Stampin' n Slimmin'

Beautiful Peacock! I love this free stampset from Stampin' Up!s Sale-a-bration.  I finally managed to have a play this weekend.   For every £45 spend in either the Annual catalogue or Spring/Summer catalogue or both you can choose a free item.  Contact me for any catalogues or information.  Or, visit my Stampin' Up! online shop:  http://lynnsmith@stampinup.net I decided to use the set to make my mother-in-law's birthday card.  I'd seen lots of lovely designs on pinterest and was eager to have a play.  I love how it turned out!  What do you think?   Ingredients Inkpads:   Tranquil Tide Melon Mambo Berry Burst Lemon and Lime Twist Powder Pink Cardstock : Berry Burst Lemon Lime Twist Whisper White Stampsets :  Beautiful Peacock (SAB 2018) Thoughtful Banners Happy Birthday Gorgeous Thinlits:   Stitched Shapes Others :  Brights Sequins Assortment (retired) Nuvo glitter marker (non SU!)

February - Love! This month's blog hop has to be Love!  I've not been too good this month and have hardly done any crafting.  I almost pulled out of this hop, but then thought it will force me to craft, which may bring back my enthusiasm.  I need to make a card for my amazing hubby anyway, so at least it gets that done nice and early. I think I'm the first in the hop this month, so no previous hopper to link in.  But, in case you're hopping backward, here's the link for Julie:   https://createhandmadehappiness.blogspot.co.uk/... This year I decided to go for a simple card for Valentine's Day, with white on white.  I think it looks classy. I used Falling Petals embossing folder on Whisper White cardstock, mounted onto a Whisper White card base.  I then used the sentiment - 'You're My Valentine Every Single Day' from the Sure Do Love You stampset, finishing with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  Simple and elegant!
