Creative Elements from Stampin' Up!



Stampin' Up! Everyday Enchantment Papers make great patchwork

 Hi all this is just a quick post to show you a great way to use up scraps of papers, but make a really lovely card.  Just punch out squares with 13/8" punch and stick them onto a piece of card like a patchwork quilt.  Then run your card through the big shot with Stampin' Up! top note die, add a few faux stitches with a marvellous marker and you're away with a lovely starting point for a card. 
I'm really loving Stampin Up Creative Elements stamp set too at the minute and have used one of the stamps from it to make a tone on tone background on my base card and also my decorative label punch sentiment. 
If you'd like to learn how you can take this technique even further consider joining my next technique club starting in September.
All you need to do is spend a minimum of £25 or £15 a month for 6 or 10 months and you receive free annual catalogues and seasonal catalogues, a minimum £25 free hostess spend and a class on a different technique every month.  If you'd like to know more about it then please do contact me on zoetant@live.co.uk

Now off to chill for 10minutes before Charlie's friends arrive for a day of boy mayhem. Olivia is already hiding in her room!!!

Enjoy the opening of our Olympics tonight!

Almost Chocolate Heaven

 Oh wow when you buy these papers, like me, you'll discover it was one of the best decisions you ever made.  In the catalogue I knew they looked kinda luxurious, but IRL  ie IN REAL LIFE they are to die for.....  So rich, elegant and sophisticated.  I know wasted on me!

You don't need a particularly fancy project just something simple as these designer series papers have the luxury of expensive chocolates and the finess of top quality diamonds.  You will definitely need to buy two packs; one to use and one to stroke!!!!!

They go amazingly well with the soft suede and basic black and linked with the new candy wrapper die and lace ribbon  border punch you'll find yourself in DSP Heaven.  Additional trinkets like the designer label punch, pearls and black satin ribbon just finish off your project.  In fact I love Mocha Morning Specialty DSP so much that I really shouldn't tell you about it or it might all go and there'd be none left for me.  Ok I'll make a deal with you.  Tell no one how gorgeous it is and we can share the secret. 

Off to stroke my spare pack.
