Stamp a Stack CASED card

Hello there and Happy Friday to you! Today I am really excited as this is the first Friday night that I will have been in since August! Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE doing workshops and parties and classes on Friday nights (they work really well for me and my customers) but I am so ready for a Friday off!!! Talking of workshops and parties I do have a few dates left for Sale-A-Bration in Jan/Feb/March so please do check my Host a Party page at the top of my blog. 

So this is one of the cards we made at last Fridays Stamp a Stack. This was CASED from my lovely downline Sally Jo from a swap she gave us back in July at our training! Thank you Sally Jo.

The last Mosaic…….

…….. for now!

Hello there, more Mosaics for you today! This one was totally CASED from a card I saw on Pinterest. 

I used a piece of the Quatrefancy speciality papers for the window sheet. The colours are Crisp Cantaloupe and Early Espresso with a hint of Baked Brown Sugar

I love the Early Espresso bakers twine. Its adds a little extra something for not much money - £2.50 for a full pack.

Because the window sheet is see through I needed to stamp additional mosaics to add to the backs!

Card – Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White

Papers – Quatrefancy Speciality

Stamps – Mosaic Madness, Fabulous Phrases

Embellishments – Bakers Twine, Rhinestones

Tools – Mosaic Punch

Mediums – Crisp Cantaloupe ink, Early Espresso ink, Baked Brown Sugar ink

More Mosaics

As promised here I am with More Mosaics on Monday!! 

This card took a little but more time as I had to used the Stamp a ma Jig to line up the stamps! It was worth it as I like the effect it creates.

The 2 colours used on this are Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding and the sentiment from Label Love! I think I have got label love as I am loving this new sentiment set and matching punch! I like the shape and like how you can layer it up to create a border.

Just a quicky from me today! Loads to do as the boys are back to school 2 weeks today!

Mosaic Madness back in stock!

Hey there. Today is the start of a few posts about Mosaic Madness! This was one set with matching punch that I got completely for FREE from Stampin Up as part of the Career Plan. I love getting these bundles as I am not sure if this set is one I would have purchased for myself! Ironically it is one I have used the most and I have loved playing around with the stamps, punch and embossing folder! I have to admit that I haven't been sharing these projects as the lovely punch has been out of stock for some time but I am happy to say it's now back in stock - for how long? It's up to you!!

I embossed the card blank which was Coastal Cabana and then added a tag and some of my fave Crumb Cake Seam Binding ribbon. I also used the Hostess set, Banner Greetings which I love!

The other colours used were Strawberry Slush and Baked Brown Sugar!

Hope you like, will be back with more mosaics tomorrow!

Loving the Mosaic!

Hello there! What a fab night I had last night! I went to see Priscilla, Queen of the Desert at Leeds Grand Theatre starring Jason Donovan! I have always been a  huge Jason fan ever since his Neighbours days and I am also a big fan of the Priscilla film too! The perfect night then! Even more perfect was that I got to meet Jason (very briefly) and got his autograph!

I am sharing yet another Mosaic Madness card today! I was lucky to get this product suite for free from Stampin Up and I wasn't sure "if it was me" and whether I would use it much!! Talk about a u-turn! Think I have used it loads so far, probably the most used set I have from the new catalogue so far!

Bermuda Bay is the hot new colour, teamed here with Crumb Cake and Crushed Curry.

Inside got a little action too!

Sorry for the really quick post, I will be spending the morning stalking my front door for the new big box of Stampin' Up! goodies that is due!!!

Stamp a Stacker!

Good Afternoon! I am late posting today as Evan and I had a dance lesson at 8.30 this morning!! Had to be up and off in our dancing gear for 8am, which was quite a task!

Last night I held a lovely Stamp a Stack event and we made cards using all new things and colours from the new catalogue - it's out on Tuesday!!

So here is the first one to share with you. I think this was the hardest card of the evening!.

I have been enjoying making cards with the Mosaic Madness set, embossing folder and punch. Love the co-ordination and also the new colours of Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay and Baked Brown Sugar that I have used on here.

The sentiment is from Delightful Dozen.

It's a busy time of year and I have LOTS of events coming up. As well as my craft retreat - www.paperhavenretreats.blogspot.co.uk

More Mosaic Madness

Hello there! I'm busy busy today. I have Lucy's workshop tonight - she has 18 ladies attending! Surprisingly I am all packed and ready to go for tonight so I am working on my projects for tomorrow nights Stamp a Stack and Saturdays Technique Club - it's all go!

Another Mosaic Madness card for you today. Again I have used some of the new In Colours for 2013-2015. The card base is Crisp Cataloupe which I have embossed with the Mosaic embossing folder. I then got very friendly with the Stamp a ma Jig and created a background pattern with the mosaic stamp. The colours used for this were Coastal Cabana, Baked Brown Sugar and Strawberry Slush.

Again the sentiment is from Label Love with the matching Artisan Label punch (which I am loving!)

I layered up the punch by punching a couple more out and then added some flowers from the Itty Bitty punches.

Right thats me off for the day, have a fun day all!
