April Stampin' Up! Card Class - Birthday Blossoms

Hi Guys,

I hope you don't mind me delving into my archives for designs at the moment. I'm in a bit of pain with the hand still healing. I can't use my right hand much at all and certainly not for crafting or typing so thank you to my fabulous hubby for writing this!

I have an amazing friend who is prepping my classes for me and will be doing the practical stuff... so here are the cards for April!


This card... and the others all use Birthday Blossoms stamp set with the Pansy punch, this is my favourite!


I needed a little inspiration and I based the next card on one by Teri Pocock (I think!)


It's lovely isn't it?


I used the Petite Petals stamp set and punch too on this one.


The last card is this one.


It is based on a design by Sam Donald of Pootles fame... I'm proud to say we are both in the same team... she's just such an amazing business woman - I wish I had a 10th of her abilities!


So - back soon with some more from the archive!

Happy Stampin' Up! Mother's Day!

Hello my lovelies - I always seem to be apologising for not posting and today is no different! This time it's as a result of Carpal Release surgery on one of my wrists... so I'm one finger typing with my left hand... Not easy I can assure you!

Unfortunately I'm not a Mum - there are a lot of us out there you know... I'm waiting for Auntie Day to take off so I have a special day too!

But I still have my own Mum to celebrate and she's been looking after me this last 10 days since my op. Here are some of the cards I made this year for people... So everyone can celebrate their Mums!

March Card Class

Good evening! I hope you enjoyed some of the sunshine today... apparently the rain is in for the day tomorrow.

I've been knitting a jumper and got quite obsessed so I finished it in 20 days! I'm very proud - it's just a little on the large side - so I can grow into it!

I did manage to sneak in some card making at the weekend and finally designed the cards for my March classes.

The dates I have left available are the 22nd and the 27th of March at 7pm in Risborough.

The first card is this one - and you need to specify if you would like to make it in Blue or Pink.


I just love these! I used the Layering Squares framelit dies, the Sunshine Wishes thinlits, Gorgeous Grunge and Petite Petals stamp sets and the Petite Petals punch.


One has to have a little bling - and I think the Rhinestones really finish off the cards.


The second card we'll be making uses the Lift me Up Bundle - I love this and recommend snapping it up with the 10% discount whilst Sale-a-bration is on - then you qualify for a free item if you buy wood mount and only need to spend a little more if you buy the clear mount to get a freebie.


I chose the coordinating patterned papers myself... In fact I have 3 packs so I can make the most of this stamp set.

Lastly this month we're going to make a nice simple card using the Special Reason and Birthday Bright stamp sets, and the Layering Ovals framelits.



It's certainly going to be a packed class, so we're going to be working hard! I hope you'll join us! Just message me via email, text, phone me or send a message to the Knall Crafting FB page!
