These are one of the lovely new items in the Summer Mini, I just had to have a play with them today, I thought I’d try making a flower and using the Sweet Treat Cup as the centre.  I think it became a pretty groovy looking shaker card.  I added glitter to the cup to give it some sparkle.

The colours I used were Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Chip, 3 of my favourite colours and if you scroll back over my posts you’ll find I’ve used those a lot, but they’re so pretty!  I hope you like it. 

From now until the 28th Febuary.  Stampin’ Up! are donating $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set sold to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund.  The Red Cross are already well established in Haiti and this money will go to greatly aid them in the continuing support of the Haitian people when they need it the most.

I wish to not make any money on these sales as well so will be waiving my 20% income on all of these sets for the time of the promotion. Which makes the stamp set $34.36.  Please help support the Red Cross today.

Yes that’s right I’m going to give away some blog candy!  I made these lovely cards today and just feel the need to share.  All you have to do to win is leave a comment here or on my duplicate facebook post and you can win a set of these lovely cards with envelopes.  What I really want to know is how many people still read my blog lol….. ;-D

You also get to choose your colour family, you’ll win 1 card in the colour of each colour family you choose.  That’s 12 cards.  (2 cards of each colour if you choose the In Colours)  what a fantastic little set  :-)  This is open to everyone, demo and non demo alike.  Heck, I’ll even post overseas lol.

Gosh, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted and for that I deeply apologise.  I started a new job just before Christmas and I’m still trying to find time to do everything.  And boy have I missed stamping!  I’ve come to realise that it’s not just a “job” for me, but an escape.  Listening to some music on the iPod and stamping is a nice destress after a day at work and the kids have gone to bed.

This is the first card I’ve made since before Christmas, you’ll have to forgive me I think I’m a bit rusty lol.  But this is some of the lovely new stuff in the Summer Mini.  The Sherbet Buttons are so pretty, and the stamp set is For Everything, I think it’s quite funky and one of the first ones that caught my eye.

Don’t forget if you want a copy of the Summer Mini please send me an email and I’ll pop one in the post for you, free of charge
