Still working away

Hi all!
I'm still working on great projects for the upcoming sale in St. John's, I haven't had a chance to get pictures uploaded yet but I promise to post some new projects soon!

My summer mini pre-order should arrive tomorrow (hopefully I'm home from work in time for the UPS man!)

There are some fantastic changes coming for the new catty in July, can't reveal them yet but let's just say being a hostess is going to get even better (if you can believe it).  If you want to get your hands on some new product right away check out the Spring Is Blossoming promotion on now!

Thanks so much

More new creations

These are 2 mother's day cards I've done for the Fresh Fish craft show and sale in St. John's May 1st.  I don't have a mother's day greeting stamp at the moment so these don't have a greeting on them that makes them obvious mother's day cards but I think you can feel it.  This card uses the Slice of Life stamp set from Sale-A-Bration.  I also used my Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  I just love how it adds that little something something to cards - it's that extra layer of interest.  I can't make a card without it right now!

The image is coloured in using Stampin' Pastels and a Blender Pen - and of course, I used some Basic Rhinestones!  I love them, the bling just makes them pop :)

Hope you enjoy.  I'm working on some more great projects, maybe you'll see them later today (grad cards, mothers day tea dates, fathers day cards will be coming soon!!)

And on a personal note - I start my new job on MONDAY!!!!!

Summer Mini Pre-Order!

Just placed  my Summer Mini Pre-Order!!  I had to keep it small, I don't start work until monday and I'm not sure when my first payday will be but I'm still super excited!  I'm also participating in a swap for the summer mini so I'll have some great samples to show!

Big Shot and other fun stuff I've made today :D

So I've spent today playing with my new toys!!
Here are some of my samples for today.

This is my first Big Shot card.  I CASE'd the sample from a card I saw on the Stampin' Up! demo discussion board, Stampin' Connection.  There are a bunch of samples like this so I won't like all the creators - but I won't claim to be the creative brain behind this one.

This card used the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder  and the Punch Bunch Sale-a-Bration stamp set.  I also used some retired ribbon and cardstock.

This card also features Punch Bunch using the Square Scallop Punch. This uses Pacific Point cardstock and ink, Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon as well as Basic Black cardstock.

This card is based on the same theme as the Happy Birthday card above again using Punch Bunch.  This card also features what are my current obsession - Rhinestones.   I love them, they're on almost every project I do if I can possibly get away with it.  They add so much and they're super deal.  This card is in Tempting Turquoise and Basic Black.  

 Same card as above but in Concord Crush. The blue is retired from a couple of years ago - I just loved the way they looked together.

I don't love this card, but it's a first try.  This uses the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as well as Stampin' Pastels and Smooch Spritz.

This card I adore.  This uses the Birthday Bakery hostess set.  Again I used my rhinestones :)

I also used a Versamarker to emboss the cake plates.  I'm not 100% happy with how they came out but I think it adds a little something something.




I'm still playing - I have lots more cards to make in the next few weeks.  The Fresh Fish craft fair is coming up in St. John's and my sister and I plan to have an amazing table!
