Another 'Cardalope' ...

Hi everyone , hope the weekend is going just how you like it, I've had a busy but nice day making cards mostly a keepsake Mothers Day card and starting on a commissioned 50th birthday card too, I'll share pics of those when I can ;)

It was a busy morning too as Virgin Media came to jazz up our telly , we've not had 'proper' telly for a few months now and it's strange to have adverts and the same old repeats again ! We've been very selective with our viewing and I must say that in itself gives much more quality crafting time! The changes mean my email address has changed too so if you need me you can get me at ..

One of my recent 'makes' is another 'cardalope', not sure where that name came from , did I hear it somewhere else or did I invent it LOL ??

I love making these and they are great as Thank You notes, this one uses the Sweet Sorbet paper from the Sale A Bration freebies and I can't believe we have a just over a week till SAB is all over for another year ! Let me know if you want to place a cheeky order while you can still grab your freebie !

Hope you enjoyed a peek at today's craftiness, I have lots more to share this week.

You're Lovely !

That's the gorgeous stamp set that I made this card with , 'You're Lovely' its a Sale A Bration freebie and includes this pretty stamp that you can colour in to match your card perfectly...

I used Pool Party , Sahara Sand and Whisper White as my colour palette which matches this gorgeous paper from the Sweet Sorbet pack.

The Deco Label Framelits look fab layered up and a little bit of texture with the Decorative Dots embossing folder finishes it off nicely.

This was a perfect thank you to a dear friend for all her support and love , I'd be lost without her :)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

There's no place like home ..

Well that's certainly true when you can share your home with good friends and even better when there's a Stampin' Up! Workshop at home too !!!

On Saturday I held a small Workshop at home, it was exciting getting everything ready for the project that we were making and preparing for a spot of tea and cake too!

I laid all the kits out and generally got more and more excited in anticipation of an enjoyable afternoon chatting , sharing and stamping.

Soon enough my guests arrived and we set about making a 'cardalope' using the envelope punch board here's a close up of the outside showing the gorgeous SAB free Sweet Sorbet Design Series Papers and You're Lovely Stamps ..psst you can still get these with a £45 spend before the end of March.

Here's the inside, it's a great way to send a little note to someone special!

If you'd like to spend a couple of hours with friends or family creating and having fun let me know and I can bring a workshop to your home !

Thanks for dropping by again ...
