Crazy For Cupcakes

Morning :)

Hope your weekend was a good one and you managed to see some sunshine :) My weekend was good, busy with the workshop and some crafting.

Thought I'd make some cards using Crazy For Cupcakes seeing as it was out for the workshop and it's a stamp set I have not used in a long time. Made a card or two in different colourways :) Loved the card by Jules, so have taken inspiration from her card that she recently made.

Here's a Crazy For Cupcake Birthday card for my collection:

Thank You...

Hello blog,

WOW: I heard we were going to get snow by Monday, so was I surprised to see it was falling hard from the sky earlier today :) I so love seeing fresh snow on the ground, and even better when I walk in it and hear the crunching underneath my boots! lol.

Anyway, I wanted to share some cards I recently made for a few special people to say "thanks". I've used my new Stampin' Up! stamp set called "Seeing Spots" that I received as part of my Starter Kit and decided to use the different stamps in the set with different colour ink pads so that I could create three different cards. Hope you like:

First card I did, I used my two favourite colours - Bashful Blue and Pretty In Pink.


Recipe
Stamps:-
Seeing Spots (2008-09) -
Set of 6 stamps. Available to buy in the current UK Idea Book & Catalogue 2008-2009 - P.50. I have used two out of the six stamps.
Circle of Friendship
(2008-09) - Set of 8 - P.60. I have used "Thank You For Everything Over & Over Again".
SU Cardstock - A4 Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Pretty In Pink - P67-69.
SU Ink Pad - Bashful Blue and Pretty In Pink - P.69.
SU Ribbon -
Taffeta Ribbon - Pretty In Pink - P.80.
Nestabilities - Circle.


Okay, here's another Thank You card that I've made using the same stamp set as above, just chose two different stamps from the previous card:


Recipe
Stamps:-
Seeing Spots (2008-09) -
Set of 6 stamps. Available to buy in the current UK Idea Book & Catalogue 2008-2009 - P.50. I have used two out of the six stamps.
Riverting
- Set of 8 stamps. Not available in the UK catalogue yet. This is a Retired Set from the US Catalogue. I have used "Thanks So Much".
SU Cardstock - A4 Whisper White, Certainly Celery and Apricot Appeal - P67-69.
SU Ink Pad - Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal, Basic Black - P.69.
SU Ribbon -
1/4" (6.35mm) Grosgrain Ribbon - Certainly Celery - P.80.
SU Ticket Corner Punch - Only available to buy from the US catalogue.
SU Stamp-a-ma-jig - This tool is a god send!!! It helps me line up the stamps perfectly so that I could ink the outer circle with Certainly Celery, and the inner circle with Apricot Appeal :)
Nestabilities - Circle.
