Beautiful Day

What a beautiful day today!  The perfect day to go down the park:

It would have been criminal to stay indoors today :-)  On the way home we popped into Sainsburys and I wrote out an advert to put on their board, so fingers crossed I might get someone who is interested in learning about making cards notice it and take down my details :-)  I really want to be given the opportunity to share my love of cardmaking and Stampin' Up! products, plus meet others who share the same passion as I do.  


The card today is from Sarah-Jane's card class on Monday:

I am in love with this one as well :-D  So fresh and spring-like.  I am so loving this stamp set, Easter Blossoms, the stamps encapsulate spring so well.  For this card, the image was stamped twice and the blossoms coloured in with a lighter and darker pink colour and gives a fab effect, the photo has picked it up well here.

Spring Equinox

Morning all :-)  Off to the bank in a bit to talk about getting an ISA.  Didn't realise they were tax free, so have decided that I will probably be better off sticking what meagre savings I have in one.  As long as the money is still accessible to me should I need it in an emergency, I will go ahead and get one :-)  I was hoping that the weather today would be as lovely as yesterday, and George and I would be able to enjoy a packet of chips in the sunshine, but alas it is cloudy, so we will be enjoying a packet of chips without sun lol, but as long as it doesn't rain, it shouldn't matter, especially as today is the official first day of spring :-D

So, here is today's card, another one from Sarah-Jane's class yesterday:

I absolutely adore this card, it is so fresh and gorgeous :-)  The stamp used is from the Easter Blossoms stamp set again, stamped using black StazOn ink and the blossoms coloured using a Stampin Write Marker pen.  The card also has a shimmer effect on it, created by using shimmer paint dabbed on with clingfilm, left to dry and then pink ink swirled on using a sponge dauber.  I will be using a version of this card for my card class at the end of March/beginning of April.

Spring Classes

Today I went to the lovely Sarah-Jane's for a spring inspired card-making class, which was very apt today as it was a beautiful sunny day outside :-)  I learnt some new techniques and will be trying them out for myself in the future.


Here is today's card, from Sarah-Jane's class:

I love the colour scheme and the stamp set that we used today for the cards.  The stamp set is Easter Blossoms and is in the Spring Mini Catalogue.  The photo doesn't show it very well, but the pink card has been stamped using Whisper White ink, and I am loving the effect that it gives.


I have dates set aside for my next classes and as they are in the week before Easter, I using this stamp set for them.  The dates that are available are 31st March, 3rd and 4th April, and the time will be 10am to 12pm each day.  Please message me for more information and to book your place, I look forward to hearing from you :-)

Buttons and Flowers

Evening, hope you all had a good day.  We ended up not doing what was planned for today, felt woolly and yucky so decided to just go round to a friend's for tea and a chat and be in the warm :-)  Having a quick sit down now before its time to take George to army cadets, so thought I would blog while waiting.


As promised,  here are a couple of the squares on the wallhanging photographed up closer:

For this square I used the Sweet Buttons Embosslits Die and added a real button too.  The cut out buttons have Crystal Effects on them to give them a shiny, glossy finish.

I love this square, it is very spring like.  I used a stamp from the stamp set, Easter Blossoms and added flowers made from one of the punches in the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, then finished it all off with some bling in the centre of each flower :-)


Sale-A-Bration ends at the end of the month, so not a lot of time to get an order in and take advantage of getting your hands on some freebies :-)  Message me if you are interested in placing an order with me, and I will get on to it.


Time to chivvy George into his cadet uniform now, so I will bid a fond farewell till the next time...
