to helping them celebrate later.

A bag of loveliness .......... says something the Stampin Up way.

Morning everyone. I am here with some more inspiration for you using the lovely Stampin Up products.

In today's post

• A bag of loveliness
• Greetings for everyone
• Its been three years ......

A bag of loveliness

Earlier in the year I went to Stampin Up Regional training, and had an absolute blast.  Met up with all my lovely team mates and friends from other Stampin Up teams from all over the UK.  It was amazing.

During the day we got to try lots of new products, play and experience them just like you do as customers.  We also got to do a make and take, designed by the lovely Julie, just like you guys do when you have an in-house workshop.  It was great fun.

So for this month's class I decided to alter that make and take slightly, but to still use the basic concept.

Here's what we came up with.  Its using Say Something stamps combined with the Itty Bitty Punches and the artisan label punch, and love lace embossing folders.

So how did I get the colours?  Well I decided to step out of my comfort zone and used the colour coach to choose my first colour.  This was crushed curry. 

The base of the bag and the notelets is Crumb Cake.  I love this colour.

I teamed the crushed curry with pumpkin Pie as well.

Added in some very vanilla embossed card fronts

and stamped and punched

to create 5 notelets with matching envelopes 

perfect for Thank you's, birthdays or any other occasion.

This is all from one stamp set and a set of matching punches.  

How cute are they?  

Do you want to be able to create these?  Yes, If you would like to purchase the class by post, please email or call me and I can arrange to do that.  In the class kit you get everything you need to make these lovely cards.

Free Greetings 

You know you could recreate my class project using the fantastic free stamp set that we have on offer at the moment.

Its got lovely sayings, something for everyone and every special event of the year.  Giving thanks, telling someone they are special, and some of the ones that are just timeless and for any thing.  You know those days when you know someone needs a lift and a hand made card is just the thing.

So remember to get this set all you need to do is host a party/workshop where the orders total £200/€300 or place a single order yourself of the same amount.  

Whats even better is you also get the normal hostess benefits as well, so its win win.  You get extra just for saying YES to a party or placing an order.

To order online simply click SHOP WITH ME in the top left hand corner. 

To book a party or workshop, if you live in Devon, Somerset, Dorset or Cornwall then please email or call me.  All details can be found at the top of the blog.

As I said yesterday, I recently realised I have been blogging three years.  That's quite a long time and I wanted to share and celebrate with you.

From tomorrow there will be lots of special offers coming your way, but you need to check back every day to see what they are and how you get them.  

Ok.  Right, I'm so excited and so looking forward to seeing you guys tomorrow.

Hope you enjoyed today's make.

Thanks for stopping by.

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.

Here you go:

So as you can see, if you love to craft and want to be able to get your products with 20% discount everytime, but would like to get 50% extra free to increase your stash, then now is the perfect time to join.  Spend £99 and get £150 of goods.  This is goods of your choice.  I think that is pretty amazing, and super super cool.
