LOTV Glamorous Gardening Happy Birthday Card

Welcome back to me.  I haven't posted recently as spent a lot of time playing with my Stampin Up products, which are on a separate blog.

Anyway here goes......

This is a LOTV stamp, Glamorous Gardening, which is coloured in with Promarkers.  The papers used are from My Minds Eye, sorry don't know the name of them.  This was all layered up and an old sentiment stamp used with a double flower punched out of the same paper (Martha Stewart punch).

Stampin Up Demonstrator

I decided to take the plunge and signed up to be an Independent Demonstrator for Stampin Up so will no longer be posting much, if anything on this blog for a while.  Apparently I can't do both!!  I have therefore set up a new blog Bakewell Stampin Up Devotee where you will be able to buy things from me and also look at some samples of cards I have made using their products.

Wish me well.

Baby Girl Card - Little Grey Bunny

This card was one of a large order I made.  

The only problem is I have no idea where the papers are from or the stamp.  The sentiment, however is a LOTV one, which is so usefully for baby cards and I use it on probably every other baby card I make.

Rocking Horse Baby Card - Boy

Today's card is done with my lovely Rocking Horse digi from Beccys Place and coloured with Promarkers.

This is then layered up on DCWV papers, pearl accents and a LOTV New Baby Boy sentiment.

Thinking of Doing Stampin Up Demonstrator - Any advice??

I went to a really good card making class yesterday for Stampin Up and thinking of buying the demonstrator kit for £120.  Don't really want to do any demonstrating or selling at parties but wonder if anyone has any advice on whether the kit is good, worth the price, etc.  Also does anyone just do direct selling with people contacting you locally to buy products from the catalogues?

Any help or advice on this would be brilliant.

I will upload some photos of the cards I made at the event later today.

Mo Manning - Its a Boy Card

Here is a card that I have made for my friend who is having a little baby boy in a couple of weeks.

The picture is from Mo Mannning and is called Spit Happens.    It is coloured in with Promarkers and then layered up using a fairly new pad I have from Bo Bunny called something like Home.  I covered up the words on the paper with the picture.  I then die cut some flowers from the same papers and also stamped and layered up some words.

LOTV Positively Pampered Birthday Card

Today's card (and entry into the new LOTV Challenge) is the Positively Pampered stamp from LOTV.

I stamped this image onto one of the Kanban stackers in a round style and then coloured in with Promarkers.  The background circle was stamped with a very old stamp (sorry I don't know whose it is) and then the front was distressed using black soot inkpad.

This was all layered up onto a Craftwork Cards easel card blank and then Magnolia red Christmas paper used as a background, layered on jet black card.

The LOTV sentiment placed on a layer of black and red ribbon finishes the card.

I absolutely loved this card and gave it to one of my crafting pals, as I knew she would appreciate the work that went into it.
