In love with Easy Events

Every now and again you discover a stamp set that is so versatile that it seems to be permanently out on your desk. Well today I'm using a set like that for my Three Minute Thursday card! Easy Events is one of Stampin' Up's most popular sets - probably because you get so much for your money. But hang on - here's how to get even more for your money: You get 8 fabulous wood mounted images with sentiments for £29.95 and, if you add the heart punch I've used today for £15.50, it comes to £45.45 - which means you're eligible to choose a free Sale-a-bration item! How much of a bargain is that?!

If you prefer clear mount you get even more! Why not add some beautiful Pool Party card stock to your order?  Easy Events clear mount + heart punch + A4 card stock = £45.70 - bingo! you get a free set with that! Click here to see all the exclusive Sale-a-bration goodies and bag yourself a bargain!

And when you've done that (!) come and have a look at today's fast card:

It's a valentine - although it would be equally at home as a wedding or anniversary card. I love this cute bird image with the little heart and it fits perfectly in the large heart punch. When I planned this card, I didn't allow time for a mat but when I put the card together I really wanted another touch of red to link with the heart and sentiment. It's still a very quick card though!

Here's a close up of the heart. I punched a post it note with the heart punch to make a mask and sponged inside it with Pool Party ink. Keeping the mask in place, I stamped the bird image in Basic Grey and coloured it in using markers for the leaves and heart and a blender pen and Pool Party ink for the birds. Easy Events has lots of sentiments that would work with this image like 'sending you love' and 'wedding wishes' but I chose to go for this little sentiment from Tiny Tags.

Supplies needed for this card:

Stamps: Easy Events, Tiny Tags

Ink: Pool Party, Basic Grey, Real Red plus Real Red and Pear Pizzazz markers

Card stock: Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

Other: Large Heart punch, Stamp-a-majig

One of the benefits of having a new carpet fitted is that my youngest son has been prompted to have a sort-out in his room. One of the things he found on his music shelf was a nursery rhymes CD from when he was a tot. "40 favourite nursery rhymes!" read the blurb on the CD but the rest was obscured by a sticker saying rather surprisingly: "Includes the hit single Dead Ringer For Love"! My son's explanation for this was that he'd enjoyed putting stickers on things when he was little - he'd taken this one off his father's Meatloaf album 'Bat Out of Hell' and placed it on his own CD!

Well it's time for me to have a bit of a tidy up now! Shame the house doesn't sort itself out really! Enjoy your day and I'll see you tomorrow.

Hugs,
