Best Thoughts - Hostess Set

Hi All

Well it's a long weekend here and now have time to play in the craft room. Not quite the playing I wanted to do as my Big Brown Box did not turn up so when Tuesday comes around it is going to be a very busy day when it does arrive with all my new goodies.

Oh and I can not wait to share with you all what will be in it!

So in the mean time will craft with what I have from the new catty!

On this card I have used one of the new Hostess set's called "Best Thoughts" isn't it just gorgeous.

Here I have stamped and heat embossed in Black on a piece of vellum, once set turn over and take your stylus and gently run in circles in the petals.

You can watch this technique by Dot over at DOstamping 

I hope you like this card!

Paper Wedding Cake - Beautiful Bunch

Woo Hoo only a few hours away from the new catalogue going live!!!

Who is super excited...Me Me Me

I wanted to make a celebratory cake, but wanted a non fattening one. So today I have made this two tier cake from all Stampin'Up! products.

While making this today my hubby actually said I should have another level but if he knew how long it took me to do all the flowers he would not have said that lol.

To create this cake I have covered 2 different size hat boxes with Whisper White an glued the tiers together.

Full list of products used listed below.

I hope you like this creation.

Folding Box Card

Hi All!

I am sooo waiting for the new catalogue release that I have trying to keep my mind busy.

Today I made myself a birthday card - Folding Box Card, I did put a little too much into it as I can not close it properly to put in an envelope...Lucky it's for me lol

On this card I have used several different stamp sets and punches an there will be a full list at the end of this post.

I have curled (rolled) the flowers edges to make them a little puffy.

Everything Eleanor

Hi All!

How was your weekend? Mine was awesome spending it with family.

This morning it is tad cold so I have got the fire going and am sitting here crafting away. 

I am in a neutrals tone lately, just love the browns mixed with pale blues.

On this card I have used the technique of ink directly to paper by dragging the ink pad across the cardstock. First layer is Soft Sky next Crumb Cake last Tip Top Taupe.

Then I have stamped flourish from Everything Eleanor in Tip Top Taupe.

Sentiment from Butterfly Basics

I hope you like this card

Friendly Wishes - Serene Silhouettes

Hi All Again!

We spent yesterday celebrating my grand children's birthday's, Miss Mahlia turned 3 and Master Hamish turned 1. How awesome is it for siblings to share the exact day of birth. It was a wonderful day with family and friends.

Photo above is left one year ago, right last week

Here are my two cutie pies

Well enough of my family an get onto other important things.

So I am back today showing you again a different version of Friendly Wishes.

Here I have stamped in Craft White then once dry stamped just off a little to the right to create the shadow effect. I am loving this technique an you could use it with any stamp set.

I love how this turned out, I hope you like the card.

Card stock and ink is Baked Brown Sugar. Back ground is stamped with the same colour scheme using the Hardwood stamp.

Thank you for joining us for the Crazy Crafters May Blog Hop, this month we are showcasing some sneak peeks from the new 2015/2016 Annual Catalogue!

Our host for this hop is....Stephanie Fischer

We hope you enjoy our virtual hop where you will either learn great techniques for your paper crafting projects or just a chance to enjoy each of the ladies lovely creations! Be sure to click on the next button further down to continue your journey on this blog hop.

Today I am showing one of my favourite set's (so far) that are new. But I am sure I will have all new favourites that you will be able to view from the 2nd June, be sure to check back soon for some sneak peaks.

On this creation I am using Sprinkles of Life stamp set which Stampin Up donates $3.00 from every set sold towards the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Here I have made an Easel card because I wanted the rain drops to hang from the clouds which you can stamp then punch out using the coordinating Tree Builder punch.

The baskets with apples are also made using the stamp set and punch, aren't they just too cute. To create the basket you stamp the smallest ice-cream cone and trim down.

I hope you like this card and enjoy the rest of your journey through this blog hop.

Next on this hop is Stephanie Fischer
