Beautiful Girl

Having some time out from 'other' stuff has given me inspiration for creating a few Stampin' Up! projects. Plus with a workshop on Wednesday I've really had to get my finger out. I'm on the case though and really looking forward to having a great time. I've had lots of help and ideas from all the girls over at the With Love With Stamping Forum so I hope it will be a success and we'll have a few laughs together.

I made this page last night - it's a very simple one for me but when you use SU! products all the colours go really well together which makes a project so easy to come together. I don't have any alpha stamps (yet) so I cut the title using 'alphalicious' on my Cricut. This really was a quick and easy page to make - the longest part was cutting and sticking the title. My wish list has definately got some alpha's on it now! :)

I used:- Cutie Pie patterend papers, Simply Said stamp set, Brocade Blue Ribbon, Silk Flower from the pretties kit dyed Rose Red, Pretty in Pink c/s. Inkpads:- Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Bashful Blue. Scalloped Cirlce, 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" cirlce punches

tfl,

Simply Said

It's been awhile since I last posted but last night I actually sat and had some 'me time' to do some cards. Here's a couple I made using the 'simply said' set. It's so versatile and I love it! Especially with some glitter!

Pretty and Bright

Another card using the fabulous Stamp-a-ma-jig. It really does make stamping so much easier and obviously, I have less waste. This card was inspired from a video tutorial over on Kristina Werner's blog - the video is here. A fabulous place to visit and she has some wonderful ideas - just love her MACM vids (Make A Card Monday).

The stamp sets are Simply Said, Seeing Spots and the c/s and inks are Tempting Turquoise, Pixie Pink Apricot Appeal and whisper white.

Thanks for looking,

Jo :)

A Posy of Flowers

As it's getting near to my first workshop, well actually my first of three in one week - gulp - I felt the need to make some more cards to display. Pastels are my fav at the mo - I think it's something to do with Easter and Spring. :) This card is so simple and what made it more enjoyable is I've discovered the Stamp-a-ma-jig. A fabulous tool that means your two step stamps will align EVER time! Love it, love it, love it! The stamp set is Simply Sent and I cut out the flowers and 3D them on the card with dimensionals. I made the stems by cutting a length of certainly celery cardstock about 2cm wide and put it through a ribbler (which i purchased from Hobbycraft for £1.99 a few weeks back, bargain!) and then cut the strip into three. I think the rest is self explanitory.

And here's the recipe.....

SU! Cardstock - Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Whisper White

SU! Inks - Pretty in Pink, Pixie Pink

SU! Ribbon - Pretty in Pink and Whisper White

Other - SU! Pink Circle Rhinestones, Dimensionals and Papermania Gem Stones

tfl and Happy Easter!

Simply Said

I had another little play last night with the 'simply said' stamp set. I bought this set from Linda's workshop a few weeks ago and it's beautiful, mind you I've always had a bit of a passion for hearts. I stamped the whisper white cardstock base with the one of the 'seeing spots' stamps using the Pretty in Pink stamp pad to start. The Pretty in Pink cardstrip was stamped using the versamark (I just love that effect) and each of the hearts were stamped with basic black, real red and of course the pretty in pink again. The sentiment is also in the 'simply said' set. Keep watching as I've got lots planned! :)
