PRETTY IN PINK

Cameron is back at school and the house is finally back to its former glory! Oh how I have missed my finger print free television (during the day anyway) and biscuit-less carpet!


It's lovely outside and with the sun streaming through the kitchen windows and Ava gurgling sweetly but loudly next to me I put this cute little card together.

A Pop Up card!

Who knew there were so many great card ideas out there? This card folds flat, the recipient will really get quite a treat when they open the envelope! 

Cardstock:Ruby Red, Whisper White, and Cameo Coral

Ink: Pumpkin Pie (love it) and Basic Grey

Stamp sets: Fun and Fast notes and All in the Family

Accessories: 1/4" Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon, Uni Ball Gel Pen

Non Stampin' Up!: Colouring Pencils

GET WELL WISHES

Sigh...


Cameron seems to have had a relapse and its getting increasingly hard for me to see my little man in such a state. Last night I decided to have him stay up with me as he was far too bunged up to sleep. We sat in the kitchen and crafted together, I did all the cutting while he did the stamping. Hasn't he done well?  Here is what we made.

A Get Well Pouch.

I really like this idea, its cute and quirky and is sure to make the recipient feel better.

As you can see, I have filled mine with a Cuppa Soup and Lemsip, just what the doctor ordered!

Cardstock: Green Galore and Regal Rose

Ink: Pixie Pink

Stamp sets: Stampin' Around Handel with "Its Beautiful" Wheel and "Fun and Fast Notes"

Non Stampin' Up! bits: Envelope and of course the soup and Lemsip, LOL!

 

MINI TREAT BOX

Well, Cameron is doing better. He is still ill though, so as the Easter holidays begin on Friday I have decided to keep him at home with me for the rest of the week to make sure he is fit and well sooner rather than later. 


Yesterday, we all rested! We needed it, after a shaky night with my "baby" (he tells me to pack that in)! This meant no crafting and I can tell you that I rather missed sitting at my kitchen diner thinking up bits to make and stamping cardstock, quite missed chatting with you too actually.


The children are sleeping now and so I have made a quick and easy mini treat box filled with sweeties. Not sure if you can see but I have covered the punched hole with a bit of acetate (window sheet). I'll probably give it to Cameron when he wakes up. Now, granted its not very boyish but I just love this stamp set and these colours...Sorry Cam, LOL!

Cardstock: Whisper White

Stamp Set: "A Beautiful Thing"

Ink: Pixie Pink and Green Galore

Accessories: 1/4" Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon and 1 3/8 Circle Punch, medium window sheets, corner rounder

 

DECISIONS, DECISIONS

Hello folks! Well I have been busy trying to plan my workshop as well as get myself some much need custom. I have designed and printed some flyers and sent letters and emails to as many people and social organisations as I could think of. I have had one response so far but it's still early days so I am staying upbeat!


I have made yet another Easter " Make 'n' Take", I hope I can stick with this one! I keep finding cool things to have a go at and while the card below was great, perhaps it was not simple enough. I am trying to show my guest's how fun and easy paper craft can be, I don't want them taking notes and worrying about making mistakes! What do you think of this?

Ingredients:

• A Good Egg Stamp Set
• Stampin' Around handle with "It's a Beautiful Thing" wheel
• Regal Rose cardstock
• Certainly Celery cardstock
• Whisper White 1/4" Grosgain ribbon
• Pixie Pink Ink

It was very simple and quick to assemble! Not sure if this is the greatest snap though but it's the best I could do with a crying 4 month old in the background, tee hee!
