Birthday Jems!

Today is the Birthday of two of the Jems, Lynda and Julie, and after last weeks mistake of not sending cards in time I am organised and they were sent off with plenty of time to get there!

I have used the Strength and Hope set for these cards - I am in love with the butterfly stamp its so detailed and stamps so well. I have made these cards the same but have changed a slight bit of detail - one has pearls and the other had some bling!

The bottom butterfly is sat on some branches from the Two Step Bird punch and the sentiment is from the Just Believe set

Stampin' Up are donating £1 from each purchase of the Strength and Hope Stamp set so why not treat your self and make a difference at the same time.

Training!

Yesterday I showed you my scrapbook page that I had completed through some training that Julie had set us - well today I am going to show you the different cards that we made and they all have one thing in common - they all used the BIG SHOT!

The beers have been stamped from the Cheers to You set, the blue is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder and the beers have been cut out using the Lots of Tags die

The butterflies are from The Beautiful Wings die, the green has been embossed using the Elegant Bouquet folder and the sentiment is from the Just Believe set

This has been made using the Fox and Friends stamp set. The train I belive has been made using the Decorative Label Punch (correct me if I am wrong!) and they have been cut in half and run throught the perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

This made up using two dies and an embossing folder. The papers are Spring Time Vintage and the flowers have been cut using Fun Flowers  then put on to the Top Note die which has been put through the Square Lattice embossing folder

I like this card - very simple but stunning at the same time. This is an embossing folder called Manhattan Flower and I have used the debossed side rather that the embossed side as I really liked this side better!

Right thats it for me today don't forget if you would like to learn how to do any of these projects or would like to purchase any items that you have read about then contact me at moley44@hotmail.com for a chat

Take care

1st April.....Its here!!!!

Well today is launch day for the Mini Catty!!! Its so lush!!!!

Now for one thing that has landed and is soooooo lovely.... the BIG SHOT is here! There are also so exclusive embossing folders and dies to go with it. They are all so lovely!!

Right I am going to show you two cards today made with products from the mini catty and they are both products I am in love with..

This is made using the new set called Itty Bitty Bits and the Punch Pack that goes with it (the' hello' is from Hello Again). I have used the brights collection for the ink of the stamps and added alittle bit of bling - very simple but very effective!

For this card I have also stuck with the brights collection but I have used an Embosslits Die called Beautiful Wings for the big shot to creat the butterflys - this little die not only cuts out the butterflys but embosses it as well - I have to say I was very impressed with how crisp they came out looking! The sentiment is from the Just Believe set and again I have finished it off with some bling!

If anyone would like a copy of the new Mini Catty then please get in touch with me at moley44@hotmail.com

I have to just say sorry for my photos they aren't great but I have put the card to my camara somewhere so have had to use my phone!!

Promise I will be back soon and not leave it so long again!

Just Believe!

Quick stop today as I have so much too do! Mark is pulling the kitchen apart so there is dust everywhere (he didn't listen when I said put down dust sheets it will help!) and we have a new fridge/freezer coming tonight (well second hand but its new for us!) so have to sort that all out - very boring but guess I have to get on with it!!

Well I finally got around to making a card with the Just Believe set that came with my demo kit - had to force myself to put the owl down!! I stamped everything out for this card but then couldn't work out how I wanted to put it together after 5mins of thinking I am just gonna throw it out the window this is what I came up with!!
