Hi there, All going well we should be having this class on 6th October in my classroom, I've based the class around the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, and as there's quite a bit of stamping involved it is an in-person class, however there will be a new postal class coming soon (stay tuned....) Anyway here are the cards, and at the bottom I'll add links which show you exactly what I've used for each card: This first one I wanted to show both sides of the designer paper, as it's so pretty! then I've used the Enjoy the moment stamp set to stamp the seed pods (haven't used this set much) The second card I've gone with the Daisy Lane Stamp set and matching Medium Daisy Punch (again a stamp set I haven't used in a while!) 3rd card is such a wintry pattern (and of course being English, wintry patterns remind me of Christmas....)  So these 3 trees and saying come from Perfectly Plaid stamp set and the matching Pine Tree Punch.

Hi Creators, Today I thought I'd mix the old with the new, New Stamp set and punch - old colours. Stampin' Up have a 3 Tier's of Stampers system currently, Beginner Stamper, Casual Crafter and Avid Stamper (no prizes for guessing which category I'm in lol).   However I thought yesterday I'd try out a series of 3 cards 1 for each category using exactly the same stamp set and accessories. So for the beginner Stamper, it's kept as basic as possible #simplestamping I've picked 3 colours, a pair of Paper Snips (scissors) my Daisy Lane stamp set and an embellishment (Oh and a dimensional) The colours I chose are Berry Burst, Tranquil Tide and Powder Pink, which sadly we're saying goodbye to as they are the In Colours that are retiring with this current catalogue :(  I've stamped the stem first, then added the large flower and saying, the small flower is stamped on spare Vanilla card, and cut out with the paper snips, and then it covers the gap betw
