Colour combo

Well back after a lovely week of sea and sand. The posts are now going to come at least 3 times a week if not daily.
A colleague set a challenge of using a 4 colour combination. The colours are: - soft sky, soft suade, crumb cake and a splash of crushed curry. This is the card I made. Just loving the coffee cup stamp set.

I have coated the star in crystal glaze but mine is nearly at the bottom of the bottle and it is going all claggy. So thats on my next order.

Perfect Blend

Today I am off to the sunshine for a week but have scheduled posts for next week. It could be a very quiet week for my other half as my voice has completely gone! Lucky him.....

This is one of the cards we will be making on January 31st in the easy stamping class. Using all the 'in colours' its fresh and spring like. Besides who doesn't smile when they first taste that coffee in the morning?

Enjoy.

Every thing Elenor

This stamp set is beautiful. I have only just bought it and haven't used all of the stamps yet so you will see a lot more of it.
Rich Rassleberry is my favourite colour, its so lush.
The use of second stamping helps give depth and variety of colour. I have used a dry water brush  to paint  gold ink on the centre of the flowers.
Soooo pretty.

Perfect Blend

Do you start the day with one of these on the way to work? How many people do you know who do?

This is a small stamp set with 2 sentiments but the stamp of the cup is quite versatile. I have cut the lid off to prop it on the edge of the cup. I have used glimmer paper for the coffee. The glimmer paper idea I found on pintrest at polkadotsandpaper.
This is a simple card but the detail on the cup is a little fiddly. Can you smell the coffee?

SAB sneak peek

Well that time of the Stampin'Up! year is upon us. SALE A BRATION.

Some lovely items for free. This card uses 3 of the Sale-A-Bration items, Stamp set 'Banner Blast and the corresponding Punch, and one of the stamps from the Petal Parade set. I have used tangerine tango and Tempting Turquoise from the Brights. In the centre of the flowers I have used the brights dots and bakers twine to hang the banners on.
The sentiment is form Yippee Skippee, you are going to see a lot more of this.
Its fresh and vibrant unlike the weather outside! Hope you like it.

New Year - New Crafting Space

My craft room was completed about a month ago. I do need a new table and some chairs but the garden chairs are good for the moment.
I love the space and am getting better at putting things away as I've used them. How long I can keep that up for is another matter!

New years resolutions, not many...... mainly to blog at least three times a week. Please feel free to nag if I don't.

So Happy New Year and please keep visiting to see whats new in the Stampin' Up! world.

Envelope Making Board

Sorry to all my followers I haven't posted for ages but I'm back and will post at least 3 times a week from now on.
Todays offering: Stampin'up! have just introduced an envelope making board. Its a really neat piece of kit with its own scoring tool. Not only can you make envelopes in loads of sizes you can also make boxes and crackers.

The envelopes in this picture have been made with a advertising magazine as my friend was just practising with lots of different sizes.

Not sure how anyone can manage without one, contact me now to order yours. k x
