3 x 3" card set

Hello to you all
 I have a set of 3" x  3" cards and box to share today.
I have  made my cards smaller but I love the idea
of stamping my own Designer Paper.
I hope you like it.

 I have designed my own designer paper  by
stamping the leaf out of the Lovely as a Tree stamp set all over some whisper white cardstock.

I used three different colours of green. I got this idea from watching a You Tube video by Gez .
The video can be seen here 


Sorry it is picture heavy
The green cardstock is Mint Macron

Notepad and pen sets

I have been trawling You Tube just lately and found these
gorgeous notepad sets so decided to case them.
I got this from Angelina here if you fancy a go. I have used
papers and card from the Subtles range at Stampin Up.

Lovely as a Tree

 Hello to you all

I know this stamp has been around forever.
But I imagine lots of people don't own it, I couldn't wait
to get my hands on it and I am not disappointed. The details
are superb. I have stamped it onto  a background
of Distress ink.
I hope you like it.

onto Whisper White card and framed this with
some Balmy Blue cardstock

Fancy Fold

I suppose this is back to basics really, I remember when I first started paper crafting  this
was one of the first folds I learnt ... There are plenty of you tube videos showing how
to make this, here is a link to one if you fancy having a go.



I have used  Stampin up Tranquil Textures for this
I hope you like it

My team leader #Amanda has challenged the team to share something made today 
in three places. So I have made a male Gate fold card for you today .

I hope you like it

Die cut an oval and two frames and glue the two frames together,
put to one side 

Cut a piece of cardstock 10" x 6" and score on the long side
@ 2 1/2 " and 7 1/2 " and fold

cut your DSP
2@ 5 3/4 x 2 3/4 for outside
2@ 5 3/4 x 2 3/4 for inside
1 @ 5 3/4 x 4 3/4 for inside
adhere this onto your cardstock

Adding glue to just one half of the  oval stick this
to the left hand side of your card

Now position the frame to fit the sentiment and again just glue
to the right hand side of the card

Decorate the inside with another oval diecut

I decorated with some butterflies and a button

Another Beautiful You and some Stampin Up News

Hello to you all....
Well I expect you have noticed I have been using a lot of
Stampin Up products lately...... I have decided to become a Stampin Up
Demonstrator. 
With that in mind you will see some changes to my blog
over the next few weeks, 

I do hope you will still follow me and my
projects, nothing will change I shall just be using Stampin Up products,which
considering I have been paper crafting for around 10 years I have not used before.

Hopefully I might persuade  one or two of you to try
the products yourself.. 

Anyway I just thought I 
would keep you in the picture as to what
will be happening .
