I was commissioned to make a silver anniversary card, so while I was doing that I cut out 2 lots of card stock so I could make use of the stamps and inks I had out.  This uses quite a few different stamps sets, some current some now unavailable.  

You may recognise the format from previous cards.  I find it so effective and simple to do, and with the range of colours that Stampin' Up! have it's easy to change the feel of a card by choosing a different palette.

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!

Keyring magic!

Made this keyring using various stamps, Stazon ink and shrink plastic.  Don't forget to punch a hole in the plastic before you heat it, the large hole of the Cropadile is perfect.  

I made a box for it to go in, and covered it with a strip of the gorgeous paper available with ther Saleabration offer, and made a flower with the Blossom Party Die.  If you look closely you can see the flower is edged with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.

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!
