Up and away

 Hi there, hope your weekend is going well. I thought I’d share today a couple of cards

from an old SU set Up and Away stamps and Lift me Up dies.

Both were inspired by Emma Goddard, Coastal Crafter.

The first one has two panels of blue on foam pads, striped paper panel behind,

Balloons from an old kit, and a few clouds.

Next is one using up some strips of paper left over from another project, 

glued to a some white card, used for the left panel, and also behind the balloon die, 

using the pattern on the other side of the paper strips.

Stitched clouds blended with blue ink added.

Lift Me Up

 A very Happy Birthday to a very special young man....

I made this card at one of Kim Fee's workshops many moons ago.

I loved it so much I've found it hard to let it go.....but fly it must :)

Have a good day

Lift Me Up!

Hi there!

I needed a quick card, 

this stamp set seemed apt, not had it out to play for a while.

Nice and simple, with a few snippets of white card stamped and die cut,

means I can enter the Snippets Playground yipee!

If you've no idea, click on the link and visit this fab blog for inspiration, prizes and more!

I need a lift.......my Dad's carers have given them 2 weeks notice as they can no longer provide him

their service due to staff shortages..........took so long to set up, and there's limited choice out there.

Carers have been overworked and underpaid for far too long.

It's about time they were valued for the service they provide.

On a positive note, we are doing a sponsored walk for Parkinsons UK,

and have been overwhelmed with support and donations.

So, every cloud..... :)

I have a Just Giving page if you feel able to donate anything.

Meantime enjoy the rest of your weekend,

may the sun shine for you wherever you are

Lift Me Up for a swap

I enjoyed playing with Lift Me Up so much,

I decided to do a swap based on it for a recent training day...

I took some of the new In Colour Card

stamped a "few" bits

die cut the sentiment with a cloud

(close up of the "how" in case it helps you do the same)

die cut lots of dinky hearts using the Window Box Thinlits,

and added some fine tip glue to give a sheen to them

shame the colours don't show well

a close up of the detail

I have used lots of teeny tiny Snippets, and it's about time I took a run, skip and hop over to the

Snippets Playground

to enter the fabulous challenge there.

Do join me on the swings if you can!

I hope you are enjoying the weekend,

and your new catalogue!

Card Buffet (1)

I always try to do something different at my classes,

so decided to try a kind of card buffet recently.

I'd fallen more and more for the Lift Me Up Bundle from Stampin' Up!

(which incidentally won't be available as a bundle, from 31st June,

so hurry if you want the bundle discount!)

I had all the stuff in a basket to make one card, and the idea was,

you could choose a basket, make the card in it, then return it,

and choose another basket, and so on.

I had about 6 baskets, and they all ended up making all 6,

as they were quite simple designs.

There were however, a couple of ladies, who weren't listening,

and almost mucked up the system......you know who you are!!!

Anyhow, I thought it would be nice to show you them,

so that you can make them too if you like,

so here's the first

Stamp the background, die cut a section, lay it back in, lined up on foam pads,

stamp the "note" on patterned paper, cut out and lay over the word "note"

We went for a bike ride this morning, and had to take this pic of a group of "friends"

I hope you are enjoying the weekend.....

Lift me Up!

Here's some swaps with a balloon theme..... all sorts...some full of hot air!

Annette Hopgood

lovely water wash background, with glittery balloons, party on!

Kim Fee

Just love the layout, the sentiment,, a really up up and away one!

Charry Wijers

love the colours, how she's edged the clouds with ink,

and you probably can't see she embossed the balloon with a ball tool to make it 3-D!

The paper's pretty cool too...
