Graffiti Wall

Good Morning! I am back today with the last card from our male themed Tuesday Club for March. This card was for a "young man" and I always turn to the graffiti style wall design. Really easy to put together but this card has used a lot of different stamp sets for the greetings as I feel it's important to have a mix of fonts on the wall!

To create this design you do all your stamping first on a piece of thick Whisper White card and then you gently ink one side of the brick wall emboss folder and run it through the Big Shot.

It then creates the most amazing texture and authentic graffiti wall! Really easy, flat for postage too!

Inside the card also got a little bit of stamping love too!

There are now only 9 days left of Sale-A-Bration, I really cannot believe how quickly it has gone by. Please don't miss out on free goodies with a spend of £45 or more before the end of March.

Claire's 40th Birthday

Morning! Something new to share today! I cannot add the new products to the part at the bottom so I have left them all off as I am still battling on with Evan's laptop whilst mine is at the laptop hospital.

 

On Sunday my sister turned 40 and we had her children for the weekend so she could enjoy a trip to London with her husband and friends. This was our gift to Claire for her birthday, 2 days and 2 nights of being child free whilst we cared for them, along with the assistance of my Mum and Dad. I must admit I slept well on Sunday night after 2 nights of having a 2 year old in our room.

 I made Claire's card with some new products from the upcoming Spring/Summer Catalogue which is live on 5th January and I am loving all the new things. Most of my December will be filled with plans for the new products and my new events. I kept the stamping simple and made a feature of the 40. The papers are new as is the little flower stamp behind the 40 and the gorgeous Blushing Bride Glimmer paper.

 In case you are wondering why I wasted so much Glimmer paper , I didn't! I just created a frame and cut out a square of glimmer paper to use on other projects.

I think Claire liked her card and I know they had a great weekend.

Celebrating Mollie’s 2nd Birthday

Yesterday was a very special day as it was my lovely niece’s birthday. I’ve called her Miss Mollie since she was born and I don’t think I will stop calling her that until she is 18! Of course a special card was in order and I made this last week when my pre-order of the new Spring Summer products arrived. So I am giving you a little sneak peek of just a couple of new things as they are not available until 5th January so I don’t want to get you too excited (yet!)

The papers are from a gorgeous new 12x12 paper stack which has some fab party and birthday designs and the  Happy Birthday is also from a new stamp set. It’s a design you have seen many times before and I do have a video on how to make this which I will pop towards the end of this post.

The colour combo is Mint Macaron, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight which I think is quite marvellous together and perfect for a little girl, or even a big girl!

Here is a little video on how you could make your own ti-fold card.

Just a week left of this months Hostess Code so if you would like a little gift in December please use the code when placing an order between £25 and £150 on my Online Store.

Onstage Team Gifts

This time last week I was on the wrong train to Manchester Airport on the way to Onstage Live in Brussels! It’s funny to think about it now but at the time it was a bit stressful! Today I am sharing the little gifts I made for my team as part of a Team Swap we did. There were only 5 of us there this team, small but mighty! 

I made these wooden heart plaques featuring the Typeset DSP and the Birthday Blossoms stamp set and I enjoyed a lot of watercolouring! The photos aren’t particularly amazing today as I ended up taking these on my phone the night before I left.

 I packaged them up in a cello bag with a personalised tag with my girls initials, using the Larger than Life stamp set that is on offer at the moment with 20% off! I really enjoyed making them, made another welcome change from Christmas things.

So a few reminders for you! Click on the photos for all the details

Another Graffiti Card

Hello there! I’m back with ANOTHER graffiti style wall card for you today. This is one we made at my October Stamp a Stack about 3 weeks ago. I was very organised and thought I would make it as a Brother card to Evan from Ross. 

Two items used on this card are part of the 20% off stamp sets until Friday. You can find out more by clicking on the button at the end of my post. Also Stampin UP have announced which items will be retiring from our Autumn/Winter catalogue so they will only be available for a few more weeks.

 I think I have made 5 cards like this now, it’s my go to design for teenage cards at the moment!

Here are all the details of the 20% off and the Retirement List, just click on the photo to be taken to the PDF file.

60th Birthday Card

Good Morning to you. Today is our last day in Brussels and I will be home tonight with my lovely family, can’t wait to see them all. One of my lovely ladies and customers was 60 last week and I made this card for her.

I used the Birthday Blossoms stamp set and yes I have used the Larger than Life Alphabet set AGAIN! Quite a simple card to make but it looks really effective I think, don’t you?

I really really enjoyed making this for Lynda, another welcome break from the Christmas cards!

Hope you like it, the ladies at class and Lynda all loved it

Evan’s 13th Birthday Card

Yesterday my “little” boy was 13 years old. I am currently in Brussels so for the first time ever I am missing one of my children’s birthdays! Yes, I feel like a bad Mum but we were celebrating for 3 days before I left for Brussels. I had to be super organised and get Evan’s cards made last week.

I went for a large box frame card designed by my lovely downline Amanda and I can whip these up fairly quickly now. Once you get the basic base made it’s then the decoration that then takes the time.

I went for colours of Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Real Red with a hint of Basic Grey and I used the Celebrate Today for the balloons. The ever useful Larger than Life alphabet is so so useful for cards of this nature and it’s had a lot of use this past week.

 Hopefully Evan liked his card as at the time of writing this post he hadn’t received it yet!
