I must Send a HUGE Thank You to the Wonderful Nadine for sending me a Parcel with some very exciting products in it.. Yes you guessed it the Cogs Punch Exclusive to the US is all mine..

Emboss Inlay-Valentines Card

When I first seen this fantastic technique of Emboss Inlay all I could think of was, what a fantastic way to use all those scraps of cardstock and wow do I have alot of scrap.. The Bigshot really does become your best friend with this card.

The Pink Tag has been die cut using the bigshot, The greeting has been used from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

Pendant Park- Valentines Day Card

When Stampin Up released there December Frenzy brochure in December 2010, I just had to re-think my thoughts of not "needing" any more Stamp sets... Well I didn't need them but how can you leave a bargain like 50% off stamp sets alone. Pendant Park was reduced by 50% and it really is a wonderful set. With valentines day just around the corner I thought this wonderful tree would look just wonderful with a cute little Itty Bitty button set to one side. A beautiful card for any special man. The Colours used in this card are Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Very Vanilla.

Upsy Daisy - Thank You

With Christmas and New Year all behind us for another Year it is time to catch up on some of those Must Do Jobs.. I Love to send a Thank You card to all those Special People who have given my Children some Wonderful Gifts at Christmas and so I needed a card that was Fun to make but quick and simple to mass produce for both men and women.
I have not had alot of time to play with all the New colours since they were released in September and Now is a perfect opportunity. With Upsy Daisy Stamp Set in Hand and Daffodil Delight Ink this card was just so quick to make and lots of Fun with all those little butterflies so quickly Embossed and Cut at the same time using the Big shot and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. I have just placed a little glue from the 2 way Glue pen on the back of the butterflies body. And then raised there wings as pictured to give the impression they are flying.

Sweetheart-Birthday

I think I have found my inspiration again... Not quite sure where I lost it but I am sure you will all be as pleased as I am that it is BACK..

The Wonderful Sweet Heart Promotion where Stampin Up are giving you a box of FREE Heart shaped Sweet treat cups as outlined in the post below has been a very good excuse to eat M&M's and play with stamps. Although it has been pictured as a set to make all your Valentine's Day cards with this Sweet Heart Stamp Set is fantastic to make really lovely girlie cards. Maybe even for Mum at Mothers Day. Watch as over the coming weeks I inspire you with lots of Sweet Treat Idea's..
