New Catalogue
Hi Folks,
Beautiful day here in Northern Ireland. Beautiful day all round as look what I got this morning my new Stampin'Up Catalogue, so I spent my morning with a cup of tea browsing through it. Oh My, my bank account will definitely be in the red this month. There are so many things to buy, new stamps, new colour ink pads and cardstock. There are quite a few bargains where you can buy designer paper and matching cardstock, or cardstock and ink pads. I just purchased a new Big Shot Plus so I was looking at the framelits and dies. My demonstrator sent me a lovely bookmark along with it as a thank you gift and I had been telling her that I have broken my finger on my left hand, so my crafting is curtailed a bit as you don't know how much you use your left hand until you can't, so she has sent me a lovely get well card which you can see to the right on the catalogue. Isn't it pretty.
I can't really praise Stampin'Up enough as I have only started to buy their products in the last four or five months. I have to say that their products are first class and their service is so good. The fact that you can stamp and punch at the same time is so good, and their demonstrators are first class. They are so friendly and they teach you so much. I absolutely love them. In the catalogue they also give you pictures of some of the things that they have made themselves with their products to give you an idea of what you can do, so I will be CASing some of them. That's all for the moment, hope you all have a wonderful day. Will have some pictures up soon of cards which I have seen on Pinterest. God Bless. Theo.

Thank You to all the talented Crafters
Hi Folks.
It can be assumed that most of the cards you can see on this blog have been CASED(Copy and Share Everything). I copy a lot. I copy from friends (thank you friends). I copy from things I see on blogs and websites (thank you, talented, creative people!) and I copy from books. I collect ideas from lots of blogs and websites and I am not very good at keeping track of where that idea came from. I sometimes change the layout, colours or stamp, but sometimes the card is copied exactly. Please know that if I have copied (and shared) an idea that was originally yours I do thank you for your original creation and the fact that you shared it on the web. Hopefully you will consider it a compliment and a sincere form of flattery.

Cards CASEd on Pinterest
Hi Folks,
These are some cards that I seen on Pinterest that I liked a lot and so I have made them with the products that I have in my stash. Pinterest is a great place for picking up inspiration and the people who make the cards are brilliant. So these are my cards
Card No 1.
The base is my own cardstock and is 41/4" x 51/2." The labels are punched with Stampin'Up Artisan Label Punch using Cardstock, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, all from Stampin'Up. The image is on Whisper White cardstock and is a stamp from my own collection, as is the sentiment.
Card No. 2.
The base is my own cardstock and is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2". The matt layer is basic black and is 4 x 5 !/4".
The top layer is the same cardstock as the base and is 3 3/4 x 5". I have drawn three lines in pencil and punched the hearts with my Itty Bitty Accents Punch from Stampin'Up in Baked /Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding cardstock. I have used jewel gems from my own stash and the sentiment is also my own.
Card No 3.
The base is my own cardstock and is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2". The matt layer has been embossed with the embossing folder Fancy Fan from Stampin'Up.

Motorbike Racing and crafting
Thursday 14 May 2015.
Hi Folks
This week in Northern Ireland is the week of the North West 200. This is a road race held on the fastest road circuit in the world. The bikes go round the course at an amazing speed of 200 mph even in the rain. Our riders are the best in the world for wet road racing as most of the time here in Northern Ireland they are racing in wet conditions. My family are all into motor bike racing and for most of my husband's adult life he has worked at the races as a Road Marshall and my girls have been brought up with bike racing. My eldest daughter has her own road bike, and my youngest is a photographer and takes the photos at all the races along with her dad, and now my granddaughter has been roped into it as well. So this week I am on my own with my grandson who isn't into racing (yet). We are having a nice few days doing our own thing. I am crafting and he is watching his transformer movies and playing with his transformers.
So this morning I made a little box, the tutorial for which you can find on Pootles.co.uk
The dimensions when finished - 4 x 21/2 x 2" ( 10x 6.5 x 5cm)
Cardstock for box - 8" x 11" (20 x 28cm)
Score on the LONG side @ 2," 41/2," 61/2," 9" (5, 11.5, 16.5, 23cm)
Score on SHORT side @ 2," 6" ( 5, 15cm)
Coloured Panels
1 of 3 3/4" x 2 1/4" (9.5 x 6cm)
2 of 3 3/4" x 1 3/4" ( 9.5 x 4.5cm)
2 of 1 3/4" x 2 1/4" ( 4.5 x 6cm)
White Panels
1 of 3 1/2" x 2" (9 x 5.5cm)
2 of 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" (9 x 4cm)
2 of 1 1/2" x 2" (4 x 5.5cm)
Products used
