Basic Baby Boutique
Here's a card I made whilst trying out new products from the 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! Catalogue...
I just love the Baby Boutique Stamp Set, but I'm not the most creative person in the world! :-(
What I did was stamped the little booties on a doily cut out with the Delicate Doilies Sizzlit and matted it on Pink Pirouette card cut out using the Windows Framelit. The Big Shot is such a versatile cutting machine!
Why did I add the bird? Not sure it adds to the card... but I just love it! LOL
If you would like a copy of the new catalogue - collect from me for just £3, get one FREE if you host a party or spend £50. If you would like one delivered you can add it to your order.

Chocolate!
Tonight I went to a Chocolate party... Oh dear! Too much lovely chocolate to resist!
I did miss crafting for the evening but they were a lovely bunch of ladies, some of whom I will be seeing at a party later this month.
Hopefully I'll be able to take some pictures at the party and post them on here!

The Excitement - All New Stampin' Up Goodies!
Well I haven't blogged for a few days as I was waiting for my new stash from Stampin' Up! I may have gone a bit over the top with my order, the only trouble is I am already thinking ,'I should have bought...'
The first project I made was a Birthday Card for my Mum. It's OK she won't see it. She doesn't 'do' computers! I hope she'll like it!
You remember that colouring I was talking about - I definitely haven't mastered it but I think this is OK. I used my Stampin' Write Markers,
The colour combo's on this card are Bravo Burgundy and Always Artichoke.
The ribbon is Whisper White 1cm Taffeta with a Regals, Garden Green Brad.
The cardstock is Bravo Burgundy and Whisper White.
The Rubber Stamp Sets are Bordering on Romance, Papillon Potpourri and Beautiful Birthday.
The Framelits used to cut out each element are the Labels Framelit and Floral Frames Framelit.
I also used one of the Adorning Accents Embossing Folders and co-ordinating Edgelit.
Each of the flowers is embellished with a 3mm Pearl Basic Jewel.
Lastly, because I have been dying to get this set, and because I have bought a Heat Gun and Embossing Powders, I Stamped one of the Papillon Potpourri Butterflies, embossed it with Gold Stampin' Emboss® powder, Punched out the Butterfly with my new Butterfly Punch and added it.
I'm pleased as punch with it, Stampin' Up! really do know how to co-ordinate their products!
I have four more projects to show you so remember to come back and check them out!
If you would like to see any of these products demonstrated - then ask me when you book your Party! If you want to place an order or book a party call me on 07786 860438.

Stampin' Up!® with Merry Minis
Well folks, I placed my order from the new 2012-2013 Annual Catalogue at silly o'clock on Monday morning and it is in transit!
I am so excited about all the new products I have ordered and can't wait to show you. But I couldn't leave you all without a post to look at in the mean time.
Hopefully I will have had a chance to create with my new stash in time to put something up on Friday.
Here is a card I made using the Merry Mini Stamp Set and corresponding Merry Mini Punch Set. I used Primrose Petals, Gumball Green and Summer Starfruit Inks and Card Stock. The Small Scallop Circles are punched with the 1 1/4" Punch and the plain Circles with the 1" Punch.
I had to cut my dimensionals into quarters so I could raise up the punched shapes.

In the second image you can see how the coloured Punched Circles have been matted on to the Whisper White Card stock. The entire mat is run through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder - unless you look really closely you can't tell that the coloured spots aren't printed on the card... amazing!
So - what are you planning next?
I am going to try colouring some stamped images... I tried once before and was absolutely useless, so if anyone can give me any tips - please leave a comment for me!
I shall post some of my attempts - if they aren't too humiliating!

Decorating Glass Jars with Stampin' Up!
Sometimes you are left with the most beautiful jars and it seems such a waste to put them in the Recycle Bin... Some are just crying out to be crafted with!
So here is a simple example of what you can do with a couple of Stamp Sets, some Card, Patterned Paper and a Big Shot!
Just what to put in it? :-)
I used Twitterpated Paper then used the Windows Framelits dies to cut out, first the Summer Starfruit card stock, that I embossed on the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder, I Stamped the label in Raspberry Ripple using the Friendship Preserves Stamp Set, then cut that out too with the appropriate sized framelit.
A little tip when adhering something quite stiff to a rounded surface, to help prevent it coming unstuck is to place it in your palm and gently 'slide' it over the edge of yout table, this causes it to curve so it will stick more firmly without wanting to come unstuck!
The flowers were stamped from the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set, Raspberry Ripple and Summer Starfruit ink and punched using the Blossom Punch and the 1" Circle Punch. I added one of the larger pearls to the centre and the leaves can be hand cut! I cheated though and used the Ornament Framelit that is the perfect shape and my Simply Scored scoreboard to add detail.
The ribbons are the Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta on the lid and 3/8" Taffeta in Certainly Celery.
To finish off I thought the lid needed something more than just the ribbon...
Here I used all 3 sizes of the Scallop Circle Punches and embossed each one, I used the Perfect Polka Dots, Square Lattice and the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folders... and added another leaf to finish.
This was a fun project and enabled me to showcase lots of my Stampin' Up! supplies, you don't need to use quite so many products to create a similar project.
Why not give me a call or post a comment if you would like me to make some suggestions as to how you could do something similar?
Remember - if you become a demonstrator you can receive product in your Starter Kit to the value of £130 for just £99! And don't forget if you join in October or November you also get FREE Designer Patterned Papers!
