Another Cute Card for Thursday

Here is my second card for Cute Card Thursdays guest designer spot.  For this I used a bunch of Old Stash.

The main image is from Stamps by Judith, the papers, not sure on the make but they come from Woodware, Stampin' Up! card and ribbon oh and the Martha grass punch too.

The theme was bees and bugs... I have many bees to choose from, but this little one was the one that was buzzing the loudest out my drawer :)

Hello

What have you been up to today?  Beautiful sunny day today here in Surrey.  Just pottered about indoors.  Caiden is not well so we did not go anywhere.  Come to think of it, I am suddenly hot and shivery myself! Oh dear, I hope I won't be head down the loo tonight!!

Here is a card I made, was going to be for a challenge but I changed my mind.

Its all Stampin' Up! for this one.  Going Green set embossed with white Embossing powder onto Orange card.  Another flower stamped onto Crumb Cake card and the new Butterfly set and punch too.

And this was a Halloween card I made just for fun.  I do love Halloween!  A variety of stamps used.  The small witch is Penny Black, the ghost is Stampendous, fence is Magnolia as is the bunting and I believe the werewolf is Inky Antics, its one I brought unmounted many years ago.

I am very busy this month getting ready for convention.  So I might not be about much.

I am placing a Stampin' Up! order on Friday so if you want to add to it please let me know.

Cute Card Thursday

I was asked by a friend who happens to be part of the Design Team on Cute Card Thursday if I would like to have a go a being guest designer... DUH!!  of course I would be thrilled.  


This weeks challenge is no embellishments or home made only. Now you know I am not huge on overly embellishing and I am quiet a simple cardmaker so this was easy for me.


I have used one of the new Magnolia stamps from work and also use one of my favourite new stamp sets in the Stampin' Up! catalogue called "For Everything" and the colour Rich Razzleberry for the cardstock and ink.  

You can find the Cute Card Thursday blog at http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/

I hope you enjoy my creations over the next month.

Another card

For everything...again I can fast see this being my favourite and I am thinking of designing a class with this set and then offering it a class kit.   Hmmm  have I enough hours?

Welcome new catalogue

Well the 2010/11 catalogue has come out now and I had a little launch party yesterday and I hope all that came along had a nice time :)  We made 3 projects, ate cupcakes and had a good old chin wag.  Hubby, boys and dog were ejected from the house so the only madness in the house was from mad crafting women :)

Here are a few pictures from the last few days/weeks even.

Here is the Christmas card we made using "Dasher" and other things.

Baja blue was the main colour on here, along with Crumb Cake and

Early Esspresso

This little card was made using "For Everything" stamp set and I really love this set.  Not least as

it is something to colour in :)

This was my shoppers bonus thing and for each order of £50 or more

they could remove a circle to uncover a prize which would come with their order. 

Prizes include rolls of ribbon, ink pads, dazzling diamonds glitter and more

This is only something I intend to use at parties, however for the month of

October I would like to extend it to internet orders too.  So anyone that orders

£50 can tell me which circle to remove and they will receive that prize

with their order.  Sorry S10 ladies/gents  this does not include you for your

S10 orders but if you do order outside of the S10 then of course you

can have one too.

The new catalogue can be viewed at

I have more cards to share but haven't taken pictures yet and one of the projects I made 

yesterday must have gone home with someone else as I have theirs here.

Few more cards will pop up over the next month as I have been invited to be a guest designer

on a challenge blog.... more to follow soon....  but generally it will be head down making

swaps as I have joined lots for convention.

10 x 3d swaps

90 x about me mini pages

10 x demonstrator tools

and as many up to 300 general swaps.... PHEW!

A quick card

Getting severe withdrawl from making cards so I had to knock a quick one up tonight.  Now I know all the rage is 20 million layer, 30 thousand flowers and more... but this is about as simple as they get.  Partly as I want to take into work for display but I don't want to add something on it that they haven't got, so for now it will remain plain.

I have coloured with ink pads, the main image is Penny Black Snow Kiss, the snowflakes are imaginesce or however you spell it!  Lashings of glitter and some tullue to finish.  Not a die cut, punch or flower in sight!

A close up of the colours as the bigger image seems to have washed the colours out

I hope you like?  it felt good to colour

A little picture help

Thanks for the comments on my owl.  A couple of people requested more info.  So here it is.

Apologies for the crudeness of it, I have been at work and then straight home to pick Caiden up from Mums, then Harvey from school and then home to start tea and then swimming with Harvey and home to finish tea.  Sound like your life?? LOL  I am sure most parents can relate to that.

Twit Twoo

I was playing about with some punches last night, I was seeing if I could make an owl from punches we already have in our catalogue and here is what I come up with.

I made him used

Rounded Tab Punch - Body
Two Step Bird Punch - Wings & Branches
Heart from triple heart punch - Beak & Tummy
Boho Blossom Punch - Feet
1/4" Circle punch - Eyes

I am sure he will start popping up over blogs shortly as I shared with my fellow SU demos on our forum.  Not bad for playing about with some scraps on my table :)

Stampers Ten & other stuff

I am trying to find 2 more people for the stampers ten starting October.

Email me for more info

Remember most SU stuff will now be posted on my other site to keep this blog free (er) from all that :)

As for general cardmaking, I haven't been doing much recently, Harvey hasn't been well, has been waking me in the night for the last week and I have been getting very disturbed nights and ready for bed at 9pm but the  of course Big Brother has been keeping me up past that!  Have had 3 orders for my bunting recently so that is good :)

And here is my bitty bunting family.  These are cute and can be and I can make your family to suit your requirements so let me know if you want one by hopping over to my "Say it in bunting" website.

Of course it wouldnt be first day of school without my photo that I take each year.  Here is Harvey complete with his big bag (full of pencils and pens) he was so excited by taking his own bag now, what a big boy he is getting to be!   Here is Caiden who is now starting Reception.  He is still only part time and is going 9 - 12:15 He was very hungry when he came out from school today, they only had carrots as their "fruit" and veg and he doesnt eat carrots so was a bit hungry and tired  when I picked him up.  Straight home for lunch.

Darren made some cake with the boys yesterday. YUMM YUMM

Back to school means back to beavers tonight so I doubt very much anything creative will be made tonight either!

Be back soon xxx
