Did I tell you I was published???

Cant believe I forgot to tell you all... lol. I was published in the September Edition of Craft Stamper, it was for a Challenge, I was given a colourway and sketch and had to make a card along those lines and here it is....

I used Really Rust and More Mustard cardstock from Stampin Up and the Garden Whimsey Stamp Set. The punch is from Martha Stewart and the flower punch was x-cut I think. the brads are also Stampin Up and the card itself was cut using my cricut.... the article in the magazine is below...


I was so thrilled to be asked to enter this challenge, thank you Katie for giving me this chance.

Have a great day all, take care xx

Gift Vouchers.......

Just wanted to show you what I had made.... I am now selling Gift Vouchers for Stampin' Up! in values of £5, and if you buy £30 of gift vouchers from me before Sunday 14 December I will throw in an extra £5 voucher for FREE and they will come in a gift folder like this one...





It wont be identical, but similar, plus if you order before Midnight Sunday 16th November I will post it to you for FREE saving you £1 in P&P. These vouchers are reedemable only through me until the end of April, so plenty of time to browse the catalogue and pick what you want.

I am also offering free P&P on anything from the new catalogue as long as you order before Midnight Sunday, and you will get 20% off 12 x 12 textured cardstock (which is very similar to Bazzill only much cheaper) and 20% off of Rub-ons also.... see my post below for more details.

I have also made this card, I used all Stampin' Up! stash for it...

I used Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White cardstock and I used the Designer Patterned Paper in Pumpkin Pie, and there is a sample of 8 of the 12 different ones you get in a pack... the image is from Garden Whimsey, and I coloured it in in Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Chip using the Stampin' Write Markers... If you are interested in collecting all the Stampin' Write Markers, plus all 4 sets of the Ink Spots for only £45 a month for 4 months (including postage), check out my link above the posts that says CLUBS... during the 4 months the club runs you will get the awesome storage for the Stampin' Write Markers, plus each month someone is a virtual hostess and will receive a free Hostess Stamp Set plus £15 of free goodies...

I will be back tomorrow with another Stampin' Up! card, plus I am working hard hoping to start my 12 Gifts of Christmas within the next week... so keep checking back.

Have a good evening all xx

Been Playing Today.....

Yep my new stamp sets turned up yesterday so I have had a little play today, nothing much as I had a card order to finish, but have finally finished my nearly 70 cards and will be concentrating solely on Stampin Up stuff this week... including some blog candy, so watch this space.



So this is what I have been making...



Crazy For Cupcakes stamp set, normally £20.95, but if you spend over £20 in the new catalogue you can have it for £16.76 and if you spend over £20 in the new catalogue before Noon tomorrow you can have this stamp set for £14.67, cant be bad... I also used the new Patterned Paper set Tea and Crumpets and the Grosgrain ribbon in Regal Rose, the flower was made using the scallop punch and due to the nature of the sentiment, Happy Unbirthday, that was computer generated, plus I used Pretty in Pink Brad and Always Artichoke cardstock.... voila..

This only uses a new Stamp Set called Garden Whimsey this set normally costs £22.95 but if you buy it before noon tomorrow it will only cost you £20.66, the ribbon is Real Red Grosgrain also from Stampin Up and the cardstock is Real Red too, but the paper is not Stampin Up, I am trying to use up my huge pile of patterned paper.

My little grandson came round yesterday and enjoyed rolling around my bedroom floor, I am trying to introduce him to the joys of Stampin Up, I am sure he will be well into it when he gets a bit older, all those inks and things!!

It is my daughters 21st birthday on Monday and I haven't even got round to making her a card yet, but she is out tomorrow afternoon and so will have an opportunity after we have been geo-caching to make one for her.... funny but just before she was 18 we asked her which birthday she wanted to be her important one, her 18th or 21st and she said 18, now she is telling everyone her 21st is her most important birthday.... lol thats children for you...

Have a good evening all, hope to be back tomorrow...
