Well hello again…..
I am back in the world of work, early mornings and no alcohol or chocolate – how boring!! My kids went back to school today and I had the house to myself, bliss……
I went about answering emails, organising events I have coming up and even a little crafting.
I totally cased this card from the CARDS magazine (US edition) and I changed it slightly using the new Sweet Summer set from Stampin Up which if absolutely FREE. Not just one stamp either, a whole set of 9 stamps in all.
Now you know my motto, why make one when you can make several, so I tried different colours and sentiments, which one if your favourite?
I think I love the Rich Razzleberry card with the Because I care sentiment……
Supplies used –
Sweet Summer FREE Sale-a-bration set
Designer buttons £7.75
1/8" Taffeta Ribbon £5.25
Scallop Trim Border Punch £14.25
Word Window Punch £14.25
Linen thread £3.75
Designer Series Paper Patterns Stack in Brights (arguably one of the best value and most gorgeous items in the catalogue) £15.50
Old Olive & Whisper White Cardstock
Old Olive Stampin Write Marker £2.95 (sold individually)
Sentiments taken from Thank you Kindly & Because I Care (hostess Level 1 free set)
I was using my markers to colour in the leaves and also the sentiments and I realised that if you already owned the StampinWrite Markers that you may not have purchased the new colour Markers. If you love your markers and have been waiting for the right time to purchase the new colours, now could not be a better time.
If you place an order over £45 you can choose a free sale-a-bration stamp set and there are lots of items to choose from to complete your sets you have at home.
Don't leave it too long as these colour kits won't be available forever – I would be delighted to place an order for you, thank you for stopping by x
Can’t decide which is my favourite … they’re all so nice. Love the effect of the cut out and ribbon – so lovely! It’s so nice to be back to normal again isn’t it? I had a last day “stampin” day with my grandson yesterday – he’s now got more sheets of stamped wrapping paper than Paperchase!?! He now wants some more stamps, so will have to dig deep and see what I can do without! Happy stampin’ for 2011!

Lovely design and I really enjoy seeing the different colourways. Really like the cutaway for the ribbon to – an excellent idea.
