Happy Mother's Day with Stampin' Up! Tasty Trucks!

Hi all

I've had a lovely Mother's Day so far which started with freshly baked pastries, chocolates, flowers and a card from my two boys. My hubby cooked a yummy roast dinner and I'm sitting with a full heart and full tummy!

This is the card I made for my Mum using the Tasty Trucks stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration line up. You only have until Friday 31 March to earn this FREE with a £45 spend.

The image was stamped in Memento black ink and coloured with the oh so wonderful watercolour pencils.

Wink of Stella and Dazzling details added some sparkle to the project.

Happy Home

Hi all

I'm bidding a fond farewell to one of my favourite stamp sets, Happy Home, with today's project. It's retiring at the end of the month but it's still available in my online store both as a stamp set on it's own or as a bundle price with the Hearth and Home framelits. You'll save 15% on the total price if you purchase the bundle.

I made a birthday card for a male friend, you could easily make it more feminine by adding some ribbon or flowers.

The banner shape is a sneak peek :) it's coming very soon! The new catalogue launches 1 June and I'll be adding the link on here but if you'd like me to send you a paper copy just let me know and I'll mail one out to you.

Teenage birthday wishes - Stampin' Up!

Hi all

Can't believe that my little Nephew (who is in fact taller than me!) is going to be 13 this week. Obviously that calls for a card. He always opens his cards from me with a 'I hope this is handmade' Well of course!

Here's how to make it:

• Create a standard A6 card from Smoky Slate card 
• Score the front panel in half and fold back, creasing the fold with a bone folder
• Cut a piece of DSP to fit the front panel then use the other side for the inside of the card 10x14.5cm
• Cut 2 circles using circles framelits one from Whisper White and the other Bermuda Bay
• Stamp candles in Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush then the flame in Daffodil delight. I find using a piercing mat under your card will give a sharper stamped image when working with photopolymer stamps.
• Cut the 13 from Cucumber Crush using File Tabs die and glue with fine line of Multi Purpose Liquid Glue
• Put Glue on Bermuda Bay circle on half the circle and glue to front panel
• Add the stamped circle with dimensionals
• Stamp Birthday Wishes in Cucumber Crush trim to size and create fishtail ends with Paper Snips, adhere to stamped image with dimensionals

I glued a piece of Whisper white on the back to add my message and stamped greeting.
