The Perfect Blend after 20 years!

Hello Crafters. It was my Brother and Sister-in-law's 20th Wedding Anniversary this week. Now my brother is a coffee addict and I personally think he's Starbuck's best customer (and probably Nespresso too!). They meet up with friends in Starbucks most Fridays after work, so when Stampin' Up! released this new stamp set called Perfect Blend, I knew it was perfect for this special couple. Here's the card I made for them.

I thought I'd share a quick card I made for a family member this week. It's a wee tease for you since I'm giving you a preview of some lovely new colours - Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Crush and stamps that you can earn FREE as a Hostess, once the New Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue launches on Tuesday. There are so many exciting products being launched in the new Annual Catalogue. Give me a shout if you'd like to buy the new catalogue from me or if you'd like to earn one for Free by hosting a fun Stampin' Up! Party in your own home anytime soon with your friends, family and neighbours.

Two by Two Birthday

I love this easy card that I made for my neice and nephew's 2nd  Birthdays. The single Two by Two stamp by Stampin' Up! is perfect for this card and coloured in using Stampin' Write Markers and a blender pen for shading..

Have a good day and

Double Side-step 70th Birthday, Shabby Chic!

 I was asked to make this for my sister-in-law's Mum. As the heading says, it's a Double side-step card using a few pieces from the gorgeous Artisan Embellishment Kit on page 10 in the Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer Catalogue 2013

The roses were made by gluing small hearts using the Small Heart Punch for the small roses and the heart die from Hearts a Flutter dies. The pretty pretty bow is made using the Two Tone Ribbon 1 1/4" in the new Spring Catalogue. I sprayed on some Gold Glow Smooch Spritz for a perfect finish.

Keep on Crafting,
