Good Morning everyone!

You may notice my blog is looking a little different this morning. I have been playing with a new program to design blog templates and this is what I came up with last night and I do hope you like what I’ve done. I was up until the wee hours tweaking it and would appreciate your thoughts and comments on the new look.

Speaking of thoughts …..

Here’s a new card I made recently which is a case of a card from the Idea Book & Catalogue using the lovely Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.

This card is a very soft elegant card and really could be used for any occasion – not just a sympathy or caring card.  Just change the sentiment and you’re set.

Recipe:

Stamps: Thoughts and Prayers, Frames with a Flourish
Inks: Versamark, Whisper White Craft Ink, So Saffron, Close to Cocoa
Paper: Kraft, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Sage Shadow, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Stamp a majig, Stampin Pastels, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals

I do hope you like this card as much as I do and this just shows that our Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalogue really is more than ‘just a catalogue’ as it has over 300 samples, tips and ideas throughout the book – so much more value than buying a stamping magazine which is full of advertisements!

If you dont have your own copy then contact me today to get your copy for just $10.00.

Now dont forget to pop back tomorrow for the ESAD-SU blog hop – this is the second blog hop to introduce you to the gorgeous new stamps and products included in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.

Diva Sketch Saturday

5 December, 2009 7 Comments

Here we are again at another Saturday and that means another Sketch Challenge. Mine is coming a little late as my dear husband decided we needed to go Christmas Shopping – ugh 3 weeks before Christmas and its not pretty!

Here is this week’s sketch …. DSC60

An interesting one to say the least! I thought it was upside down so I turned it around and made this card …

I wanted a bit of a manly card and thinks this fits the bill.

I love the shells of Seaside and made a collage of them for the main image then stamped the greeting from God’s Blessings over the top in a darker colour.

DSC60The shells on the very vanilla piece are done in Creamy Caramel after being stamped off first. The greeting is stamped in Chocolate Chip.

I’ve then taken the little shell and inked it up in versamark and then Chocolate Chip and embossed it so it has a shiny look to it. Cut it out and then adhered it with stampin dimensionals.

Instead of affixing the stripes on the base like the sketch indicates I’ve just stamped the shells in two lines in versamark.

Due to the versamark ink being faint I used my Stampin’ Pastels to bring out the colour of the shells on the base card.

I do hope you like this card – it was a quick and easy one to make and one you could use for a sympathy card or to lift or encourage someone or just let them know you care!

Dont forget to stop by the Utah Divas International Blog to see what the other ladies have done!

Soft Wheelin

23 September, 2008 4 Comments

September is the ‘Free Wheelin’ month with Stampin’ Up!®. I just love being with Stampin’ Up! as they always give us great promotions to spoil our customers with.

The Free Wheelin promotion has been great to get me to using the wheels again – they sit in their boxes usually and when I noticed them I think yeah I should use those more!

Stampin’ Up have pre-selected six wonderful stamp sets for you to choose from for this promotion. When you buy one of the pre-selected sets you will get the co-ordinating Jumbo wheel for free. That’s a saving of $15.95! How sweet is that?? Here is a list of the stamp sets and jumbo wheels for this promotion.

Lately I’ve had a few friends who have lost someone dear to them or who are going through very trying times with terminally ill friends or family. I love the verses in the God’s Blessing set one of which i used on this card. They say just enough without it being too ‘soppy’.

This is a card I made for yesterday’s demonstration. It uses the Carte Postale stamp set and the Leaves a’ la Carte Jumbo wheel.

I have used the wheel to make the background on the base card however in this photo you cant see it too well. I love putting soft colours with chocolate chip or cocoa.

I have also added a half pearl from the pretties kit to give a soft/elegant feel to this card. This image shows you a close up of the flower and how i’ve used the pearl for the centre and flicked up the petals of the flower.

I love getting out and sharing my passion for stamping and creating cards and gifts so if you’d like to see how this card was made – and how easy it is to make then email or ring me today to book your demonstration in!

October is fully booked and November is filling up fast so you’d better be quick!

Pop back tomorrow to see what I made with the Priceless Bundle!
