New In Colours

I wanted to show off some of the new In Colours so I made a card with Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals. The White layer at the bottom is part of the new Oval Accents Die ... it's huge, fills a whole card front. I'm going to love playing around with it!

Uncle Dick's 90th

It's my Uncle Dick's 90th Birthday this week so I wanted to make something to mark the occasion. He was a young pilot in WWII out in Burmah, I can't even begin to imagine what life was like for him back then. I used the new set "Papaya Collage" for his card, it's a touch feminine, but I don't think he'll mind! This set is very easy to use, you just layer it up and hey presto, you achieve something wonderful! There's no extra distressing on this one, I loved just a touch of vintage which the set provides. But imagine it all sponged up and spritzed. I feel another one coming on!!!!

On a 'technical' note. I used all new ink pads and wanted to let you know that they are amazing. The pad itself is much juicier with the new design and you ink up your images with total ease ... look at the coverage on that bird? So much better!

More new Stampin' Up Goodness

More new goodies to show you. This set is called "Make a Cake" and the sentiment at the bottom is called "Itty Bitty Banners" ... the best bit? The banner is cut out with a framelit called "Bitty Banners". Isn't that great? So easy to use, stamp and then cut. These are 2 of the new In Colours ~ Raspberry Ripple (darker) and Primrose Petals (lighter). Don't forget that ribbon? I took a closer pic so you can see better ... it's 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain. I'm going to LOVE that stuff, so easy to tie :)

New Stampin' Up Goodness

I received my pre-order from Stampin' Up this morning. This FAB set is called "Carry On", I couldn't resist it! It will be a hostess set in the upcoming new catalog. This is uber CAS, I just wanted to try out the new in colours and new ink pads and new framelits ... and, and, and! So Here are 2 new in-colours. Midnight Muse and Gumball Green. The new 'foam' ink pads are AMAZING, no more working hard to get a solid image stamped up. They are juicy and spongy and wonderful. Love them! I am about to pull out some more new sets so I may have a couple of blog posts today (you have been warned!)
