Sunday Stamps - Colour Challenge No 89 ...... meets Stampin Up UK Perfect .......

Hi everyone.

So that fortnight went by super quick.  I can't believe it's Sunday again and there is another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.

I am really honoured to be doing this month's guest designer spot, and want to thank everyone of you that has popped over to take a look at my blog.

I loved seeing everyone's creations in the last challenge and can't wait to see what you come up with for this one.

Anyway this week the challenge is a colour challenge;  It's number SSC89.

I loved this colour combination.

For those of you who don't use Stampin Up Products the colours are:

Plum, Lavender and Vanilla

For those of you, who like me use Stampin Up the colours are:

Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder and Very Vanilla

So for those of you who have popped in and out of my blog, you will know that I love 3d items, I also love flower arranging and a while back I learnt how to make wrist corsages.

So with that in mind I set to work, because if Mother Nature can do it then so can I.

So first I made the gift box.  Because you wouldn't not wrap this gift.  Its in Wisteria Wonder.

I stamped it using the Bordering Blooms stamp set.  How cute is that.

I also used the flower from Everything Eleanor.  I stamped the box in Wisteria Wonder.  Added a gift tae in Perfect Plum, punched with the Scallop Gift Tag Punch again stamped in Perfect Plum.

The flower on the box and in the centre of the corsage is very vanilla cardstock that has been distressed with both Perfect Plum and Wisteria Wonder ink.  I have added some Basic Jewels to give it a bit of sparkle.

The leaves and the flower are cut using the Flower Frenzy die.  I love this die.  

Lastly I hot glued the flower to the Cotton Ribbon, again from Stampin UP.

I hope you have enjoyed this project.  I just need an occasion to be able to wear this one now.  

If anyone would like one of these then please contact me.

But don't forget all Stampin UP supplies used can be purchased here

Anyone who spends £50 or more in my online shop today will receive a special gift direct from me.

Don't forget to pop over to Sunday Stamps and enter into this fortnight's colour challenge, I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Big Hugs

Here's mine.

I used the lovely Lost Lagoon cardstock and Pool Party.  How cute are those colours.

Added in some All is calm washi tape and then On Film Framelits to die cut my frame.

The image is from the hostess set Life's Adventure.  I coloured this up with my Blendabilities.

Frosted sequins ............

Morning Crunchies.

As promised today I have day 4 of the Letterpress week to show you.

Today is a very clean and simple card, but I think its really beautiful.

I have used the frame from the Letterpress set and stamped it in Night of Navy.  I have stamped the sentiment in Pool Part.  Don't you love the contrast.

I have added frosted sequins to the frame artwork to give it some sparkle.

The Base of the card is Night of Navy, with a Pool Party matt and then the whisper white stamped layer.

Tomorrow I will be showing you the last of my five designs.

But don't panic, theres lots more inspiration coming up.

Big hugs

Letterpress just for you ............... and new

Morning Crunchies.  How are you all?

Today is wet in Somerset, but I am staying in the craft room and keeping warm and dry.  

In today's Blog:

• Letterpress Day 3 - Just for you
• Weekly Deals

So as promised all week I am blogging about a recent class I did.  It was a huge success and all my ladies loved it.  I am running a second class of this later this week.

Here's the third card in the set using the lovely Letterpress Stamp Set. 

To start with I added ribbon to my first matt layer and adhered behind - so there are no horrid ends showing.  Added a ribbon bow in matching lost lagoon.  Then I matted and layered the whisper white cardstock,  and then a lost lagoon layer before adding a final white layer.  The top layer has been stamped with Pear pizzazz, and Pool Party.  I then stamped and punched the sentiment - again from the Letterpress set.  

I will be making this card in different colours as it so cute. I saw a similar design on Pinterest by Think Pink, but I have changed it up a bit.  Love it.

Look at all the lovely goodies.  Ribbon, washi tape and so so much more.  Not got these lovely Word Bubble Framelits. They are so awesome to use.  Remember this one.

The sentiments in these were cut with those framelits.  A must for great layering.  

Don't forget all these discounted prices are only available for 1 week.  So hurry and get yours before the price goes back up.

See you tomorrow.

Thanks again to everyone that continues to order both in person and on-line.  Your continued support means so much.

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.  

Rainbow smiles with Stampin up products

Hi guys.  Had a lovely week Stampin Up wise.  Got to go and spend time with some lovely young ladies at Rainbows on Monday

We made lovely cards using gorgeous grunge, mixed bunch and the scallop tag topper.  Oh and not forgetting Around array. Such a great stamp set.

Here's the girls and their creations.

As you can see they were really chuffed with their makes.

So fifteen minutes later it was the turn of the guides.

It's hard to see but the made cards and super cute curvy keep sakes boxes.

Great fun.

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.
