Catch Up

Hello, I,m slowly getting caught up with everything work is nearly up to date and the washing was going well untill the bloody thing flooded the kitchen this morning (still not mopped it up but its tiles so wont damage anything).

Not had chance to photograph the newer stuff I have made which is all new products from the mini my box arrived yesterday and have loved unpacking it all.
So heres some stuff I made a while age for my last workshop.

These were made with the Vintage Labels set, Very Vanilla C/S and some Old olive DSP.
This was the make and take I love this set Baroque Motifs a lovely big image so cards are quick to make with it. Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue C/S with some lovely Choc chip ribbon.

This card and gift box are in Pretty in Pink C/S with a bit of Tea and Crumpets DSP the flower is from the Bloomin with Beauty stamp set another favourite of mine but then I say that about all the stamp sets.

Right off to mop up the water from the kitchen wish me luck.

Happy Crafting Jayne xx

Blomming With Beauty

I had a marathon stamping session the other day, I was playing around with ideas for a stamp class using this stamp set, I was inspired to buy it after seeing a card on my Stampin Up mums web site, Monica is truly a talented and very kind lady, pop over to her blog the link is in my favourites.
I used the same basics for eacvh card just played around with the colours, and although they are rather dark on here they all look fantastic in real life.

The first was Elegant Eggplant


Elegant Eggplant again different layout.



Using Real Red

Using Real Red and some Real Red Designer Series Paper

Using Taken with Teal

Using Pumpkin Pie

And this is a similar card to the one Monica created, I made it for my Sister in Laws birthday and she loved it (I hope).

One tip I would like to share, as I found out to my great annoyance, when stamping the black spots with the huge dots background stamp, I recommend using your stazon ink pad, I did originally use my black Stampin Up pad but found it took an age to dry and ended up smudging two cards before trying the stazon pad.
