Hi Everyone, Well as May is at the end of this week, thought I'd better get my act into gear and show you the cards we'll be making at the "4 Cards" classes on Saturday 5th, and Wednesday 9th. I'll jump right in with a brand new Stamp set - Love what you do, which will be available from tomorrow, as a pre-order for you in special bundles (see the video Stampin' Up! have created for it in my "specials happening tab" Oh and spot the new colour?  Grapefruit Grove. Card #2 also uses new stuff - the Love What You Do Specialty Designer Series Paper, oh my goodness it's gorgeous, has a pearl effect (as Stampin' Up! is in it's 30th year, and Pearl being the 30th Anniversary "stone") I've teamed it up with the Duet Banner Punch and the Thoughtful Banners Stamp set . Card #3, and we're back to the "old" finally using my Marbled Stamp as the swirly background, and the Stylized Birthday stamp (which is on

Hi there, thought I'd share with you the creations we made at my Coffee&Cards Class in Dunolly on 23rd. I'm having a bit of a thing with small cards at the moment lol, so I thought what better than to showcase the Notecards and Envelopes that have been around for ages, also the Narrow Notecards and Envelopes (which are currently in the Occasions catalogue and will be moving into the new Annual Catalogue) and also the little 3x3 envelopes, which fit small cards, you can get 6 of them out of a piece of A4 cardstock. Anyway I'm pretty sure you didn't come here to hear me waffle on, so onto the cards! So this first one is the one using the Vanilla Notecards and envelopes, (at only 53c per notecard and envelope they're very economical, and very handy to not have to cut and score you're own!) we also used one of the gorgeous Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers , just cut in 1/2 and the ladies loved that they are really stickers so just peel off the backing!  You

Hi There, Thought I'd do a couple of quick videos for you on how to put your tag card together this month, and part of how I've created the "thankyou" card, which was quick doing the videos, then I've waited the whole day for them to upload to u-tube, and the internet is running like a slug! (and it's not Turbo for those of you who have seen the kids video!) lol, so finally I think I'm there 😁 Just before I get into that *hot news!* the Clearance Rack has just been updated with a heap of reduced products, check them out here: Clearance Rack  if you do put an order in use the open hostess code for the month SBN2669E for a chance to win the FREE GOODIES! However photos first.... this is the card you'll be able to make with your tag: this uses the Bottles & Bubbles bundle (which is only a bundle till the end of the current catalogue, after that you'll pay 10% more to get the dies and stamps!)  also uses the Celebrate You thinlit dies, which

Hi there, This month's interactive class is Bendi Cards 😊 I have 2 cards created to do in the class, and here they are: If you choose this as an "at home" kit for this first card you will need some cloud stamps, and a couple of balloon stamps, along with a saying, I have used Lift me Up Stamp set,   I will provide the cut out pieces, but I can't stamp them for you.  The second card has 2 variations;  this first one is where you'll use the stamps and dies from Magical Day bundle, which is what we'll do in the class (saves fussy cutting! ), then you'll colour in the images.  This second version is the "at Home" version, as it uses the images from the Myths and Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper, and involves fussy cutting the images out (on the plus side they are pre coloured for you lol, however the images may vary from mine. and you will need a saying.  The class date is Tuesday 24th April there are 2 classes, 10.30am and

Hi There! As my card classes restart again this Saturday thought I'd best pop up the creations we'll be making! (I'll do a separate post for the Interactive Card Class) So first up, I've been wanting to use this little bunny for a while now, but hadn't got round to it, so finally...... and inside the card It uses the really cute Sweet little Something Stamp set , and also teamed up with some of the wording from Bird Banter .  Next up is this one which was a request (do feel free to request certain cards, if you see that I've made them!)  As it uses the Brusho to create the Watercolour background it can be done in different colours, and the stamp set Watercolor Words , which obviously goes well with the watercolour look!  Card #3 uses the beautiful Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper: Gee this paper is gorgeous, it is silver embossed, I've teamed it up with the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp set , to create the candles and

Hi there Well I've decided to try something new, as bundles don't continue on from one catalogue to the next with the 10% discount (they separate out and you pay the full amount for both). So I thought I could highlight some of the bundles and do a special deal, when you purchase the bundle from me, I will mail you instructions and cardstock, including pre-cut peices from other dies or punches to create 4 beautiful cards, for Free 😊 That'll get you creating with your new Stamp set and dies and hopefully give you inspiration to keep going!   This Offer will go for the month of April, if you aren't part of my Craft@Home group, please use this host code when you do your order, and you'll go into the draw to win the Host free benefits!

Hi There Well I ordered this Hold onto Hope bundle in order to use it at the fundraiser I did on Saturday, but guess what?  it arrived 2 days later, ha ha!  oh well......  at least it wasn't an integral part of the fundraiser cards! So today I had the chance to play with the stamps and dies, and oh my goodness I wish I'd got them earlier lol, always the way!  I've made up 3 cards to show you them, I've used all of the dies except the large straightforward cross, and I haven't used the saying "Celebrating one of God's most Remarkable Creations"  "You".  But I'm pretty sure I will use it at some point!  I'd love to hear what you think of the set (and my cards)  Here is the first card I made up, this was the die I originally fell in love with, such a pretty filigree cross! I've used one of the Sale-a-Bration stamps in the background - "Amazing You" , and lightly daubed round the edge of the card with Crushed Curry.  B
