Hello and welcome to my crafting blog. If you are new to visiting me, thank you for stopping by! This is my personal space where I talk about the latest creations that I've made using various crafting products.
If you are looking for a commission or inspiration on a particular card or occasion, please scroll down and take a look on the left hand side at the "Labels" column where it will list cards by occasion and by Stampin' Up! stamp sets in alphabetical order for easy viewing. Just click on one of the titles to view the various cards and boxes in your chosen category.

Enjoy your stay, and if you have time, please leave a message to let me know you've dropped by :)
Hope you're well and looking forward to Friday :) Thought after my earlier sneak peek of the Confirmation Cards, you'd like to see another commission that I can now reveal. A number of invitations and purse boxes along with a large A5 card was commissioned by a lady who's celebrating her special Granddaughter's birthday this month.
I'm so thankful to all of you who sent special good luck wishes my way for my first SU Open House Day that was held at the weekend :) I received a beautiful card off my upline, Carole on Friday which was a lovely surprise to wish me good luck as she was unable to come on the day. I haven’t managed to take a photo of her card yet, so I’ve copied and pasted her card from her blog (hope that’s okay Carole). Here it is below:
So, on Saturday it was my first SU Open House Day and I'm pleased to say that it went very well. I thank so many people for making this possible, my Mum and my beau especially as they helped make the day run smoothly and a success :) It all kicked off at 1pm and I opened my house to friends who have a passion for crafting. I had a pleasant turnout and thank Janet, Elizabeth, Erin, Alison, Debbie, Adrienne, Sandra, Barbara and Pauline for coming and making my event a fun and successful one. We had a lot of fun making a couple of cards for a make and take session and the ladies all went home with a stamp from the SAB promotion Polka Dot Punches to play with :) Hope you've inked them up ladies!
It was lovely to have met so many new faces on Saturday who share a passion in papercrafting, a hobby I can't get enough of! I can't wait to see you all next month in my cardmaking class :)
Below are the make and take cards the ladies were able to make.
Round One
The ladies were able to choose to make a card either in a combo of Rose Red/Pretty In Pink/Regal Rose, Certainly Celery/Apricot Appeal/Barely Banana or Night of Navy/Ballet Blue/Bashful Blue and had the option to stamp it up in either the baby rattle, birthday cupcake or birthday present from the stamp set Occasionally with a sentiment from Fun & Fast Notes.
Here are the pictures of these cards:
Round Two
For the ladies that were able to stay for longer, there was a second make and take to make using the Loads of Love stamp set and Loads of Love Accessories with various tools such as the Stamp-a-ma-jig, Crop-A-Dile and different sized tag punches.
Here is the completed card using Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel and Designer Paper Series.
Also, displayed in the lounge I had a table full of various Stampin' Up! literature, SU goodies that I've been making over the upcoming weeks. I know so many of you are dying to see more than my sneak peeks that I posted earlier last week, so here they are in all their glory. Hope it was worth the wait.

Right people I think you've probably got square eyes by now what with such a long post from me.
Well what a busy weekend I've had crafting-wise :) Next Saturday is my SU Open House Day, so until then, I've been busy making SU goodies to show off for the day so that people can see the potential of cardstock, rubber stamps and an ink pad or two! Not only can you make cards, but other 3D items too or scrapbook layouts, the potential is limitless.
The other week I uploaded a couple of pilllow boxes that were made using Loads of Love stamp set and Fun & Fast Notes, so I decided to make a few cards to match.
Below are sneak peeks of all the items I've been busy making over the past weekend. Hope you like and will return after next Saturday to see all the 3D items and cards in their full glory :) Enjoy...
