Colour challenge over on Stamp With Us.

The challenge this fortnight was to take inspiration from the colour in this picture.

How cute are they btw, I want some!!

I used the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set, I thought I might as well seeing as those cupcakes are so cute!

I used the eyelet border punch too, punched a strip of card stock and then snipped up from the flat edge so I could manipulate it around a circle.

Why not give it a try?

Check out the other cards from the design team on Stamp With Us.

take care.

Love you much!

Hi everyone, hope your week is going well so far.

I've been shopping and got in a load of sweets and chocolate for my valentine's gifts and general treats, and it is taking ALL my willpower not to have a nibble....

Today I want to share with you a cute little card that I'll be giving to my close girl friends and girl family members.

I've used one of the Love Notes and stamped the heart from the Love You Much stamp set then picked out a few details with my white gel pen.


*Happy Accident time*

Now, you'll notice the 'you' coming from behind the heart... I'd love to say it was done on purpose but it wasn't lol. I stamped the 'Love (heart) you' sentiment from Sealed with a kiss and planned on having some punched out hearts scattered around but changed my mind last minute and covered the first part of the wording with the big heart from the Love You Much set.... and I like!


I then went around the whole card with some faux stitching with one of the Stampin' Markers and had a go at doing the eyelet border which I think looks fab, will have to try it more often! Reminds me of pretty lace.



I got to use my Hearts 'o plenty wheel for the trillionth time too, I *heart* it. (Geddit? lol)

Will hopefully get a chance to share the valentine's treats I've made to go with them soon (full of the chocolate and sweets I WILL resist) - well, if I say it over and over it might come true...

Thanks for stopping by,
take care.

2nd easel card...

... means that my Mini blog series is officially under way!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I've enjoyed my new little challenge - don't forget to bookmark and come back on Monday for the final easel card.

So, the second easel card I made is for my friend Michelle, who's birthday is coming up. Happy Birthday sweetie x

I love this stamp set sooo much, you can do a lot with cupcakes {a not just eat them!!}

I decided to use a strip of regal rose with the eyelet border punch instead of a full mat and layer, I like! Think it adds just a little bit more interest. What do you think?

I'm up for trying out new ideas as I tend to stick to the 'norm'.

Now, don't forget about the Christmas extravaganza offer Stampin' Up! are offering at the moment up to the 29th of December. Spend £45 or more on the supplies in the leaflet and receive a free tag punch! Now that's my favourite price !
