Just Believe


I used my trusty colour coach for this card by chosing Marina Mist and these were the matching colours. I do like this colour combination together it is really striking. I think everything is pretty straight forward the only thing you may not have seen before is the embossing folder which is called Square Lattice and that will be available in the Summer Mini to order from the 1st December. The ribbon is still on promotion till the end of the month. Have a great day......

Black & White


Black & White are such striking colours together, I just love that classic look. I have used the black & white grosgrain stripe ribbon and an antique brad secured around the ribbon. I used the Friends 24-7 stamp set with the butterflies embossed with the bigshot and stuck them on top and finished that off with another favourite of mine, the rhinestone brads, I just love those things, they make sticking them so easy. I also used the Happy Birthday out of the Curly & Cute stamp set. I hope you are getting some crafting time in this Sunday...... Oh yes, I nearly forgot I also used some shimmer paint on the butterflies.....

Stamped Canvas


I woke to a rainy old morning this morning and as soon as my feet hit the floor I just felt like crafting. I would love to say "soooo I just crafted" but I had to do the housework first, yes boring, I no.....lol..... Anyway I have been tossing this idea around in my head for a while now. I seen these on a wall at the hairdressers ages ago. So I decided to make my own Stampin Up version of a "Girls clip board". I have sponged all over with Pink Pirouette and then just around the edges with crumb cake. I then stamped Baroque Motifs in Crumb cake directly on the canvas. I used En Francis Background stamp in Crumb Cake then stamped the Medallion stamp in Pink Pirouette and cut it out. I then made my little flower using the Scallop Punch. I then stamped the butterflies with the stamp out of the Punch Potporri stamp set and stuck them on with a dimension. I used a retired pink pirouette ribbon for where the clips go and then the new lace that is available out of the Summer Mini on 1st December. Isn't it cute......Josephine loves it.....These would make great Christmas Presents......
