Fathers Day

Fathers day isn't that far away so I have made a start on some cards.

I have used the trendy trees stamp to make the background and some designer paper to make the shirt. I have used a sentiment from a non SU set and the card its mounted on isn't SU either

Heres it in a different colour way

I am going to be selling these  on my stall at Plym Valley Railway, Plympton, Plymouth on 12th June if you are passing then swing by and say hello!

Getting Ready....!

Lots of things to show you today so wont talk too much!! I have my first make and take class tomorrow...eeek!! I am very excited but abit scared at the same time. Its for one of my friends at work and there will be either 5 or 6 ladies there so should be a nice afternoon - I have got photo's of what we are doing but you will have to wait till tomorrow for them (there is a reason!)

Well as my kit came yesterday I decided today would be a day of getting sorted with some samples and making some little prizes for a draw at the end of the make and taken- what do you think?

 I have covered some note books and used the Trendy Trees stamps. I have used Old Olive ribbon to make the pen loops - these are for a prize draw at the end of the class

 I have CASED an idea I saw while blog hopping and changed it slightly! I have used the Garden Green house stamps - these are two layers so you need to use the Stamp-a-Ma-jig, which is the best thing since sliced bread!! I have stamped these on to card then cut them out and stuck them on to acetate. There is the old olive ribbon - loving that!!

I think I am in love with this card!! I have used Artistic Etchings and stamped the back ground using the stamp-a-ma-jig to line it all up where I want it all to go. I have used my punches to punch a crown out, old olive ribbon to finish and some sparkle to finish!

Right off for tea now I will report back tomorrow on how it all goes!!

Cocktails!

Just a quick one today! I have been playing again with the Stampin' Up set 'Cheers to You'. I have been doing alot of blog surfing (if thats what you can call it!) and saw a card that I have decided to have a go at and change it slightly. I loved the black and white picture and then pull alittle bit of it and add colour. Quite simple but a really good effect I think!

Don't look too close cause you will see I've gone slightly over the lines!

I have used Basic Black for the outlines. The cocktails are coloured using the stamp pad a paint brush and some water to give it the watercolour effect - I have used Marina Mist, Real Red, Old Olive, Real Red Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight. For the back ground I used the 'Trendy Trees' Stamp and used Pumpkin Pie and Marina Mist.

All these cocktails makes me want one!

Stampin' Up!

For the last couple of months I have just started to use Stampin' Up products and I love them. They stamp so clear and the details on them is lovely. I have a couple of cards to share with you. Let me know what you guys think!

For these 3 cards I have used the Cheers To You set

 I am not a lover of making Mens cards but stamp set is amazing for this! I have layered the middle beer up and added abit of sparkle to the top of the beers

 Who's for Cocktails?! I have used abit of glossey accent on the glasses to make them look like glass and have layered up the cherry, the strawberry and the umbrella. I have used a stamp from trendy trees to do the back ground

Love this card! The paper is from the hostess level one. I have added abit of sparkle to the glasses and used the tiny tags set to add the labels

Well thats it for today!
