Lovin' the new catalogue!

So I arrived home to a massive box of goodies from the new catalogue...SO EXCITING!

I was so happy to get a chance to sit down today and have a little play. I'm finding it harder and harder to get time to sit down to stamp with 3 little ones but I use it as my motivation to get through the jobs quickly so I can reward myself with some stamping time when they're in bed!

 

This card uses some great new supples from Stampin' Up! I randomly stamped the Tape It and Gorgeous Grunge in Bermuda bay, crushed curry and strawberry slush (loving how these new colours look together!) I stamped the cute sentiment from Chalk Talk in whisper white cardstock and then used the coordinating Chalk Talk dies to cut it out using the big shot. I tied some new crushed curry ribbon on top and layered it on top of a thin strip of strawberry slush cardstock. What do you think?

Stamps: Chalk Talk, Tape It, Gorgeous Grunge

Ink: Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush & Whisper White

Strawberry Slush reminds me of summer!

I absolutely LOVE Stampin Up's new in colours! This card features the new colours strawberry slush and bermuda bay (bermuda bay is a new colour that has been incorporated into the Brights). I think these two colours were made to go with each other and remind me of summer.  We've just escaped from the chill of winter to holiday in Qld so this card fits with our holiday fun perfectly! 

Stamps: Word Play

Accessories: black and white bakers twine, whole punch, modern mosaic textured embossing folder, vintage faceted button, apothecary accents embossing folder, labels collection framelit dies  

I've also used some washi tape and sequins (non stampin up).

Cardstock: strawberry slush, bermuda bay, daffodil delight, basic black

Ink + Cardstock = beautiful card!

It never ceases to amaze me how simple it is to create such a beautiful card with Stampin Up products. Here I have just stamped the Papaya Collage set on Whisper White card stock layered on top of an embossed soft sky card.  I used the Word Play set to stamp a nice saying and then stamped and cut around the butterfly and used a stampin dimensional  to pop it out.  I've used some lace that i had lying around and sewed it on top of the card and put some twine behind the butterfly and lastly placed a vintage faceted button on top of the butterfly (these are my favorite buttons! ) 

What do you think?

Recycling old books!

I just love being able to create from recycled items. The gorgeous old paper behind the strip of vellum was ripped (gasp!) from an old book I found at an opp shop. It has really antique look to it and almost falls apart in your hands it's so old! This card was super easy and so quick to put together! So go and grab yourself an old book from the opp shop and get ripping!

welcome to the blogging world!

27th March 2013

I have just joined the blogging community and I thought I'd post some cards I've been making lately. I won't include a detailed description of each card because it would take me forever! I hope you enjoy looking at them!
