<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been thinking for a while about the first blog I set up way back when I started on my cardmaking journey. It was meant to be my brand name for promoting me and my cards, but since I started Creatin' and Stampin' for myself as an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I have very much neglected my old blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I would like to invite you to join me back at <i><a href="http://lizyshouseofcards.blogspot.co.uk/">Lizy's House of Cards</a></i> where I will be posting all my projects from now on. That way I can put all my efforts in one place and take back my brand name! I have also renovated my blog to give it a fresh new look, using Stampin' Up!'s fabulous MDS program, so do let me know what you think!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have transferred all my blog posts from this blog to my 'new' one so don't worry, all the inspiration will still be available for you to see! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can't wait to see you there!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning my lovely followers!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am sorry for having been AWOL for a few days...apart from it being half term, towards the end of the week I got some sort of a virus and it knocked me sideways a bit and apart from the things I have to do, I haven't felt much like doing anything! I am feeling a whole lot more like myself now though, so I have a lovely set of Easter cards to show you...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXW9J16Mp9rOaAey0JITuDlZIWc0q7lQSx6CSeQZj8zQi88L1g6jBMCY3AP1-QyXx4EEL9v-qgZGaAIbJ_a41M7kun_KdhmHTCnm2HgCXTT7k5ZRNn2hY0UARD0oYL-mM7KI-1vh0_kt4/s1600/IMG_4346.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXW9J16Mp9rOaAey0JITuDlZIWc0q7lQSx6CSeQZj8zQi88L1g6jBMCY3AP1-QyXx4EEL9v-qgZGaAIbJ_a41M7kun_KdhmHTCnm2HgCXTT7k5ZRNn2hY0UARD0oYL-mM7KI-1vh0_kt4/s1600/IMG_4346.png" height="187" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have used one of the lovely stamp sets from the Spring/Summer catalogue, Blessed Easter, combined with the Trefoil Cross from the annual catalogue.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCxUnCT7C1EA1XaeY4QosoMan_4CWXfWdsw8Z7euiYNvImhqfjE01XP4UnFe3VSiVPBciQcDyEBTp5_Ckrd9Mj56XnL-85Hekc9Ch19bmALxuAR1GUJvicAlylEQNk2QpIUdn_M_dB0w/s1600/IMG_4343.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCxUnCT7C1EA1XaeY4QosoMan_4CWXfWdsw8Z7euiYNvImhqfjE01XP4UnFe3VSiVPBciQcDyEBTp5_Ckrd9Mj56XnL-85Hekc9Ch19bmALxuAR1GUJvicAlylEQNk2QpIUdn_M_dB0w/s1600/IMG_4343.png" height="400" width="313" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Blessed Easter stamp actually comes with gorgeous tulips as part of the stamp, which I will be showing you tomorrow, but for these cards I have only used the sentiment worked perfectly with the cross.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizU-snZQ0GTRQfiQgHx9kWeOnau9_L0cnmiEhanVd7QQKrQS5zGa9Yu1lrd-B8FZ2_oKdhBsnq7_wz_6nYvOmY7_qk9xUe4W0Li1aMGQELj6qMJnYEuqKCm-StT49hSyINbz0XnHh3kFg/s1600/IMG_4355.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizU-snZQ0GTRQfiQgHx9kWeOnau9_L0cnmiEhanVd7QQKrQS5zGa9Yu1lrd-B8FZ2_oKdhBsnq7_wz_6nYvOmY7_qk9xUe4W0Li1aMGQELj6qMJnYEuqKCm-StT49hSyINbz0XnHh3kFg/s1600/IMG_4355.png" height="265" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't it a pretty cross? I can see that I will be using it lots, not just for Easter but for Christening, Baptism, Confirmation etc. I created a frame around my sentiment using the Paper Piercing Essentials pack. I think it gives it a little bit more interest and focus don't you?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have a new challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches and this week it's a colour challenge. A nice bright, cheerful colour challenge!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Aren't these lovely colours? I immediately thought of spring, tulips and happiness! I hope my card translates that...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I used the lovely Vivid Vases stamp, new in the Spring/Summer catalogue. I liked this stamp the first time I saw it. I coloured it very simply using my Stampin' Write Markers. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Can you see the shine on the vases? I added some Crystal Effects as I thought it would give them some realism. The strip of Gingham Garden Washi gives the card I little 'zing' don't you think?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How are you? We had a fun day at Knowsley Safari Park yesterday, me playing with my new camera and Keiran and his cousin Sophie being ever willing subjects! Then Sophie stayed over so all in all a fun day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I used Perfect Blend for my card and printed it twice, once with plain cups and once after adding some DSP into the band across the cups. I cut the bands out and glued using Tombow. The sentiment was printed directly onto the Naturals White card blank and I used a piece of the packaging from my Stampin' Up! parcels as the background...kind of looks like a coffee bean bag doesn't it?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you had a good weekend? I had a very productive one, designing 4 wedding invitations, a birthday card and an inspiration tin! So today I'm going to show you the latter one as the birthday one needs to arrive with it's recipient before I share!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I up-cycled a baby milk tin using some of the gorgeous free Sale-a-Bration papers, the free Banner Blast stamps and matching punch and the Spiral Flower Originals die.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I added a circle of paper to the top of the tin and topped it with my rolled roses.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnrnsbHheOo0rikeBuQemQKkJ68gI_4zSnesdeyNckEWTniLTo0L_KBtsp3auhz3C8je_5Uqu2lGtP3jPlsKRajs_ypqKIj-PaEBM_6n-ziGhLS0EXl4RYLo7z3YQdGVy5r6LQ2Om9DxI/s1600/P1080216.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnrnsbHheOo0rikeBuQemQKkJ68gI_4zSnesdeyNckEWTniLTo0L_KBtsp3auhz3C8je_5Uqu2lGtP3jPlsKRajs_ypqKIj-PaEBM_6n-ziGhLS0EXl4RYLo7z3YQdGVy5r6LQ2Om9DxI/s1600/P1080216.png" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decorated the peg with some DSP paper and added some punched notelets, using the Artisan Label punch, for writing an inspirational message on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The idea behind my tin is every time something good happens to you, you write a little note about it and pop it in the tin. Then when you're feeling a little down, or need a pick me up, you open it and hopefully the little notes will remind you that life is actually not as bad as you think!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another take on the tin is as a baby memory tin, except that it could be for 'Baby's Firsts'...first tooth, first word, first steps etc. I plan to make a few of those in the not too distant future!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I promised you a Valentine card this weekend, and so here it is!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a couple of my new items on this card... the new embossing folder, and the En Francais Background stamp. I do love that stamp...it's so soft and romantic looking...I have no idea why I didn't get it before!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As this card was for a man I thought the embossing would take the femininity away from the card a little, so I used the new Arrows EF for this. I used hearts from the Hearts a Flutter set and heat embossed them in Silver Stampin' Emboss.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is a close up of the sentiment...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi and Happy Valentine's Day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's also my Dad's birthday today so I'm going to share the card I made for him...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have used the Wetlands stamp set again, while I still have it on loan from Jen! I sponged the background using Soft Sky and Wild Wasabi, then stamped the birds. The goose was stamped in Early Espresso and I sponged Chocolate Chip ink over it to make it look 'real'. I then cut it out to give some dimension and interest.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used my new Hardwood stamp for the background, stamping it with Sahara Sand onto Sahara Sand cardstock. I added some Crumb Cake Seam Binding across the middle and finished with my sentiment and a wooden button from the Designer Naturals buttons.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello hello!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How are you? I really hope you are safe and weathered last night's storm ok. Wasn't it vicious?! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's time for a new challenge over at CAS - Colours and Sketches and it's a sketch...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So here is what I came up with...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After being out of stock due to it's popularity my Hardwood stamp finally arrived this week so I couldn't resist having a play! Isn't it gorgeous?? I teamed it with the fab hostess set Nature's Hello and the complimentary Secret Garden set.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped two sets of leaves onto the card base and added another two die cut sets.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The great thing is that this set is compatible with the Secret Garden Framelits, so I cut the flower out with my Bigshot nice and easily!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have seen lots of pretty handmade home decor items around the net lately, so I decided to make something myself. I recently got the Spiral Flower Die so I thought I would make some rolled roses and see what happened....here is the result...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I must admit, I have used non SU! card for the roses as I was 'playing', but after this first attempt I think I will have a go with some of the gorgeous card we have!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made a heart frame by die cutting the two largest dies from the Hearts Collection Framelits, then I glued the flowers onto it along with some leaves which I punched from Core'dinations cardstock using the Bird Punch. I then attached a loop of Crochet Trim to hang it with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really enjoyed making this...it was something different and I think I mat make some for my stall for later this year! One brilliant thing with the Spiral Flower die is that you can cut lots of flowers at once, cutting down the time to make this...I managed to cut 8 at once!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello peeps!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I send out my Stampers 6 orders each month, I like to include a little something for them...a small gift and a card, both made by me. For this month the ladies have received this lovely bookmark, along with a card showcasing some of the free Sale-a-Bration items.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The beautiful papers are the Sweet Sorbet paper pack and I have teamed them with a stamped frame from the Your Lovely stamp set.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The little card also uses the Sweet Sorbet papers along with the accessories. I used the Scalloped Tag Topper punch to make the clasp on the card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm back from a fantastic week in Cambridge with all my fabby girlie friends! We had a really great time, even if I was completely plagued by a rotten cold! I am still suffering as I type this but it'll be gone soon, I'm sure!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, if you came by on Saturday during the Pinkies blog hop, you'll have seen the card I made using the Peachy Keen and On Film Framelit bundle, and I promised you a video on how to cut the camera out. (In case you didn't see it, it's <i><a href="http://creatinandstampin.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/pinkies-springsummer-bloghop.html">here</a></i>)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So here it is...I hope you find it useful!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my project for this blog hop, and I have chosen to use the fabulous Peachy Keen stamp set and On Film framelit bundle and one of the stamps from Happy Watercolor.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped the various elements in Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Soft Sky and Baked Brown Sugar. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The filmstrip, both arrows and the cute little camera are all from the On Film Framelits. I also cut out an extra 'lens' for the camera, popped it up on dimensionals and then covered with Crystal Effects to give a 3D glassy effect. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
I made this as a 'thank you' card as I plan to give it to a work colleague who has been giving me lessons on how to use the digital SLR he sold me and passing on his knowledge from his photography course!<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, if you have this bundle, you will know that the camera stamp and the camera framelit don't line up as they are both the same way round, meaning you need to cut the camera from the back </span><span style="font-size: large;">of the stamped image</span><span style="font-size: large;">, rather than the front, which as you can imagine is somewhat tricky! Well, not anymore!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have made a little video I made on how to cut it out, the <i>easy</i> way! And for those of you that haven't yet bought the bundle and may have been put off by this little quirk, now there's no excuse! I will be posting the video on Monday morning, so don't forget to come back and take a look!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know about you but I'm useless at remembering birthdays until it's too late, and when everyone now expects handmade cards that's no good! I saw a project somewhere a few weeks ago, no idea where though, and I totally loved it, so here is my take on it...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkn5VkW3yJVpyEp43kPxkhkX_mXj8ZsiDSHjInPZDmvr353AfYYyWC_nHzt-kYG-oOkQKm4Lg5TYfInF4oS8Rb2AznJ99H-Ls0uIK3vy-gD7OcohZueshW6CrZ72bF0WJNZiROJOhWMmA/s1600/P1080147.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkn5VkW3yJVpyEp43kPxkhkX_mXj8ZsiDSHjInPZDmvr353AfYYyWC_nHzt-kYG-oOkQKm4Lg5TYfInF4oS8Rb2AznJ99H-Ls0uIK3vy-gD7OcohZueshW6CrZ72bF0WJNZiROJOhWMmA/s1600/P1080147.png" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have used mainly Sale-a-Bration freebie items to make this. Free DSP, free coloured string, free Banner stamp and punch.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the Bigz Alphabet Framelits and some of the Bermuda Bay DSP and for the lettering and Petite Petals and Bitty Butterfly punches for the date tags. Each tag has the date and name of the birthday boy or girl on the front, and on the back I've put their year of birth, if known, to help remember 'big' birthdays.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have hung this on the door to my airing cupboard...it brightens the hallway and I can't possibly miss those important birthdays! (I hope!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Morning all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's time for our new challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches and this week it's a colour challenge.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My friend asked me to make a birthday card for her husband, but she had absolutely no theme for me to work with so I had complete free reign! So I borrowed the gorgeous stamp set Wetlands from Jen and here is what I made...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well today I am wishing my newest downline, Adrienne a very happy birthday! It's easy to remember as it's my birthday too! Not only do we share the same day, but we were also born the same year! Big one next year eh Adrienne? ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, in our honour, I have made a birthday card....</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't get any crafting done this weekend due to the fact that I was working and just generally didn't feel like doing much! So today I'm going to show you a gift I made for my friend for her birthday back in December.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This lovely little package has three sparkly nail varnishes in it and the little one has a pretty silver necklace in. You can find a tutorial for the smaller box <a href="http://creatinandstampin.blogspot.co.uk/p/my-video-tutorials.html">here</a> on my video tutorial page.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't have measurements for the nail varnish package I'm afraid as I made it so long ago, but you might find them on <a href="http://knallcrafting.blogspot.co.uk/">Paula's</a> blog as the idea came from a lovely gift she gave me at convention last year.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You could use any DSP for this project to make it perfect for any occasion. The acetate is part of this lovely paper stack...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's called Quatrefancy and you can buy it direct from my online store by clicking on the picture.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for coming to say hi today...hopefully I will get chance to craft tonight so I have something new to show you tomorrow!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am posting this very quickly, again before work! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you may remember, I was designing wedding invitations, which obviously I can't show you yet, but I can show you one of the designs she didn't choose...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbFUWWkcDpRAlTkYzDY3ZAPM2XwBbt0n7LXnuMwGRYi5Ppkki_-Tn2_nqfj7dh33FQgKS52NAcV12uxC1mhEFHTp-0FusCmYne3dwF2Nrcd-6F5tr0DRw4t0PVwBREnKGQiQzr-CTDZk/s1600/P1080099.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbFUWWkcDpRAlTkYzDY3ZAPM2XwBbt0n7LXnuMwGRYi5Ppkki_-Tn2_nqfj7dh33FQgKS52NAcV12uxC1mhEFHTp-0FusCmYne3dwF2Nrcd-6F5tr0DRw4t0PVwBREnKGQiQzr-CTDZk/s1600/P1080099.png" height="400" width="291" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the very elegant Mr & Mrs stamp set which I stamped in Silver Encore then embossed in Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-uV75pVEHfsDKSswRV2onU4PIiw5kRfC2GF2lcEIB7QKNSQl_5FIgjJaXjDh3lb8_N9-YguDVgeoz3pVdB55CcQsLpDSYyyyUSaRBgK2dpM333fU5vHJDNtTxMiYB51vkqU6MDIB0wQ0/s1600/P1080100.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-uV75pVEHfsDKSswRV2onU4PIiw5kRfC2GF2lcEIB7QKNSQl_5FIgjJaXjDh3lb8_N9-YguDVgeoz3pVdB55CcQsLpDSYyyyUSaRBgK2dpM333fU5vHJDNtTxMiYB51vkqU6MDIB0wQ0/s1600/P1080100.png" height="158" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also White embossed a Flowering Flourish onto the front before adding my embossed panel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These are very elegant and could be made in many different colours to match the wedding colours.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm sure I will be back soon with the actual design...when I know they have been sent out!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm off now so have a fab, fun crafty/family Sunday!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a very quick post before I go to work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's Saturday which means there's a new challenge over at <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/happy-3rd-birthday-less-is-more.html">Less Is More</a>, and it's their 3rd birthday! And Mandi is back as a guest designer! How lovely to see her work again and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Less Is More!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This week they have gone with a rainbow theme. As soon as I saw this challenge I knew exactly what to do!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJGECr_kG1tNr4Qm8o1B4MpnRqEjiXYA7L3PFxQ4mmnXay6GFx2SozXVnRh7V6dVvypFdRTXuT6RsLgyB5LOJ0CjM8EjLVDSnXtQsQpbMBQMH18cs7byIeKiDAS_MOSHv3iQdKTClHbnU/s1600/P1080097.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJGECr_kG1tNr4Qm8o1B4MpnRqEjiXYA7L3PFxQ4mmnXay6GFx2SozXVnRh7V6dVvypFdRTXuT6RsLgyB5LOJ0CjM8EjLVDSnXtQsQpbMBQMH18cs7byIeKiDAS_MOSHv3iQdKTClHbnU/s1600/P1080097.png" height="400" width="276" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used Gorgeous Grunge, lots of different colours and the Beautiful Wings Embosslits folder. The butterflies were die cut from card I stamped with Gorgeous Grunge to give the a blotchy look.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My idea with this card was to make the butterflies look like they had lifted off the ink spots on the card...almost like they were flying away with stolen colour!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The colours I used are Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive and Elegant Eggplant.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am also entering this into the challenge at <a href="http://stampincelebrationblog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/scic-75.html">Stampin' Celebration</a> and this photo inspiration...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello! It's almost the weekend...yay!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Are you going to any parties this weekend? Maybe a masquerade party? No? Oh well neither am I but I do have a card I was commissioned to make for someone who did have a masquerade ball for her 30th birthday last week!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found these fabby masks, Last Minute Masks, on the My Digital Studio download page. I added them to my blank page, changed the colours, printed and there you go! I stamped and heat embossed the black one with Flowering Flourishes to give a lovely pattern and added some gems and feathers.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I sprayed the pink one with Silver Glimmer Spray and added lots of nail art gems from my stash and a feather.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used Silver Glimmer Paper and some retired DSP for the background. The sticks for the masks are cocktail sticks wrapped with ribbon.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I spent most of last night designing the inserts for a friend's wedding, which I have to say, I am extremely happy with...I hope Laura is just as happy! I'm sure I will be blogging them eventually!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, it's time for our new challenge this week at CAS - Colours and Sketches, and this week it's the double!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is what I call a very economical card...it only uses one stamp set! And it is a lovely new one from the Spring/Summer catalogue, called Peachy Keen.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped the heart once onto the card blank, then stamped again, cut it out and popped it up on Dimensionals, after stamping the sentiment across the middle. The arrows are stamped in Blushing Bride and Soft Sky.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After I had photographed the card, I decided it needed a little something else, so I added some nail gem pearls...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you been having fun looking through the new catalogues via the links in my sidebar? Aren't there some stunning things and fabulous project ideas?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have another card today, made using some of the new products, here it is...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJbKSSlje93HrcRu0gRf5llQyjG921PoiXT5eNlqwGxSHnRGBDeKVd5j7rQJ5pQgUxqlCocfQA3SMt8uX_pjKeuoBCBZAyA6Yz2GmDgplWIrbSqklel462NmoVShOaAjs0Kb4kNeBqDyI/s1600/P1080033.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJbKSSlje93HrcRu0gRf5llQyjG921PoiXT5eNlqwGxSHnRGBDeKVd5j7rQJ5pQgUxqlCocfQA3SMt8uX_pjKeuoBCBZAyA6Yz2GmDgplWIrbSqklel462NmoVShOaAjs0Kb4kNeBqDyI/s1600/P1080033.png" height="400" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have used Happy Watercolour for the poppy and I stamped it in Versamark, then heat embossed in White Stampin' Emboss, before rubbing Real Red on with a Sponge. I wiped the image once the ink had dried to remove the excess from the outlines. I then masked the poppy and washed soft sky ink over it using my Aqua Painters. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then cut out the panel with the poppy on and popped it into the die cut film strip from The On Film Framelits. Before adding these to the card blank, I stamped a background with the 'blotchy' stamp from Watercolour wonder and Soft Sky ink. I finished with the sentiment stamped in Real Red, after once stamping off to soften the effect.</span></div>

I</span><span style="font-size: large;">f you would like a paper copy of the catalogues, please contact me and I will be very happy to send you them out at a cost of £1.50 (inc. first class p&p). I always find that it is so much nicer to curl up with a cuppa, a biscuit, and leaf through a physical copy and mark off the items I want/need! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be back later with a card made using one of the stunning new Designer Series papers from the Spring/Summer catalogue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I used the lovely Language of Love stamp set, which I stamped in Real Red and Pink Pirouette. I then punched a little heart out of the Pink one, using the Small Heart Punch, and mounted it onto the red one before coating it with Crystal Effects. The 2 larger hearts are die cut from the Hearts Framelits and I used the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack to create the cut out for the ribbon. I finished with 3 dots of Dazzling Diamonds. </span></div>
