Today's Party

Hi Everyone,
I thought I'd share what I taught at the party I did today, the hostess really likes the Beautiful You Stamp set so I created this card for the ladies to make:

They had a choice of the new Sale-a-bration glimmer papers to choose from to put behind their row of hearts, this one uses the Sweet Sugarplum, but also available in the pack is Mint Macaron, and Bermuda Bay (they're officially available from the 20th Feb to 31st March)  Also uses one of the beautiful lace trim stamps from Delicate Details stamp set, and the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper

Then the other thing I wanted to show was the really cool Project Life Cards, so we created cards like these, using the 3x4" cards from 2 different sets of cards - All Year Long Project Life Cards, and Hello Lovely Project Life Cards. (first card)

 

We used the Decorative Label Punch on both cards, funnily enough I hadn't realised I'd used it for both until I came to prep for the cards, Umm just goes to show which punch is my favourite! (such a handy size!), we sponged round the edge of the card (if it needed it), and it's mounted onto one of the notecards and envelopes that are in the catalogue

Just goes to show that you can create cards really easily with not too much, the ladies were pleased with their creations.

I hope this inspires you to create, and know that you don't need much to create a cute card!

God Bless love

Creations for classes in January 2017

Hi Everyone,
I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas and that 2017 will turn out to be an amazing year for you 😊

I have worked out my January class class projects (dates for classes are: Saturday 7th January 10am, and Wednesday 11th January 7.30pm which is what I'll be showing you in this blog
First up we have:

I couldn't resist using this new "Beautiful You" stamp set, I've also used the new Watercolour pencils to colour her in, and cut out with the Flower Medallion punch, the background paper is

 Serene Scenery.

As the background papers are all different, I thought I'd do another one to show you too:

I've done a close up of the writing to show you too as it's not so obvious in this photo, as the area I wanted to put the writing on is quite dark, I've added a layer of white first, but you do have to let it dry properly or it will fade away!

So the next card again uses a new set, that I've done a blog post on before feel free to check it out here:  Bookcase Builder Stamp set blog post

I said it last time and I'll say it again, I just love the sayings in this set! and I really think it makes a great baby card, I even think this card would look cute in a scrapbook album!

So onwards - next card uses, Oh look at that, again some new stuff! (huh who would have thought!)

Alright so this card uses the "So in Love Bundle" one of the pretty Thinlit dies, and one of the sayings from the set, the sayings can be interchanged, I just thought it's been a long time since I did a Happy Anniversary card!  Underneath you'll see the embossed piece - that's done with the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing folder (and Smoky Slate cardstock) - it's pretty cool!  Add a bit of the sequin trim (I've used the Blushing Bride colour to match the cardstock)  Love the way Stampin' Up! colour codes everything so it matches!
Onto the last card, and this time I chose not to use a new stamp set, but a continuing one from the Holiday Catalogue:

Paisleys and Posies, I haven't used this set much in the lead up to Christmas so I was quite relieved when it was continued!  Until the 3rd January you can actually buy the stamp set and the dies as a bundle, Paisleys and Posies bundle so if you're interested in them get in quick, or you'll be paying 10% more :(  I've also made up this board to show you what the dies will cut out.

the little tiny tear drops fit into the little stemmed flower next to it.

If you're free on either of the above dates, do come along to one of the classes, if you're not free but interested in instructions (or a kit, although bear in mind that I can't do the stamping for you), do let me know.

I hope this has inspired you to create (and check out the new Occasions Catalogue) if you don't have one let me know and I can get one to you 😁

God Bless love
