Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and great new year. We had a quiet new year at home which was kinda nice for a change. Being as I'm not drinking at the moment with splodge on the way meant I wasn't the designated driver either! Here is a card I did a while ago for a girl at work for her mum.

This was for LS247 which was to make a long and tall card. Here is what I used:

Stamps: Butterfly Prints, Bloomin' With Beauty, Wonderful Favourites

Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Bella Rose DSP, Watercolour Paper

Ink: Staz-On Black, Riding Hood Red

Accessories: Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon, Pearls from Pretties Kit, Butterfly Punch, Blender Pen and Markers, Cricut

Don't forget the inventory sale is still on so click on the link on the right to see the list. Happy stamping!

Christmas is Coming and Some Super Specials!

I can't believe Christmas is next week. I am madly trying to get everything done but so far am not getting very far. Some nasty migraines have been keeping me down and kept me behind schedule. Here is a Christmas Card that I did a while ago. This was for IC204 on Splitcoasters.


Here is what I used:

Stamps: Solemn Stillness (retired), Season of Joy

Paper: Whisper White, DSP from Winter Bright SSK (retired)

Ink: Ruby Red, Wild Wasabi (retired)

Accessories: Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamons, Dimensionals, Wild Wasabi Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (retired)

I stamped all the poinsettia flowers and cut them out to make the wreath popping some of them up on Dimensionals to make them pop. I put some Crystal Effects with Dazzling Diamonds in the centers for a bit of extra sparkle.

Some exciting news for you today as well. Stampin' Up! Australia are having an Inventory Sale. You can get selected stamp sets and accessories well below cost until 24th January while stocks last. I know there are a few things I will be getting. You can click here to see the complete list.

Hope you are all nearly ready for Christmas and happy stamping!

Farewell Spring Mini Catalogue

Well its the last few days of the Spring Mini Catalogue so if you really have your heart set on something get in now! I made this card for FS142 on Splitcoasters. This is the card I chose to case.

Here is what I used:

Stamps: Choo Choo, Fun & Fast Notes

Paper: Mellow Moss, So Saffron, Whisper White, Spring Flowers DSP (retired)

Ink: Mellow Moss, Basic Black

Accessories: So Saffron 1/2" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin Pastels, Corner Punch, Word Window Punch, Dimensionals, Cuttlebug and non-SU Brads

Email me if you would like to order this or anything else in the Spring Mini before it all disappears - maybe for good!

Happy Stamping

Slack Blogger!

I just realised it is nearly a month since I last blogged! Forgive me. Things have been pretty hectic and to tell the truth I have lost my creative mojo recently - must be all the pregnancy hormones. I got back into the swing of things on Sunday churning out a huge amount of chrissy cards for some girls at work. I keep selling them all though so I hope no-one expects a card from me! Here is a card I did a while ago for CAS33 on Splitcoasters. Apologies for the photo quality - a new camera is on my Christmas list.


Here is what I used:

Stamps: Basic Phrases, Live Like You Mean It (Hostess)

Paper: Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White

Ink: Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss

Accessories: Hemp Twin, Linen Thread, Button Bouquet (Kiwi Kiss), Dimensionals

I love the simplicity of clean and simple cards (CAS) sometime less is more. Well thats all from me today - promise to keep up with the blogging. There are some great new products coming in the new Summer Mini Catalogue from 1st December so watch this space!

Happy Stamping

Sunday Blues

It was such a beautiful day today that I didn't do any stamping :(, but on the plus side I got all my washing done and soaked up some vitamin D! It seems like it has been forever since the sun shined. I think because my in-laws are basking by the pool in Phuket it makes it that much worse when it rains here - I wanna be by the pool too! Anyway here is a card from the archives.

This one was from way back and was for SC231. Here is what I used:

Stamps: Pun Fun

Paper: Whisper White, Ruby Red, Unknown DP from my stash

Ink: Staz-On Black

Accessories: Markers, Blender Pen, Dimensionals
