Craven Time 2 Stamp

The biggest news for me from the new Autumn-Winter Mini is that we are getting the Sizzix Big Shot Machine!!!

I am so excited to share with you all the fantastic things that this machine can do with you in the coming weeks and for me it is hard to know how I did without mine.

Another fantastic thing is that Stampin’ Up! has released some exclusive dies that co-ordinate beautifully with their other products that are NOT available in stores, they are only available through a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.

One of these dies is the Fancy Favor Die. It cuts and scores this cute little bag. all you have to do is add some adhesive and you are all set to go!

Happy Stamping

I just love how Stampin’ Up! co-ordinate their products. Everything matches and just looks right together!

This little project is one that Andrea Walford included in her Countdown  to Christmas and I thought what a lovely little gift for someone,

It is a little folder that holds 4 magnetic Bookmarks. It is tied together with some of the beautiful Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon. I really love how it turned out and I will be making a few of these to give as gifts. You can never have enough Bookmarks!!!

Stampin’ Up!’s new Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue starts on the 1st April and can I tell you it is jammed packed full of beautiful stamps, paper and new accessories. I have been having so much fun over the past couple of weeks playing with all my new toys and I can not wait to show you some of the things I have made.

So has a countdown to its release date I will be showing you a couple of things I have made. So be sure to check back over the next few days.

The first thing I wanted to show you is a card that I cased from the mini:

I have made one in each of the 3 NEW In-Colours. Don’t you just love them? from April 1st you will be able to buy A4 card, stamp pads and matching ribbon in these colours. I have also used a stamp from the Cottage Wall Stamp Set. But even better check out that cute little bird. He is a punch that cuts out all 3 pieces in one smooth punch. GORGEOUS!!!!!

I have mailed out the Mini Catalogue to all my customers so keep an eye on your letterbox. This is one catalogue you sure DO NOT want to miss!!!

 I have been making some Easter treats for my son to give to his Kindy Teachers I made this cute little Easter Egg Basket and matching card with some Paper from The Afternoon Tea DSP.

I have also made some of Makeesha’s Easter Baskets following the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. I made a matching Mini Pizza Box filled with little eggs.

These are for my son’s swimming teacher and Speech Therapist.

I recently found this great little Tea bag Holder while surfing the net for some inspiration. I found this one here on Nichole Heady’s blog, however as you can see I have changed it slightly to suit my needs.

This cute little card could hold, tea, coffee, hot chocolate or anything you like.

I have put 2 coffee bags in this one as the person I am giving it to loves a good cup of coffee just like me. Sadly we don’t get to have one together very often due to family commitments so I thought it would be nice to give her a couple of coffee bags for her to enjoy and think of me when she has the time.

 When you open the holder up there is space where you can write  your message. I have added the same Circle Circus Embellishment as on the front.

Here are a couple more examples I have made:

I have had a few people ask me for an update on my beautiful children.

Miss Sophia is now 6 months old and is just delightful. She has started to crawl and has the most beautiful smile and cheeky laugh.

Archie is growing up way TOO fast. He keeps telling people that he is a big boy now and that he goes to Kindy. He is very good with his little sister and constantly showers her with cuddle and kisses.

I am a very lucky Mum!!!!

 As soon as  I saw this project on Madonna Dunn’ssite during ESAD_SU’s recent Sale-a-Bration Blog Hop, I just knew that I had to make one.

Of course I had to “pink” mine and surprise, surprise I have once again used some Candy lane DSP.

I think this is such a great gift idea. It it file folder that holds 6 cards and their envelopes on 1 side, while on the other side there is a little pocket that contains 6 stamped greetings all ready to add to the front of the card.

This way the person you give this to can pick and choose which greeting they would like to put on the front of their card.

 This way the person you give this to can pick and choose which greeting they would like to put on the front of their card.

I have used some of my Flower Fusion Too stash as well as a variety of Stampin’ Up! brads to create the flowers on the front of each card.

You could easily change the colour scheme as I have done to make a beautiful gift set to give to someone special in your life.

Thanks Madonna for a lovely idea!!!
