One Card - 3 Challenges.

By
It will come as no surprise to my regular blog readers that I am a Stampin' Up freak. I love stamping and buy loads of stamps, but for me Stampin' Up are the be all and end all of rubber stamps. So it was with great pleasure that I created today's card with three Stampin' Up challenges in mind.
Firstly I will show you my card
I started as always with a white 5" x 5" card base and the layout was taken from the sketch over on Simply Stampin'
The colour scheme was taken from this week's Colour Throwdown
And finally the challenge this time at SUO Challenges is Favourite New Stamp Sets. My newest set is the Growing Green and I love it - definitely a favourite. It looks great with the extra bling don't you think?
The sentiment is from Bird on a Branch and I have used some 3D foam pads for extra dimension.
Thanks for stopping by today - hope to See you again soon - Jacqueline xx.

    I'm a huge Stampin' Up fan too (as you know!) and I love what you do with the stamps - things that I would never have thought of! This is yet another gorgeous card using Growing Green - I don't think you'll ever run out of ideas Jacqueline! Love that fresh colour combination and it's a great layout too. Vx

    I really liked that you let the outline stamps stand on their own without coloring them in. Such elegant layering helps really make them pop without the coloring! Thanks for submitting this for the SUO Challenge!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
