Cuppa anyone??

I loved the "Share a Cup" stamp as soon as I saw it in the Autumn-Winter mini catalogue. And, when we were shown some cute cards at convention using it - I loved it even more.

Easter Treats part 2.

There were lots of ooohhs and arhhhs when this little fella appeared, which was the 3rd item we made on Sunday at the Easter Sweets and Treats class.  You can't see it in the photo but the little flowers and the shell are propped up with dimensionals and the shell also had dazzling diamonds glitter adhered to it. Once again we used the Tea Party DSP and so the 3 projects all co-ordinated, which is the best thing about Stampin' Up! products.  You can mix and match the cardstocks, inks, designer series papers (DSPs), ribbons, punches etc. If you want to learn more - contact me here and let me show you.

Easter Goodies

Here are two of the three items from my Easter Treats and Sweets class we completed yesterday.  I designed the Z-fold card to be a bit more masculine and although there is the little bit of ribbon tied through the jumbo eyelet, I think it would pass.  If there is a male out there, do tell me what you think - any feedback negative or otherwise, is gratefully received.  

This is the little treat pouch also using A Good Egg stamp set with the little chick which I think is adorable. 

Stamp sets: A Good Egg
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Whisper White, Tea Party DSP
Punches: 1-3/8" circle punch, circle scallop punch, hand-held 1/16" punch
Other: Water colour wonder crayons, so saffron grosgrain ribbon (retired), white gel pen, two way glue pen, small cellophane bag, linen thread.

Lovely Lavender

I received this gorgeous belated birthday card from Sally.  Purple is one of my favourite colours and I love how she's used the eyelet border punch at the bottom of the image (from Echoes of Kindness, which is a level 2 hostess set).  Very elegant.  Thanks so much Sally!
