Kraft and Vellum Card - Stampin' Up!

Today's card is a Kraft Christmas Card

The new Kraft Card from Stampin' Up! is really beautiful and although you can't see my sentiment because of the watermark (sorry about that) I used Peace and Joy from the FREE Stamp Set, Good Greetings

The stars are punched out with the Bitty Accents Star Punch and just one on the right hand side is die cut using the little star from the Thinlits Circle Card dies

I used the Circle Framelits and ran a piece of Vellum Cardstock through my Texture Embossing Machine using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder

Thanks for stopping by

Until tomorrow............. I have quite a special card to share! hope you can pop by for a look

Envelope Punch Board Bow card

Happy Sunday!

I thought I would share a really simple card today it's one of Stampin' Up! Note Card size cards and using the Envelope Punch Board to make the bow..... well I was demonstrating how to make these bows in one of my recent classes and since I had it made...... the card was born

I used the Moonlight designer stack for the bow and the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder that I ran through the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine

Love the thick Bakers twine, here is a closer look at it

Thanks for taking time out of your Sunday to have a peek, if you would like to purchase any items to make today's card.... make a visit to my On line Shop

Until next time .......

Stampin' Up! Gift Bow Bigz L die Card

Sorry for lack of posts over the weekend but it was a busy one in our little household, mainly shopping for a new computer, I felt like I was in and out like a fiddlers elbow! so not like me!! I'm normally such a home hermit and it through out my blogging time.

I did get to do some crafting yesterday and have a lovely project to share tomorrow, hope it makes up for a couple of days of nothing for my regular readers?

I have a card to share that was shown at Convention in Salt Lake city, not that I was there but I have seen a few of these around on blog land and new I would have to make one

It's a card that looks like a present too

Here is a close up of the bow, it's a great Gift Bow die and in the Autumn/Winter catalogue and certainly is not just for Christmas

When open the insert is attached to the top opening flap and automatically shows the greeting

Love the idea and change up the colours and greeting and it could be for any occasion 

I have a lovely project to share tomorrow 

thank for stopping for a look today

Until tomorrow............... have a great Monday!

Charming Stampin' Up!

Happy New Year

This is a card I did in a recent class showing how to use the Stampin' Up! embossing folders where it leaves part of the card plain for stamping in......

So clean and simple and I'm using one of the new stamp sets from the Spring Mini, it's only 2 days to go before you can order from this...... this set is called Charming and I used Stampin' Write markers in Rich Razzleberry and Lucky Limeade on the flower stamp and Crumb Cake on the words.

Have a great day! ............. Until next time ......... be crafty .........

Stampin' Up! All White no stampin' required

I know I must be getting boring but where does the time go? no sooner a week ends the next one starts again but I hope you all had a great weekend, mine was quite a relaxing one not doing too much, maybe that's where the time went! no where! because I didn't do enough! I think that the busier I am the more I do the more I think I filled my time and therefore had more time.... does that make any sense at all?

Anyway, onto today's card......... NO STAMPIN REQUIRED on this oneI used Stampin' Up! clear scallop bigz square die to make the card base, embossed it using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, swirls and scribbles die, Manhattan Flower embossing folder and Beautiful Wings embosslits die.

Added some pearls and Organza Ribbon.

Nice close up of all the pretty butterflies

Hope you like and have a good week.

I'm off to Reading but will try and schedule some posts for the rest of the week later today.

............... Until next time ............. be crafty ................
