More thanks!

Good morning!

Here are a couple more Thank You cards to send with some orders I have going out this week...

I had a couple of the Stippled Blossoms flowers left from a workshop I did a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to get them used up!

This first flower is actually the second stamping of the stamps, after I had stamped the flower I needed, creating a softer colour.

Here is the first stamping...

Can you see the difference in the colours? And that was just from one inking!

I went for paper piercing on this second one.

Which do you prefer?

Hello!

I was so proud of my little man last night...he got his 5m AND 10m badges for swimming! I'm chuffed to bits!

Anyway, here is today's card for you, again using Simply Sketched - I so love this set!

I just cut out the flower head this time, twice, and added some leaves from Stippled Blossoms (another set I love!)

The sentiment is from Express Yourself; another hostess set. 

You could get your hands on these hostess items, or others, simply by placing your order through my online shop using this week's mystery hostess code...

MAXYUMSP

The code is valid until midnight Friday 13th September, and if the combined orders reach £150, I will email the winner of the hostess credits on Saturday morning.

There are a couple of things I would like to point out to make your online ordering experience easier...

1. If you are ordering a stamp set with wording, please ensure you have ordered the correct language...many of the sets are available in English, French and German, and the English version doesn't necessarily present itself first.

2. If you can, please order using product code numbers from the catalogue...it help minimise mistakes :)

3. The search engine doesn't currently bring up just the item you search for, so you make have to scroll through the pages...another great reason to use product codes.

4. Finally, please do make sure that my name is in the top right corner of the online shopping page, then you know you're ordering from me :)

All codes can be found in your catalogue, or by browsing the catalogue links on my sidebar. 

If you would like a physical copy of the catalogue to drool over, please do contact me! They are £4.95 including postage, but I will refund the £4.95 if you place an online order of £25 or more!

A card for a very special lady!

Good morning!
I have a really feminine, girlie Birthday card for you today. This was a commission for a lady at church who turned 100 on Sunday...yes, 100! And let me tell you, she really does not look a day over 80! She still walks well, without a walking stick, barely has any wrinkles and doesn't even need glasses! One very incredible lady!!

Anyway, about the card...

I have used a bit of the gorgeous, but retired, Twitterpated DSP and teamed it with some of the lovely new ribbons, and the Stippled Blossoms stamp.

The sentiment was created in Word, using the Stampin' Up! RGB codes to get just the right colour (if you would like the codes, please contact me).

Supplies

Stamp - Stippled Blossoms

Ink - Primrose Petals, Pretty In Pink, Pear Pizzazz, Pistachio Pudding, Baja Breeze, Island Indigo, Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette

Ribbon - Blushing Bride Stitched Grossgrain, Pistachio Pudding Ruffled Stretch Ribbon

Other - Designer Builder Brads

I think this card would have been perfect for my Grandma for her birthday too. It would have been her 95th birthday today and I'm sure she'd have loved a card like this. Sadly, she passed away 2 and half years ago, but she is still missed. 

Happy birthday Grandma xxx

A Summery Birthday

Good morning!

Well it seems I have yet another new follower! A very warm welcome to you Deepti!

As promised, here is the other card I made on Monday night. 

I have used my neglected Stippled Blossoms stamp set here. This a wonderful two part set that gives a wonderful shaded effect without all the stress of trying to do clever colouring! 

I've also used some new Designer Paper from the Brights stack, the sentiment from Simply Sketched Hostess set and The banner from Hearts a Flutter.

Supplies

Stamps - Stippled Blossoms, Simply Sketched, Hearts a Flutter

Ink - Daffodil Delight, Strawberry Slush

A shaped One Layer Card

Good morning LIMettes!

Are you enjoying the lovely weather...isn't it gorgeous?!

This week at Less Is More, Chrissie and Jen have a One Layer theme and it is...

SHAPED CARDS
(not square or rectangular)

So here is my offering...

I have cut my card shape using the largest of the framelits from Labels Collection, the stamp is Stippled Blossoms and the sentiment is from the Sweet Essentials set, which is currently available at 20% off!

Right, I'm on a mad dash to work now...running late as I slept in lol!
Bye!

Sti[ppled Blossoms for the first time!

Good morning all!

How has your week been? Looking forward to a nice sunny weekend? I will be working, but we've had a wonderful week of sunny afternoons after work, particularly yesterday! My friend Emma and Keiran's second cousin Sophie came round for a bbq and water fight! I got soaked and thrown in the pool by Emma's other half Jamie! Much fun!

Anyway, the reason you're here is for my cards right? So here is a card I made the other night for my friend in Holland who sadly lost her Dad in the last week.

I used my lovely new Stippled Blossoms stamps and my Stamp-a-majig to make sure everything lined up perfectly. I stamped the flowers in Pretty In Pink and Chocolate Chip and the leaves in Wild Wasabi. 

The butterflies are from the lovely Papillon Potpourri bundle and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and the new Six Sided Sampler. Did you spot the little butterfly inside the card?

Supplies

Stamps - Papillon Potpourri, Stippled Blossoms, Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Six Sided Sampler

Ink - Pretty In Pink, Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi

Punches - Bitty Butterfly, Elegant Label

Ribbon - Wild Wasabi Stitched Grossgrain
