Ticket to ride

If I could insert a Homer like drooling sound I would do it for this paper kit from Stampin' Up!  It's called ticket & tags and is seriously gorgeous!  Although not obviously festive I think it works so well, this kit will also be fab for masculine cards to.  If I get chance I will photo the kit (minus some pieces used lol!) to show you just how yummy it is.

Anyway I have made a few cards from the kit and I think they will be my special people cards this year :D  I will be happily entering this over at Totally Paper Crafts (layer upon layer).

Material girl

Morning! as promised (even though a little later than planned) some new Stampin' Up! designer fabric which I have actually used! and not just stroked and put back carefully into it's packaging lol!  It's called timeless portrait and it's beautiful.  I made this brooch/clip by ironing some heavyweight interfacing onto the fabric then to cut the flowers I used Stampin' Up!s fun flowers bigz die through my big shot - how easy is that! 

The other great thing is for the centre embellishment I used a designer button with basic rhinestones and pearls placed on top and added crystal effects glue on top and left to dry to make a super blingy centre to top it off.  Together with the top note die to present the whole shebang - I think it all looks pretty snazzy!

Have a great day & see you soon.
