Post it Note Holders

These lovely little books hold a post-it-note pad. The 3d flowers are made with the Stampin’ Up! heart punch, folded in 1/2, sponged with ink and layered. The wooden button was sponged with ink to match.  The other flower from the Playful Petals stamp set, was stamped in basic black and coloured with aqua painters and ink from Stampin’ Up! ink pads. These were fun to make.

Scrapbooking layout

Stampin up 244 Stampin up 243

This lovely layout uses Riding Hood Red, Pretty in Pink  and Old Olive Card stock. The stamp set is Baroque Motifs.

The delicate scallop boarder is made using the Stampin’ Up! slit punch.  Contact me if you want instructions for anything that interests you or to purchase any Stampin’ Up! products.

Is it a bird punch or a flower?

The new Stampin’ Up! bird punch is so versatile. I am so enjoying using this punch!!

The flowers on this lovely card were made using the birds wings as petals, and highlighted using a white gel pen.

Sweet Treat Cups

The new Summer Mini Catalogue has some awesome products. New punches; Butterfly and a large 1 – 3/4” circle, both with coordinating stamp sets. The large circle punches out circles the right size for the new Sweet Treat Cups, they are ideal for filling with lollies, or as a shaker card. I made up several cards using the Sweet Treat Cups and the coordinating stamp set “Something Sweet” for my open day. These cards were really fun to do!!

A big thank you to all of you who visited us, especially with the weather not being too flash.Stampin up 213

The CD Jewel case photo albums were particularly popular, along with the candy case mice with the children.

As it was a Christmas Craft show, I decorated up a tree with tinsel and used it to display Stampin’ Up! cards for sale.
