Kelling Cards

Sorry for taking so long to post these. I just got to grips of Windows live & then I made the mistake of accepting a recent update & then could not fathom out to blog using it arghhhhhhh.

Here are the cards as promised.

Card 1

On this card we stamped using the Fine Flourish (115709) & versamark ink before embossing with white embossing powder (100963). We then overstamped again using a butterfly from Flight of the Butterfly (111564) & embossed it carefully again with white embossing powder. You do need to be careful not to burn your previous embossing.
It was then coloured from the underneath before finally being cut out.

On the border strip you will notice 3 pearls which are from our new basic pearls. I'm sooooo excited about them, they come ready glued & you get 150 in a pack. Previously they were only available in the Pretties Kit & those of you who know me well, will know I loved the pearls so much that I resorted to sawing the pearl beads in the kit up so that I did not run out of my beloved pearls. So I'm now 1 very happy bunny :-)

Here is a close up of the butterfly

I have been busy honest......

I know that I have been a very bad blogger recently but it's not because I have not been busy far from it, because I've been so busy I have not had a chance to take & edit photos of all the projects I have been working on.

This week has seen me getting together with my fellow demos & finalising the projects we will be doing at our Stampin Up Experience Day & I can promise you will not be disappointed with what we have got planned for you......So keep watching this space for some sneak peaks which will be coming very soon. And for anyone who are thinking about coming please be aware that we have only 10 spaces left so if you do not want to be disappointed you need to book your places now.

I have recently been really enjoying making cards & projects using punch art as the focal point & anyone who has attended my recent demo's & parties will have seen all my Punch Art resources. Which are basically laminated sheets of all the punch art creations detailing the punches that have been used. I promised my daughter she could give all the creations a name. I only asked that she ensured the 1st letter of their name was the same as the 1st letter of the creature them self. In hindsight this was not one of my brightest idea given that I ended being a spider!!! & this is what my dear husband ended up being ........

But a promise is a promise.........so we're stuck with them now.
