Dr Who - Tardis Birthday Card

Afternoon everyone,

Just a quick post to upload a special birthday card I made for the special guy in my life... He's a huge Dr Who fan, something I know nothing about so I did a bit of searching online and came across a blog showcasing the Tardis card with template! Yipee! I couldn't wait to get started on this, everything is made using Stampin' Up! products, except the computer text. Okay, here's the card below:

Dr Who - Tardis - Front View


Must dash as I've lots to do, but be back later this weekend for all the details for this card and more pictures from a different angle or two.

Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy your Friday :)

Stampin' Up! Class - Bundle of Love

Hi everyone,

Well today has been a lovely day, a double whammy actually because I had my first Stampin' Up! Class of the new year, and also an Open House Afternoon for my customers to showcase the NEW Idea Book & Catalogue that was released yesterday and a chance to play with new goodies :)

I preordered Bundle of Love from the new Catalogue and wanted to use this for my Stampin' Up! Class. No sneak peeks were allowed on my blog till the 1st October and so I managed to keep the projects a surprise from my ladies until this morning and glad to say, it was a hit!

Vintage Vogue - New Colours.

Yay: Happy Saturday everyone and welcome to the weekend :)

After receiving the new colours from Stampin' Up! recently, I couldn't wait to break open the packaging to play with my new favourite colour - YES, I'm in love with Melon Mambo!

Vintage Vogue Card

Hi all,

Hope you're well and looking forward to the weekend.

I've been playing with my Vintage Vogue stamp set of 8 stamps (that I received at Reading Training) to make a few 4x4 cards for a lucky Hostess and really have enjoyed playing with the different stamps to create five different cards and matching envelopes. I recently ordered the Very Vintage wheel to co-ordinate with Vintage Vogue stamp set and christened it for this card.

Here's the card I demoed below at a recent workshop. I will upload a new one each day and then the final holder I presented them in.

5-Petal Flower & Boho Blossoms Punch Birthday Card

Hi all,

Well, I'm here with another upload for today :) I've had my 5-Petal Flower punch for some time now, but I can count on one hand how many times I've actually used it on a card/project! It co-ordinates beautifully with "Spotlight On Christmas" on P.22 and the old Sale-A-Bration "Polka Dot Punches" stamp set, see here to view a Christmas card that I made with this punch back in November to create poinsettia flowers.

Anyway, together with Boho Blossoms punch, here's a recent card I made below:
