For The New Two Stamp Set with Blackberry Bliss & Gold & Mobile Phones

Mobile Phones .... OMG What a Day!!

I very recently upgraded my mobile phone, but like a fool didn't back up my contacts, photo's etc to my desktop!

So there I was at 2am this-morning, trying to finish the 100 Hostess cards that I am making to go out to my customers with the new catalogue - but I didn't quite manage it before I accepted I needed to get some sleep

When this happens ....

I pick up my mobile phone to take it to my bedroom and charge overnight.

But my mobile phone slips out of my hand and drops momentarily into my glass of water!

The top of the phone barely touched the water before I grabbed it, pulled off the protective cover and dried the phone

But sadly it was too little too late.

Yes the screen flashed at me a few times and died .... arghhhhh

I was hopeful that I may still be able to transfer data before the replacement phone arrives

but the alerts I was initially receiving have stopped, and when we downloaded the transfer software programme, it is telling me there is no data on the pnone ... NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I just hope that when the replacement phone arrives tomorrow, that the sim card is OK

As I tupe this the screen is rapidly flashing st me with a green screen .... this is new????

Oh Dear .... I feel so stupid! But lesson learnt, the first item I download from the Play Store will be Samsung Smart

That is my moan for today out of the way. Sorry for sounding off, but I am SO mad with myself!!

So today, I have a quick but beautiful Wedding card to share with you.

I have used the 2014-16 In Colour Cardstock with a Crumb Cake Card Blank

What brings this card to life is the Gold Heat Embossing on the Blackberry Bliss Cardstock

And here are the products I have used today

Simply click on the product icons below to view in more detail, or to place an order

Table built using Product Table Builder by The Crafty Owl - Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Begin by making your A6 Card Base Using an A4 sheet of Crumb Cake Cardstock, Trim to size and score the middle, fold and give a crisp edge using a Bone Folder.

You will be working with the card blank in Landscape orientation

Trim a panel of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and stamp the sentiment from For The New Two Stamp Set onto the centre of the Blackberry Bliss cardstock using Versamark ink pad.

Sprinkle with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set with a heat tool

Now trim a small piece from a Tea Lace Doily and attach it to the revers side, of the cardstock along the bottom edge of the Blackberry Bliss panel. ... I used Fast Fuse adhesive for this,

Attach this panel to the centre of the card base using Fast Fuse (this is a really strong adhesive).

Next, trim two long strips of Hello Honey cardstock to just 0.5cm wide.

Create banner ends using the Banner Punch (you will need to insert the ends of the cardstock through the top of the Punch instead of through the side, and guide the cardstock between the cutting blades.)

Finish by taking a long single strand of Jute Ribbon and thread a  Very Vintage Designer Button, tie a bow at the back Button, and attach a Stampin Dimensional sticky foam pad to the back of the button and mount onto the card front.

And there is your card

I hope you like it?

I am now going to stomp off and sulk at the prospect of having to manually enter all my contacts onto the new phone as only a few are on my google account hrumph! ... lesson, well and truly learnt
