Cupcake Coffee Morning for Alzheimer's Society

So, for anybody in the Penybont, Mid Wales area

 on Friday the 21st June 2019,

we're holding a Cupcake Day Coffee Morning 

10am - 12 noon 

at Penybont Community Centre

 to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society

A cake like this will be our guess the weight cake and we'd love to see you on Friday for Cupcakes and refreshments!

For anyone who can't make the date, but would like to donate, please use this link for my just giving page

Huge thanks to EVERYONE who has donated so far, and all that will help us to raise funds on the day. I'll be back to card making after the cupcakes ;-)

Simple and super quick!

The fourth card from the Paper Pumpkin box of goodies is a celebration of the gorgeous prints and simple yet elegant embellishments.

The really fabulous thing about this kit is that the card and envelope quality are a great starting point, with the added ease of designs that you can follow, or with my fabulous inability to follow instructions, designs that you can adapt ;-)

Keep on Crafting, GenGen xxxx

Paper Pumpkin

So my third card from the magic little Paper Pumpkin box is really nearly as instructed ;-)

I have to admit though, the stamp set will be used long after the sensational supplies are used up! The type font is clear and crisp, and the images are so versatile. The already cut vellum feather is fabulously quick and easy, but the stamp set has a feather image too :-)

Time to play with Everything is Rosy!

As always, even though the Everything is Rosy Product Medley was available for a short time, this last couple of weeks was the first time I had to sit down and familiarise myself with it!

Stamp set: Piece of Cake

Ink: Night of Navy

Card stock: DSP, Greeting plate and Rose Foil from Product Medley

Accessories: Everything is Rosy Dies and ribbon

Keep on crafting, even if you're late ;-)

Hugs in an envelope

So this is my second attempt at following instructions from the Hugs from Shelli Paper Pumpkin Kit! A little more accurate to the given design this time ;-)

 The co-ordinating envelopes are stunning and the speed at which you can create a hand made card seriously fits in with my available time at present. The only difficulty for me, is I struggle to follow instructions - hee hee hee!

Keep on crafting, even if time is short ;-)

Hugs from Shelli - at least my version!

The fabulous Hugs from Shelli - Paper Pumpkin Kit is a fabulous treat, supplying all the goodies you need for 4 different card designs, or at least that's the plan ;-) I am obviously completely unable to follow instructions as this is my first card out of the box!

Stamp Set: Well Said

Ink: Early Espresso

Card stock: Early Espresso

Accessories: Well Written Dies

Obviously the fantastic card, envelope, ribbon, greeting plate and flower come with the kit! 

At some point I'll follow the instructions, honest :-)

Keep on crafting, GenGen xxxx

Running fashionably late?

As always, my intention to publish a blog detailing retiring stamp sets is running a little late! Also, there are SO many exciting new releases, that I'm seriously distracted!

Stamp Set: Half Full

Card stock: Crumb cake, Basic Black, Very Vanilla

Ink: Garden Green, Crumb cake, Whisper White and coloured pencils

Accessories: Label punch, Linen ribbon

I really enjoyed the shadow effect of the Birthday greeting.

Keep on crafting, GenGen xxxx
