This set uses Bloomin' Marvelous.  I have added Basic Rhinestones, Incolour Pens 2012-2014, Ticket Builder Punch, Bitty Butterfly Punch

My final offering is Pretty Petites.  I have used Print Poetry, Basic Rhinestones, Petite Curly Label Punch, Natural Trim Ribbon,Raspberry Ripple and Midnight Muse Ink.

Another Birthday

Hi Guys

Yesterday was my nieces 10th Birthday.  I cannot believe that she 10 already, she is growing up so fast.

She is changing what she likes and is into almost daily so it was hard to come up with something for the card I made for her.

I made her an owl from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock using the Scallop Circle and Topnote dies for the Bigshot.  I have used the retired 3 heart punch and retired SAB stamp set from last year for the greeting.

Other punches used are the 13/4", 13/8" and 1" circle punches for the eyes, the Curly Label punch for the greeting and the 13/4" Scallop circle punch for the chest.

She loved the card as I hoped she would.  Now I just need to think what I am going to make her for next year!!

I am having a day crafting tomorrow and I am going to be using some of my new product from the Spring/Summer Supplement and some of the fabulous offerings from the SAB brochure from this year, you will love them all they are fab.

Until next time

Happy Birthday

Hi Guys

Well today is my FIL's birthday and I am not sure if he reads my blog or not so I will say happy birthday now and I can show his card as I know he will have it by now.

I have used the cupcake builder punch in Pacific Point and Crumb Cake.  I added Early Espresso chips to the cupcake and then added Crystal Effects to give them some dimension.

For the greeting I have used is Priority Mail which is one of the exclusive hostess sets from the main Catalogue.

Do you see that paper?  Well that is a sneak peak from this years SAB products.  Not long now and you will be able to see all of them in the flesh when you place an order for £45 (you will get 1 free product).  This year is the best SAB yet with it being SU!'s 25th Anniversary!!  You will love it!!

Talking Tags

Hi Guys

Stampin' Up! have launched a new product line

With Talking Tag, you can send a gift that is uniquely you. Talking Tag is a message label you can attach to cards, invitations, gifts . . . anything! Personalise birthday cards, gifts or even record quick instructions for a recipe. Now your pictures really can say a thousand words!

How to send a voice message:

1. Download the FREE TalkingTag™ App on you smartphone from talkingtag.mobi, iTunes® or Google Play™.
2. Adhere the message tag to your card or gift.
3. Open TalkingTag™ App and scan the code.
4. Record your message (recording starts immediately, so make sure you’re ready!).

You will have the opportunity to listen, re-record, cancel, or confirm your message after you’ve completed recording it. Each label allows up to 60 seconds of a greeting, song, or product message.
To play the message, recipients will need to download the app and scan the code.  Messages are saved for two years, so they can listen to it over and over.

How to Buy Talking Tags:
Buy ‘em by the sheet! You get 10 tags for just 9.50 €/£7.25 (item 129723).



Helpful Tips:

• Adhere Talking Tag to a flat surface, otherwise the scanner can’t read the code.
• Multiple tags can be attached to one surface, but don’t place them too close together. When scanning a message, you shouldn’t be able to see another code on the screen. 
• Do not write or place any decoration over the label.
• Talking Tag has a permanent adhesive and cannot be repositioned once attached to a surface. Attempting to remove it could tear the label, making it impossible to listen to the content.
• A Talking Tag message label can only hold one message. Once a message is confirmed, it cannot be deleted or re-recorded.

So if you want to buy any then you can email me emmadaye@sky.com or call me 07793972024 (or text me) and I will order some for you.

Until next time

Happy New Year to you all

Hi Guys

Happy New Year to you all.

I have had a little time off whilst I found my mojo.  I managed to find it just before Christmas but was then busy with fairs and commissions for people.

I will show you some of the stuff that I did before Christmas now and will come back with some non Christmassy stuff really soon.

 

This is a banner that has been made using the Scallop Circle Bigz Die, a rosette made using my Simply Scored Board, The Ornament punch and a retired alphabet die

 Now the inspiration for these came from Becky Roberts over at Inking Idaho.  They are battery operated tealights that I got from fleabay.

 I made these a couple of years ago as my 3D swap at the SU! Convention in UK at Addington Palace.  I have changed them up a bit by using the Champagne glimmer paper from the seasonal catty and the Sweater Trim also from the seasonal catty.

 I saw these on the internet last year but could not get hold of the skinny bags anywhere, but this year we now have them in our main Catalogue, so I could make them.  I don't remember where I saw them first but if anyone knows who the original make of these is then let me know so I can credit them.

Again I don't remember where I saw these but thought they were super cute and had to make them.  Both these and the legs sold extremely well but do take a little while to make.

This is a piccy of my table set up and ready to go at one of my fairs.

I look forward to reading your comments and visiting you to see what you have done.

Until next time

Woohoo New Catty

Hi Guys

Well today sees the launch of our new annual catty and what a fab catty it is.  We are now in line with the USA and have nearly all of the products that they do (with tthe exception of My Digital Studio and personalised stamps).

To mark this day a few demonstrators are having a blog hop and you should have come here from the fabulous Lynn's Blog and will go on from here the also fabulous Elaines blog.

Well here are my creations for the blog hop

 My first is a card which uses from the Autum/Winter Catalogue, Scentsational Season Stamp set and dies which come as a bundle and save you 15% off the individual prices, what a bargain!!  I have also used one of the new in colours which is Gumball Green and teamed this up with Cherry Cobbler.  I have used Teeny Tiny Wishes for the greeting and the bow is another new product which is the Sweater Trim in Gumball Green.  It also comes in Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.

My second is a mini accordian matchbook in Cherry Cobbler.  I have trimmed it with the Christmas paper from the Main Catty called Be Of Good Cheer.  I have used the new Gumball Green Stitched Satin ribbon with a Designer Ribbon Slide.  I have then wrapped it up with some of the super gorgeous, super soft Scalloped Tulle Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler.

If you want to start from the beginning then you need to go to Laura's blog.

I hope you like and you have fun on the hop looking at all of the fabulous products and samples produced for you.

Until next time happy crafting

A wedding in the air

Hi Guys

Well this is the first of many to come and I hope you like it.  I was commissioned to do a wedding card and here are the fruits of my labour

They wanted it all in cream so I had to make it pop out and did this by adding texture with embossing folders and the flowers.  I spritzed the flowers with the champagne mist shimmer paint.  I also edged the main mats with the platinum shimmer paint.  To add some chic bling I have used basic pearls.

I hope you like and until next time

Happy crafting
