Vintage Vogue Class .....

This is the set that a group of  lovely ladies made last night using the Vintage Vogue stamp set from the mini catalogue.

I have to say I find it difficult not using any colour, but it was a suggestion from one of my ladies, so I took up the challenge and this is the result.  Everyone managed to complete their set, although there was a lot of cutting out and layering of the flowers, so I have promised to use punches next time!! 

I know I have been neglecting my blog lately and I have not had time to get around to visit my favourite blogs, so I would like to thank everyone who has visited me recently and left lovely comments. I have been busy making some special cards that were for an order, (I may post my favourite on here sometime next week) and I have been busy with some new design team makes, I know you are going to love them!!  I am planning on having a quick tidy up of my craft room and then spending some time catching up and seeing your wonderful cards and projects over the next couple of days. 

                                           

Truly Scrumptious Challenge 33 ......

This is my second post today!!!  I have had a busy week catching up with some of my design team projects, I will be sharing them with you all in the coming weeks. I have been preparing for another Stampin' Up! class for this Friday, I have 8 ladies (eek!) in this class.

This week at Truly Scrumptious we have another fabulous sketch for you designed by Mina, with the optional extra "embossing" .  The winner will be chosen via random org, as always there is a fantstic prize for the lucky winner!!!

I have loved using this sketch, there are a lot of lovely layers and I'm sure this will be a sketch that I would enjoy using again.  There are some beautiful cards from the talented design team again this week, you can see them all here!!! 

I have fially got around to using my new embossing folder I bought at the show in Harrogate a few weeks ago!! This is only the 2nd time I have coloured this stamp (very naughty!!).  I have used some more of those lovely Sweet Pea designer papers (available only while stocks last!!!) along with Pumpkin Pie card and ribbon from Stampin' Up!  the large pearls are from the Pretties Kit, sentiment is from the Circle of Friends stamp set.  The flowers and buttons are from my stash.

I hope you can join us at Truly Scrumptious this week!!!

                         
                                              

Your Next Stamp Challenge 17 ......

It is time for a new challenge today at Your Next Stamp!!!   Maylee would like to see a "Boarder Punch" on your card, I just love using my boarder punches, thank you Maylee!!!  There are so many beautiful cards made by the talented Starlets for the new challenge, you can see them all here at Your Next Stamp challenge blog.

I have used the lovely Baby Boy stamp set for my card, I have decided to show how versitile this set is and made a card suitable for a boy or girl, I'm sure it will look equally as nice in pink, there are 5 stamps in this set.  The colours are Whisper White and So Saffron, I have coloured the image  using my Stampin' Up ink pad and blender pen and I have used the delicate boarder punch also available from Stampin' Up!

If you hop on over to Karen's blog there is a fun competition happening and Karen has a sneak peak of the NEW Fhiona release on June 2nd!!!!!! 

Myself and the other Starlet's look forward to visiting your blog to see your challenge entery.

                                               

Gone Banana's .........

We not just yet!!!!  I have been busy trying to get ahead with some design team work and orders for some special cards I have been commissioned to make.

I thought I would share this cute monkey card I have made using the Fox and Friends stamp set with the fabulous sweet treat cups from Stampin' Up! I have filled them with some banana sweets, yummy!!!!

The treat cups can be filled with so many different things and make an interesting addition to a card, I have added a tab with a sliding pannel so the sweets can be taken out without tearing the card apart. 

Short and sweet today as I still need to get those orders finished!!   Thanks for stopping by,

                                                    

Birthday Butterflies .....

 

I thought I would show you one of the favour boxes I have made for an order for the ladies attending a special birthday celebration.  They were to be in the colours of the local football team!! 

 I have used Real Red card with the jumbo So Swirly wheel, I love this wheel, and it makes the background so quick and easy to do!!   I have stamped one of the butterflies from the Flight of the Butterfly set and used the matching punch, the pearl is from the pretties kit. 

All products are available from Stampin' Up!, contact me for further details.
