Using up those papers!

I'm as guilty as any other paper crafter for hoarding those beautiful papers and not getting round to using them... but no more!

I decided to get chopping and punching and sticking, and this is what I came up with.

The papers are from the Playful Palette DSP stack, which comes in a 6x6 format, perfect for card making, and for square cards which I am addicted to making at the moment!

I also filmed some of the process of YouTube live.

Do follow me on there if you would like to join the live fun!

{Mini Christmas Wreath}

Hi everyone, oops I am a day late with this post.
Hope you don't mind, yesterday I was out with my family enjoying the Good Friday break and spending time with friends.

Here is a little Christmassy project for you.  Of course you could use it for lots of other occasions.

-{PCS October}-

This is the project I made with the template from the October edition of Paper Crafter's Sampler.

To have a look at some sneak peaks and to buy the edition click {here}

The template was to make a "Ghouls hangout", well you may know me by now, I like to play with Mel's templates to suit me, so I made this Christmas gift bag.

I used some of the lovely new tulle that's available in the Winter mini.

Made this 3D card with the lollipop template which is in the July edition of Paper Crafters Sampler which can be found {here}.

Who doesn't enjoy the exuberant colors of summertime?   Those radiant colors that enhance our fun in the sun. 

The July 2012 Sampler celebrates the brillant array of summer colors.  Looking for a way to bring summer into your home without the heat, check out the "Summer Spectrum" issue.

The small flowers were wired with little pearl centres.

Here are some more grey cards.

I've beeen experimenting with rolled and folded flowers.

The little flowers below were made using the "eyes" from the owl punch.

Come back tomorrow as I'll be taking part in a blog hop featuring products from the Summer Mini catalogue which is coming out tomorrow!

Loving the Basic Grey at the moment.  Have you noticed?

Found this lovely card  >here < by Monica, and was so inspired I got playing.

I stamped some flowers from the Green House Garden stamp set, they were a bit too large for the effect I wanted, so I cut a spiral into them and rolled them up.

I think this is the first time I have inked up this stamp from the Green House Garden set, I completely bypassed it! Will be using it a lot more now!

Can you see the little green flowers have a slight suede texture?  By scrunching and roughing the flower up (punched from cardstock), you can then separate the layers, so not only do you get 2 for the price of 1, but a lovely texture.

Lots to catch up on!

Hi everyone, Happy New Year!

Sorry I have been so quiet in blog land, it's been a pretty hectic few weeks.  Leading up to Christmas there was all the concerts and Christmas events with the children to attend and organise, and crafts to make for stalls that I had.

However, there's lots of exciting news in Stampin' Up! land.  The new mini catalogue is released tomorrow!  If you would like to get your hands on a paper copy, please contact me.  Tomorrow I will put up the link for you to see it on line.  Also, in three weeks we enter the Saleabration period!  There are some beautiful products up for grabs for FREE when you spend £45 on anything in the current Ideabook and Catalogue AND the new mini catalogue.

Here is a card using some of the new products coming out soon.

See the blue roses?  I made them using my scallop circle punch!  And are you sometimes glad of the little accidents that can happen while crafting? By accident I got glue on one of the roses, so I dabbed a few more spots and threw glitter on them!
