Hello and welcome. It's time to share a new Just Add Ink challenge project. This week we need to add large letters or numbers. Who doesn't love a large sentiment. I couldn't resist using my favourite Sending dies again. They're just such a lovely font and of course their size always makes a great focal point. I teamed them with the gorgeous Ginkgo Branch dies and one of the embossing folders in the new Basics 3d 3-pack. Here's how it turned out. This was one of those cards that started off with one idea and turned into another. I'd spotted a fun springboard fold card by Susan Campfield that I wanted to try. I started by converting Susan's US sizing to suit my A4 cardstock, but in the end decided not to add the clever springy bits, just the card shape. It's such a fun idea though that I'll definitely try making another springy version. Thanks so much, Susan for the great idea. This also turned out to be a fond farewell to the beautiful Mint Macaron, which is one of the colours leaving our collection this month. It's one I'm quite sad to lose as it's a really lovely shade. Have you loved it too? Of course it would look lovely in so many other colours too. Back to those gorgeous Ginkgo Leaves dies though - which are also not carrying over. See my note further below. I cut the large shape for the front, and decided to leave the cut-out pieces in place - lots of mini dimensionals holding the pieces in! The Sending word dies (letter and outline) were a perfect pairing with the delicate ginkgo. Inside I stamped a sentiment from Pansy Patch (it works really well with the swirly 'sending') cut it out with a pierced square from the Stylish Shapes dies and added some more gingham paper behind it. Another little ginkgo die cut continues the theme inside. This is how the card looks flat-ish. How lovely is the cross-hatching texture of the embossing folder too? And this is how it looks from the top. The Ginkgo Branch stamp set and dies are NOT carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue but the good news is that both the dies and stamp set are 60% off now (dies were, $63, now $25.20, and the stamps were $41, now 16.40).They're only available until 2 May, unless they sell out first. You'll find them both in my online store here. Don't order the bundle option as the discount is not on there somehow! Here's what they both look like. Beautiful huh and so useful for so many cards? So that's my 'large letter' card. I hope you found something you liked and want to try. Head to the Just Add Ink challenge blog to see all our challenge projects. You're sure to find ideas you'll love. Take a look at the full card supply list here in my Stampin' Up! store. Note that once retiring items are unavailable to order they'll disappear from the list.

The Leader's Swappers are back at it! The amazing Carol Norquist organized this swap with the Stampin' UP! Leader's group (Independent Demonstrators for Stampin' UP! who have reached leadership status due to sales and their teams). The theme for these cards was for it to include new products from the Annual Stampin' UP! Catalog. We had done a swap before with preorder products but now that that whole catalog is available, we were suppose to focus on those items! Below each card you will see the name of the stamper and the name and link to the stamp set they used to create it! Here is the card I made for the swap! I used the Reached For The Stars stamp set.

I got this idea from Tina Dyck and cased it. Her talent can be found here: TINA DYCK I had been wanting to stamp with this hostess set and this is one of the cards that I saw using the flower from the set. I love the punch of colors to the simple clean card. In order to get the shadow boxes of color, I used scraps of cardstock, torn and tape together shown below. Then I used a sponge to color in the squares. So Saffron, Rich Razzleberry and Certainly Celery in order top to bottom. I used the scraps to also cover the card while I sprayed some black ink for flecks. The flower was stamped in Basic Black. Here is another very simple card using the same technique. Marika Lemay is from Canada and she does amazing work! Check out her website here: MARIKA LEMAY You can translate to English at the top of the blog because she writes in French. Have a magical day!

Just a fun way to say hello this Valentine's Day! When I was young our telephone was similar to this one - big, clunky and black. It sat on a lace doily on its own little table. Those were the days when we read Dick Tracy every Sunday in the comic section of the newspaper. He kept in touch with the other "good guys" by talking into his wristwatch......and we laughed at such craziness.....little did we know...... I definitely drew inspiration from our living room from so long ago....the clunky phone, stenciled hearts like patterned wallpaper, a touch of lace and a retro look designer paper. It's my turn to host at Freshly Made Sketches this week. The sketch is wide open - use whatever works for you in the oval area! Hope you join us - especially because it is cold this week in the Northeast so I'd love to sip some tea and visit your galleries!

Wow, it seems like I can not get enough of the Circle Thinlit Die. Ever since I made Cookie Monster I have had these two in my head. This is just the most fun Thinlit. We have had very cold weather here lately and I have been inside for the past what seems like three weeks. So Stampin Up has kept me from going insaine. I know that most of you are like not again with the Cicle Thinlit, but I held off as long as I could. I just love finding ways to make what we have to work with into something that someone would really enjoy. I think that any young child would love to receive either one of these cards. I truly hope that you like the cards and as always. Leave a comment.

Just in case you hadn't heard, Stampin' Up's Sale-a-bration promotion is on at the moment and if you'd like to set up your own Stampin' Up business it really is the best time to join as you'll get so much more in your starter kit. It's a great time to go shopping too as you can get all sorts of fabulous goodies for free! I'm enjoying road-testing the free stamp sets at the moment and Madison Avenue is my current obsession. I've made some note cards for today using the set - come and have a look: Don't you just love these pretty stylised flowers?! The Itty Bitty punch pack is the natural partner of this set and I used the four-petalled flower punch to create centres for them. Markers always make your stamps more versatile - I've coloured just one pair of leaves on the leaf image and used my stamp-a-majig to position them on my card front. The same marker was used to add detail to the leaves and to mark in a stem. I used the whole leaf image for the plant in this card and stamped a different flower image from the set on top. I love the simplicity of this design! This line of four flower shapes looks great stamped in rows. I've coloured the insides of the shapes with markers and stamped the decorative centres on top. You can do so much with this wonderful set and I'm only just getting started! Here's what you'll need to make this card Stamps: Madison Avenue (free with Sale-a-bration), various sentiments Ink: Garden Green, Tangerine Tango, Summer Starfruit Card stock: Very Vanilla, scrap of Garden Green Other: Itty Bitty punch pack, Basic Rhinestones, stamp-a-majig I'd be delighted to order any of these items for you and have them delivered straight to your address in the UK.

The sun shone for us and we had a lovely time exploring the city and visiting the museums. On the way back I broke into a song which has always amused me: "Keep your mind on your drivin', keep your hands on the wheel and keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead. We're havin' fun sittin' in the back seat kissin' and a huggin' with Fred!" My daughter laughed and told me that when she was small I used to sing only the first part of that song and she always thought it was an informative piece about driving! It looks as if we've swapped the snow for wind and rain so it's waterproofs at the ready for the week ahead! See you tomorrow,
