Wreaths are not just for Christmas

They are for Spring too! It is only one month today until Good Friday so I think it's time I showed you my first Easter Card. I have used the dies that I used for my Christmas wreath but I have used the lovely Spring stamp set called Circle of Spring (page 77 of main catalogue) this really is the set to buy for all your spring projects (especially if you bought the die set for your Christmas projects) as it covers most occasions. You get the wreath, the little flower and bow and six sentiments. I used the large background stamp Hardwood as my back drop and added a bit of bling with the bow which I die cut from the lovely new Blushing Bride paper.

So for all occasions whether it's Easter, Mothers Day, a spring Birthday or a simple Thank you this set has got it all.  Here's hoping we soon get the Spring weather to match all the lovely Spring projects we are going to make!

A Rose for Valentine's Day

Good morning, just popping in for a quick post to day to wish you all a lovely Valentine's weekend, I know some of you are celebration tonight so I hope you have fun!

Thought I would share this rose I made recently using the Bouquet Bigz Die (page 175 of main catalogue) this is a must have die if you like making flowers.  This makes so many flower and leaf variations (not just roses) and because it's a bigz die it can cut fabric easily too.  Think of flower brooches or adorn bags and cushions with flowers and leaves!! Just put "Stampin' Up Bouquet die" into a search engine and you will be amazed at the ideas that come up!

So here's a Valentine rose for all my lovely customers and viewers-

Birthday Blooms

Good morning, are you ready to start your new week? I am! I'm planning on setting aside some time to make a start on Easter, I only realised recently how early it falls this year (25th March) I am going to organise some dates for classes so I need to get the creative ideas flowing!

In the meantime I'm sharing a square card I made using the fabulous set Birthday Blooms, so versatile with this lovely big rose, a small single bloom and three sentiments (the fonts are beautiful), a row of hearts and two small detail images. This would be a great set for many occasions, birthday, thank you, wedding and even sympathy, for a crafter starting out I would recommend this set.

I've used the colours watermelon wonder, crumb cake and a little pear pizzazz on the leaves. I'm loving the beautiful new watermelon wonder ribbon, it so luxurious. It would be wonderful wrapped around a special present to match the card.

 

I've included a photo of the set as I wanted to let you see how wonderful it is, just look at the detail of the flowers and those fonts!


Hope I've inspired you to set aside a little time for yourself this week to get creative!
