Floral Friday - Painted Petals Notecards

Hello and happy Friday!  For me its now "le weekend" and a couple of days off work, so I am hoping the weather is going to be as nice over the next two days as it has been during the week!

I thought I would try to introduce some regular themes to my posts on this blog - and today its the start of Floral Friday.  I have a ton of gorgeous Stampin' Up! floral stamps so it should be easy to keep it up right?!  Lets hope that life does not get in the way! :-)

So today, I have a couple of cards using the Painted Petals stamp set - and as you probably already know I just love this set as its so pretty and you can do so much with it, so fingers crossed it will be in the new Annual Catalog which launches at the beginning of June (very excited to see what new products we will have to play with!)

I am adding this card to the following:
Through The Craft Room Door - 21/04 - 27/04 Anything Goes



Materials Used:
Stamp Set - Painted Petals
Ink - Crushed Curry, Rose Red, Old Olive, Sahara Sand
Card - Whisper White, Old Olive, Rose Red, Whisper White notecards

2014 -15 Annual Catalogue Retiring Items


Hello!  Well, you may have seen that the retiring items from the 2014 - 15 Annual Catalogue were posted on the Stampin' Up! website yesterday, and goodness what excitement that caused!  So much so, that the ordering website, and demonstrator sites were either very slow or offline completely - very frustrating for customers and demonstrators, especially as once we got onto the website to order, we found that that bits we really wanted were already gone! 

Stampin' Up! have been working really hard to get things up and running for us, and I hope that you are still able to get a few of those items you have been thinking about getting!  So please pop on over to my shop if you want (NEED) anything!

I thought I would share a photo of a Christmas gift box using the Curvy Keepsake die (thankfully NOT on the retired list) which I made using a stamp set which sadly IS on the list!

Materials Used:
Stamp Set - Project Life Holiday Cheer (I love this set!)
Die set - Curvy Keepsake die
Card - Real Red
Ink - Whisper White craft stampin pad (looks great on kraft card!)

Materials Used:
