Just a quickie from me today!
Well it’s Party time today for my youngest. She turned 4 on Wednesday and is having a birthday bash with her friends. So unfortunately for you lovely lot this is a very quick post today. I will post up a photo of the card I made her soon – It uses a retired Stampin’ Up set but then I love going back to some of my retired sets as they just do not seem to go out of fashion!
Here’s a neat little birthday card made using the postage stamp punch, Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Papers (Spring/Summer Catalogue), Itty Bitty Banners and matching framelit.
Such a super quick birthday card for a special little girl or boy!
Have a great weekend and Happy Crafting

So Many Birthdays
Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays! I don’t know about you, but I seem to have lots around this time of year; Family, friends, my children’s friends too. I always need a card or 6 on hand for such an occasion.
I put this pretty card together using Everything Eleanor from Stampin’ Up! I do love the large background swirl; it makes for a great background. The colours I used were Pool Party and Calypso Coral inks and cardstock. I hand cut the flowers and banner, which was stamped with the Happy Birthday phrase from Create a Cupcake. The gorgeous little butterfly was stamped using Papillion Potpourri and then punched out using the matching punches.
So all I have to do now is pick out who it is going to go to. If you would like to get to make cards like these then come along to my cards and coffee morning please do get it touch. It runs every other Wednesday during term time.
Back soon, Happy crafting

We have blast off!
Isn’t this stamps set just so cute fro the little astronaut in your life? It just what every great adventurer need to receive on his birthday.
Using the Outer Space Jumbo Wheel along with a Versamark cartridge I ran the planets & stars across my Marina Mist base. I then spritzed the card using some Champagne Mist mixed with Rubbing alcohol in my Stampin’ Spritzer for a cosmic shimmer look.
The spaceship was stamped in Marina Mist and Night Of navy on to Whisper White cardstock and cut out. I love the Basic Rhinestones that look like lights around the outer edge of the space craft. My little astronaut is seen looking out of the window.
This is such a great set for Birthdays, Invitations and thank you cards. You can team it up with many of our fantastic sentiments.
Hmm, my son will be off to another of his friends birthday parties soon, so this definitely be used for that.
Until next time, Happy Crafting.

Yummy Honeycomb.
Well i do think it rather yummy. Sorry if you were thinking it was gong to be a Crunchie bar. Mmm Crunchie! Sorry I digress.
So the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Folder, isn’t it great? Have you got yours yet?
I ran some Tea for Two Designer series paper through the folder and trimmed up some of the inner hexagons to glue onto the So Saffron Hexagon base.
I stamped my greeting onto another piece of the Tea for Two DSP, and trimmed it into a banner. The flower is made using a doily that has been scrunched together and then a large Designer Builder Brad pushed through. I glues a Vanilla Flower from the Flower Trim to the front.
And there you have it, a yummy honeycomb card. I hope you liked it.
Until next time, happy crafting!

Rain or Shine
There’s something about umbrella’s and cards I just love. And how great is it that Stampin’ up! have given us this wonderful set?
What a cheerful card this is to send to someone who may be having a tough time to give them a little smile and to know that you are thinking of them.
The pretty little Umbrella paper comes from the Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Papers, which also matches with Oh, Whale stamp set.
There are so many combinations with this set, and it goes so well with so many others.
What combinations will you make? I’d love to see your projects!
Until next time, Happy Crafting.

Thank you, can mean so much.
Isn’t it wonderful when someone helps you out, does something out of the blue to cheer you up or perhaps just looks after your children without being asked when you’re not well.
It’s those times when a simple thank you just doesn’t seem enough. So nothing says thank you more than a handmade card.
I love the colours on this card. The base is Early Espresso (I think I love this colour), the mat is So Saffron which has been textured with the Fancy Fan Textured Embossing Folder. This has all been accented with Regal Rose. It’s such a gorgeous old fashioned colour and yet also looks great in Modern Simple Cards.
I used my marker pens in Regal Rose, So Saffron and Lucky Limeade to colour in the flower from the Oh, Hello stamp set. And stamped my greeting from the same set onto Whisper White, which I then cut out using the Apothecary Accents Framelit die. I cut a second one in Regal Rose cut off either end then split it in 2 to make the outer edge frame.
A Paper Doily, some Victoria Crochet Trim and Basic Pearls just finished it off nicely.
So next time someone does something nice for you, send a handmade thank you.
Until next time.

Circle Circus, So Simple and Neat.
Just a quickie today...
I love the simple design of this card. The images from Circle Circus work so well here. I used a Pretty In Pink card Base and then a Basic Black Mat topped with Whisper White.
The Circle Circus images were stamped in Gumball green, Elegant Eggplant and Pretty In Pink. I added a Basic Rhinestone to each of the larger circles and under the My Friend sentiment.
Hope you like it.

Shoe Box Swap Part 2
As per part 1 This is a little photo heavy again, so my apologies.
So first up we have this fabulous card from Leanne. I love all of the different layers and pieces to this card. The use of the Honeycomb Textured Impressions folder with the little hexagons in looks great. And don’t you just love the little dotty spotty butterfly? I used one of our Stampin’ Up! white gel pens to do the dots.
I just love this stunning Collage stamped card created by my good friend Rachel. Look at all those different stamped layers, then by adding the ticket, rose and ribbon the whole thing just pops to life!
Even the Envelope gets a stamping!
I love this next card by Lucy. The little bees from Nature Walk work so well with the new Honeycomb Textured Impressions folder. These were stamped and then gently watercoloured. I love the greeting from Wacky Wishes Hostess set.
Wow, paper tearing and sponging on this next one by Sasha! I just love the Early Espresso edged on to the Island Indigo cardstock. The frame from Papaya Collage works so well on the First Edition Speciality Paper.
And finally here is my project. I wanted to give everyone a little something that they could pop all their cards into to take home. i love this little card holder and it is so easy to make! I used he Tea for Two Designer Series Papers and made kits to compliment the papers.
I used the greeting from the Oh, hello stamp set, sponged the edges and added the utterly gorgeous flower from the flower trim which can be found in the Spring/Summer Catalogue.
First up is this very simple card using the images from the Tea Shoppe stamp set. I used some of the left over Designer Series Papers to make the strip and circle. I really love that stamp set!
Well, we’ve seen tons of these banner cards but they are so fab, so here’s another! Again I used up some of my left over DSP to make them. the greeting is from petite pairs which is then punched using the largest Oval punch. A little sponging around the edges and a couple of our larger pearls from the mixed set of basic Pearls and there you have it.
We all had a ton of fun on the day, there was lots of chatting, and laughing. Plenty ooh’s and ah’s and some great crafting creativity! I cannot wait for the next one.
Until next time, Happy Crafting.
