Remember that the 5 in colours from 2010/12 have been discontinued so everything using those colours has gone. Ink pads also appear on the retirement list, they are changing the firmness of the ink pad so in future we will have the new style.

 

 

Tomorrow I will post a link to the new Autumn/Winter catalogue, so grab a cuppa, print off the retirement list and if theres anything you would like to order email me on Jackiedasilva07@gmail.com

 



Diamond Wedding

The 24th May is a very important day in my diary....its another double celebration with my youngest sons birthday and my mum and dads wedding anniversary. This year though is a special year....18 years ago today I gave birth to my son and 60 years ago today my parents got married. To see my card for Andrew pop over to my other card blog. My parents card was made with Stampin'Up products except for the 60th and the diamond wording, only because I dont have anything suitable in my Su stamp stash.

First of all the stamps....Apothecary Art from the new mini catalogue. I stamped this simply in Silver pigment ink and then I stamped the "Congratulations" stamp from Curly Cute. My orginal idea was to stamp and emboss with silver embossing powder but after a quick rummage in my bags remembered "its a box" somewhere all packed up for the move....{ I would be very rich if I had a pound for everytime I have said that already these past few weeks!!}

The stamp was then cut out with the framelits dies and I cut another on in Silver mirror card. The diagonals on the back was done with a scoring board. I do not have the SU one yet but its on my wish list as its got a diagonal plate which would have been much easier for me to use.

Finally I used some of the white satin ribbon to make a bow and I used the word window punch for the diamond sentiment. Each cross over had a diamond gem attached....I know its abit ott buts its not often I make a diamond wedding card..lol!! I also found some hat pins which I attached behind the ribbon...these can be brought at most good craft shops.

Hope you are all enjoying the fab weather, back soon before I loose touch for a while.

Last few weeks of Sale-a-bration

With everything else going on recently I have not had time to play with anything from the mini catalogue let alone the SAB promo but I have had a couple of birthdays this past week and decided it was time to play with the fab papers that are free when your order over £45.00. They are similar in design, I have just used different stamping techniques.

First one...

uses the My friend stamp set from the mini catalogue and I have stamped with white pigment ink and then embossed with white embossing powder. First time I have played with the ribbon punch and check out the dotty brads in the In colours collection. The colours in the papers are Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Peach Parfait, Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, Very Vanilla and Soft Suede. The patterened papers are called Everyday Enchantment. The sentiment is from the Curly Cute set. All finshed off with some seam binding.

The second one ......

was going to be sent abroad so I did not want to add brads so I added some of the Sizzlet Button dies instead. I just stamped the main image with Luck Limeade ink and I added the Hello wording from the My Friend set. Really love this colour palette, so fresh looking!

If anyone wants to order anything I am placing an order this weekend.
