Whilst nursing my little brother over the last couple of days I managed to make my swaps for the demonstrator meet today. Using my Stamp-ma-jig I postioned the Heart stamp from the set in a line across the card, then punched another out using the Postage Stamp punch and used dimensionals to raise it over one of the others. To make it pop even more I used the small single heart punch and a the new Glimmer paper - fantastic glitter paper and it doesn't come off...
Charming
Here is a card that I have made using the Charming stampset on page 6 of the Spring Mini Catalogue. I challanged myself to use colours that I usually steer away from Always Artichoke and River Rock and the added colour of red is the lucious Cherry Cobbler.

Todays cards are my favourite....... both use the new Holly Berry Designer Papers and new stampsets the first one being Polar Party. and the Second one using one of the single stamps Sweet Snowglobe which teams up really nicely with the treat cups. As you can see...

Countdown to Christmas – Day 3
Todays cards use one of Stampin' Up!s single stamps Dasher and the sentiment is from the Contempo Christmas stampset. For this card I have used Bravo Burgundy as my main colour and added Serene snowflakes in Wisteria Wonder and Pink Pirouette adding a little Dazzling Diamonds here and there to the centres. Instead of ribbon I have used Stampin' Up!s new Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch...its ideal as it means you can have ribbon in any colour you like!! The second card is a...
Countdown to Christmas – Day 2
Todays cards are using one of my all time favourite sets Lovely as a Tree. I made up 2 examples for the ladies to see one using Dazzling Diamonds and the other with out. Everyone had a lovely evening getting very "blinged up" using Dazzling Diamonds with the Stampin' Up!s Heat and Stick powder. (Even the hostess Washing Machine was very sparkly by the time we had finished!!). The sentiments are from the Curly Cute and Heard From Your Heart sets. If you would like to...

Love and Sympathy
Today I am going to share with you a card that I made for my uncle who sadly lost his wife last month. This stampset I feel is perfect for this occasion as I am all ways at a loss of a verse to write for the inside of these cards. I used is Baja Breeze as the base, stamped on Not Quite Navy with corrosponding ink with Enfancis and mounted this on Very Vanilla. For the flower I used my markers Old Olive and Baja Breeze again on Very Vanilla, all the sentiments are stamped in Not...
