Have you seen this cute set in the Holiday Catalogue “Get Your Santa On”. I love colouring the images. I have a few things in mind with this set but first I just played around with some simple cards. Check them out!
Aren’t they cute!
They are similar layouts. The one on the right is one we did at my Stamp-A-Stacks on the weekend. I used the ‘On Point’ Embossing Folder and the Nordic Noel DSP. I also used the Starburst Framelits or the Circle Framelits. The red ribbon is the Real Red Satin Woven Ribbon. I love that ribbon. It is so easy to use and tie.
To colour him I used the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities pack. The lightest colour is a good match to Real Red. How good is that!! I used the Nude colour in the Skin Tone pack for his cheeks and the darkest colour in the Smoky Slate pack. You can’t see it in this photo but I used some Dazzling Diamonds applied with the 2 way Glue pen.
Here they are close-up.
Hope you like them??

It has been a while since I had a chance to play along with a Challenge. I had a little time today and when I saw the challenge at Just Add Ink this week I thought this would be a good one to try. This week ‘ Rainbows’. We certainly have had a lot of rain recently to relate to this but I did like the fun colours to work with. Here is the inspiration.
Here is the card I came up with. It certainly took a lot longer than I thought it would but I am pleased with the final result. I love all the bright, happy colours.
This was the first chance I have had to use the Star stencil too so that was fun. I sponged sections with Tempting Turqoise, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo. This was adhered to a Melon Mambo mat and Tempting Turquoise card base. I added some Burlap ribbon across the front. I coloured sections of the stamp from ‘Amazing Birthday’ with the markers. I stamped some again to raise them up too. This was adhered to a piece of Melon Mambo card and raised up off the white card front. What I discovered too was the small star in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack co-ordinates nicely with the small star framelit. So I punched out the small star in Pumpkin Pie and then cut out the star using the framelit around the punched one. I cut another star in Melon Mambo and adhered them together. I was quite excited about the result. I punched out some more stars in Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight. I added some Brights Candy Dots to the centre of the stars too.
Job done! Challenge Completed!! I hope this brightens your day wherever you are.
If you want to join in the Just Add Ink challenge then head to the blog post here. There is not a lot of time left.

Bring along a friend I haven’t met and pick a prize. I love to meet new stampers. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Psst! Here is a sneak of what we might be making. 😉
I have a few baby cards to make at the moment and the set ‘Something For Baby’ has just arrived in time. If you have baby cards to make this set is great. I will tell you about the set below but I will show you the card first.
I have used Marina Mist and Real Red on this. I cut the little baby suit using the ‘Baby First’ Framelits from the Marina Mist card and then embossed it with the ‘Alphabet Press’ Embossing Folder. This folder is ideal for a cute baby type card. I wrapped around some White Baker’s Twine. On a piece of Whisper White card I pierced the baby suit from the ‘Eclectic’ Piercing Template set and adhered that behind the Marina Mist card. I adhered it all to the Marina Mist Base card. I stamped and cut the little tie in Real Red and adhered that with Dimensionals. (Don’t just think of this tie for baby cards what about for Dad for Father’s Day???). The tie adds a cute little touch. The greeting is from ‘Itty Bitty Banners’ and cut with the matching Framelits.
In the catalogue (p74) this is available as a bundle which is just fantastic as you save 15% off for the bundle ($80.50 W and $68.75 C). The Piercing Template is on p 218 is a great asset for this set and has piercing templates for the Tag Topper Punches, Star Framelits, Word Bubble Framelits and the Chalk Talk set. A very versatile Piercing Template set at only $13.95.
In cutting the Baby suit out for this card and a second one I didn’t want to waste the off-cuts so I made up some other cards similar to this.
The heart is punched from the 2 step Owl Punch. The Marina Mist piece at the bottom has been embossed with the ‘Alphabet Press’ Embossing Folder again. The greeting is from ‘A Dozen Thoughts’ and punched out with the Word Window Punch. I punched out a second one in Real Red and then cut it in half and layered it behind the white sentiment.
This is a little card measuring 10cmx10cm (4″x4″). The heart is punched from the ‘Itty Bitty Accents’ Punch Pack.
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the blog world. If you are in the US, wishing your a Happy 4th July. 🙂

Yes, Today is the day! The 2014 Stampin’ Up! Catalogue is live! YAY! I can’t wait to share with you the wonderful products we have: Great new stamp sets, Gorgeous new papers, fun new Dies, lovely new In Colors, Blendabilities and Project Life. You will want it all!
Yesterday I shared some of the displays at my Launch I held on Saturday. I thought I would show you the card we did as a Make and Take today. I CASED this card from Pinterest. This is using the Stamp Set ‘Kinda Eclectic’. You can see what is in this stamp set below. I think this will become a favourite in the catalogue. This is using some of the new In Colors: Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey, with Very Vanilla. The great thing too with this set is that the butterflies fit the Elegant and Bitty Butterfly punches. I like the little touch of Gold Twine on the card too.
I hope you can join me. They are a lot of fun and I know you are going to want to see the new Catalogue.
Book early though so you won’t be disappointed.
If you can’t make it and would love a Catalogue, drop me a message and I will get one to you. $5 plus Postage.
