Time is Running Out....

If you want to enter for my blog candy, all you have to do is enter a card using my Sketch here

Well I have been making some more cards, but only another 3 which means I have six of these card blanks left, so will have to make some more in these colours tomorrow... hope you are not getting too bored of them, but I do love the colours.

These were all made using the same colours as yesterday, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron. The Patterned Paper is Haiku... The front of the card was made using the Stampin' Up! cardstock flowers, the gems were from my stash and the Thanks was from the Thank You Kindly Stamp Set. The scallops were cut using the Scallop Edge Punch...

The front of the card was Stamped with Pumpkin Pie Ink using the Bella's Bloom Stamp Set, I then added gems from my stash to the middle of the flowers. I used the Scallop Circle Punch to cut the Scallop Circle and the sentiment is from the Pocket Silhouettes Stamp Set. Same Cardstock and Patterned Paper as before.

Same Cardstock and Patterned Paper as before, the sentiment on the front is from the True Friend Stamp Set and I used my Nestabilities dies to cut out the shapes, the ribbon is Always Artichoke... again the gems are from my stash. The inside was again cut using the nestabilities dies and the Stamped Image is from A Beautiful Thing Stamp Set.

To all the people who are waiting on Stampin' Up! stash, I posted your orders out to you this afternoon, so they are winging their way to you as we speak. To anyone who would like to place an order, please e-mail me at LindaLloyd@gmx.net.

My son was playing in a BasketBall Tournament this afternoon and I need to pick him up from school soon, wonder if they won or not...

Have a great evening everyone, take care xx

Not all Stampin Up...

but I have used a wonderful Stampin Up set called True Friend....

The paper is by Crate Paper, and the little frill I made using one of my Martha Stewart punches. The little metal hardware tag is from the Stampin Up Hodgepodge Hardware which is still on sale but has retired so if you want this set which contains 138 little metal embellishments, contact me on LindaLloyd@gmx.net for more information. The little embellishment was originally silver but I embossed it with white embossing powder to match the card...

Have a good day all

Getting too excited about the new catalogue, so had to make something...

So I am so excited about the new catalogue I just had to make something else using another of the new sets, this is the first time I have done this so it isn't quite exactly how I wanted it, but hopefully will get better with practice.

I stamped the flower image from True Friend stamp set onto some tissue paper and then melted it into a candle, then decorated with a brad and some ribbon and made a little holder to stand it in so I could package it nicely....

For this I used the True Friend Stamp Set, stamped with Sage Shadow and Pale Plum with Bravo Burgundy ribbon and cardstock, also a brad from the Rich Regals pot...

I also made a card using the Carte Postale Stamp Set.... here goes..

For this I used Always Artichoke, and Very Vanilla Cardstock, image stamped using Always Artichoke ink using Carte Postale Stamp Set plus the retired hostess set Welcoming Words, plus Always Artichoke Brads, the paper used was the Le Jardin Patterned Paper, the ribbon was the Very Vanilla Grosgrain.

So getting closer to the new catalogue, I think I have 2 left to be reserved with the £2.50 voucher to take off of any order over £30.00.

If you would like to become a Stampin Up Demonstrator, either to sell at your clubs, at workshops or purely to buy your own items at a discount, I am currently giving to you a free stamp set of your choice from the new catalogue no matter what the price... this is on top of the great bargain starter kit you will be getting for £155 (a really great saving on this), plus sign up in September and you get 8 of the old catalogues plus 8 of the new catalogues included in your Starter Set. Email me at LindaLloyd@gmx.net for more details.

Have a good evening all xx
