Hello

Hello fellow readers and Happy Weekend to you.
It has been awhile I know and time flies when your busy.
This past week is like a whirlwind. First I get the flu and stuck in bed for most of the week.
Then I find out I got a new job and then Friday it was my husbands birthday.
So now it's catch up time.
I had the chance to make a card that I wish to share today.

Just a small card using Basic Grey and Daffodil Delight colours.
The papers are from the Autumn/ Winter Mini Catalogue "Attic Boutique" and they make a lovely background for this card.
I used a stamp from the Elementary Elegance set and as you can see I used the "Hello" sentiment.
Well that's a short post from me today.
Stay healthy everyone and see you next time.

Michelle

Ingredients:

Stamp Set: Elementary Elegance

Ink:Basic Grey

Cardstock: Whisper White and Basic Grey

DSP: Attic Boutique

Other: Dimensionals, 1 1/4 " Daffodil Delight Striped Ribbon

A couple of reasons to Smile

Hello blogger fans.
I hope it's nice where you are. Lately it's been dull with the weather here,
so I thought I would post something to make you smile.
Firstly, I wish to share with you a card I made for my dearest friend's daughter who just had a birthday.

This s a 4x4 sized card using Whisper White cardstock. The patterned paper is Sweet Shop from the current Autumn/Winter Mini. The stamp set is Outlined Occasions from the recent Sale-A-Bration catalogue.
My hand cut flowers came from the stamp set Topsy Turvy Celebration
I do like the outcome so the cutting was worth it.
The colour pallet on this card is Wisteria Wonder, Rose Red and Concord Crush.
To finish it off, all the flowers had diamante s  placed in the center.

The second reason to smile is this month's promotion.

Many Thank You's

Good day to all of you in blogger land. I hope you are all nice and refreshed after your lovely weekend.
I am posting a card I cased from the lovely Connie Babbart.
I loved the layout of her card and need to make a Thank you card for someone special.

I dragged out my Vintage Vogue stamp set and gave it a go.
I decided to use Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White for the colour pallet.
The DSP and brads are from this years Sale-A-Bration catalogue called Everyday Enhancement.
Once cutting out the flowers I placed the brads through them and stuck them on with dimensionals.
A short post today and I will be back with more to share soon.

Sweet Shop Birthday

Good day to you blog readers.
Sorry I have been MIA for awhile, but I have been lapping it up in Qld going to both the Sunshine Coast
and the Gold Coast to cerebrate my twins 10th birthday.
Today I would like to share with you a card I made for a dear friends of mines' daughter who turned 6 yrs old.
I can't resist using the "Sweet Shop" DSP which you can see here.

Stamp set "Sweet Cake" is made for these papers and with a little bit of glitter to me it looks like frosting.
The color pallet this time is Soft Suede,Pool Party and Whisper White.
The final touch is this cupcake brad which is so cute.
I hope this finds you well.
Until next time.

It's Your Birthday

Hello and Welcome to my blog.
I hope your weekend was relaxing and fun, as mine was. I had a Mother's Day card class yesterday with some lovely ladies and I will post soon what we made.
Today I wanted to share a Birthday Card for a dear friend and wanted the opportunity to use the new framelits from the new Mini catalogue.

I also used a small piece of Twitterpated DSP and copied the look of the pleated satin ribbon.
The colour pallet is Island Indigo, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral.
I used the "You  Are Loved" stamp set for the center image as I love to colour on rubber using Stampin' Up!'s markers.
I hope you enjoyed today's post  for use of some new items.
Thanks for stopping by.

Up, Up and Away!!!!

Hello readers and welcome to another day of sharing.
You may notice that I do a lot of childrens birthday cards and no wonder because I do have 3
children currently under the age of 10yrs old. Parties and birthday's are always requiring cards to be made
and I am fortunate to be a demonstrator with Stampin' Up! to get to do them on a regular basis.
I made this card for a boy and I got my inspiration from a Shoe Box Swap from Stamp Camp last year.
It is so much fun to see what someone can come up with when handed the stamp set and come up with a creative way of using it.
I loved the idea with the window and phrase showing on the front and inside of the card.
The stamp set used is Up, Up and Away and the papers are called "Big Top Birthday".
Well I hope you like it and inspired you in some way.
Until next time.
Michelle

Sweet Cake

Hello to you all and welcome to another post.
It's so exciting to get something new and it's like Christmas all over again.
I'm talking about the new goodies that are available right now until July 31st from the new Autumn/ Winter Mini Catalogue.
I'm loving the new DSP Speciality Sweet Shop and I'm sure you'll agree the papers are just so cute.

The stamp set I used for this card is called "Sweet Cake" #127520  which comes with the cupcake and 3 sayings. I used glitter to make the cupcake look like frosting.
The other new item that was used is the Textured Impressions Embossing folders # 125601( Bracket).
It's just something different to give that curved edge.

My colour pallet is Soft Suede, Calypso Coral, Pool Party and Whisper White.

A New Mini and Sample Card

Hello fellow readers and welcome to another post.

I'm so relieved that after two days of suffering I'm finally over my migraine.
I'm lucky that my kids and hubby try all they can to help me when I get these and try to make life as easy as possible for me.
Now that I've got that off my chest here are some special news for you.
Stampin' Up! has release their new Autumn/ Winter Mini Catalogue for 2012 and you can order your copy NOW from me here.

Personally I think that this is one the best Stampin' Up! has released yet and you'll agree with me once you see it for yourself.
Lots of new items and you'll just want the lot.
I thought I would share a sample card of a couple of the new products from the mini to show you what I mean.

Doesn't this look yummy?
"Sweet Shop" DSP is very cute and would make the perfect Birthday Scrapbook page also.
I also used the new "Sweet Cake" stamp set. Not that you can tell from the photo, but I did use Crystal Effects on the cherry to give it that glossy look.
Well that is all from me for now and I hope you like that little teaser to get your juices flowing and to get you busy making up that new wish list.
Thanks
Michelle
