A parcel from Beate….!!!!
Hi again,
A couple of weeks ago I received a beautiful parcel in the post from my dear friend and super talented Beate Johns! it was a little thank you gift for doing the Video tutorial from Splitcoast stampers (you can access it on my toolbar to the right). It was really so thoughtful of her to send it! Whilst I was so super excited to get the stamp set, I was sooooo excited to get a Beate stamped original card with it too!
Here is a little look-see…..
Isn’t that card just adorable! I love it. And well how exciting to get that stamp set too, which isn’t in our Stampin’Up catalog. It is called Branch out, and I look forward to having lots of fun with it.
I have made one card, which I intend to send to Beate herself. I have done this big satin bow on there, because if you have a look at Beate’s creations lately they all seem to be sporting these gorgeous big bows…LOL! So I hope she will like it!
Here I have used Riding hood red , Confetti white, Chocolate chip, and Bordering blue cardstock. The DSP is from My mind’s eye. The greeting stamp is from the Occasional greetings from Stampin’Up which I have mounted onto the large oval punch, and the Curly label punch. I have used Chocolate satin ribbon (retired SU) and the antique brass brads for embellishment.
Thanks again to Beate for my delightful card, and stamp set! You are such a gem!
I agree - a Beate Original is quite the treasure to find in your mailbox! You lucky stamper, you!
You’ve outdone yourself on this card, btw. It is gorgeous!!! Love, love the beautiful ribbon bow. SU! is coming up with a brand new assortment of satin ribbons in the Spring mini and you’re making me really look forward to getting some for myself.
Beate is going to love your card!
Have a nice day!
