New Flower Set

Afternoon

Well, what a wash out today but we were warned and I suppose we need the rain…

I have another cold so thought I would pamper myself with doing a bit of stamping in between sneezing and used one of the other new Stamping Up sets I got from Jo at the weekend.  This is a gorgeous stamp set and thought I would near enough copy from the catalogue just to give me an idea while my head is too foggy.

The ink is Brilliance, love the shimmer on it, in pink and lilac  with a hint of lime green from a big flower outline stamp I bought ages ago with just a bit of decoupage in the centre.

Tempting Trees

Morning

Well, we had our lovely crop at Moordown on Saturday, so nice to be with the girls and scrapbooking.  But I still love card making the best and as I belong to Jo’s Stampers 8 and I had my hostess gifts and stamp sets given to me at the crop, I had to play with them the next day. 

Jo had given me a lovely thank you gift card with this Tempting Trees set on it from Stampin Up which is so great  so I have lifted her design as such but different colours (her card is gorgeous and I am still learning) - she is such an insipiration on colour and design my friend Jo - go to her blog and have a look, Stampin N Stuff, for her beautiful cards.

I have used Turquoise temptation and Sunshine yellow for one card and on the other the green is from my stash, but they make cute little cards don’t they.  If you have never looked at the stamps sets from Stampin Up you don’t know what you have missed - I want them all!

Have fun,

Julie

Orange and Green

Well, two posts in one day - still on the subject of autumn orange and green today I was looking in my now tidy stamps drawer to try and find some old stamps I hadn’t used in a very long time.

The flower and leaf stamps were going to be thrown out but thought I would leave them for one more season and I do like stamping.  They are so old I cannot remember where they came from, same with the papers which I unearthed on my massive tidy out.

 The tree is a new stamp though from David and Brenda at Craft Obsessions and is part of the Christmas sets brought out by Penny Black which are just lovely (I have been making a lot of my Xmas cards with this one!) - so hope you like them.

Autumn Colours

Morning

Well, it’s yucky outside even though we really needed the rain.  I have been very busy lately hence no updates but have had a chance to do a few cards this morning in between the boring household chores on my day off.

I do love this Gorguss girl stamp, she is so sweet, and wanted to give her an autumnal feel with all the leaves dropping like crazy outside.  The paper is from Craftwork Cards, such a lovely weight and silky, ribbon from Jo at Stampin Up as is the sentiment stamp and the earth elements pens used for colouring, other card and jewels from my stash.

Hope you like them…
