Hi there Creators, Well just recently there was a Stampin' Up! sale and this stamp set Inspiring Iris was on the list, I've admired it for a long time, so I finally bit the bullet and bought it! Oh my goodness it's gorgeous!! I thought it was perfect for #simplestampin' because all you need is paper and ink and you have really pretty simple cards, so here goes..... here's the stamp set itself I teamed it up with the Very Vanilla Notecards and envelopes (nice and easy!) And this is how the cards came out... the bottom one is probably my favorite, followed by the carnation, and in fact out of all the stamps there's only 2 stamps I didn't use on the front of the cards!  not bad going eh? so I used the long pattern on the back of the cards and the only one that didn't get used is the tiny 5 dot flower one (yea go me!  lol) So let me know what you think, which card is your favorite out of these? and what would you do differently? Happy Cr...

Hi Creators, No it's not Monty Python lol, but I thought I'd show you something that I'd been planning to create for a while, then necessity got the best of me! So my family seem to get through quite a few soft drink cans, and it's always seemed a bit of a waste for them all go to off to the recycling bin, and whilst I was trolling through Pinterest I discovered a few things that you can do with them, hence we started washing and saving them up. So how do you take this: and turn it into this? What happened was that one of my husbands friends came over for the weekend and all of a sudden my recliner chair was commandeered lol (which I didn't begrudge) however I do like to put my feet up, so having been saving up the cans I figured I might have enough to have a go at the footstool. Out with the hot glue gun, I'm sorry I don't have any photos of the in between stages, however this is how it goes.... Collect enough cans hot glue them together ...
