Newsprint Roses

Hi Everyone todays card has very little stamping on it which is quite a change for me but it just suited this card. My inspiration for this card came from one of my lovely ladies –Vicki Marshall who kindly demonstrated a card very similar to this one at the Hethersett Card group that I run (the original card can be found on my Craft club blog).

The roses were made using circles from the Circles # 2 die & the lovely First Edition Specialty paper.
The Greeting is from Perfect Pairs stamp set & is stamped onto a piece of Very Vanilla which was cut using the Decorative Label punch.

Day 5 - Showcasing Sale-a-brations –Sprinkled Expressions

I loved yesterdays layout so much that I’ve made another version of it. This time I’ve added some extra products – Red Glimmer paper (which is not a true description as its more like card than paper) & my favourite pearls.

I have to admit that this card did take longer to make as I wanted the glimmer card to appear through the heart which meant taking my scalpel & cutting out the heart. I made sure I also saved the smaller hearts that appear in the middle of the main image so I could stick them back on my glitter heart & using glue I added red glitter from the Fine Galaxy collection (114286) to the hearts tumbling out the bottom.

The other punched out hearts were made using the Small Heart punch (117193) with the ones made out of the glimmer paper being raised on Dimensionals (104430). These are the only 3D foam pads that I use now as they are the only ones I have found that do not discolour my card or fall off after a few months.

Day 4 Showcasing Sale-a-bration - Sprinkled Expressions

This week I’m going to concentrate on another Sale-a-bration set. This one is called Sprinkled Expressions (w125130, c125132) & again this set could be yours for FREE when you spend £45 on any current Stampin’ Up products.

As you can see this set consists of 6 stamps – 3 images & 3 really cute sayings so this makes a really useful set to have in your stash.

Taking just 1 of the images plus its matching sentiment here is something I saw originally on someones blog (when I find the blog again I'll link it here). I have tweaked the original design & here's my version:

The ribbon is in the current catalogue & comes in 10 super colours & if that is not good enough they are all double sided which in effects gives you 20 choices.

If you want to own each of the colours that will cost you £69.50 but for only £7.50 you can have a metre of each colour if you take part in my ribbon share. Let me know if you want to take part but be warned I only have 5 shares left.
