Where's the fire? Cookie Cutter... Fireman!

Well folks - still super busy and collect my new car tomorrow! Had a wedding and a festival at the weekend and had to make a card for my friend for his birthday. So, he was a firefighter - now he is an instructor for the fire service... I needed to make a fireman!

Here he is!

What do you think?

I have to go and feed the animals now - but I'll hopefully get a chance to post the new catalogue for you tomorrow!

Stampin' Up! Sneak Peek

A Cookie Cutter Christmas... that doesn't have to be!

It's a new stamp set with coordinating punch that you'll be able to order in September - and it HAD to be in my pre-order!

Here's a nice traditional Christmas card to start off with...

Cute little Gingerbread couple in Cajun Craze... exactly the right colour for Gingerbread!

Then the next card I had amazing fun creating and should definitely be a feature in October's class - don't you think?

Great use of the Brick Wall and Softly Falling embossing folders.

And no Christmas stamp set would be complete unless you could make... A BABY Card????

And another embossing folder here, Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder - this is a super special extra depth one... so make sure you follow the instructions for the sandwich!

I'm feeling so much better today... I've had a dreadful week with an ear infection and Labyrinthitis - culminating in a perforated eardrum! It never rains! At least I can sit up and type today!

Hope you're having a fab weekend!

Stampin' Up! Pop of Paradise

I'm sure Stampin' Up! Included the flamingo in this set as a reference to the Rio Olympics... which is why I thought I would post a couple of cards using this set today!

I'm not very sporty I'm afraid - the daily dog walk is my exercise limit! Even that's curtailed at the moment as I think I may have an ear infection... to the amusement of those around me, as my balance has gone and I'm walking into things left, right and centre!

Well at least this little fella made me smile! I'm not sure what it is... maybe it's the cheerful pink? I do know there are flamingos EVERYWHERE this year!

This was the first card I made with the set... I just love the leaves too! Though I drew the line at cutting those out and just cut out the sentiment!

The second card was for an amazing friend who does so much for me! She is into country music and has just bought a pair of flamingos for her garden! Plastic ones... called Phil and Fiona!

These were heat embossed using the retired Melon Mambo embossing powder - aren't they great on the black card?

Well it's time to flamin'go!! (OK so I'm no comedian!) Back soon...
