Just a Little Note….

Hello again, hope you are having a good week thanks for joining me again today, today i plan to have a lazy day in my PJ’s and hopefully I'll get inky a bit later, as on Saturday we swapped wardrobes with the children’s and changed their room around, so i am in need of a rest!

Today the project i am sharing with you is small, i often get asked by my regular customers for note paper for thank you’s so i thought i would use the Top Note and Scallop Envelope dies (SU exclusive) for the Big Shot to make a small set;

 

They may be small but they are the perfect size for saying thank you or if you’re my eldest daughter they’re prefect for playing ‘Postman Pat’!  The images are from the Baby Blossom stamp set the flower heads were stamped 3 times once each in Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, and finally in Rose Red inks and the stems were stamped in Certainly Celery and Wild Wasabi inks, all from my Subtles Classic Stampin’ Spots set.

I hope you like them

Until next time

Another little Baby Blossoms Card.

Morning all, Looking forward to a quiet weekend this week as we have had far too much going on lately i need some time just to flop on the sofa in my PJ’s!

 

So here is another little card that i made while i had my Baby Blossoms stamp set out. I cut the 4”x4” base myself from SU Certainly Celery cardstock and used up the tiniest bit of Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding left over from yesterday’s projects, seriously it was no more than and inch and a half long!

I have stamped onto Whisper White Cardstock, the stems are Certainly Celery and the blossoms are Pink Pirouette and Pretty in Pink all from the SU Subtles Colour Family.  I love that the colours work so well together and that things actually match when they are listed as the same colour.  No more hours wasted searching for the right colour card to match your ink, as all the hard work is done for you.  That has to be one of my favourite things about Stampin’ Up!’s product range.

The Frame was stamped in Certainly Celery Ink on both Whisper White and a scrap of Certainly Celery Cardstock then layered up to focus the sentiment.  The Sentiment is from the Wedding Sweet stamp set that i used for my wedding invitations, but i think that the curly script is perfect for this style and was stamped in Chocolate Chip Ink as i felt that Black would be too harsh for this piece.

I have this stamp set in the clear mount and i find that nine times out of ten i can line these up easily as they are of course a Two-Step stamp set and although this can be little fiddly i think that the effect is so worth it!  I love Cath Kidston and i love that these stamps help you create items with the same feel with very little effort.  

 

Until next time

A Non Christmas Post!…….Baby Blossoms

Morning all! Hope you are well?

Well i thought a different project today, as you may be a bit fed up of the Christmas posts from all us crafters but we have to think early for Christmas as my Friend informed us via Facebook the other day there is only 158 days till Christmas!

So in my before mentioned Birthday order from Stampin’ Up! i ordered the Baby Blossoms stamp set in clear mount, and i had hardly inked it up so on Saturday while Mr.C and the girls went out for a ‘‘Splash Walk’’ i got myself situated and got inky.

Now what do you do while you craft?? Do you listen to music? or have a TV or DVD running in the background? Normally for me its a DVD of some kind and this weekend it was series two of the legendary 70s comedy “Are You Being Served?” which is one of my favourite all time programmes i love all the risky double entendre and the non offensiveness of it all.

And there’s me off topic again! Useless aren't I?  Can you imagine living with me?

So here is my project it is not using your traditional colours for flowers i have used Crumb Cake with Chocolate Chip to stamp the rose heads and the leaves are Certainly Celery and i have used the Pear Pizazz Seam Binding to add texture;

The Celebrate! sentiment came from the level 2 Hostess Set from the Mini Catalogue, called Something to Celebrate.

I also made a stack of pillow boxes to match;

And here is the completed set;

I think that they look pretty effective if i do say so myself!  I think that they would be perfect for a lady that ‘just doesn’t do girly’

Until next time
