Thoughtful Branches - release date 2nd August

There is a wonderful new set to be released next month for a limited time and this is a sneak peak...

It has soooo much potential and is versatile for Birthdays, Sympathy, thinking of you and even Christmas!!
I held a stamp-a-stack last week and my lovely ladies got to play with it first hand!
Here are the cards we made....

The inspiration for the bird card was from Stampin' Up! headquarters as a card idea for workshops!! Thanks Stampin' UP! for making that easier!! The You're in my thoughts card was from ME!! Pleased to see I still have the creative spark, sometimes it feels quite dim! hee he!

I'm loving what you can do with this set and look forward to showing off some more of my creations in the next few days!! Remember at the moment for every $50 you spend you receive a $5 bonus voucher to spend next month!! Be a super way to buy this exclusive set as of the 2nd!! YAY!

Twelve days of Christmas cards 2015 - Day 6

I have a simple tag to show you today, easy, pretty and again only limited by your own imagination! Don't you just love Stampin' Ups! Punches!!?? Oh I do!!!

 

The tree punch and a doily is all that's needed for this sweet little tag, add some twine, or ribbon to have it swinging happily from your gift and you'll be as happy as a goose who's just laid an egg!!

CASE-ing the Catty challenge #23 - Occassional Mini and Sale-a-bration

 

This is a bit of a sad post for me..... WHY?? You ask??!!
Well because it's my last time for me to inspire you on the CASE-ing the Catty challenge blog. I've realised that I've had just a bit too much on my plate and as my children continue to grow and their needs along with it, I've needed to step back and re-assess on my "jobs." It's been SUPER AWESOME to be part of such a fabbo, creative team of people and I hope that every now and then I can still join in on the fun with the CASE-ing the Catty challenges!!!
So here is my last card to inspire you......

It's made with the sheltering tree stamp set that's available in the Mini and the FREE Sale-a-bration DSP in the background!! I actually made this card for a male friend who helped our family HEAPS recently so it's kinda lacking some of my usual embellishments...... not sure a doily would have worked!! hee he!

How wonderful it is to co-ordinate the wooden elements with the tree set, just a perfect match!
Well that's it from me, thanks to all of you for your visits and comment love, it has meant HEAPS!!

Case-ing the Catty challenge #20 - Everyday section of the Mini

 

What an amazing selection of stamps there are in the Everyday section of the Mini! What is your favourite? At Case-ing the Catty this week we are focusing on this very section. I would have to say that mine is the Sheltering Tree, page 22.

 

I have made quite a few cards with it, this one being my favourite... probably because of the colours and my fav embellishments at the moment Washi tape and doilies. I thought the wood grain embossing folder background was a clever touch and I really like the roughness of the edging too.
Hoping you can join us this week and join in the fun!
