Love and Affection with added ribbon!

Hello there, good morning and welcome to my blog today. I hope you enjoyed my last post sharing my latest Project Life page with you. Today's share is an upgrade of a card I shared on Saturday with you and the one I am sharing today is one my ladies made at Coffee and Card last Tuesday.

I have used the gorgeous new Pool Party Satin ribbon which I think has to be my favourite from the new catalogue. Pool Party is of course one of my fave colours and this style of ribbon does tie a nice bow, and you know I love my bows!

This card got a lot of attention and affection at a Stampin Up Party I ran last night for Valerie and it was a popular stamp set on people's order forms.

See you tomorrow!

Simple card for a friend

Hello there and happy Saturday to you. This week has been a bit manic for me, in the nicest possible way manic can be. I have had 4 events at the studio so far with another one today with some members of my lovely team. Sunday will most certainly be a day of rest (and probably housework).

Today I am sharing a simple one layer-ish card which is perfect for sending in the post. I have used the Love and Affection stamp set and I love the little sentiment in it that says "Sending a smile your way". I think it's just lovely and covers a lot of occasions where someone just needs to know you are thinking about them and this was most certainly the case for my friend who received this.

I do love a bit of watercoloring and the large flower in this stamp set is perfect for just that. I've listed all the colours that I used at the end of this post.

 I'll be back tomorrow with another version of this one!

 Fancy joining my team? Great deal for June, 2 free stamp sets of ANY value!

Love and Affection for Team Training

Hello there and welcome back to my blog today. Today I wanted to share the projects we made at training this week. I run regular monthly trainings for our team and it's a great way to get together, catch up on all the Stampin' Up! news and of course do some crafting. I'd been struggling with the Love and Affection set but after a quick browse through Pinterest I stumbled upon this amazing project by Helene den Breejen, you can find Helene's design HERE . Helene used the Mini Treatlits bag to create the pocket of the card but I choose to make my own from an A5 piece of card.

I just love this colour combo of Pool Party, So Saffron, Pear Pizazz, Rose Red and Flirty Flamingo. It's just got such a summery feel to it, I really enjoyed making these projects. 

 We also made a little tag to go with our fancy card.

Here are all our makes together, I definitely think I will use this colour combo again.
