Cards & Announcement

As of tomorrow I will no longer be a Stampin' Up demonstrator. Unfortunately life has a habit of getting in the way of things, so I've decided that this is the best option. I've really enjoyed being a demo and will continue to upload cards and scrapbook pages. On the plus side, it means I get to play a bit more with the retired stamp sets and papers!!

I ordered a few things from the Summer Mini catalgoue a few days ago, which I'm looking forward to the arrival of. Well, more than a few things. :) I can't wait to play with the Something Sweet and Animal Stories stamps, amongst others!

I've managed to get back into the card making groove this week. Below are some examples of what I've been working on.
I've been asked to make quite a few baby cards as there's a lot of babies appearing lately. This one is using the Build-a-Roo set and I used some dimenionals to make the little joey pop out of it's mother's pouch.



Another baby card. I borrowed this idea from someone, but unfortunately I can't remember who! I also did a slightly girlier version with pink and other pastel colours but I can't get it to photograph properly.



Below are two criss cross cards. The first one uses Walk in the Park DSP from the spring mini catalogue. It's no longer current but I love the paper. The Great Friend stamps and flower brad are also from that mini.




This criss cross card uses the lovely Good Morning Sunshine DSP from the main catalogue and the Cheep Talk and Best Yet stamp sets. I used Riding Hood Red and Pacific Point ink and paper.



And here are some cards using the retired Stampin' Up! set Like it a Latte, which is one of my favourite stamp sets.

Stampin' Up Haiti Relief & Sale-a-bration!!

Sorry about the long absence, but I've been busy planning for and going on a fabulous holiday to America!
