Morning! So, by my reckoning, when you read this I will probably be in the land of enforced nod, being prodded and poked and all manner of things lol. It is probably the hottest day of the year so far, with blazing sun and lovely blue skies too :-D Ho hum, never mind.
On to today's card:
This is a thank you card for a special couple who sent me a gift for my birthday yesterday. I used a stamp from the Outlined Occasions stamp set, which I really like, and this is the first time I have used the 'Thanks' sentiment. The flower is from the Fresh Vintage stamp set and both of these sets are available free when you spend a minimum of £45 on Stampin' Up! goodies. But time is running out as they are only available until the end of the month, as that is when Sale-A-Bration ends.
Please feel free to message me if any of the stamp sets takes your fancy and I will only be too happy to order anything for you. I can't endorse Stampin' Up! enough, their products are fabulous and the colours co-ordinate really well together :-) I hardly ever use any other products now.

Many apologies for lack of bloggage yesterday, time escaped from me somewhat. We had an early meet at the swimming pool and then popped over to a friends for the afternoon. Then George had army cadets and I had no energy or inclination for anything workified :-( Today has been much calmer in comparison and I had opportunity to make some more cards in preparation for Boscombe Vintage Market tomorrow.
Here is one of the cards:
I like the fresh feel of this card, the use of the pink as a border to the First Edition Speciality dsp gives it a lift. I punched the hearts using the Heart to Heart punch and used a stamp from the S-A-B stamp set, Outlined Occasions for the sentiment.
Righty-ho, I'm off now, speak to you all very soon and if you find yourself at Boscombe Vintage Market tomorrow, pop along to say hello :-)

Morning! Another busy day ahead, going to a friend's for coffee and cake this afternoon and then later on we're off to the football stadium to find out about education choices for the 14-18 year olds. George is nowhere near that age yet, but its always good to know in advance what options are open to home educated children in our area. I have also had time to play around with making smaller cards, and am quite enjoying it.
So today's card is smaller, 4" by 4":
I used my new Big Shot die, Beautiful Wings, for the gorgeous butterflies. The sentiment is from the S-A-B stamp set, Outlined Occasions, and I used paper from the dsp, First Edition Speciality. I also inked the edges of the dsp with Island Indigo to match the colour of the butterflies.
That's nearly it from me today, please feel free to message me if you are interested in joining me as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like more information. During Sale-A-Bration is a great time to join as new demonstrators are eligible for an extra stamp set of their choice, for free, along with the great value starter kit for £119.

Apologies for not posting yesterday, it was a full on day at Moors Valley Country Park and we were both pretty tired when we got home. It was good to see good friends for a chat and watch our children play together well all day.
And, here we are, at the end of another beautiful day today, not a cloud in the sky out there at the moment. But today has been spent indoors making up some cards ready for sale at Lyndhurst tomorrow. Here is one of them:
For this one I used the Postage Stamp punch, which can be found in the Spring Mini Catalogue. I love this stamp alot, it gives a great effect. I used two stamps from the Perfect Postage stamp set (also available in the Spring Mini) for two of the cut outs, and the rest were punched out using some dsp that I had, from Nursery Nest, Beyond the Garden, and Big Top Birthday. Finally, the sentiment was one from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Outlined Occasions.
Hope you like it :-) If you fancy any of the stamps, papers, card or punches, please feel free to contact me, only just over a month to go til Sale-A-Bration ends and the Spring Mini is only available til the end of April, so time is of the essence :-)
Enjoy your evening and speak to you all tomorrow.
