Please contact me if you would like to order the I {heart} Hearts stamp set or any other Stampin' Up! products.

Wild About You!

I've had the Wild About You stamp set for a while but haven't had much a chance to use it. It has some very cute animals in it, including this lovely lion.

I coloured him with markers to get the different coloured mane and body. I love doing bows like I've done on this card, I think it makes them look very fancy!

Stamps: Wild About You

Paper: Choc Chip, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise and Summer Sun card stock

Ink: Tempting Turquoise

Accessories: Markers - Choc Chip and Summer Sun, Choc Chip Ribbon, Scallop Edge Punch

Classes!!!

After a bit of thinking I have decided not to drop my Stampin' Up! demoship! The thought of it made me too sad, so I am now back on board.

To celebrate I am holding 2 Classes in February! One on the 20th of February and the other on the 27th of Febuary.

Both classes will entail making 2 cards and a 'Box in a Bag'. The classes are not the same and will both use fabulous new products from the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini as well as the standard Catalogue.

Each class costs $10 per person.

Awesome Deals!

If you order over $50 worth of Stampin' Up! product at either class I will refund the $10 class fee!

AND

For every $100 worth of Stampin' Up! product ordered at either class, thanks to Sale-a-bration, you are able to choose a free stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalogue!!

Birthday Cards

I made quite a few cards over the weekend. Sunday ended up being a very creative day!

Both the presents and the sentiment are from one of the Sale-a-bration stamp sets called Happy Moments. I also used the Happy Happy Birthday jumbo wheel for the background.

This one caused me no end of grief because I had to make a sliding trap door at the back for the jelly beans to come out of. It's made using the Something Sweet stamp set from the Summer Mini catalogue.

Easel Card

I had some new stamps arrive this week and I've had fun playing with them, including 3 free Sale-a-bration stamp sets!!

Below is an Easel Card. It folds flat so you can post it. I used the new I Heart Hearts stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalogue and one of the free Sale-a-bration stamp sets Whimsical Words.

Ink: Riding Hood Red & Chocolate Chip

Stamps: I Heart Hearts & Whimsical Words

Paper: Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla
