<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I held a class at my home a few weeks ago and I just wanted to share one of the cards we made. I totally love creating this kind of background so I thought I would get the ladies to get all inky!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gBJuyuCjdIw/WOSyZdaqXtI/AAAAAAAB61Y/tA3V8zkUxGwlG11oQ-nqlBsrNDhYFPCZgCLcB/s1600/IMG_8026.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gBJuyuCjdIw/WOSyZdaqXtI/AAAAAAAB61Y/tA3V8zkUxGwlG11oQ-nqlBsrNDhYFPCZgCLcB/s400/IMG_8026.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To create the background I simply used sponges to swipe colour across the card. I then stamped my dancing lady from Beautiful You, and coloured her with my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to make her into a silhouette. I then added a few strokes of Wink Of Stella to give a little shimmer to the card.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and then I added various Stampin' Emboss Powders to create the rainbow effect.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*TIP - I masked off the word 'gorgeous' on the stamp using a Post-It note so I had the sentiment I wanted.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love using this technique...have you ever tried it? If not, give it a go and let me know how you got on!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok so recently I had a page pop up on my Facebook, suggesting I might like it. So I had a look! And boy was I inspired! So much so, I had a little play, and inspired by one of his paintings, I created this card....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xRxI_tqF9zE/WKYbR6UKlWI/AAAAAAAB6xU/MO--FP5P9pgsbc2utCu8LdKwSeSBQcRoQCLcB/s1600/IMG_8016.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xRxI_tqF9zE/WKYbR6UKlWI/AAAAAAAB6xU/MO--FP5P9pgsbc2utCu8LdKwSeSBQcRoQCLcB/s400/IMG_8016.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used some sponges and lots of Brights inks to basically swipe ink onto the card, building up and overlapping the colours to create the background. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uUxAmRDYxtI/WKYbSH-TIsI/AAAAAAAB6xY/Vc1CU_4MkRAl6P6q2TR38GYFGg4USWrNQCLcB/s1600/IMG_8017.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uUxAmRDYxtI/WKYbSH-TIsI/AAAAAAAB6xY/Vc1CU_4MkRAl6P6q2TR38GYFGg4USWrNQCLcB/s400/IMG_8017.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then stamped and coloured my lady from Beautiful You, fussy cut her out, then popped her up on Dimensionals before adding the sentiment. In hindsight, I would have made my lady more vibrant in colour and perhaps used a different sentiment, but all in all, I love the effect I created!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Good evening!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, so what do you do when you ink an embossed image and get ink everywhere and ruin the card? Cut it out!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the embossed image from one of the Floral Affection embossing folders and I cut it out, popped it up on Dimensionals and stuck it to my card blank. Do you recognise the swirl in the background?? </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's from one of the Christmas sets, Star of Light. I do love it when I get to use a 'Christmas' stamp all year round!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's all from me today. Hope yours is a good one!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well we've all made it through to Friday! Yay!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I have one more card using the Beautiful You stamp set. I was clearing up my desk yesterday and found this image laying there, already coloured, so this is how I used it...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T6hZ6EDoEDY/WJOt90TPqmI/AAAAAAAB6rA/m_OcBL_5M-od2I2ugtgClpjqrzxnQdZagCLcB/s1600/IMG_8004.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T6hZ6EDoEDY/WJOt90TPqmI/AAAAAAAB6rA/m_OcBL_5M-od2I2ugtgClpjqrzxnQdZagCLcB/s400/IMG_8004.png" width="307" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've kept my card simple but added a little texture with the Softly Falling EF, (looks a bit like rain, I thought!), and I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits to cut out my image.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I may see you over the weekend, but in case I don't I hope you have a good one and I hope to see you next week!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello again! Ok, this is a quick 'bonus' post for today!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I just noticed that I'm actually not too late to join in with the challenge at <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/challenge-313-balloons.html" target="_blank">Less Is More</a> this week, for their Balloons challenge!

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I'm sharing a card I made ages ago, using One Wild Ride. I'm not the best at making male cards, but I'm very happy with this one!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to make a z-fold card with a 'twist'...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">...it opens the opposite way to usual! The reason for this?</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So the bike looks like it's travelling! I had a lot of fun making this. Lots of neutral colours but quite an effective card I think. What do you think?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning to you lovely crafty peeps!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided that today I should show you something other than just those lovely ladies from the last few days, so here is the card and gift box I made for my very good friend, Sharon, for her birthday early in January.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used Botanical Builder Thinlits which I inked up with sponge daubers to give a more subtle coloured effect.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I went for a Z-Fold card as I think they have quite an impact, don't you? I like to leave the middle panel blank to write my message on, but you could decorate it too. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used several sentiment sets to complete the card and box, including Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Crazy about You, Endless Birthday Wishes, Hello You Thinlits and Large Number Thinlits. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello again!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, as promised yesterday, here is another card, this time using the very elegant lady from Beautiful You...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For some reason, when I saw this elegant lady, it made me think of red and black, so I went with it! What do you think??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have kept the card very simple and classic, which I think works perfectly for this stamp, don't you? Again, I used my new Watercolor Pencils and Aqua Painters to colour her in.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for popping by today, and don't forget, if you would like any catalogues posting to you, free of charge (so you can drool all over them!) please just let me know.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">See you soon!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm here today to share another Beautiful You project, this time it's a card, and this elegant lady is </span><span style="font-size: large;">feeling a little 'blue'...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uUAxfrLhfMk/WI5dx4DzUeI/AAAAAAAB6pg/4o7Qf1HsyjQ4GXPlcx_XopGGliIVsWZFgCLcB/s1600/IMG_8001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uUAxfrLhfMk/WI5dx4DzUeI/AAAAAAAB6pg/4o7Qf1HsyjQ4GXPlcx_XopGGliIVsWZFgCLcB/s400/IMG_8001.png" width="286" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I sponged the background using Pacific Point ink (I need to practice I think!) and stamped my sentiment over the top.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After water colouring the lady I fussy cut her out and popped her up on Dimensonals.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really like the simplicity of this card, and the sentiment works so well, doesn't it?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have one more of these lovely ladies ready to show you, so I plan to be back with that one soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well hello to you all! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, I admit, it's been a while. A long while in fact! Not to make excuses but life has been somewhat busier over the last year or two, as Keiran now does activities every evening, and that means when I get in there are things that need doing around the house, or I'm just shattered! That on top of all the studying I had been doing and it left me little time for 'myself'! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have managed to do a little crafting recently though, and I'd like to show you one of my makes, if I may?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you probably know by now, there is a wonderful stamp set in the Spring/Summer catalogue called Beautiful You, and to be fair, you've probably seen lots of samples using it, but I'm sharing one of mine today anyway! I really love this set...it's just so elegant and versatile!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3uYo6aH4_WI/WI3Fe-zM29I/AAAAAAAB6oc/RzulbhP6qiAxWfetlij5AudgO-PPT_tXgCLcB/s1600/IMG_7994.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3uYo6aH4_WI/WI3Fe-zM29I/AAAAAAAB6oc/RzulbhP6qiAxWfetlij5AudgO-PPT_tXgCLcB/s400/IMG_7994.png" width="285" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided I would rather like to see this carefree lady dancing under the sun, on a notebook. I used the brilliant new Watercolor Pencils and an Aqua Painter to colour this lovely lady. I do love these pencils! They have bought back my love for colouring!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GpGDnRmuEoo/WI3Fd1Twr3I/AAAAAAAB6oU/JoCxVnFIRfIJYcv3YUDNatpIzMEd0fJZQCEw/s1600/IMG_7995.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GpGDnRmuEoo/WI3Fd1Twr3I/AAAAAAAB6oU/JoCxVnFIRfIJYcv3YUDNatpIzMEd0fJZQCEw/s400/IMG_7995.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The pencils are ideal for colouring on more porous mediums as they don't soak in and become difficult to blend like wet ink does, so they were perfect for this notebook with it's slightly rough cover.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used Kinda Eclectic to add the sun, and see the shimmery sparkle? I created that using my clear Wink Of Stella pen...subtle but effective!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't forget that it is Sale-A-Bration until the end of March, which means for every £45 you spend with me, you get to choose a FREE item from the SAB brochure!! That's for EVERY £45!! So there really is no limit to the freebies! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you would like me to send you a Spring/Summer catalogue and Sale-A-Bration Brochure, free of charge, please just contact me and I will be more than happy to do so! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good afternoon to you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How are you? Did any of my UK followers get snow on Wednesday? We didn't in Bolton, which is a shame because I love snow!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh well, moving on! Now that Halloween and Bonfire night are over I feel like I can really start my Christmas crafting, and to help I had a new delivery on Monday! You may have seen these being shown here and there....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="255" src="https://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/europe/stitchframelit_q1_spuk.png?sfvrsn=0" width="400" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you haven't, let me explain. Stampin' Up! have released some brand new Framelits called Stitched Shapes and they are fantastic!! I couldn't wait to get in my craft room and have a play, so do you want to see?? Ok here you go....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wDCmJkrW4SE/WCSk9tizC9I/AAAAAAAB6ak/v4ai_dYRrV0VEqqIFTjk1aQz2qbWq09TwCLcB/s1600/IMG_7974.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wDCmJkrW4SE/WCSk9tizC9I/AAAAAAAB6ak/v4ai_dYRrV0VEqqIFTjk1aQz2qbWq09TwCLcB/s400/IMG_7974.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok so as usual, I have to see just how coordinating these new Framelits are with the Layering Square Framelits and wow! They fit perfectly! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nn8JFECYnSU/WCSk95i5vJI/AAAAAAAB6ao/FITNp902bNANxe8REioaPIfCCxaTxf7XwCEw/s1600/IMG_7968.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nn8JFECYnSU/WCSk95i5vJI/AAAAAAAB6ao/FITNp902bNANxe8REioaPIfCCxaTxf7XwCEw/s400/IMG_7968.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to dig out one of my forgotten stamp sets for this card. It's easy to get excited by new stuff but we mustn't forget our good old favourites too! The Poinsettia from Reason For The Season is heat embossed with the brand new Copper Stampin' Emboss and then I stamped over the top with the matching 'filler' stamps. The only thing is that that I forgot the ink wouldn't dry on the copper, so when I started to cut the flower out it all smudged! I thought it was a goner, but I got a baby wipe and gently wiped the ink off and it spread over the whole flower leaving it looking like this...love it! I filled the centre with Gold Stampin' Glitter. Isn't it all so shiny and pretty??</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope to have more play time with my new Framelits soon so of course I will share what I make! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Did you survive the trick or treaters last night? Did you have enough goodies to give out? I was out last night and Keiran was at cubs so we kind of gave Halloween a miss this year!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I realise that I haven't shared any of my makes from the Autumn/Winter catalogue recently, so now that Halloween is over and we can look forward to Christmas (after bonfire night of course!), here is one of the Christmas cards I made this weekend...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-roKyWv7hFrw/WBhdyvpmbEI/AAAAAAAB6ZU/rkeP30gir3wIRd6LMwX6kuWqLxrDj0pZwCLcB/s1600/IMG_7952.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-roKyWv7hFrw/WBhdyvpmbEI/AAAAAAAB6ZU/rkeP30gir3wIRd6LMwX6kuWqLxrDj0pZwCLcB/s400/IMG_7952.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the Softly Falling embossing folder for the white panels, then the Starlight Thinlits to die cut the star out of Silver Glimmer paper.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hbHmVwqpP90/WBhdyivhg1I/AAAAAAAB6ZY/7T5MCFvVjFYXh9KbQsoObVBw4UQ2zBdbACLcB/s1600/IMG_7953.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hbHmVwqpP90/WBhdyivhg1I/AAAAAAAB6ZY/7T5MCFvVjFYXh9KbQsoObVBw4UQ2zBdbACLcB/s400/IMG_7953.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The sentiment is from the co-ordinating Star Of Light stamp set and is stamped in Night Of Navy to match the card blank. The stamps and dies are available as a bundle for 10% off so why not get them together and save!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a very simple sketch from <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/case-this-sketch-196.html" target="_blank">CAS(E) This Sketch</a> to put my card together...I hope you like it :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good afternoon all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I decided to have a little look at the <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/time-to-celebrate-lim-week-300.html" target="_blank">Less Is More</a> challenge today, seeing as I have been back in my craft room the last few days, and even blogged, and I was gobsmacked to see that it is their 300th challenge today! Wow! I remember joining in on one of their very first challenges way back when I first started crafting! So I really did have to make something for their challenge, which is </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><u>Celebrations and Festivals</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here is what I came up with...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o9JzpyjU5OI/WBSS04qHX1I/AAAAAAAB6YQ/I9s8ATZEFzYUb6Y5VLfhCbg6lulg_hoHACLcB/s1600/IMG_7961.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o9JzpyjU5OI/WBSS04qHX1I/AAAAAAAB6YQ/I9s8ATZEFzYUb6Y5VLfhCbg6lulg_hoHACLcB/s400/IMG_7961.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the really gorgeous All God's Grace stamp set, which I turn to so often for Baptism, Christening and Confirmation cards. I heat embossed the cross with Silver Stampin' Emboss before fussy cutting it out amd popping it up on Dimensionals.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3cxSlTpw2ME/WBSS09aIVEI/AAAAAAAB6YU/lBjhwgKMeAYuTZUHtqVNpt5DurkBCifIACLcB/s1600/IMG_7963.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3cxSlTpw2ME/WBSS09aIVEI/AAAAAAAB6YU/lBjhwgKMeAYuTZUHtqVNpt5DurkBCifIACLcB/s400/IMG_7963.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stamped the sentiment in Silver Encore, using the Stamp-a-Majig to position it perfectly. (yes I still use mine!) I finished with some paper piercing both under the sentiment and on two opposite corners, and a pearl.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you'll pop over and see Chrissie and all the LIMettes and see what they made, and maybe even join in with their celebrations!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also used the sketch from <a href="http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/freshly-made-sketches-260-sketch-by-kim.html?utm_source=bloglovin.com&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+FreshlyMadeSketches+(Freshly+Made+Sketches)" target="_blank">Freshly Made Sketches</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How are we all?? Wow I can't believe it has been so long since I've posted! Life has been a bit up and down, and very busy lately, but I have actually been crafting, I just haven't had the energy to blog as well. So I am hoping to change that somewhat and try and post some of the projects I have been making, starting with this one...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EpMMQDrFhlU/WBJxjohM5EI/AAAAAAAB6Xc/0UQP-bIDPUgJXcxchh61L2HlGBVKB9LpgCLcB/s1600/IMG_7905.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EpMMQDrFhlU/WBJxjohM5EI/AAAAAAAB6Xc/0UQP-bIDPUgJXcxchh61L2HlGBVKB9LpgCLcB/s400/IMG_7905.png" width="313" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So this was pretty much the first card I made with this matching stamp and die set, Floral Phrases and Detailed Floral Thinlits. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CiHNPt1oSxM/WBJxi5ix3jI/AAAAAAAB6XY/_0R8b9Jv_Z4OuWJ8GIJsa7JWAOwQkXj4QCLcB/s1600/IMG_7906.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CiHNPt1oSxM/WBJxi5ix3jI/AAAAAAAB6XY/_0R8b9Jv_Z4OuWJ8GIJsa7JWAOwQkXj4QCLcB/s400/IMG_7906.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For this card I actually made stencils from the dies and sponged Gold Encore ink through them, then heat embossed the sentiment with Gold Stampin' Emboss. I finished with some lovely gold twine and gold gems from my stash.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I said I have been busy and I feel I should explain. Over the last 18 months or so I have been studying to become a personal trainer, for which I qualified in February, but I didn't stop there! Nope! I also did a Level 3 in Exercise Referral, Level 4 in Obesity and Diabetes and to finish it all off, Level 3 in Ante and Post Natal exercise! So now you know what has kept me so busy! I am extremely happy to say that I have now completed (and passed!) all my studies, so I hope to have a little more time and energy to get some blogging done! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for popping by, and no matter how busy I am, don't forget you can always order anything you need from the link on the right, including the products I used in this card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope to back in the next day or so!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">We're showcasing lots of gorgeous </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I am soooo excited about the upcoming Autumn/Winter catalogue! It isn't available to order from until 1st September, but as a Demo I am very lucky to be able to get a sneak peek of the products! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">There are so many gorgeous stamps sets, bundles, kits, DSP, accessories and gift packaging that I found it very difficult to decide what to order this time! However, I did decide and plumped for one bundle, some DSP and some sequins and ribbon...here is a little sneak peek...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a brand new bundle comprising Star of Light Photopolymer stamps and Starlight Thinlits Dies. Aren't they gorgeous?? </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QTDf0RMGF9w/V7mp41_LLcI/AAAAAAAB5_k/9ZRfEMlbZpoP7ZFZWKLnegQCCbyizBk-gCLcB/s1600/IMG_7914.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QTDf0RMGF9w/V7mp41_LLcI/AAAAAAAB5_k/9ZRfEMlbZpoP7ZFZWKLnegQCCbyizBk-gCLcB/s400/IMG_7914.png" width="400" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cUiVoRvR6fY/V7mpA8qhd-I/AAAAAAAB5_Q/IvQd9latOy821Xd_J5zOrS4UHOBs9ZEPgCLcB/s1600/IMG_7911.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cUiVoRvR6fY/V7mpA8qhd-I/AAAAAAAB5_Q/IvQd9latOy821Xd_J5zOrS4UHOBs9ZEPgCLcB/s320/IMG_7911.png" width="187" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As well as using the stamps and Thinlits, I used some of our stunning Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper for the star on the card and added a Soft Sky Sequin from the Fancy Frost Sequins. The tealight uses Fancy Frost Speciality Paper, which is as thick as cardstock actually, and a Sweet Sugarplum Sequin and matching Glitter Ribbon. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I do love how all these items work so well together...I can see me making lots with this bundle!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So now it's over to Kim's blog to see what she has created!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I've got a set of 4 cute little notebooks to show you, made using my favourite ever hostess stamp set! I hope you're not fed up of seeing me use this set yet!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aEXPKDCsteY/V4tWVcDCOhI/AAAAAAAB50M/xoZ8brBwvfsMPbO2wKGb-4eQpJttmE9oACLcB/s1600/IMG_7896.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aEXPKDCsteY/V4tWVcDCOhI/AAAAAAAB50M/xoZ8brBwvfsMPbO2wKGb-4eQpJttmE9oACLcB/s400/IMG_7896.png" width="332" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also used a couple of other stamps to create backgrounds, like Gorgeous Grunge, Awesomely Artistic and Botanical Blooms. Here are each of the notebooks individually...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also added little bits of retired ribbon around the spiral binding. I really enjoyed making these, and I already sold 3 out of the four...best get making some more! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am really enjoying getting back into crafting and blogging lately. There are some truly gorgeous stamps, dies and bundles in this year's annual catalogue and it's hard to resist playing!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So today I'm showing you a card I made for a demo at a local craft group last Monday.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's card showcases the Pop of Pink DSP, and the Botanical Builder Thinlits, along with a little Sweet Sugarplum inking, using Sponge Daubers to give the flowers a little colour.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finished the card with a White Perfect Accents and some scattered leaves. By the way, did you notice where they came from? You know I'm not one to waste anything!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello and happy Friday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So in my last post I promised to show you a way to use the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits for a 'manly' and non 'lovey dovey' style card. So what do you think of this...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-71ROWUBYHtc/V3wtB0XYpVI/AAAAAAAB5l8/3EflaI-1D3ES8IzwKfwmttOH0ev3AlVXgCLcB/s1600/IMG_7893.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-71ROWUBYHtc/V3wtB0XYpVI/AAAAAAAB5l8/3EflaI-1D3ES8IzwKfwmttOH0ev3AlVXgCLcB/s400/IMG_7893.png" width="292" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used our new Dapper Denim card stock to cut out the heart, and stuck it to the base card. Then I cut '40' out of the top panel, using the Large Numbers Thinlits, and popped this up on Dimensionals.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HeflAP5p_c8/V3wtBzO4KiI/AAAAAAAB5l4/TEsDZYat8dgiJ61KroqypoXGHjzD-bBpACKgB/s1600/IMG_7894.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HeflAP5p_c8/V3wtBzO4KiI/AAAAAAAB5l4/TEsDZYat8dgiJ61KroqypoXGHjzD-bBpACKgB/s400/IMG_7894.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And then, because I forgot to do it before, (oops!) I stamped the sentiment from the Number Of Years stamp set over the number. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So this was a super quick, easy, man card, made using an unlikely die! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a fab day and hope to see you soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning all!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I'm showing you one of my new favourite dies. You may remember it being in the Spring/Summer catalogue, and I am very excited to see it in the new annual catalogue! I have used it in a slightly different way though....do you recognise it?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The die is from the gorgeous Bloomin' Heart Thinlits. I cut the heart out of Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper. To give the heart a different shape, I die cut a sweetheart shape out of the top panel of my card using one of the new Sweet and Sassy Framelits dies and stuck the filigree heart behind it. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Morning all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's project was something I made for the Christening of my lovely Goddaughter, Lucy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to make something special as a keepsake, so I decided a box frame style card would be perfect. I printed the sentiment onto the inner panel, then added the cross from All God's Grace, which I heat embossed in silver before fussy cutting it out.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Keeping it simple, I finished with a large Basic Rhinestone.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We had a wonderful day at the christening. Here are a couple of my favourite pictures from the day, courtesy of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cameraobscuraphotographytrobinson/" target="_blank">Camera Obscura Photography</a>...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey again :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, so as I said on Wednesday, I haven't been blogging or crafting much, but I have made the odd few things over the last few months, so I'm going to share some of them over the next few posts. Here is the card I made for my Dad for Father's Day...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I combined a few products for this card...Hello You Thinlits ('Happy' cut out of the white panel), Timeless Textures (for the blobs and coffee circles), Thoughtful Banners Bundle (for the sentiment).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the new 2016/17 In Color, Dapper Denim for the stamping and the card base. Pretty manly, don't you think? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How are you all?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been soooo busy over the last year, and I wanted to share with you what I've been doing that has kept me from crafting and blogging so much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since February last year I have been studying. Yep, studying! And it's finally over, for now! In the last 12 months I have qualified at Level 2; Fitness Instructor, Level 3; Personal Trainer, Level 3; Exercise Referral Specialist and Level 4; Obesity & Diabetes Exercise Specialist. This has all been going on whilst I have been working, being Mum and struggling with some personal issues, so it has left little time for crafting or blogging! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I'm hoping life will settle down somewhat now, and I can get back to enjoying some crafty time!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So first, I have a shaker card to show you, that I made for a very special lady, Caroline Hallett (Crafty Hallett). She found out how much I had been struggling, and sent me a really generous package of goodies, and a gorgeous card!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SZCY5lYerZA/V3LjsZ68QPI/AAAAAAAB5j0/mg9oCYV26DI811xVcoOeYW6QYOyenYLhQCLcB/s1600/IMG_7875.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SZCY5lYerZA/V3LjsZ68QPI/AAAAAAAB5j0/mg9oCYV26DI811xVcoOeYW6QYOyenYLhQCLcB/s400/IMG_7875.png" width="310" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Part of my parcel was the already prepared frame and the Window Sheet, which is what led me to make a shaker card. I glued the Window Sheet to the back of the frame, added some sequins, then, after stamping the sentiment from One Big Meaning, I used some of the new Foam Adhesive Tape to attach the frame to the card blank.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finished with some die cut flowers from Botanical Builder Framelits, inked with Sweet Sugarplum, and sequins and Glimmer Paper added for essential sparkle!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you like my card, and hope to see you again soon! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello and welcome to my little blog, and my project showcasing some of the new products from our brand new Annual Catalogue!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-viurZPorE5c/V11sJ0fROuI/AAAAAAAB5iA/GmFDcTMIMOoBq0L_7urgrIt_4cq75SfVgCLcB/s1600/IMG_7867.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-viurZPorE5c/V11sJ0fROuI/AAAAAAAB5iA/GmFDcTMIMOoBq0L_7urgrIt_4cq75SfVgCLcB/s400/IMG_7867.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I absolutely love this Love You Lots stamp set, as you probably know by now! It is one of the new hostess sets which you can earn for free with any order/workshop or party of £150 or more! I have used 2 of the lush new In Colours, Sweet Sugarplum and Peekaboo Peach, as I think the look fab together, don't you??</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, the card first...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yioC-F6QWeQ/V11sJRM_ABI/AAAAAAAB5h8/ODNJKMhHBW0fnOOnAMWKw2Mw86CvejGvQCKgB/s1600/IMG_7868.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yioC-F6QWeQ/V11sJRM_ABI/AAAAAAAB5h8/ODNJKMhHBW0fnOOnAMWKw2Mw86CvejGvQCKgB/s400/IMG_7868.png" width="286" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have stamped the little cuties in Tip Top Taupe, then stamped 2 balloons from Balloon Celebration in the In Colors before punching them out with the co-ordinating balloon punch. I then stamped 2 strings from the set and popped the balloons up on Dimensionals.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And now to the jar...which is full of Peekaboo Peach candles!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUkCXF2spUs/V11sLXXx7BI/AAAAAAAB5iQ/Ld6n3YIPc5IdhWmdzzpNM7ehq-ffH6ffQCKgB/s1600/IMG_7871.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUkCXF2spUs/V11sLXXx7BI/AAAAAAAB5iQ/Ld6n3YIPc5IdhWmdzzpNM7ehq-ffH6ffQCKgB/s400/IMG_7871.png" width="362" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">See? Told you they match! And they are peach fragranced too! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I first of all embossed the Peekaboo Peach card with the Woodgrain EF, then stamped the sentiment from Layering Love in matching ink. The butterfly is from Papillon Potpourri (so glad it hasn't retired!). I then wrapped some gorgeous Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon around the neck of the jar to finish it off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you are all well! It's a lovely bank holiday Monday here in the UK so I am going to spend it in my garden, but before I do I thought I would share this little card I have quickly made for the <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/week-278-sketch.html" target="_blank">Less Is More</a> sketch challenge this week...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought this was a 'me' sketch so I couldn't resist playing along!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And I used a brand new hostess stamp set! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I titled this post 'Drunken Ladybirds'....have a look at these cuties...they remind me of one friend propping another up after a couple of drinks too many, don't you think?? I can just see them dancing and singing down the street on the way home from a great night out!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This lovely set, which I am 'slightly' obsessed with, is Love You Lots and is one of the new hostess sets, available for free from Wednesday with any workshop, party or individual order of £150 or more. I teamed it with the new Sweet & Sassy framelits to create the heart. To give a little depth I popped the top of the heart up on Dimensionals.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I fussy cut the very cute 'drunken' ladybirds (ladybugs in USA I believe?) and then after colouring them in Real Red, I gave them a coat of Crystal Effects to make them shine. You could also achieve a similar effect by heat embossing them with Versamark and Clear Stampin' Emboss, though I would do it before cutting them out!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finished the card with paper piercing for interest without taking anything away from the simplicity of the card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Right....gardening calls! Have a lovely day, whatever you're doing!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm here to share a sweet little card I made using a new sneak peek stamp set! And what's more, it is one you can get for free! (more about that later...)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here is the card...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IT_DY4u0pp8/VzzTj-QBC_I/AAAAAAAB5eg/lnx5jxQYnGgbuZxe0wMbtTQqHn705YVagCLcB/s1600/IMG_7848.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IT_DY4u0pp8/VzzTj-QBC_I/AAAAAAAB5eg/lnx5jxQYnGgbuZxe0wMbtTQqHn705YVagCLcB/s400/IMG_7848.png" width="281" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This super cute stamp set is called Love You Lots and it will be available from 1st June....isn't this one adorable?? I stamped them in black, coloured them with Smoky Slate and Basic Gray, then fussy cut them out. I paper pierced the card blank using the retiring Updated Paper Piercing Essentials pack.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ICBeU8tgrOw/VzzTmgWs0MI/AAAAAAAB5ek/wvNOrryLYaQm0DKYtS9Qacj9SfF9okgNQCLcB/s1600/IMG_7845.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ICBeU8tgrOw/VzzTmgWs0MI/AAAAAAAB5ek/wvNOrryLYaQm0DKYtS9Qacj9SfF9okgNQCLcB/s400/IMG_7845.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also used some upcoming new framelits, Sweet Sassy Framelits, to die cut the heart out of Sweet Sugarplum, one of the brand new In Colors... I love this sweetheart shaped heart don't you?? There are lots of hearts Framelits in the set, in two different styles. I particularly like this one though as it matches the current Sweetheart Punch. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The new products are all available from 1st June, but sadly, the Paper Piercing sets will no longer be available after then so grab yours now if you still want one. The Piercing Mat is also going so why not grab one of those at the same time? :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh and how can you get this gorgeous stamp set for free I hear you ask? Lucky for you it is one of the hostess stamp sets, so you will be able to choose this free with any order or workshop over £150, so why not get a few friends together and see what they would like from the catalogue, then place your order and bingo! Freebies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll leave you with that thought and wish you a fab day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">See you soon!</span></div>
