Is the name of the beautiful Designer Series Paper I have used for the gift bag and card below.

If you like elegant design with a hint of the shabby and the insides of old book covers then these papers are for you.  As with all Stampin Up paper, the thickness is sturdy enough to make items such as gift bags, and being double sided you have lots of choice of patterns.

It was my Mother in law's birthday last month and I had bought a mother of pearl necklace for her a few months ago.  I wanted the packaging to be a little bit special. So this is what I made...

Another couple of cards.  I can see myself using this set for men's cards - especially with more nature inspired colours.

Recieved this from my Stampin Up mummy today, thank you Claire!

The purpose of the award is that each recipient has a small blog (less than 200 followers). They in turn nominate five other recipients, each of whom has a blog with less than 200 followers.

Leibster is from the German and means "dearest" and the award is passed to people who have inspired and motivated others.

You are Loved, and much more...

I just wanted to show you the versatility of one of the beautiful sets in the mini catalogue.

Although it has a "love" theme, it is very versatile, and can be used for other occasions.

Here is a birthday card using squares cut from the heart motif.

Remember if you spend over £45 you can choose one FREE gift from the Saleabration catalogue, to see it click >here<
