Happy Birthday

Welcome back :)

Here is a card I made for my other half Gem who's birthday it was yesterday. This is a card I have CASED from my Upline Victoria. I saw this on her blog and so needed to have a go at this.

This was made using the Reason to Smile stamp set, Veramark Ink and then White Embossing powder added and then using the heating tool warmed the powder. I added the "Happy Birthday" then using the colour matched pen have put a thin line around the flowers.

Hope you like the post.

Thanks

Cute kids card

Well, sorry for not blogging for a while have been so busy with work and planning my all day Christmas class!

I made this card this weekend for a friends daughter who was three on Sunday and just wanted to share it with you......

How you like it! It was simple to make using a number of circles punched from the DSP from Stampin Up.
Anyway that's it from me for now will hopefully be back tomorrow to share another creation :)

Well a quick post from me today,sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days we have a couple of new arrivals in our household :) two gorgeous guinea pigs. Both named after gold medal winners. Ainslie (after Ben Ainslie) and the other Bradley (after Wiggins)

Here they are in their run on the grass closely watched by Phoenix! Lol

So tonight I have had my monthly class with my ladies and what fun we had. Today we made a tea bag holder which contained 4 mini cards.

Also we made a couple of larger cards using the gorgeous Twitterpatted designer papers I so love them I have got to also order he fabrics that match :)

So it's off to plan for my next class which is my first all day class with the theme of Christmas, I know it seems so far away but not in crafting time!! It soon creeps up and not enough time to make all those cards and gifts!!

Wedding invitations

Well I have just finished and delivered my first order of wedding invitations. This was a order for 25 invitations.

The card base is made using crumb cake card and topped with very vanilla card stock stamped with crumb cake ink.

I love the texture of the two hearts on the front of the card.

Both the bride and groom were very happy with the completed invitations. I really enjoyed make these and pleased with the final outcome.

Stampin Up Convention Paris 2011

Well this was my first convention and boy did I love it :) spending time with the thing I love...... Crafting
First day began early as Memento Mall opened at 8am, so had to get there before then to get our convention bag and then get into the queue to go shopping.

Then it was straight into the first session. The room was amazing. With great ideas on the boards to inspire and also demos on stage from Shelli amongst others

And of cause plenty of swapping was done. It's great to get new ideas from other demos from the UK and both France and Germany.

Here is one of the displays that was in the room it's a mini garden made of paper.

Just to finish off here is a picture of my roomies for the weekend, my upline Victoria and my fellow Jelly member Tracy. Thanks for a great weekend ladies

European Stampin up convention

Well everyone I have been to Paris for the annual Stampin up convention and what a great time I had. I meet some lovely ladies and have a lot of new ideas from the swaps I received from the ladies. I saw Shelli demo some great products and ideas :) I saw my upline Victoria collect a selection of awards on stage at the awards dinner. Well done Victoria.

Also just want to share with you a picture of my cat Sophie whilst I was packing for Convention ...... I think she wanted to come and see Minnie with me lol

Baby girl

Well here is a couple of pictures first one is of a card I made for a friend who had recently had a baby girl first is the card and the second is a 'nappy cake'!

Wedding and christening cards

Following me publishing my wedding card on Facebook a friend asked if I could make both a wedding card and to match a christening card in light olive. So I set about designing the wedding card first....

Then set about designing the matching christening card. This was something I hadn't done before, matching cards but was very happy with the outcome :)

The end result was great and yes my friend loved them. So did the receiver of the cards

Christmas card class

Well I know what you are all thinking not Christmas already but hey as a crafter you have to start early,with so many lush papers to use and my personal favourite colour combo of cherry cobbler and old olive :)
Here are the pictures from my class on Thursday my ladies made 6 cards and decorated a paper bag.
