Warm Winter Wishes.

Remember I said that we were having a shoe-box swap yesterday -

 well here is one of the projects that the group that I was in made.

This is to prove to Sally-Jo that I actually completed my project once I got home.

(I actually completed it this afternoon as I was totally shattered once I got home yesterday-

after 6 hours crafting with just a short break for lunch and the occasional coffee to keep us all going!!)

The colour combo is Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Very Vanilla.

The "snowflake" is the centre section of one of the flowers in the Mixed Bunch stamp set.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to make this fabulous hanging decoration Sally-Jo!

Mothers' Day

Here's another Mothers' Day card that I have made - this time for my friend Nicky.
I have used the Square Lattice embossing folder inked this time with Pacific Point. The leaves are from the Extra large bird punch and the flowers are a combination of the Boho Blossom punch and Itty Bitty Bits flowers stamped and then punched out. Finishing touches - the gorgeous Organza Ribbon and Basic Pearls (tho' there's nothing basic about them - they are beautiful!)

Just what I always wanted!

Well it's here at last - the Mini catalogue - and isn't it well worth waiting for.
We now have... the BIGSHOT Die-cutting (and embossing) system, plus several dies that are unique to SU, plus embossing folders and much, much more.
The card below demonstrates the Square Lattice embossing folder, which I have inked with Regal Rose before putting thru the Bigshot. Isn't the effect great.
I have also used the new "Four frames" stampset inked in Regal Rose and then punched out with the new Decorative Label Punch. I have stamped in Regal Rose tiny flowers using the new "Itty Bitty Bits" stampset and then punched the flowers out using the new Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.
I really went to town using a load of the new items from the mini on this card.
I haven't decided who is going to receive this yet, so I have left the punched Modern Label blank for the moment.
Right I had better get back to tidying the cubby hole and Utility room - the tiler is coming to measure up for the floor tiles later this afternoon.
