A Nice Cuppa

Pin It

Yesterday I made a card using some more new product that arrived in the BBB yesterday.

I'm loving the Occasions Catalogue, I think it might be the best one that Stampin' Up has put out.

My wish list was/is still long.

Today the Stamp Set is A Nice Cuppa.

 The colours I have used are Soft Sky, Lost Lagoon and Whisper White.

There are 11 photopolymer stamps in the set.

 I have used this weeks sketch  CYCI#104 from Can You Case It Challenge site.

 

The lace stamp is from Grateful Bunch Stamp Set also in the Occasions Catty.

I love that it looks like the tea cup is sitting on a shelf or table with lacy table cloth on it.

I cased this idea from Lyssa from Song of my heart blog, she is a US demo.

 I used a Tea Lace Doily for the circle shape on the sketch.

Grateful Bunch is set of 8 Photopolymer Stamps and there is a matching punch to match to the flowers in the set.

 I stamped the tea cup first in Softy Sky, them stamped the words in Lost Lagoon on top.

The I used the matching Cups and Kettle Framelits Die, with you can buy in a bundle and save 15%.

I untwisted some retired bakers twine to separate the fibres and tied a bow with it.

In the inside I stamped the lace border and a sentiment.

Go and look at the CYCI site, there is still plenty of time to play along.

Three Birds with One Stone...

.... But One got away.

A few weeks ago I joined a new challenge site "Try Stampin' On Tuesday".

Last week was the first opportunity for me to have a play, but I missed the deadline (one got away).

Here is the sketch from last week.

 I used the colour combo from JAI 60.

I love this colour combo.

I'm involved in a 'Unoffical Swap from the last round of UStamp with Dawn and Friends', for the swap we had to make an Autumn and Mother's Day Card.

So here is the card that I'm entered in JAI 60, was meant to be in Try On Stampin' Tuesday # 6 and is my Mother's Day Card.

I now have to finish another 5 of these cards for the swap, I have done the Autumn Card, so I hope to have them in the mail by Thursday.

My autumn card was so involved, I struggle with CAS (clean and Simple), so I challenged myself CAS mother's day card. 

I done think I achieved that, what do you think?

I have already received 2 lots  of swaps.

I will show you all the cards I receive when they have all arrived.

Go and check out 'Try Stampin' On Tuesday', they have another great sketch for us this week.

Also they are also offering Blog Candy if they have 50 followers by the 31st of March.

So what are you waiting for, Go.
