feeding the habit!




And then it gets even  more away from my original intention to just dabble and make my own cards... Simon asked if I'd like to sell some of them through his work... no pressure. So I buy some plastic covers, decopatch a little box and get creating. I used up lots of old bits and bobs so some of the cards are a bit samey but I enjoyed doing it. The ultimate test will be if anyone actually wants to buy any! Crossing my fingers as it'll be another way to fund what is fast becoming a more expensive habit than the illegal kind!!
 
I can't figure out how to turn this round but it is made with the incolour range and rich razzleberry. I used  the secret garden stampset with punches to make the 'label' and the hostess gift sentiments. It looks a bit off centre but that is because it's in it's plastic wallet and you can see the envelope behind!

start of something new?


Well here I go - new venture time. I didn't go become a Stampin' Up demonstrator to do classes and workshops but it seems to be starting to happen so I thought I'd go the whole hog and start a small blog too. Not sure how it will all pan out! I have no idea how to run a blog so this will be a total learning curve!

I made these cards by using the penant parade stampset, white embossing powder and the pennant punch. You can just about see some little gems on the white cards at the back. I used dimensionals to get some depth to the cards.

Just playing around really but I was pleased with how they turned out!
