A Breath of Spring!

Good afternoon!

Sorry I've been a little absent...I just have been busy and a little under the weather again. But I feel much better now, so here is a little card I have just made to show you using some new stash!

I am very excited because the new Spring/Summer catalogue is almost out and nothing makes a crafter feel more excited than new goodies!

So here is the card...

I have used the new Honeycomb embossing folder, from the Spring/Summer catalogue, and the tiny flower stamp is part of a Sale-A-Bration set, free when you spend £45!! How awesome is that?! The larger flower across the centre of the card is from the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set from the Christmas catalogue...it's your last chance to get your hands on this gorgeous set as the catalogue finishes at the end of January.

A closer look...

The sentiment is part of a retired hostess set and I cut it out using Word Window.

Supplies used;

Cardstock - Whisper White, Certainly Celery, So Saffron

Markers - So Saffron, Certainly Celery

Stamps - Madison Avenue (SAB), Happiest Birthday Wishes, Ornament Keepsakes.

Embossing Folder - Honeycomb

Season's Greetings...Christmas card #2!

Hey there!

Have you just been over on my other blog? Thought I might have seen you there! Welcome to here! 

I have another Christmas card to show you tonight....that's #2 for 2013...best get a move on eh?! ;)

This was very simple stamped by colouring in the stamp with my Stampin' Write Markers before stamping...I love doing this! I think it may even be my favourite stamping technique! 

I then mounted the image panel onto Island Indigo then Real Red cardstock. Then onto my Whisper White card bas and there it is! Oh and I finished with a little glitter...wouldn't be Christmas without glitter would it now?

I was dubious about the colours when I saw them on the Merry Monday challenge, especially for a Christmas card, but I love them with this stamp...they work so well don't you think?

Spot The Stamp Set - Forever Young

Hello!

Over at Still Addinktive they're having a Spot The Stamp Set party! The idea is that you link any creations you have made using the chosen Stampin' Up! stamp set, and if you see any on t'internet, you're invited to ask the creator to link their creations too!

This time the stamp set is Forever Young.

So not only have I made a card specifically for this, but I am going to link up a couple of others I have made in the past. So here is today's card...

I do love this clock, but I have never used it, would you believe?? I stamped it direct onto my card blank, then stamped again and cut out the main part of the clock and decoupaged it. I scored a line down each side of the image to follow a sketch challenge at Fab Friday. I also added a black pearl to the centre. I stamp my sentiment, from Petite Pairs, directly onto my black ribbon...I love how that looks!

I am also entering this into Less Is More's black, white and a hint of another colour, and Simon Says Stamp's Black, White and a splash of colour...spotted the hint of colour?

Here it is...

It really is a 'hint' this time too! I love these tiny nail art pearls! (they are Pool Party in colour)

I have made my card using this simple sketch from Fab Friday as my inspiration...

So if you have anything you have made using the stamp set, new or old, go show it off! :)

Here are the links to my other cards using this gorgeous set...
