Open House...

Well we had a brilliant time at the Open House today, I think because there was no pressure to finish the projects in a given time everyone had a chance to chat and stroke their new catalogues and the new products.

I bought Macaroons and fresh fruit... we never did make it to the cake... though apparently I make nice coffee.

As it was a smaller group than I expected I gave each of the ladies a photopolymer stamp set to try out with a pack of ribbon with matching buttons. I think they were a bit surprised but hopefully in a nice way.

We used the new Something for Baby set - which will be available from the 1st of July, we also used the coordinating framelits as well as the Hearts Collection framelits and Decorative Dots embossing folder.

Here are a few of our creations.

The sentiment is from a new set too... Something to Say. Hope you like them!

Back tomorrow with some Project Life!

A little more LOVE

Well today I'm posting part two of my Valentine cards...

I realised how close it's getting to Valentines day and I hadn't posted any cards... so I'll also be posting some more tomorrow!

Here are todays' offerings -

There are two types of embossing on this card - the strip of embossed hearts from the Adorning Accents set - then the Flowerful Heart - Available for a limited period is heat embossed with Cherry Cobbler embossing powder to match the card stock - the Gold foil sheets are carrying over from the Autumn/Winter seasonal to the Spring/Summer one! Cut out using the Hearts Collection framelits. The sentiment is from See Ya Later - available exclusively, Free, with a £45 order during Sale-a-Bration.

Can you see the hint of a sparkle there? That is the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.

For this card I used the Hearts Collection framelits and the small heart punch, Chalk Talk stamp set and matching framelits . So elegant - don't you think?

Lastly I cut the hearts out of the white card stock and used the negative for this one. I just love the rhinestones!

And the sentiment from Million & One is embossed using that lovely Cherry Cobbler embossing powder again! - I deliberately didn't use the Embossing Buddy as I wanted the fine 'mist' of red from the 'stray' embossing powders.

I hope you'll be back tomorrow for another installment of Luurve.

Stampin' Up! European Convention Manchester - Sneak Peeks

Well guys, it's Thursday and I expect you have probably heard enough about Convention - but I am still buzzing and STILL haven't had a chance to play with MDS (My Digital Studio) - we had an awesome session on it at Convention and I am dying to have a play!

In addition I have some NEW products that I must get on and create some sneak peeks for you with.

Oh - and some of the freebies I forgot to show you were the Make and Takes - which I still have to create!

AND - "c'mere there's more!" (you may 'get' this depending on your generation) There was an awesome Christmas Card from one of the Dutch Pinkies that she demoed and I am determined to CASE.

Anyhow... here are a couple of sneak peeks... These stamps and the watercolour card blanks will be coming to a catalogue near you soon! LOVING that Poppy!

And there are a couple of new stamps used here - but they are very subtle... I am CASEing this too!

Blimey - just remembered I need to add the Hearts Collection Framelits to my next order!

Well that's it from me for today... tune in for more posts - though maybe it's time for a few of my own projects... D'ya reckon?

Laters!

Hugs,
