Happy Anniversary!!!

Today I celebrate the first of 2 anniversaries this month. It is my 14th Wedding Anniversary!

I know... he would have got less for murder!

I made him a fab card before I had my op as I knew I might not be able to make one for a while after the op.

I hope you like it - he did - bless him, he says all my creations are amazing - even the ones I am convinced are rubbish!

I used the Heart punch, Petite Petals punch and stamps, the First Sight stamp set and the Flourishing Thinlits dies.

He's taking me out to dinner this evening. I'm just hoping the food is easy to cut as I'm still struggling a bit - just a tip - if you can 'dictate' an email on your smartphone... send it to yourself - then you can just copy and paste the text where you want it without doing lots of typing with your injured hand.

Last of the love - for this week!

Today I'm posting the last four (yup one extra today!) of the Valentines cards I have been creating.

The last one is completely different as I experimented a bit with colour - so I hope you like it.

The first one uses 2 Sale-a-Bration items - the Punch and Banner Blast stamp set. - If you want the Expressions Thinlits - the set is only available until the 28th of January - so you had better order it now!

I've used the Banner Blast stamp set and punch again here - teamed up with Gorgeous Grunge, the Flowerful Heart and the Sketch Alphabet set. Isn't the button sweet? that is one of the Very Vintage designer buttons.

I've used the Thinlits again here with the Language of Love stamp set - and the heart fits perfectly in our Heart Punch.

Last of all I took a punt with the colour - and opted to pick out the Coastal Cabana from the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack to make this card, The sentiment was heat embossed on the vellum card stock and then I embossed it using the Adorning Accents embossing folder. The hearts were cut out with the Hearts Collection Framelits. What do you think?

Well I'll be back tomorrow with a little something else. Hope you'll join me! Remember you only have a week to get your order in for those thinlits - they are a set of 3 - Love/Thankful and Merry.

You can book one of my classes, host a party and all your guests can experience the fun of making a card - or you can just get in touch to place an order! I have had enquiries about my Stampers 6 - and only need another 3 people to make up another set of 6 if you are interested - see the Stampers 6 tab for info.

Back tomorrow!

Video Tutorial - Decorated Kraft Box

Hi Guys!

Sorry - I did mean to post yesterday but I don't know where the day went! Well I do, cleaning, tidying, mowing my field, agility training with Blaze and then walking the dogs.

It does mean that today I can share with you another video tutorial of a decoration for one of the Stampin' Up! Kraft boxes. They are on page 160 of the new catalogue and are just £2.75 for four - an absolute bargain and great for packaging that special gift for someone.

So here is my finished box.

Here you can see the flower a bit clearer...

The mats were cut from Raspberry Ripple card stock.

Top - 8 x 8 cm
Sides - 8 x 5.5 cm

The DSP is Primrose Petals from the retiring In-Colour stack - that is being replaced with all new designs (can't wait) and you only need 6" x 6" to do this!

Top - 7.5 x 7.5 cm
Sides - 7.5 x 5 cm

And here is the video of how to make the flower - you need 4 shades of pink. I used Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Strawberry Slush and Pink Pirouette. You also need a hot glue gun and the Heart Punch and the Small Oval Punch. Have you spotted one of the new Very Vintage Designer Buttons in the middle there? They are gorgeous!

I hope you enjoy trying this for yourself and will be back tomorrow with a really fun card!
