Stampin ' Up! Sale-A-Bration Is Coming To Scotland!

Ok, most of you out there will not be as buzzed as I am about this news, bit I hope you love that I am and having been looking forward to this for many months.

Last week I managed to make my Swaps for the meet and today I finally managed to get my name tag all completed.

I used Tempting Turquoise and Smoky Slate cardstock for the background and Whisper White for the flowers and the ticket.  I used Smoky Slate to stamp the flourish and Basic Grey for my Admit zone ticket.  The flowers were stamped using Petite Petals, the ticket using That's The Ticket and the flourish using Flowering Flourishes.  The ticket and flowers were then punched out with their co-ordinating punches.

I used the Tempting Turquoise for my name and some marled white cardstock I had in my stash.  Using my Sizzix Eclips I cut out my name and adhered the white and turquoise letters together before adhering them to the name tag.

I then used my crop-a-dile to punch out the gold Glimmer Paper circles and adhered them to the centre of the flowers and the dot on the 'i'.

I am so excited about tomorrow and to catch a glimpse of what the new catalogue will bring for 2015.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Take care of u.

Cute Notelets Using Stampin' Up! Products

A few weeks ago I made these notelets.  I hadn't realised I had not put them up on my blog so rectifying that now.

I made a few of them and I am loving Gorgeous Grunge right now, I think it's perfect as a background stamp.  

I used Choc Chip and Tempting Turquoise cardstock on a Whisper White card.  The ink is Crumb Cake and Choc Chip.  I used my Petite Petals punch adhering them onto the card with glue dots.  The rhinestones are from my stash.  

These cards measure 4"x4".

Flower Card with a Gold Accents

Tonight I have been making more cards.  I used Baked Brown Sugar card stock and Petite Petals punch.  The background cardstock and flowers are Whisper White.

First using Crumb Cake ink I stamped the card using a stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.  I love this set as they provide wonderful background accents without being too intrusive into the rest of the card.  Using a sponge dauber, Crumb Cake and Soft Sky ink I then highlighted around the edges of each flower.  Using the back of my inkpad scrubbing pad and the end of a round pencil I pressed the flowers into the foam backing to make the flowers curl.  I then used Candy Dots and adhered these to the middle of the flowers and adhered the flowers using glue dots to the card.

I then used my leaf scoring tool from my Susan's Garden toolkit and scrap pieces of gold card, which were remnants from die cutting Christmas words I cut a few days ago to make some Christmas cards. I am a terrible person for not throwing away even the tiniest scrap of paper and on this occasion I am really glad as these leave shapes in gold I think make these cards simply amazing.

So of course the 'amazing you' was then heat embossed using gold embossing powder.

All these products can be purchased from me.  Please click on the tab link above and this will take you directly to the Stampin' Up! order site.

I hope you have had a great day.  Take care of you.
