It's my birthday today and I am really exited to be taking part in the fabulous Pinkies Blog Hop.
Have you seen the new 2015-17 In Colours yet? One of my favourite colours is Tip Top Taupe so I decided to use this new In Colour for today's card.
I used Tip Top Taupe Cardstock and the coordinating striped paper from the new Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack. This stack contains 45 double-sided sheets - 4 sheets of all 12 designs in 15.2 cm x 15.2 cm size paper. The patterns vary and feature the colours Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, Hello Honey, Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder and Whisper White.
I stamped the sentiment You're Fabulous using the new Hostess Stamp Set A Whole Lot of Lovely and punched it out using the Note Tag Punch.
To complete the design, I wrapped some linen thread around the top of the card and added my sentiment to it and secured it in place using Stampin' Dimensionals.
I would love to know what you think of this card and as its my birthday, it would make my day if you could leave a comment.
Its only a few days now until the new catalogue is released. Click here to subscribe to my blog so you can be one of the first to download a free copy of the catalogue on Tuesday 2nd June.
The next blog is Lisa's and she has created an amazing project for you.
Happy blog hopping and I hope to see you next time!

These lovely little jars are from Tinware Direct and I just had to decorate them.
I find that when you go on holiday you don't really want to take full size tubs of creams, so I took some of my favourite Lush products - Ultrabland cleanser, British Nanny moisturiser and Celestial moisturiser and some standard hand cream and foot cream and decanted them into these jars.
I used designer series paper scraps I had from the retiring All Abloom Stack and I punched out the circles for the lid with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch and then cut a 2cm strip to wrap around the jar.
I used Sahara Sand ink to sponge all of the edges to give it a vintage feel.
For the labels I used a font called 1942 Report that I also used for my previous project and I punched out the labels with the Word Window Punch.
This coming Saturday is not only my birthday but I am also taking part in the fabulous Pinkies Blog Hop. Make sure you come back to see the card I have made using new products from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. You will also get to see lots of other projects from my fabulous Pinkie crafty sisters.
You could say I am a little obsessed with tins at the moment. My upline Michelle Last created an amazing project for us at the craft weekend I attended in Birmingham recently. So naturally I had to ask where she got the tins from.
The company is called Tinware Direct and you can buy tins in bulk or as samples - 10 samples for £10 or 20 samples for £20. I bought a wide variety of samples and when I looked at the tins I have used in this project I immediately thought cotton bud container.... Don't ask me why!
With a lot of my favourite DSP retiring I thought it would be a perfect project to use up some of my scraps.
I have kept the design simple and consistent. I also didn't want a lot of embellishments or details as you need to be able to handle these containers everyday and possibly pack them in your cases for holidays.
This project was really quick. I cut some scraps of my Subtles Designer Series Paper to fit the lid, rounded the corners and sponged the edges with Sahara Sand Ink.
I then wrapped burlap ribbon around the tin and added a 2cm strip of DSP. I wish I had sponged the edges on these pieces but I forgot!!
I then found a quirky font called 1942 Report and printed labels which I punched out using the Word Window Punch.
I hope you have enjoyed my project today. I love how being creative with paper crafts is not limited to cards and gift boxes. Come back and see my next project using DSP scraps and Tinware products on Wednesday!
I am really pleased that the Sheltering Tree stamp set has carried over to the new catalogue. I hadn't had a chance to use it yet and with a few family birthdays approaching I thought now would be the perfect opportunity. Its lovely to stamp with and I can't wait to use it again.
With winter long behind us now and summer on its way, I found it fitting to give these cards a spring
like feel.... This is what I love about this set, just a change of colours and your projects can look like any of the four seasons.

The additional stamps included are so cute. The broom, the swing and the bicycle are all fabulous and with the stamps being photopolymer you can easily see where to line up your stamp where you want them to be.
I ùsed my Scoring Stylus tool and Simply Scored scoring board to make a raised border. I also used various punches and layers to give the sentiments some dimension.
I hope you have enjoyed my card project today. Come back on Saturday for my next project using those scraps of DSP that you can't bear to throw away.
Just a quick post from me today. I wanted to show you the name badge I made for the Stampin' Up! Regional Training event I attended on Saturday. I hope you like it!
Today I am attending the Stampin' Up! Regional Training in Telford along with 300 - 400 other Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.
I am really looking forward to it having attended last year and I can't wait to meet up with my fellow crafty friends and also get to play with some of the new products that will be in the new Annual Catalogue.
At events like this we are asked to make swaps. Its not compulsory but its nice to chat with other demos and see what they've made with the Stampin' Up products. You come back with loads of projects which inspire you and can help you to think of alternative ways to use the products outside of your comfort zone.
This year I decided to make little boxes containing tea lights. I have made 65 in total!
I should come home with 65 individual swaps so I really can't wait to see what other demos have made!
I met Sam Hammond Donald aka Pootles a month ago at a crafty weekend in Birmingham and she kindly gave me her amazing tea light box after I said that I was hoping to make a single tea light box for my swap. Please visit Sam's blog and watch her video on how to make the tealight box using the Envelope Punch Board by clicking here - Thanks Sam!!
To make the design for my box I cut the Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper into 3.4cm by 3.4cm squares. Next I stamped the sentiment Thank You in Versamark ink and used Black Embossing Powder and my heat tool to emboss it. I used my trusty Paper Piercing Tool to hold the paper to my desk when applying the hot air to stop it blowing away!
I then cut Kraft Cardstock into 3.8cm by 3.8cm squares and adhered the Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper to it using Snail Adhesive.
Can you believe I only needed 1 sheet of Kraft Cardstock and Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper for all 65 boxes!
I wrapped some linen thread around the tea light box before applying the sentiment to the top using Stampin' Dimensionals to lift it up slightly. I finished it off by tying a bow...although some look better than others as I'm not the greatest at tying bows.
I hope you have enjoyed my project today. I think these would make perfect wedding favours or little thank you gifts. I would love to see what designs you have come up with!
If you are interested in becoming an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator so you can attend next year's event, please let me know!
These cute cards are perfect to use either for a children's birthday party invitation.... or with a change of sentiment, they would make a lovely birthday card.
I love the vibrant colours in the Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper so I matched my cardstock and ink to the paper using Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay as the main colours.
I used the fab Zoo Babies stamp set for the image on the front and images inside the card. These animal stamps are so cute and I can't wait to use this set for another project.
The great news is that the Zoo Babies set is carrying over to the next catalogue but unfortunately the Sweet Taffy Designer Series paper is retiring and is sold out already.
You can place an order for anything that you need to stock up on before it sells out by clicking here or by visiting my online shop.
