A beautifully simple Happy Birthday card in crumb cake with pastel shades. The Neighbourhood wheel was stamped onto Watercolour paper with the basic black ink.

To colour the individual houses I used the Stampin' Write marker pens, I scribbled onto the Pringle lid & then used an Aqua painter brush filled with water to pick up the colour & colour each individual house, set them aside to dry before cutting them out.

The flowers are also made with the Watercolour paper, I love how this paper reacts with the inks & water. The flowers are all punched using the smallest flower on the Boho blossoms punch, each flower is then edged with a pastel colour from the Stampin' Write pens using the brush tip. Then a few dots in the middle with the Black Stampin' Write pens using the fine tip. To shape the flowers use the soft mat from the mat pack & the slimmer end of the Tombow glue to shape the flowers. Crystal effects in the centre of the flowers & a light sprinkle of Dazzling Diamonds. The branches are cut from the two step Bird punch, with the leaf markings drawn on using the Wild Wasabi Stampin' Write marker.

2nd Stampers 6 card

The second stampers 6 card is a complete contrast to the first one, using the Brights colour family & the new Itty Bitty bits stamp set & punches..

The card on the left is the completed card with the Itty bitty Bits stamps, the card on the right is the card that I started making at the class & didn't have time to finish, but I think that it also looks good without the Itty Bitty Bits.

I have been just bursting

As a demonstrator for Stampin' Up we are very lucky to be able to preorder new products a month before the new catalogues are released, this is both a burden & a pleasure. Because whilst we can order the new product & use it to make samples we cannot share any of projects online, which is sometimes very hard when you are bursting with excitement.


Well today is the 1st of April & with it arrives the new Mini catalogue this is the biggest Mini ever in the UK. This is no April fool I will post an online link for the catalogue.


Mini Catalogue 1st April ~ 30th September

The first card I want to share with you is my Granddaughters birthday card using Itty Bitty Bits, Bitty Buttons & Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack.

Two Sale~A~Bration sets on a single card

Whilst I was checking some of my fellow Demonstrators blogs I came across a lovely card on Carol's blog so I thought I would make a similar card as I loved it so much, mine is subtly different as you will see when you pop onto Carols blog.
