Happy Everything To You

These are my cards from my Stamp-a-Stack in February.  My first SAS for 2011.  It was nice to see the girls again after a 2 month break.  As a welcome to 2011 SAS, I gave each lady a stamp set for being such wonderful customers.

For the card below, I used the "On A Pedestal" stamp set.  I have liked this set since the catalogue came out last September.

 

Here is the other card the girls made.  This one is using the "Party Hearty" stamp set.  As you can see, I've used the party hats and just cut off the top to make the banner.  You can also use them as Christmas Trees as I did HERE.

(the inside of the card)

Both of these cards came straight from the Idea Book & Catalogue.  It is such a great source of inspiration.  You don't have to use the current catalogue for inspiration, why not use past catalogues or even past Mini catalogues!

The Autumn/Winter Mini catalogue is now available.  There are some great stamp sets along with lots of accessories.  More Big Shot dies to drool over too!  LOL.

Please contact me to place your order.  The catalogue will run until the 31st July 2011.

Happy Stamping,

Seasons Greetings lalalalala lala la la

Seasons Greetings?  I know, you are thinking 'she's lost the plot!'.  Not quite but I do sometimes wonder!  LOL.  Christmas is only 2 weeks away!  Scary.

Here are my Christmas cards I sent out this year.  They are already postal and the recipients should hopefully have them by now.  I send cards to the United Kingdom, Germany, USA, Canada, New Zealand and of course Australia.  Where do you send cards to?

I sort my cards into countries but after visiting the post office, I only needed to have two piles - one for Australia and the other for the rest of the world!  It costs the same amount to post to New Zealand as it does to post to the United Kingdom!!!  Go figure!

Just a close up of one.  I used the Holiday Treasures DSP along with the Party Hearty stamp set.  I added the Double Stitched Baja Breeze Grosgrain Ribbon as it was looking a bit boring and just needed something else.  LOL

I've been for a long walk tonight to get rid of the baby weight I gained.  I know I am going to feel it tomorrow and be even worse on Sunday but I'm hoping to get back out walking on Sunday so my body will get used to it again.  I had back issues while pregnant so long walks were out of the question and I really miss my exercise (never thought I would say that!!).

Have a great weekend.

Happy Stamping,

Party Hearty

Ok, seeing as I haven't been stamping (only for the workshop I did a few weeks ago and I haven't photographed the card), I will continue with the cards from the INKlings weekend away. 
This design is by Dani Fender.  The Party Hearty stamp set is so versatile.  The party hats can be made to look like trees so you can make Christmas cards!  How cool.  I have been holding off buying this set but I finally gave in and I'm now just waiting for the post man to deliver it!!  LOL

Happy Stamping,
