It's beginning to feel like Spring!

Tuesday, 9 February 2016

Here it is February and in some parts of Canada it is feeling like Spring.  On the West Coast some of the snow drops and crocuses have started to peek out!  I know that's not the same across the country!

I want to share with you the Weekly Deals from Stampin' Up!  Again some really cool items this week!



Here's a card I made last year using the Butterfly Basics stamp set - I love this set!


I also wanted to share with you a card made from the Picture Perfect Stamp Set in the Occasions Catalogue - when I saw the hummingbird I knew I had to have this set.  


I used Mint Macaron and Hello Honey for this card.  The hummingbird is a 4 step stamp so I used the Mint Macaron, Hello Honey and Mossy Meadow.  You can't see it in the picture, but I used the gold Wink of Stella to add some shimmer to the tail, neck and belly of the hummingbird!

Finally back home - Time to Share

Sunday, 17 January 2016

It's been a crazy two weeks for me - one week in Regina and then on to Orlando for meetings.  It was interesting going from -20 Celsius to +17 Celsius!  I'm back home now and promise to get back to blogging on a more regular basis.  I plan to get to my craft room and play with some of the new products from the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalogue to share with you.  I did get some cards made before I left - just didn't share them :(

Here's a couple of samples from the Occasions Catalogue.

The first card is made using the Balloon Celebration Stamp Set (Item 140675) with the coordinating Balloon Banquet punch (Item 140609).  I cased the sample on page 13 of the Occasions Catalogue since this is the card that made we want this bundle.



The next card uses the Birthday Blooms stamps set on Water Colour paper.  I water coloured the image using and Blender Pen and So Safron, Blushing Bride and Cucumber Crunch ink pads. To embellish I added a Bow Paper Clip Embellishment.
