Easy, Pretty, Cool Treats Card and Giveaway!
We made cards like this at Coffee and Cards this week. I love this paper stack, its called Cupcakes and Carousels and the colours in it are gorgeous. Its such a simple card but I think it turned out well don't you think?! The stamp set used is Cool Treats and it is full of ice creams and sundaes and iced lollies and then all the embellishments' you could want, like cherries, topping and sprinkles and strawberries.

Secret Shutter Card with Daisy Delight!
I have had so much fun with this! I originally saw a version of this card when a fellow Stampin Up demonstrator brought one to team training a little while ago. I was intrigued.

Less is more!
Sometimes less is more don't you think! That's the way I would describe this card . I have used just a few stamps from the Bunch of Blossoms stamp set and the Blossom Builder Punch. It is a three step stamp set allowing you to build up layers of colour on the images of the petals. Then they are simply punched out before gently curling with my fingers and adhering to the front of my card. I love this bright colour Pink. Its Melon Mambo and of course the cardstock is dyed to match it ... VIEW POST
Daisy Delight Card

There are definitely a couple of designs that would be good for the chaps too. ( not that I think the flowers are just for ladies of ... VIEW POST
#Make Something That Means Something.
A card in the post or a hand written note is such a joy to receive don't you think? Even with the instant connectivity of the internet there is nothing like a card arriving and knowing that someone has taken the trouble to put pen to paper, and posted it to you. This has inspired my project today. Its a pretty gift box to hold cards. Its an easy make, made using the envelope punch board. I made it to fit standard size cards and envelopes just ... VIEW POST
