stampin up notelet holder

Good Evening everyone thought I would do another quick post today as it seems to have been a while, but again its not been done today, as I have had a very busy day with 3 nephew and nieces under 6 and an older one of 28 and lots of others, it has been very lively here today(NOISY) it's nice to sit back and just do a bit of blogging.

The notelet holder is easy to make by just scoring a spine in the middle of your card, the papers and stamps are all stampin up and I am in love with this paper it's one of those I don't really want to use!

thanks for dropping by.

love chris xx

This is for all of you that keep looking at my blog and leaving me nice messages. Thankyou love chris xx

I SHOULD USE IT FOR CLEANING !!

YES ITS BLEACHING Good evening . I have just come in from my Wednesday night craft class I thought I would do a quick post so here it is ...

I have used the poppys from Stampin up Bloomin with beauty stamp set on elegant eggplant card stock, and I just love the way it bleaches out, I have tried various card over the years and nothing compares to this for bleaching

it is just so easy to get a good effect, its fun , have a go with bleach ONLY ON A CARD MIND !!!!! We need to save our energy for crafting

YES ITS RED AND GREEN AGAIN!!

Good morning, bit of a dull one this morning and we are supposed to be barbequeing, oh well.
Heres one we did on Friday night for a S U party for a very nice lady called Jeanette,we had a lovely evening, and yes it seemed to be red and green again ,I dont know how it keeps happening!! The background is En Francais background stamp the red is stamped with the paisley background stamp, the stalk is stem sayings, and the flower is done with the 5 petal flower punch, one petal folded on the green and two folded on the red, then stuck together .The circle is wow flowers placed onto punched ovals then of course stitched with the white pen hope you like. love chris xx

NOT SO SCARY!!

Hello everybody. here's one that I have had the elements coloured and cut out for days but just couldn't seem to get round to doing anything with, the papers and card is stampin up as is the punched out ovals and words ,the backgroud behind the scarecrow is a magenta stamp cso 43 which I got from good ole sir stampalot, the rest are a whippersnapper set of stamps which my friend louise kindly stamped one day for me ,Thankyou louise I have enjoyed using them ,the bowl of apples has been glazed with glossy accents, and the straw (which does'nt show up very well on the photo) sticking out of him are some fibres that I won the other night in a craft raffle (thanks Mary)louise had also stamped me some trees out of the same set but it didnt fit anywhere so I cut the leaves off and popped them down the side hope you like love chris xx

More with the s u scallop circle punch

Here's another one using the scallop punch from s u , I have punched it out using shrink plastic and stamped a flower in each one then cut out some stamped leaves they are from a retired stampin up set.
Thanks for dropping by love chris

hi I thought I would show you what I have done with the scallop circle punch

from stampin up, I just love this baby, I have cut down each scallop to form a petal and then folded it in half triple embossed it then added a small circle in the bottom I think it looks quite effective I have also embossed my scallop edge thanks for dropping by love chris xx

for Mel

I have covered this little notebook from paperchase for my friend Mel, she has been helping me when I have got stuck when posting on my blog, always on the end of the phone, each time I get a problem or think there's something else I should have done, so today I had a free morning and here it is, the scarecrow is what crafty lou stamped for me and the other stamps are magnolia. I shrunk the little bird I think its kinda cute.

nice and easy

just a quick one for a stampin up party, not my usual colours but I really like them ,I have cut out the stamped flower image from soft summer and decopauged just the flowers, the little buttons at the top I have punched out on shrink plastic using wow flowers stamp which sound wrong but there is actually a round happy birthday stampin with the set they are really useful so nice and easy.
The colours I have used are not quite navy, gable green ,tempting turquoise, and taken with teal

Decorated box

Had some fun on Thursday at Sir Stampalot covering this little box which I bought from papechase, they do a lovely range of brown paper covered things which a lovely lady called louise put me on to, got lots of other things to cover ,thought this would make a lovely raffle prize if filled with Ribbons, the papers are Daisy Bucket and of course yes its another Sarah Kaye stamp!! I promise it will be something different tomorrow.

using my fabulous" fabulous finds" cartridge

And yes its that Sarah Kaye girl again, I just love her so much, this time I've shrunk her if only it was that easy! I have cut this shaped card out on my cricut using fabulous finds it actually cuts out what you see and is so easy to play with, I have used daisy bucket papers , not had alot of time for blogging lately but hopefully I wont be so busy this next few weeks , thankyou ladies to all of you that are following me and leaving me lovely messages

I LOVE my inchies

Made this card for Sir Stampalot using inkadinkadoo inchies( 98770 flower garden )can't tell you how much I love them, hope to post more inchie cards soon .

and finally

I have finally managed to upload this card, I have used stampin up papers and card the stamp is also su, and i've cut out the flourishes using the cricut with
wild card ,it just gives it that 3D effect. hopefully it wont take so long next time !!

That was difficult!!

Well I wonder if you will be reading this?I have spent the last 2 hours getting back to this place, as I wanted to thank Mel for sorting this out with me this morning. and also thanks girls for checking my blog out, Hopefully there will be a picture tomorrow ,dont hold your breath though!! love chris xx
