Less is more & a sneek peek

Hello, sorry I have been a very bad blogger this week, I have had the flu, and my little girl has also been quite poorly!  I made this first card on Sunday for the Less is more challenge, I don't know if it counts, as the flower has a stem, which is outside the format, but as I saw some other truly amazing creations with bits hanging down, I could not resist trying! lol

The stamp is from one of Stampin Ups new hostess sets called Simply Soft, this is a gorgeous two step stampin set.  I have also used the new in colours lucky limeade and island indigo, the sentiment is from the trendy trees set.  I coloured the image with a blender pen, and used the named in colour ink pads. I could not resist adding some dazzling diamonds to finish.

The new catalogue is released tomorrow, and is packed full of loveliness, if you would like something from it, please get in touch. x

Flowery thank you.

Firstly I would just like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has visited and left comments on my blog, I am very grateful, I will get round to you all I promise.  Unfortunately I have been all work and no play in recent days, but I have a few days off to look forward to next week.

Well this time next week the new Stampin Up catalogue will be live for everyone to see.  I have a good few items I cant wait to order.

Here is a quick card I made using Stampin Up rose res, and pink pirouette card.  The sentiment is from the trendy trees set.  If you have not seen these sparkly gems from Stampin Up in real life - you need to, they are sooooooooooooo yummy and sparkly.

Daisy Daisy

Evening, earlier I decided I wanted to make a card using Stampin Up Flower Daisies die, and my new scallop circle die.

I folded the scallop circle in half, cut out some daisy's and curled the petals.  I added a little butterfly (this embosslit die is gona be a regular feature me thinks! lol) then I added a sparkly gem stone.

Rainbow Butterfly

It's another wet, cold, soggy afternoon here in Somerset, I can see the heating going on soon.  Fed up with the dull grey sky, I decided to make a card using rainbow colours, and here is what I came up with.

All the products are Stampin' Up!  The sparkly gems are sooooooooooo pretty, in real life they are absolutly stunning and well worth the pennies! I used the sizzix Beautiful Butterflies emboslit (already a fav), the sentiment is from the current mini cataloge hostess set.

I still have a couple of spaces in the next marker share, and spaces available in the next Stampers 10 group.

I am taking names down for the new year where I will have new Stampers 6/8/10 groups starting.  If you would like to be in one of the groups, receive free goodies without the hassle of hosing your own party, please get in touch. x

Before I start, would you like to be a virtual hostess, enjoy the perks of hosting a party, without having the party?  Earn £25.00 in hostess pounds to spend on anything you like from the Stampin Up catalogue?  I have 2 spaces left in the second Stampin Up! marker pen and card share, if you would like a space please contact me for more details. 

Onto today's post, here is a card I made for my cousin.  Yes he's a boy! lol  All the papers are from the designer series paper stack, the lighter colour is tempting turquoise from the brights stack, and the darker one is night of navy from the regals collection.  I made a rosette, I created the scalloped edge with the Stalloped edge punch, and used one of the stamps from the circle circus stamp set, cut it out with a circle punch and mounted it onto night of navy card stock, which was also created using a circle punch.  The sentiment is from the curly sentiments set. I love this set, I have used it loads already, and I've only had it a couple of weeks.
