Thanks Miss Di (Snippets Playground)

This is a very special post for a very special person.

Di has been running the Snippets Challenge blog for SEVEN years now.

She works so hard keeping us all in order, battling with technology, replying to every comment

and supplying VERY generous prizes.

She is such fun, telling us about her garden hedgehogs, new dog Dudley,

hubby Len, and her cuddly bear Parsnip.

It is a lovely friendly blog, and another lovely lady Darnell 

decided to run this special tribute of thanks.

So, do hop over to see both the

Snippets Playground

and

Darnell's blog

Here's my cards....made from two of the prizes kindly sent by Di,

the Winter Owl, and a Sentiment set.....

The snippets used are Stampin Up! papers, with snippets of card for the Owl, sentiment and branch.

The punches are from SU and the branch is from SU Seasonal Layers Dies.

I fussy cut his scarf.......I do love paper piecing!

I managed to make 4, but it was more time consuming than I anticipated

sticking all those Tailored Tag shapes in place neatly,

then trimming off the excess paper..........hindsight I should have covered a large piece of card,

then cut the card to size, instead of the other way round doh!!!!

It's great for using those small snippets of too-good-to-throw-away-paper :)

Thanks Di

lots of love

Bags of fun

Hi there

I want to share some pics of the gorgeous new bags from Stampin' Up!

There's the new Tote Bag and the Stamparatus Bag

Lots of pockets in both....

lots of room for the trimmer, stamps, punches and all your tools

and much more besides....

it even fits our 12 x 12 score board....

it's not tall,but plenty wide and deep enough for everything..

and don't miss the stitched rectangle framelits.....

they give that lovely detail on both the cut -out and the piece left behind

here's a favourite card using Butterfly Gala.....

this has been so popular they are running out of stock fast,

so if you don't treat yourself soon, you may have to wait a long time!

I hope you'e had a fab weekend

and I'll be back soon

All My Love

Hello there

My cousin has a special wedding anniversary

so I made them this card using paper from All My Love

and the Dies from Forever Lovely

So many dies, so many details, like the corners, edge details,

and the stamp set is fab too!

I backed the topper with some new foil to give some extra sheen.

I have been very naughty and copied a friends entry into some challenges that seemed very fitting

Butterfly Gala Project by Stampin' Up!

Hi there

I'm back with some pics of new products from the Spring Catalogue

Above is one of the new Designer Series Papers.

I love how Stampin' Up! now list the coordinating colours on the label.

It makes it so much quicker to find card and inks and embellishments that go with it.

I can't wait to show you projects made with these.

Some I'm doing for class, so don't want to spoil their surprise .

I placed a coin so you can see how tiny the buttons are, and I love the faux wax seals!

Above left some new Itty Bitty Punches. right is Old Olive twine,

a closer look at the was seals, all placed upon the Foil card you can get as a FREE GIFT!

The Itty punches punch flowers from the first DSP.

I love how SU are matching punches and dies to the papers!

Here's one of the lovely pics from SU using Forever Lovely

And lastly, a great project to share by Stampin' Up!

Enjoy!

Lesley
