Perfect Pennants

 

Here is a Make and Take we are creating at a party this week. The card on the left is one I made at Monica's training day. Both combine Perfect Pennants with the Sale-a-bration set, Banner Blast. A lovely way of combining all the In-Colours too! I'm really looking forward to this Stampin' Up party, but will have to avoid the nibbles...

Pink & Black

 

I love this colour combination! This is my entry for NAC#76 which is a colour challenge this week - Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla and Basic Black. I have used one of the stamps from Flower Shop and the sentiment is from Regarding Dahlias. I hope you have had a lovely weekend - April x 

Workshop Photos

I had such a lovely time at last week's Flower Shop workshop - thank you to everyone who attended. Here are some photos of what we made. I love all the variations of cards that are created. It was a great evening.

I love the combination of Flower Shop stamps with Gingham Garden DSP. Very bright! Just what you want with the grey weather outside.

 

Here is Lou's gorgeous variation of the gift box, made with the Envelope Punch Board. So pretty!

 Here is an action shot of the 'Black Magic' technique. Love the half eaten biscuit!

Here is a lovely example of the finished card made with this technique.

 

Here is one of those rare quiet moments when everyone is absorbed in creating...

 

And finally some cat shaming. The sign would read, 'I sat on the card that Ruth had spent ages on. It had Dazzling Details on it. I transferred the glitter to my bottom and smudged all the ink. Ruth had to return the next day to re-make the card. I love to help at workshops'.

 

Sketch Challenge

 

Here is my entry for the NAC#75. The central stamped image is from Peaceful Petals. I embossed the image with clear embossing powder and sponged Pool Party on top. The DSP is from the Fresh Prints stack and the cardstock used is Perfect Plum. I've added some silver glimmer paper on the butterflies. I hope you like it!

A Colour Challenge

 

Here is my card for the NAC#74 using a colour combination of Crisp Canteloupe, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana. The Eiffel Tower stamp comes from the Follow My Heart set and the DSP is one of the papers from the Sweet Sorbet Sale-a-bration pack. I have also used a sentiment and two Bermuda Bay banners from the Good As Gold Simply Sent kit - another free item available with orders of £45. The card is finished off with a few rhinestones and some Crisp Canteloupe Ruffle Stretch Trim - I hope you like it!

Sale-a-bration is here!

 

My favourite time of the Stampin' Up calendar is here! There is a huge variety of stunning stamps, designer series paper and embellishments that you can choose a FREE item from, with every order of £45.

 And if that isn't enough excitement for one day, the new spring/summer catalogue also launches today with lots of amazing new products. My wish list is as long as my arm! Please contact me if you would like to place an order.
