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.

A little decoration??????

Hi guys

Are you one of those people who always want to add that wonderful finishing touch to any gifts.  You have wrapped them perfectly, but you feel that a flat gift tag is just not good enough .........

Well here's the answer, whether it's Xmas, birthdays, christenings etc etc this tag will fit the bill perfectly.

I first found it on Pinterest here and fell in love with it.

I was also asked to do a 5 minute WOW at regional training and decided that this was perfect.

Here's the gorgeous item:

Closed Tag

Open tag


To make this gorgeous tag I used Whispher White cardstock, Crisp Canteloupe card stock, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink Pad, Blushing Bride ribbon and the Happy Day stamp set.

I have used this tag lots and it has always had the wow factor.

If you're local to me and would like to hold a workshop in your home, why not email or call me to book and we could incorporate this into your workshop.

I can supply all items for you to make this delightful project, just give me a call or drop me an email.

Elegant Butterfly Shadow Frame Card

Hi guys,

Wow what a week its been.  Lots of stuff going on with the kids.  Congrats first to my eldest who passed all her GCSE's and has got a brilliant place at college.  Love ya kid. xx


Anyway todays card is one I have CASE'd from Pinterest.  I saw it and fell in love with it.  But wanted to add my own twist to it slightly.  The original card is by Frenchie.  You can see her Fun  Frame Card by clicking this link .........  Fun Frame Card

So this is what I came up with


I  have used the gorgeous Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder  (130917) on whisper white card stock.  The frame was made using the stunning Venetian Romance (130144) Designer Papers.  The sentiment was stamped using Costal Cabanna inks., as was the Papillion Potpouri Butterflies.  To finish off I used some ruffled ribbon and pearls.

I just love the crisp colours of this card and the added dimension of the folded frame.

Thanks for inspiring me Frenchie.

Hugs

Have a crafty day.

Lisa
