More Bears !

EMBOSSED BABY BEAR This is clearly my favourite stamp set at the moment and I have been trying out lots of different colour combinations and techniques. Here are the finished cards and underneath I have done a step by step photo guide - which is a first for me. The bear is stamped in smoky slate and dapper denim, sponged in marina mist.  Bear is stamped in soft suede and early espresso and sponged with peekaboo peach. Here are my supplies all laid out First I stamped image no 2 of the stamp set on whisper white in pink pirouette. Remember to use your piercing mat or other foam pad underneath any photopolymer stamp sets so you get a good image. Then I stamped image no 3 of the set with melon mambo. It does take a bit of practice to line the stamps up so practice a few times first on scrap paper. I find it best to make sure the bear's bottom and the gap between arms and body are lined up. Then finally use image no 1 and versamark to stamp

Stampin Up Punch Art cards

PUNCH ART Here are a few of the samples that we will be making on Wednesday at the NSAAA (North Staffordshire Asperger's and Autism Society) craft evening.  I have taken my inspiration from all the wonderful designs on the internet. I really like the background to the angry bird card which is made using a sponge covered in blue ink and a little shimmer paint and sponged around a "cloud" which I have punched from the cupcake builder punch. The picture doesn't do it justice but the sky shimmers beautifully in real life.  Don't forget if any one wants to order Stampin Up products then I am rebating my commission to the NSAAA for any orders received between now and Thursday morning.  Hope you're all enjoying the wonderful weather on this bank holiday. I've already cleaned the car and later we're off out on the tandem for the first ride of the year. I bet at least 3 people will yell out " Oi mate - she's got her feet up at

                                                        MIXED BUNCH MAKE AND TAKES Here are 3 versions of the same design  - I'm getting ready for 2 workshops and an open house so lots of you will be making these over the coming days. This is a great set and it has a matching punch which makes everything so easy. The set itself was a giveaway at the recent regional training I attended - that's one thing with Stampin Up there are lots of different ways to earn/receive free craft goodies. Another of my favourites at the moment is apothecary art and that was another freebie for me as I had achieved my Stampin Start targets within the first 3 months. Ask me for more details if any of you are interested in signing up as a demonstrator. So looking forward to a feast of crafting - and I do hope you all stick things on a little straighter than I have done!
