Congratulations Chris - Bronze 2!

Chris my sis-in-law has now achieved her bronze 2 award so I have made her this congratulations card to mark the occasion.
Cased from a swap made by Karen Fagelman (sorry that I can't link to a blog, but no details given) this card uses the Cheers to you stampset which I thought was very appropriate, stamped and coloured using Regal Rose to co-ordinate with the cardstock, and the DSP is from the Subtles stack.

Springtime Vintage Cheers

Here's a card made using the great new Springtime Vintage DSP and the "Cheers to you" stampset. The papers are simply to die for and I have other samples that I will tempt you with later!

Another Birthday Card for Richard

Chris (sis-in-law) and Chris B came over today to have a quick training session on the website and ordering. Chris (sis-in-law) placed her first order - which was quite exciting, especially as she saw how many free stamp sets she was getting!! She now can't wait for this order to come. We made a quick phone call to Demo Support, when Chris spoke to Chris and then passed him on to the other Chris - it was so funny - 3 Chris's together. Anyway, Chris from demo support was able to tweak the system to make both the other Chris's appear in Demo Locator - in his usual efficient fashion - he is so helpful.
Chris (s-i-l) brought her not quite finished card over and borrowed my star punch to put the final touches to her birthday card for Richard (my nephew in Australia) and I asked her if I could share this with you - and here it is. I think its lovely, it uses the Cheers to you stanpset and the (now retired) Sweet Pea papers.

Mens' Card Candy

Saturday was our All Day Training Event in Leeds and it was absolutely great, Chris (sis-in-law) and myself had a fab day. I came home utterly inspired - so much so that I decided to do a Man's Card Candy - and here it is.
I have used Cherry Cobbler, Marine Mist and Pear Pizzazz cardstock and inkpads.
Stampsets used were "Cheers to you", "Party this way" and the Sale-a-bration "Punch Bunch".
Various SU punches were used.
Once again I am pretty impressed. My craft classes will be doing this card candy this week as they are always stuck for inspiration with mens' cards.
