Baroque Thank You Notecard

Good morning Dear Reader, do hope that you are well. A few weeks ago i needed a load of thank you cards, so i used the notecards and envelopes from Stampin’ Up! i like to have these on standby for when i need thank you cards as they’re a nice size and lovely smooth cardstock.

 

This is a one layer card i like doing these multi layered stamping cards they have lots of depth created by the different stamps but none of the bulk of traditional layers so they are perfect for posting.

The colour scheme is Sahara Sand, Baked Brown Sugar, Costal Cabana, and Bermuda Bay. The stamp sets used are gorgeous grunge {one of my favourites!} off the grid, beautifully baroque and lots of thanks for the sentiments.

I hope you like this card i will be back tomorrow with a photo tutorial showing just how to create it.

Until next time

Hexagon Thank you ….

Good Morning Dear Reader, i hope that you are well?  I feel i am living my life by the BBC Weather App at the moment trying to catch the sun long enough to dry the clothes :)

Well here is the project i am sharing with you today, a thank you card of the clean and simple persuasion.

I’ve used the six sided sampler stamp set to create this card in smokey slate and soft sky inks, topped off with a vellum butterfly and a few rhinestones for a bit of bling.  I think it is quick effective having lots of white space although it can be a little scary and you can feel like you need to fill that space sometimes it works if you don’t.

Well that’s it from me today, have a great day.

Until next time

Happy Birthday and Thank You

Well Hello Dear Reader, today is my blogs 2nd Birthday i can’t believe i have been blogging for 2 whole years this also means that my love affair with Stampin’ Up! started 2 years ago now as well!  In that time it has many designs as i have tried to find one that i truly love, i think I'm there now as the new header shows most of the crafts i love including lace, paper craft and sewing.

I would like to say thank you to all that read my blog and comment i love when you comment it feels like I'm not just talking to myself.  And thank you also to all that follow me it means so much that you like what i create and share with you.

In the last two years my life has changed so much and a lot of that is due to stamping, by joining Stampin’ Up! i have met lots of lovely people some of whom are now some of my dearest friends and who i could not imagine life with out now.  But i have also met people within the community that i live who i would not have met otherwise; i knew absolutely no one when i moved to Saffron Walden apart from Mr.C’s family and by introducing people to what i do and what i can offer them i have met lots of new people and increased my social life ten-fold!  If it had not been for the fact that i was on the Stampin’ Up Demo finder; i would never have known about the great crop i now attend a few villages away i am so grateful for that as it is a fab place to go and craft and the people are so lovely and welcoming.

So in short its been fab I've loved it thanks for reading and here’s to another year :)

I shall be back tomorrow with a new project for you.

Until then

Birds of a Feather

Morning!  I went to a crop last weekend that i was also teaching a class at; now i don’t know about you but i just cannot pack lightly for crops my hubby snapped a picture of what i took before he loaded it into the car it took 4 trips!

So i have all the prepared materials for my class plus bits for me to join the crop after, i always seem to take loads as I'm never sure what I'll feel like doing i think i took 12 stamp sets in the end!

I did come up with a card design though after lunch using the Birds of a Feather Dsp.

How gorgeous is this paper?!?! this is just one of the designs that you get in the pack and you get 2 of each double sided sheet!  I used the ever on my desk Curly Cute stamp set for the sentiment.  What do you think?

I liked them so much that i made 5 more!  These will go in my box i like to have thank you cards on hand you never know when some one will do you a good turn and i like to say thanks.

What’s on your workdesk Wednesday?

 

Well Not a lot crafting has happened on my desk this week! Mr.C and M have dumped stuff on it which i had to scoop off before taking this picture about 5mins ago its still so dark here!!

You can see my scrap box overflowing that i have been trying to use up for gift tags etc. while doing the Christmas presents.  My spanky new diary is out an open as i was trying to pencil in my classes for next year.  You can also see a pack of freebie felt pieces that i got free with a magazine they’re not my thing so M will be using them to make her Christmas card for her daddy this year Mr.C will be pleased he loves a card made by the girls.

So my plan for the day is to clear my desk properly so it will be functioning well for all the yummy new stash my hubby has brought for me during the Demo only pre order for the New SU Spring Mini Catalogue, He swiped the box away before i could have a proper look!!! Roll on Sunday!!

Just a quick note of thanks to all those who visit my blog and leave your lovely comments.  If you don’t pop back before the big day I hope that you have a lovely Christmas and a Fabby New Year. All the Best

 

Until next time

Hello! I am Alive!

Hello i am alive, i am very sorry for the delay in my blogging, almost a month now unfortunately life got in the way.  The Camp household has been very poorly firstly it was me who was ill with tonsil-blooming-itis for the 1000th time!  Then it was the turn of the tinies, firstly little baby H has had horrible teething problems and then infection after infection and has lost lots of weight poor little thing, she still has an awful cough now.  And then M has got this awful cough too i have been assured by the doctors that there is tons going around and so it seems every little one has some sort of bug at the moment! O well that is the end of my griping, on to the good stuff.

So in early November i had a workshop at home with some of my ‘mummy’ friends to show them just what it was all this Stampin’ Up! malarkey is all about! lol  Now they’re not crafters {although i think i have one converted!} so i had to think of simple projects that still had the wow! factor here is what i came up with;

{photos clockwise from top; project packs all ready, our three projects, perfect plum bauble card, Tree Trimmings mini card, Robin Bookmark, the table all set up with thank you gifts}

We had lots of fun and everyone was really impressed with the results that they achieved with the simplest of steps to get there.

If you fancy having a workshop for you and your friends then just contact me.

A Little Thank You

Morning All, another pillow box to share with you today this time using the retiring Because I Care Hostess Set, i shall really miss this set as it is so beautiful and so useful.

This time a Pillow Box {113466} made in Very Vanilla, i stamped the flower head in Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive using the Classic Stampin’ Spots.  The sentiment was stamped from the same set in Rich Razzleberry and edged with basic rhinestones.  I knotted a length of Old Olive Ribbon to finish.

Thank you……

Hello!  How are you all today?  Good i hope?

Last week we was invited to dinner at Mr.C’s Nan’s house well we couldn’t go round empty handed so i rustled up a quick card;

I used my new Scallop Circle die for the Big Shot, and Springtime Vintage DSP with Rose Red Seam Binding and Button.  The base card was made of Crumb Cake card stock and i smudged ink all round the edges of the scallops with Crumb Cake ink and a Sponge Dauber.  To finish i added a buckle from the hodgepodge Hardware set and three tiny rhinestones (can you tell what’s been left out on my desk this week?! lol)

I think when i make a Scallop Circle easel card again i will put the button further back to hold the card front more upright.  Of course now the bottle we was taking with us looked rather bare so i prettied that up too!

i didn’t even measure and cut these bits it was all made of scraps on my desk i just sort of threw them together!  The scallop circle is out of my daughters stash of punches as i don’t have a scallop circle punch yet (its on my list) and the sentiment is from the Wedding Sweet stamp set.  I love this stamp set, i used it for my wedding invitations but i have also used it for so much more as it is so versatile.  

However when i got to Mr.C’s Nan’s House i realised i had used the same DSP as the card i had made her earlier in the week!! But at least she didn’t mind she loves to receive cards, which is one of the reasons i love card making.  Something so simple can really brighten up someone's day.

Until next time
