Welcome if you have just come from Karen's blog (http://kerenbaker.wordpress.com/) I hope you have enjoyed the Hop so far.

I have used the Big Shot Yes WE have it now, for my projects. The first is the Pillow Box made with the new die and decorated with the new exclusive Butterfly embosslits die don't they look sweet? Next I used the Milk Carton die I used the new designer papers Botanical Gazette and one of our new Beveled Windowpanes together with the Beautiful new Seam Binding in Rose Red and Pear Pizzazz. The final one is a card with our new and wonderful Owl Punch What everyone has been waiting for !!!!! How cute is this?

I then used the Big Shot flower dies for my next project these are Felt Brooches made with a few of the Flower dies and our new lovely buttons. I backed these on to Very Vanilla card stock and stamped with the Tea Dye inks from the Distressing Kit with our lovely new Stamp Set Strength and Hope this set is just so lovely it is sure to be popular for many different occasions.

Well that's my examples complete I hope you like what you have seen and please contact me if you have any questions or need any products. Bye for now and thanks for taking the time to look. I will now pass you on to my lovely Downline Clare (http://sparklecrafts.blogspot.com/) who has more fantastic projects for you.

Welcome to the Blog Hop if you have arrived here from

Theresa's Blog (http://my-next-chapter.blogspot.com/)

I hope you enjoyed what you saw. All the cards and boxes below have been made using the new colours from Stampin Up and punches and stamps from the Mini Catalogue. I have used The Cottage Wall Designer Paper these are just so lovely. The card Stock is Rich Razzleberry which works just great with this Designer Paper. It is called paper but the quality is that of card. I have used the Vintage Vogue Stamp set from the Mini Catalogue which I just love as it is so versatile. The punch I have used is the lovely Bird Punch again this is such a useful punch you can even make flowers with the Birds Body!

I hope you have enjoyed what you have seen and look forward to you coming back soon. I will now pass you over to Elaine's blog (http://elaine-stamp.blogspot.com/)

2010-03-27T17:21:00.002Z

It has been such a long time since I posted on here but I have been busy running weekly classes. These are some of the cards and boxes we have been making over the last few weeks! I just love boxes and bags and my ladies do too.

Satchel/ Bag

2009-06-16T22:25:00.003+01:00

I saw a few of these Satchels made up and just had to try one to-day I decided not to add the handles on this one so it is more of a bag which can hold a few cards that you could give as a gift. This design was made by one of the very talented ladies on ILWS and I just love it. I will up load another project tomorrow. I have been a bad blogger lately but I will try to get back to weekly updates.

2009-04-12T18:55:00.002+01:00

As you can see the Rabbit fits into a large envelope.

I covered and decorated the Heart shaped tin in SU designer papers and filled it with pink crafty goods for a friend( less Fattening).

2009-04-12T18:45:00.002+01:00

Hi everyone sorry I missed posting last week I was busy making all these Easter goodies.

I made a few cards and boxes to match, one of which I saw when I went to our Regional Training Meeting it was the pink one the lovely Val made hers in yellow and I just had to make one.

2009-03-01T17:44:00.001Z

Another view of my Scrap Book.

2009-03-01T17:39:00.003Z

This is a view of my house when we had the snow a few weeks ago. The snow lasted nearly two weeks here and I couldn't get out for a few days. It did look lovely but after a few days it just becomes a nuisance.

2009-03-01T17:23:00.004Z

I made this Scrap Book with the I Wish Kit from Stampin Up I really enjoyed doing this I have posted another couple of views of this in the post above.

Contact me via my Blog.

2009-03-01T17:19:00.003Z

I had a workshop recently and we made this back pack and the flower pot card I posted earlier. We all had great fun doing these.

2009-03-01T17:01:00.004Z

This card was really easy to create with the Lovely as a Tree stamp set from Stampin Up I love this set you can do so much with it. I brayered the pink on to white glossy card stock first then I used encore gold refill and finished by dabbing all over with rubbing alcohol which created the veined effect. I then layered it on to pink and black card stock and stamped the Christmas message with a stamp set from Stampin Up.

2009-03-01T16:57:00.003Z

This was another swap I did on ILWS it was real fun to do. I used the sizzix dies for the flowers and Stampin Up Textured card stock for the flower pot and some red checked ribbon. I also used the Yummy stamp set that was on special in February.

2009-03-01T16:54:00.002Z

This is a little 3x3 love note swap I did on ILWS. I used the Snow Burst Stamp Set by Stampin UP.

2009-03-01T16:43:00.002Z

This is the Christmas Card I sent to all my Family and Friends I made 60 cards ( so lots of Family and Friends) sorry if you did'nt get one.
