Time for presents

A little treat hides in this gift today made from a kraft bag which I've put through the Big Shot with the Cable Knit embossing folder.

It's finished with some Perfect Pine accessories!

And a quick notebook to remind you that it's last orders for the Stitched Shape Framelits!

Let's Celebrate

As there has been a lot of celebrating for exam results recently I thought I'd try a card to suit the occasion!  (apologies it isn't the best picture).

I've used a colour combo of Silver, Sweet Sugarplum and Soft Sky - partly to go with the sneak peek sequins and ribbon that are in the new catalogue!

I've also used Star Framelits and a sentiment from Confetti Celebration cut out with the Oval Layering Framelits.

New catalogue goes live on 1st September.

More Thoughtful Branches

I got a super 3D gift swap last week for my little chocolate box and I've used the same colours that Alison used for the picture frame I received for this birthday card:

Using the Thoughtful Branches again this card uses the colours Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant, Sweet Sugarplum, Old Olive & Soft Sky.

I am still loving this set and it is still currently only available until the end of August.

I have an order going in this week if you can't live without it!

Large Letters are here!

Well, the Large Letters made it!

Because I haven't done much scrapbooking I didn't think I needed the Large Letters Framelits and they are rather an investment (especially as they come with matching stamp set of course) but I've seen many tempting things and for their first outing I thought they would be ideal for this card!

I've used the idea that Julie Kettlewell showed as at OnStage again with the stamp set Confetti Celebration and embossed it with the Brick Wall folder.

Oval Layering Framelits are used for the red and yellow and I've stamped the letters and cut them out!

The colourway was chosen as a loose link to the Manchester United logo which features these colours.

A sprinkles shaker

Some products in the new catalogue are aimed at producing shaker cards, this is a little sample we made at On Stage:

The stamp set is Confetti Celebration and this little card uses the new Sprinkles punch with some sequins and a great new product - foam adhesive strips that make producing shaker cards a breeze.

Card and ink colours are Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point and Melon Mambo.

Yay!

This is a card I made for a swap at our Bloomin' Buds meeting this week, another Pinterest inspiration from here.

I've used a colour combo of Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo and Tip Top Taupe.

The main stamp set is called Playful Backgrounds, another useful background stamp I think.

The sentiment and star are in the set Confetti Celebration - the star of course matches a punch!

I will be putting in an order on 1st June for anyone that 'has' to have anything straight off the blocks - there will be endless other opportunities though.

Sneak peek of the week

This weeks sneak peek is completely stolen from a card that Julie Kettlewell showed us at OnStage in Telford recently.

I thought it was a fab idea.  Julie always has lovely ideas, if you don't already follow her blog it is here: http://juliesjapes.blogspot.co.uk

This card uses ALL the stamps in a new set called Confetti Celebration and is great for a mens card.  I've since seen one in more girly colours too so will try that another day.

Colours used are Smoky Slate and the new Emerald Envy and Dapper Denim and a bit of ink on the Brick Wall embossing folder.
