Birthday Bright !

So, we had a little chat yesterday about saying goodbye to some of the retiring products making way for the new Annual Catalogue in July , I thought it would be nice to share another card with some of the Birthday Basics DSP whilst they are still with us...

This card is bright and cheery with a Tempting Turquoise base which has been embossed with the Chevron Embossing folder, I've created a 'window' of cardstock covered with strips of the patterned paper which a great way to use up scraps, this has a die cut aperture using a die from the Chalk Talk Framelits.

The sentiment is so cool , this is part of the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit really great value at £17.95 as you can make 20 cards and then still have 3 great stamps left to add to your sentiment collection!

I've finished the card with Summer Starfruit ribbon which is a retiring In Color and sum stamped stars.

Hope you like it :)

*NEWSFLASH ...CARD CLASS DETAILS COMING SOON LOOK OUT FOR BOOKING DETAILS*

Have a great weekend everyone I'll be back tomorrow with more to share.

Get them while you can !

Hi again everyone , lots happening in Stampin' Up! land at the moment....of course you all know we have a Annual Catalogue and that there's always LOTS of lovely new goodies, you may even of heard the exciting news that Project Life is coming to SU !!! Anyway I digress, to make room for all the new lovelies we have to say goodbye to some old lovelies *sadface*

It's not all doom and gloom though because you can still stock up on your favourites like the retiring In Colors 2012 - 2014 in Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit and Primrose Petals , I've used Raspberry Ripple and Gumball Green here on this little card which I CASED from Pinterest...

I also added some Birthday Basics DSP (we get all new DSP's in the new catalogue *hint*) and the uber cute Zoo Babies stamp set.

If you want to grab any retiring In Colours while you can, let me know or pop along to my Online Shop and grab them while you can. I can't wait to see the new range of In Colors !!!

I'll be back tomorrow with some more makes to share with you.

Thanks for popping by...

Scallop Tag Topper Punch Class

Hello again everyone , I've been very busy this week planning a Workshop that I'm demonstrating at Eclectic Keepsakes Crop in Colchester this Saturday , I'm really excited and as I've shared the images with the Crop Ladies I thought I'd share them with you too.

Here's the full ensemble which is all using the fab new Scallop Tag Topper Punch from the Spring Summer Catalogue , it's really versatile and not just for tags as you can see ...

I've chosen a bold mix of the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper and cardstock in Raspberry Ripple and Very Vanilla. The accents of Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green all co-rdinate perfectly.

Here's the Tag Topper closure design , I love how effective this looks and it's so easy to accomplish with the punch.

Here's a more traditional use of the tag but still so effective especially when set against the embossed background , that's the FREE Sale A Bration Decorative Dots Folder that you can get when you spend £45 or more before the end of March. The sentiment stamp is yet another freebie too, the See Ya Later set , I love it and you'll be seeing more of that soon!!!!

Finally a super cute little treat box with the Scallop Tag Topper too ! Such fun to make and even easier with my trusty Stampin' Scoreboard and Stampin' Trimmer.

Right , I have lots still to prepare for my Ladies on Saturday but I'll be back soon to show you the same items with a completely different look using another colour palette and a more classic theme.

Thank you for visiting :)
