Thank you.. ..

Thank you cards are perfect go avid card markers...they're needed all year round! 😄
Today's inspiration has been created using stamps and pattern paper that are not only exclusive but...Free too! They are available for a limited period called Sale-a-Bration if you're interested in knowing more just ask 🙂

Start as you mean to go on...

Now all those who know me ,Cary that is not Gill, know that I'm not very good with dates and keeping my dates in order! Soooo I made a calendar at the last craft group we held in December that sits on my desk ( otherwise called the dinning table 😉) ready to keep me on track!
This is quite a picture heavy post so take five and relax ☺

Happy New Year...

Welcome 2017 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Gill and I would like to wish you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous new year
Today's sample has been created using a wonderful and sadly underused product that stampin up carry called heat and stick powder. This powder is used with versamark then heat embossed to create an adhesive image that you can then apply glitter to to create  beautiful images 😀
Happy crafting
Cary and Gill xx

Action....

Cards that do something are a favourite with me so when I received these 2 I was a very happy bunny! The first is a multi tasking card. It's  a card and a gift all in one ! Made by the lovely  Rebecca Willmore

This little beauty is so sweet. A little take on the popular twist and pop card made by the very cleaver Pauline Barnfather 

Five for fun...

These 5 gorgeous cards were created by our team mates and all feature stamps and product from the up coming Spring summer catalogue and the fantastic Sale-a-Bration offers that all start on the 4th of  January and are exclusive to stampin up  ☺
This beauty is by Fiona Whitten

This cutie is by Kim Fee

This sweet one is by Bridget Metcalf

The elegant card is by Lesley Lendon 

 

And last but most definitely least this lovely card by Jan Frances-Dicks 

Star swaps. ..

Today I'm sharing the card I created for a recent group swap held between some of our fellow Stampin ' Up!  Demonstrators.
My card is a monotone using silver and a soft green shade called mint macaron.
The stamps used are all going to appear in the up coming Spring summer catalogue from Stampin ' Up! . If you'd like a copy please contact us and we'll get one in the post to you ☺

Congratulations. .

Today's inspiration was inspired by the little gift bag. I was lucky enough to meet Rosie Minors at the Stampin ' Up! OnStage local event in November. Rosie and her team were creating in the hotel we were all staying in and being a crafters they allowed us to join in the fun ☺so I was  lucky enough to make one too 😉 so inspired by the bag I created a coordinating card ☺
