New Gift Pack

As some of you know, I LOVE ladybugs. I just love these new ladybug stamps I bought! I decided (on the advice of my mom) to do a ladybug themed card pack.


























The sentiments are: "Best Wishes", "Sweet Baby", "Celebrate Today", "Feel Better" and "With Thanks".

All paper, ink and ribbon is from Stampin' Up!

The gift pack will be for sale on my website (see link on my blog) for $15.

New Year - New Catalogue!

Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I enjoyed relaxing with my family and we had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. We're slowly getting back into the swing of things and my oldest son starts pre-school tomorrow. Mom is a little anxious!

The 2010 Stampin' Up! Occasions mini catalogue goes live tomorrow and those on my mailing list should be receiving it in the mail shortly if you haven't already received it. If you want to see it tomorrow check out the Stampin' Up website - and I'll post a link on the blog (as soon as it's available)!

I'll attach a few cards I have made with some of the new fabulous stamps. All the recent stamps I've purchased are the rubber stamps that adhere to acrylic blocks. They are fabulous and I truly enjoyed using them.

The new Sweet Pea Designer Series paper is also fantastic. I love all the colours and new designs. I highly recommend this for you card makers out there!

Cards As Promised

So I'll post a few of the cards I've been working on. There are currently almost 75 downstairs waiting to go to their new homes. I think I'm all carded out! I have been taking a break the last few nights and scrapbooking instead.

I did up a gift pack this afternoon of 5 cards - in French for a friend of mine. I wanted something simple that she would enjoy.

These cards have been created using the Medallion stamp set, Voeux Mignons, Upsy Daisy Baroque Motifs and Priceless. All Cardstock and ribbon is from Stampin' Up! as well.

The following cards are "Cases". My creative juices stopped flowing after card #60!

New Store and New Catalogue

Hello!
I apologize greatly for not posting much lately. I've been a busy elf getting card packs ready for Christmas. I don't want to publish pictures since that will let the cat out of the bag and spoil the Christmas surprise for those receiving card packs!

I wanted to let you know about my new store! I have been using "Shophandmade.com" but have switched over to using a new blog to sell my cards. If you click on the "Ladybug Designs" logo to the right of this blog it will take you directly do the new site where you can directly purchase my cards using paypal. The cards are all priced in $CAD.

I will be adding new cards over the next few days as I get some pictures taken of my stock so please be patient as I get this new site up and running.

I also want to let you know that the Stampin' UP! Occassions catalogue will be arriving in mailboxes shortly and will be available online January 4th. It is full of fabulous new products and as you may have heard SU! will be introducing acrylic blocks in this catalogue! I'm pumped.

I will post some cards for you tomorrow!
