SAS Project Tuesday

This is my take on the Project Tuesday project. I have not added the hole for a bottle to go through. I had problems trying to get a hole with my cricut. I need to get some of the stampin up ones but that will come when I build up my stash.

I used green galore, rose red cardstock. The ribbons are regal rose and so saffron. The stamp set is tart and tangy. I cut the circle and scallop with my cricut. The DSP is from the K& Co Berry Sweet stack. Loving K&CO at the moment.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you cards

These were made using my new tart and tangy stamp from stampin up . The spotty paper is from imaginisce - its called Lady brid ball i think! The ribbon was my free so saffron - its very nice to work with.

The green cardstock was from my stash - not stampin up as I need to get some certain celery. The circle and scallop were cut with my cricut using mini monograms. I made 6 of these cards very quickly.

They are very simple but I love them for that. Clean and simple.

As always I love to hear what you think.

This is a super generous blog candy. There is so much listed. I think it is definitely worth a look.

Card made with Stampin UP Haul

This card base was made using some pale green cardstock from my stash. I was actually in the middle of making the card when the parcel came. I was just thinking of waiting til Friday to finish the card when the doorbell rang. How weird!

Anyway I cut 1 inch off one end. I also cut 11/2 inches of basic grey papers - the name escapes me at the moment. I used my MS punch to punch the end of the DS paper.

I think tied my new certainly celery ribbon round the edge. I also tied a proper bow. It looks so sweet. The ribbon is fab it ties really well.

I then cut a piece of 12 x 12 cardstock core dinations - not sure of the colour. I put it through the cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder.

I used my hostess stamp set to stamp the sentiment. I inked the edges of both the white and green cardstock. I stuck them on with dimensionals.

there you go. I was pleased with the result. Hope you like. Let me know what you think. I Love getting feedback.

Stampin Up haul

This post will have 7 pictures in it so it will be quite a long post. I didn't expect to get my parcel til Friday so it was a very nice surprise when I got a knock at the door this afternoon. I almost hugged the poor delivery man - luckily for him i restrained myself!

This is the Tart & Tangy stamp set.

I have wanted this stamp set for ages but I have kept putting it off. I am sooooo glad I bought it. I ripped it open and started playing straight away. Great quality stamp.

The next thing I bought was a chocolate chip stamp pad. I am a bit of a pansy potter (is the strong mans daughter lol) at times - at least that's what my mum and dad used to call me cause I always break things. Anyway the second time i opened the stamp pad i took the lid right off. Luckily I was able to fix it (Phew). It stamps really well and the coverage is great on stamps.

I also purchased the Rich regals A4 assorted pack. i am unsure of what colours I like yet as I am new to Stampin up. My theory is to buy all the sets and then re-stock the colours I use alot of! Will let you know how it works for me.

I also got the Bold Brights stampin write markers. Just for my Tart and Tangy set. They are so good. They put on a nice strong colour and also look great when stamped. Very cool.

Now for the most exciting part for me. As the party was a success I got loads of free stuff - YIPEE! Firstly I chose my level 1 hostess gift. I chose the stamp set called A Little bit of Happiness. It is very cute and my next post will show you the card I made using some of my new stash.

I also had some money to spend on more products. So i chose to spend my pennies on ribbon. For my money I got - real Red 5/8 grosgrain, chocolate chip 5/8 grosgrain, brocade blue 5/8 grosgrain and regal rose 5/8 grosgrain. All the ribbon I was wanting in fact. WOO HOO!

My freebies do not end there. As I spent over £45 I also got the free ribbon bundle - I got 10 yards of certainly celery and so saffron.

I now have lots of fabby ribbon. Just need to add some papertrey ink ribbon and I will be in heaven.

Another Birdhouse

I am so obsessed with these fab little birdhouses. They are just so cute. I love making them cause they are just so easy to do. The cards at only 3 x 3 are just so ickle that they are so sweet. I love the creams, browns and oranges together. They look so yummy.

Would love to hear what you think. Lesley

Update - I just had a question on the project from the lovely Emma. Emma asked how I got the envelopes. The envelopes were cut on my cricut at 4 inches using my wild card cart. Lesley
