Leftovers for Dad!

Hello everyone!

As I type this I am all set for my Friday craft class, and I have another new lady to welcome to it! I can't wait!

This is one of the cards we made last night, using up a couple of leftover stars from the card I blogged on Thursday, which was also one of our class cards.

Can you spot the leftovers? Yup, the stars! I have a horrible habit of leaving useful bits on my desk with the intention of using them, then never get round to it, so I am trying to stop that by using them straight away! The stars were die cut using Stars Framelits and were added to the panel after I wrapped a piece of Chevron Ribbon around it.

The sentiment is another 'half/half'...the 'Happy' is from Celebrate today, and I created the banner by stamping onto a strip on card, then punching one end with the Bitty Banner punch, and the 'Father's Day' is from Crazy About You. Both are stamped in Chocolate Chip and I finished with a Choc Chip Candy Dot.

I am quite pleased how well I am getting on with my Father's Day bits...I have some notebooks to share later this week too!

Have a lovely Saturday, and I may be back tomorrow with the last of the 3 cards we made last night in class.

Stars for Dad!

Good afternoon!

Today I'm here with my DT card for CAS-Colours and Sketches, and this month it's Stef's turn to play hostess! She has started with this lovely colour combo...

I decided that this combination would make a great 'man card' so I used it for a Father's Day card...

I used stars because let's face it, all Dad's are stars aren't they?! I used Stars Framelits to cut the apertures in the top layer, then added different DSP's from the colour family paperstacks.

I then used one of the die cut stars and added a sentiment banner from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and finished with a Candy Dot.

This is a very cool colour combo...what will you do with it?

Bright and Beautiful stars

Good evening everyone!

A late post from me, but I have another Christmas card to show you...yes I know, Christmas is gone, in fact I took my decorations down tonight, but I really do love this stamp set and I wanted to share...I hope you don't mind?

I used the stunning Bright and Beautiful stamps, stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in Gold and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Emboss Powders.

I used Gold Sequin Trim and Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding to 'hang' the decoration on the card. 

These stamps are still available on my online shop until Tuesday...so grab them now while you can!

Yesterday I mentioned that there would be some exciting things happening with Stampin' Up! soon....well one of them is the brand new Spring/Summer catalogue which will be available to order from on.......

TUESDAY 6th JANUARY!!

How exciting is that?! So it really is the last chance to get your Autumn/Winter items. 

I'll be back tomorrow with more news ;)

Stars of Joy

Good morning!

Well today life finally gets back to normal! Keiran goes back to school and routine will be restored! Hopefully that will mean I get to craft and blog more!

Today I want to show you something I made using the lovely Star Framelits and a die from the Wondrous Wreath framelits.

I embossed the Cherry Cobbler star with the new Lucky Stars Embossing folder, and added the Champagne Glimmer Paper star. 

I added the Very Vanilla 'Joy', die cut from Wondrous Wreath and finished with a Basic Rhinestone, coloured with a Cherry Cobbler Blendie.

I love this colour combo...it's classic with a modern twist...lovely!

Have a lovely day today, and I'll be back tomorrow with a little gift I made for my fella Mike :)
