Used the morning post alphabet to put his name on and just a tiny bit of bling


The colours in the card matched the cupcakes we also made as a  surprise.

Wedding card take 2!!

Helloooo crafters

This is my card to the happy couple to match their wedding colours. its the same as the one i made last week and my inspiration was a card from my SU mummy click this to go to her fantastic blog.



I used a base card of crmb cake to break up all the pink i seem to be doing and adding very vanilla too.


The heart is silver embossed and from the You are loved stamp set and i printed the happy couples details and punched out with decorative label

I even stamped a little bit around the corners of the inside.

I cant wait to put it in the lovely post box i made for them too

The bride wanted large butterflies with the table names to match her table plan so you know which table is which. melon mambo of course and very vanilla and put some small gems on to finish them off.

CAS Wedding

Hi crafters

Happy thrursday to you all

Today i want to show you my version of a fabulous wedding card made by my upline Julie - i needed a wow card for my parents friends who get married tomorow.

Good luck guys :0)



I used the You are Loved stamp set in bashful blue - will be sad to see this go! along with crumb cake and very vanilla. The heart is embossed in gold and the happy couples detrails added so they can have it as a keepsake too.



Its a gatefold card and the ribbon fastens it at the side and as Julie did i did a little stamping inside and finished with pearls for a classy effect.


Thankyou for the inspirations as always Jules - you can see her version HERE

Happiness



Hi crafters

Well the week is flying by...soon be the weekend again and aiming for a restful one?!!

This is another fantabulous 'make n take' from Telford...a lovely little box with tiny cards inside. Again using the Clockworks set this is a lovely set and would be easy to reporduce in many different colourways :0)



This one is using calpso coral, gumball green,and pool party...i must of got it right with my swaps as those are the colours i used!!



These little cards are so cute and so simple to make...literally 4 stamps and away you go!!

I love the green Dahlia at the centre to the flower and the flower is really given dimension by snipping between two petals and overlapping them.

Just in case i forget who I am...


Hi crafters!

Heres the name badge i made for Telford...it was a little bigger than i wanted but i didnt have any smaller alphabets to use :0)


I used the up, up and away stamp set in calypso coral and pool party to match the colours i used in my swaps, the alphabet is Morning Post set which i really like at the minute...am finding any excuse to label things!!

Quick one from me today

Telford Swaps!!


Hi all

Well i failed in my task of blogging every day for a month but i do have good reason...i was crafting and got carried away!!

Ive been busy making swaps for Stampin' Up! regional event at Telford yesterday and had over 300 little bits to handcut out...very time consuming as you can imagine.

Well here is the swap i made...



using the Happy Hour stamp set.
I handcut each glass, orange/lemon slice and straws as well the banners etc

I made lots of these and want to thank all the people that swapped with me.



I have a fantastic day and even won a prize patrol but cant show you that as from the new catalogue ...ooooo i hear you say!! Well let me tell ya i had to dance 'gangam style' to get it too but I GOT IT!!!

Lastly its always nice to put a face to a voice who has helped you lots and had to have my piccie taken with Chris from Demo Support - he is lovely and such a great help.


Thankyou to all the people involved yesterday and especially Stampin' Up! for making this a great job/hobby!!!

Ta Dah!!

Good Evening crafters

Another late post from me today...really can not wait for this week to end and have 3 days off work, been sooo busy!!

Here is my version of a wedding exploding box...I seem to go through phases of these and yet another one at present but then suppose wedding season is upon us with more people getting married through the sunnier months :0)



I used SU pearls on the butterflys and a few on the roses at the top but this is certainly a WOW keepsake!!



I just love how elegant the cake looks...and at least i can make a 'paper cake' as certainly can not make one in the kitchen, am hopeless at cooking.

Thats all for today happy crafting
