DAY FOURTEEN - Garden Meadow Thank Yous

Good morning. After oversleeping yesterday morning I was up at a proper time today, so lots of time to catch up on the old tinternet.

The weekend went by in a wizz but we certainly had an enjoyable one. I spent lots of time catching up with folk I havent seen for a while, time with family and hubby and I watched a few programmes we had be saving up.

I even got a lot of photos filed away, I shall keep working on them as I do.

Here is a picture of a few thank you cards I made to give out in January. I used a Stampin' Up! stamp set called Garden Meadow.

They are small notelets, just a 4"x3" card. I used memento Ink to stamp the basket of flowers and then had a couple of hours colouring them in with Stampin' Up! Blend Pens and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I had forgotton how relaxing colouring in actually is.

I am doing a little bit of training with Stampin' Up! so a few changes are afoot. I am learning more about social media and how to use it, who said you cant treat an old dog new tricks. One day at a time though.

Thank you so much for having a read. Do comment below if you get chance, I love to hear from you. Tracey x

Friday

DAY TEN - One Sheet Wonders and a Starter Kit Offer

Good morning and we have woken up to another cold Friday in our neck of the woods. -5 this morning and it looks like the cars outside are lumps of ice, oh my. Well I am going no where until later today so it wont bother me. One of the benefits of retirement.

Another birthday card that was sent out in December. This is a one sheet wonder card. I stamped the images over a whole sheet of A4. I then went in and blended over the white areas. Stamped a few more images out on little bits of Basic White card and cut them out. It was just a case then of cutting down the large A4 sheet into 4, matting them on to Misty Moonlight card and putting both layers onto the base card. I do always use Thick Basic White card as a base card.

A sentiment was stamped, die cut out and then popped onto dimensions to place on the card. A few of the cut out flowers were added along with 3 Basic Rinestones placed in an elongated triangle around the sentiment.

I dont have too many one sheet wonder A4 sheets ready to go so that is a day I must organise February 25th, which is a Sunday will be a One Sheet Wonder morning and afternoon. If you fancy joining me, please do let me know.

DAY EIGHT - Garden Meadow and so much news

Good morning it is such a cold day in our neck of the woods however, the birds are singing away outside the window. I think its a blackbird or two, such a wonderful sound to hear.

I would grab a cuppa if I was you as there is so much to tell you.

Today I have hospital appointments to go to so its a case of de-icing the car and getting it warm before venturing out. It is a good job that the times are a little later so hopefully, the roads will be clear but the temperatures wont be getting up much above freezing.

Here is a card that I have had a play with for a friend that like to do a bit of gardening.

I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp out the image and then coloured it in with Stampin' Up! Blending Pens. I really enjoyed making this. I wasnt too sure about embellishments but now that I see it in the photo, I will go and add a few. I layered the image on more white card. The stamp set Garden Meadow and the co-ordinating dies are currently on the last chance list and at £10.80 for the bundle, its a bargain. They will co-ordinate perfectly with a brand new of gardening stamps that have only just been released.

Speaking of releases, did you know that Stampin' Up! have released a brand new Mini Catalogue that will run from now until April? By clicking on the image below it will open it up for you to have a browse.

Not only that, there is the Sale a Bration brochure that runs for two whole months.
