Quickest Card Ever and a competition!

I'm forever in need of cards that are quick to make, but this has to be the quickest!

I just stamped the Russian or Matryoshka dolls on Sahara sand cardstock using my memento ink and Bob's your uncle!



Share some of your quick cards below and one of you will win a prize :-)



Happy Crafting!

Trust God with Blendabilities

Wow, I'm beginning to think that we're starting to find some kind of routine...! You know that that's the cue for me to have to go back to the day job :-( Hey ho, I've still got a few weeks left on maternity leave to try and get my house into some sort of order.

Today's card is using the oober fabulous Blendibobs and Bloom with Hope. Bloom with hope is one of the hostess sets from this year's annual catalogue and it was the first stamp set I had to have from this year's range. To qualify for hostess pounds you need to put through an order of over £150 in one transaction. You can do this on your own, as part of a party or group of orders or by joining one of my crafty stash clubs. If you'd like to know more about my stash clubs, drop me an e-mail so I can keep you updated with details of the next club launch.


There's still time to join me at my Blendabilities class on the 20th September. Use the paypal link on the blog post below to secure your place as I'll be ordering supplies on the 11th September...

By clicking the pictures below of the products used in today's card, you'll be taken directly to the item in my shop to make it even easier to order :-)

Happy crafting!

Corner Garden with Blendabilities

I've been enjoying another episode of the bake off this evening whilst writing up today's post.

Like so many four year olds, my little boy started school today, such a huge milestone and he was all smiles when I dropped him off and he's looking forward to tomorrow. Fingers crossed he makes some friends quickly as he doesn't really know anyone and told me that no-one played with him at break time which completely broke my heart. Fingers crossed for day two and that he's even happier when he comes home.

Here he is in his uniform all ready to go.


I have another card for you today which is using Stampin' Up!s oober fantabulous alcohol markers called blendabilities.

I've always loved to colour and it's one of the things I've missed since becoming a demonstrator, but now I have markers to play with that co-ordinate with all of our papers, ribbons and embellishments and you would expect nothing else really!



I love the corner garden stamp. It looks like I've spent ages layering up the images to get the perfect layout, when it's just one stamp. I do love to cheat ;-)

Would you like to learn how to colour with blendabilities and get professional results. Well I'm running a class in Mansfield on the 20th September where I will teach you how to blend so that you can create cards like the one above.

If you'd like to join us, you will need to have the markers for the class, colour lifter and memento ink pad. If you purchase all of the items from me, you can attend the class absolutely free! If you already have the supplies then the class fee is £12.50. As always, I will supply you with all of the materials to make the cards as well as refreshments and calories!

You will need to order your supplies by the 6th September to be sure to receive them in time as I wouldn't like to guarentee their arrival in time after that date (although Stampin' Up! usually deliver within a week of you ordering.)

The supply list for the class is:
Rich Razzleberry blendabilities (131003) £10.95
Daffodil Delight blendabilities (130998) £10.95
Old Olive blendabilities (130999) £10.95
Memento ink pad (132708) £5.50
Colour Lifter pen (129369) £4.50 

You can order directly from my online store, using hostess code: CW437Z6M to qualify for the free class or alternatively you can use this paypal button by midnight on the 6th September and I will order the supplies for you. If you have the supplies and would like to attend, just select the option from the dropdown list to book your place.

Happy colouring and fingers crossed for day two!

I must try harder

I really must try harder to update my blog. There is so much going on that it seems to be permanently at the bottom of my to do list!

Believe it or not, I'm still here. The boys are growing at an alarming rate and with less than a week till the first day of school, I'm quite sure the next week is going to be an emotional rollercoaster.

Today we had some scaffolding go up outside the house as we've been approved for free solar panels - yippee!!! Roll on Tuesday when they get installed.

Yesterday was the launch of the brand spanking new Autumn Winter Catalogue. I'm sure you've heard this with every catalogue launch, but it really is the best one ever. I'm a mahoosive Christmas fan, so the 28th August could not come soon enough!

Here's a little card I put together using some new supplies.




Check out the full catalogue here

Here's the supply list for everything used in the card above. Just click the picture to be taken to the item in my online store.

Hopping around the new catalogue!


Yesterday afternoon I went into a bit of a blind panic. I’ve been so focused and excited about the new catalogue coming out that I completely forgot that I had agreed to take part in a blog hop today and I hadn’t gotten beyond stroking and playing with my new stash!! Little Isaac is 7 weeks old today, so I’m going to use him as an excuse for not completing a project – teehee!

Last night I was lucky enough to have my mum visiting so she looked after Isaac whilst I made a couple of cards. I’m sharing one with you today and if you’re really lucky I’ll post the other one tomorrow J

Hopefully you made it here from the very lovely Louise’s blog

Today’s card features some of the brand spanking new in colours – I love them!!! I’m running an in colour club for those of you that want to get your hands on all of the in colours and you’ll even get the Moonlight DSP which features on this card (I think this might be my favourite DSP in the new catalogue!!!, but if you can’t decide, why not get them all in my paper share) .
