Congrats and thank yous

Today I'd like to officially welcome my new downline Rosy to Stampin Up - Rosy runs a fabulous monthly craft group in Bridgwater and I know will make a fabulous demonstrator. Welcome Rosy - I hope you have lots of fun!

Here's a card I made for Rosy to congratulate her, I wanted to keep things simple for a change!


Recipe:
Stamps - Forest Friends

Ink - Old Olive/Chocolate Chip markers

Card/Paper - Very Vanilla/Kraft/Old Olive DSP
Other - Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon/Linen Thread/brown button


And here's a bunch of quick thank yous for some ladies who recently placed orders with me - I love making single layer notecards with stamps, feeds my love of stationery :)


Recipe:
(All Stampin Up)
Stamps - Wonderful Words/Close as a Memory

Ink - Handsome Hunter and Ruby Red markers
Card - Very Vanilla/Handsome Hunter


And finally... here's my entry for the current Stamp With Us recipe challenge which is to use 2 x patterned paper, 4 x brads and 1 x ribbon:


I used an old Mojo Monday sketch that I've been meaning to try out. The base of the cupcake is paper pieced with the same Junior Varsity paper.

Recipe:
(All Stampin Up unless stated)
Stamps - Crazy for Cupcakes/Circle of Friendship

Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black

Card/Paper - Rose Red/Whisper White/So Saffron/Junior Varsity papers
Other - So Saffron brads/Very Vanilla grosgrain/Copic markers/scallop , 1 1/4 inch and 1 3/8 in circle punches


Thanks for visiting - I'll be back later with some blog candy!!

Kate,
Congrats on your new downline! I thought about doing Stampin' Up a few years ago but I am not organized for it. Sometimes, I am bummed when I think about it.

Any hoo, your cards are great! Even when you do simple it looks lovely.
