Vintage Vogue

I have been having a play with some stamps from the Mini Catalogue.  The stamps are from the Vintage Vogue set ( 117690)

I thouroughly enjoyed using these stamps and would like to show you that you don't need lots of embellishments, papers and colours to make a card. On each card I only used 1 coloured and 1 white cardstock, stamps and 2 inks (although you could use just the one ink) Lavendar Lace and Almost Amethyst.

I got over excited and forgot to put the gems in the middle of the flowers on the last 2 cards before I photographed them! Must apologise for the photos I could not get the right lighting, left it too late in the day:(
Will leave you on a positive note though, I love the bluebells in my garden and they are finally appearing-hurrah.  So.... I had a go at a bit of artisticness and popped some in the photos:)

Ribbon swap anyone?

Thank you everyone that came to my first party, I did enjoy it, dispite my nerves LOL. I hope you all enjoyed it too:)
Soooo now that you have all tasted the delights of Stampin' Up, here is an opportunity for you to have a selection of differant coloured ribbons for the price of one! 

I will order a selection of 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbons in a variety of colours (see page 85 of main catalogue).  On receiving them I will divide all the ribbons between the amount of people and share them out. Each reel is approx 13.7 m in length, so you will have plenty of ribbon in lots of colours(dependent on how many swap) without the expense! All you need to pay is £3.95 + p&p

Please let me know by the 24th April, afterwhich I will place the order.

 I hope that all makes sense,  I am rather tired so if you have any queries please don't hesitate to contact me:)

Happy Stampin'
