Birthday Card – Memorable Mosaic

Simple and Sweet Birthday Card

Fussy Cut Humming Birds Kissing Birthday Card

Hello,

Welcome to my first birthday card of the new Stampin’ Up! catalogue. Can you believe that we are approaching half way through the year. I certainly can’t. I have exciting new for you all. Tomorrow is the launch of the new annual catalogue. If you haven’t got your copy already then just click on the contact me button and I will get one right out to you.

The new catalogue is full of yummy goodies, one of these being the Memorable Mosaic Suite of products. Demonstrators were lucky enough to get the paper free at OnStage Local in April and I was able to order the matching stamp and punch in my preorder. There is a video showing all my preorder on my YouTube Channel.

This paper is fabulous and as it has many elements that can be fussy cut out as I have done here with these two “kissing” birds.

Hello,

It’s a lovely sunny day here in Lincoln today. The spring flowers are already out and I have bought two lovely bunches of bright and cheery daffodils for the house.

I thought this was a great time to share this thank you card with you.

The measurements are as follows:

  • Standard A6 Melon Mambo cardbase
  • Whisper White Mat 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Melon Mambo strip 10cm x 2.5cm
  • Whisper White strip 9.5cm x 2cm

I love this card as its so bright and happy. I have to say that I am not normally a pink type of girl but Melon Mambo is one of my favourite colours along with Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana. What are your favourite colours? I would love it if you left me a comment and let me know.

As usual I have a video of the card which I will link below with the supply list.

Hope you are able to enjoy some sun and flowers wherever you are.

A Sweet Treat Tin

Hello,

We have been lucky in Lincoln, all the snow from the last few weeks missed us. We had a light dusting but nothing like last year. I am very pleased as was in no mood to be snowed in again. Life has been busy has usual. I’ve been busy sorting out my car. She is now serviced and road tax and insurance paid. I am so pleased with my insurance as I’ve managed to save about £500 on it compared to last year.

I have a cute project to share with you today. I find these little metal tins online and thought they would make a lovely treat tin. They are big enough to hold a good amount of skittles or smarties.

The gingham gala paper measures 5.5cm x 4cm. I do love this set of designer series paper (DSP) It is a lovely mixture of pastel colours and makes me think of spring and all it’s joys.

The ribbon was from Sale-a-bration but is sady sold out now. You could use a number of other ribbons from the annual catalogue or dye a whisper white ribbon with a reinker. Let me know if you what to know how and I will make a video.

Thank you for stopping by and please hop over to my YouTube account and subscribe to keep up to date with my videos.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!

Giving Thanks

Hello again,

I have a cute and bright card to share with you today on this dark gloomy day in Lincoln. I love bright colours in the middle of winter as they remind me of sunshine and summer.

This card uses the Bee Thankful stamp set and yes it is all one stamp. The measurements are:

Standard A6 Thick Whisper White Cardbase

Pumpkin Pie Matt 10cm x 14.35cm

Whisper White 8cm x 10cm

The card is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love these as they make shading a doddle. I love colouring in, I find it so relaxing. I can just sit and let my worries float away as I colour in.

I adore the sentiment on this card as I have many things to be thankful for and I like to remind myself how lucky I really am.

I hope you like the card and thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!!

New Year New Start

Hello,

I am sorry I’ve been AWOL for so long, unfortunately my health hasn’t been at its best but hopefully I am on the right road now.

I have a cute birthday card to share with you today that I actually made a few months ago but never got to publish the video. It’s using the Playful Pals stamp set which I absolutely love. I have used the image of the otter but you could quite easily one of the other cute little critters as well. This set is perfect for colouring and I have used the stampin blends alcohol markers to colour my image. They would equally as good using the watercolour pencils as well.

I am going to try and post videos now three times a week on my YouTube channel so please subscribe.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you all had an amazing Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
