Customer Gifts

Well I showed you the cards we made at class on Friday and I have delighted you with a short video tutorial and today, rather later than usual I wanted to show you the goodies that were awaiting my class attendees on Friday!

I have spent the afternoon recording videos so I just need to edit them and I'll be posting those soon. The series is a Back To Basics look at stamping... so watch this space.

Anyway as well as cherries and grapes we had fresh filter coffee and cake, as always!

Here is the breakfast bar all set up... can you see the gifts yet?

No more teasing - here they are, beautifully decorated notebooks using In-Colour DSP in Crisp Canteloupe, then I decorated labels made with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and mounted them on a doily after I stamped them with a design from Happy Watercolour and water coloured them with an Aqua Painter.

That cute butterfly is from the Beautiful Wings embosslit.

Well I'm off to make up the rabbit hutch so I can put her to bed and I'll get editing those videos... I have about ten to upload!

Night for now!

Tag Gift - Mini Scrapbook Tutorial

Well I did promise to post another video today and this is for the Tag Gift that I posted a little while ago...

Good job I decided to post this today as the lovely Michelle Last - our Pinkies upline, did a draw for a prize for a creation from the new catalogue - And I won! Thank you Michelle lovely! xxx Now everyone wants to see how I made it.

I had a busy day today, cleaning the house from top to bottom, cleaning out all the animals, walking the dogs... NOT in the rain! So I'm glad I had this to post as I've had no time to craft but now I've got all my chores done I have the whole day tomorrow to create gorgeous things.

I placed an order last night and just couldn't resist adding a few things for myself. Absolutely no self control!

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend and here is the video for you...

Classes

I thought I would share with you the cards we are making at my class on Wednesday the 12th February - In case you are interested due to an unexpected problem 2 of my ladies can't make it - so if you are quite near Princes Risborough and fancy coming along please let me know!

The first card is one you have seen before...

The sentiment can be changed to any and we will be using Pink Pirouette (That you will get as part of your kit as well as the stamp set and punch!).

The second is using the same stamp set and the Apothecary Accent die. I have also used the stripes embossing folder but you can't see it clearly in this photo.

Here is a close up of the sentiment - you might see the embossing more clearly too.

Lastly a lovely card - this technique was found by one of my fellow Pink Ladies and the girls made one similar at team training, unfortunately I was unable to go.

This technique uses the new Scallop Tag Punch. Beautiful isn't it? Stampin' Up! make some great products and I love to share them with you, you can see from these three cards how versatile the Petite Petals bundle is!

So if you want to come along on the 12th - get in touch - you can message me on Facebook, call me or e-mail. I am also looking for more lovely ladies to join my team - so if you love crafting, love sharing what you love, would like to get over £50 worth of FREE stuff and great discounts - get in touch too! It doesn't matter where you are in the country - I am here to support you with whatever you would like to get out of Stampin' Up!

Whether it's the flexibility of working your own hours doing something you love and building a business - or if you just want to join a supportive, creative team of ladies with great ideas and benefit from the offers and discounts available to you, without selling to others - I would love for you to join my team.

Happy - Sneak Peeks

Today I'm using colours I don't often use - thanks to the inspiration of some new Designer Series Paper - Watercolour Wonder. It is in the new seasonal catalogue - out on the 28th... and is probably my most favourite DSP ever!

I used it here as the mat on my card.

I then punched the tag with the new Scallop Tag punch, added a little of the new Gold Bakers Twine, decorated the tag with Flower Shop, adding a flower to each from Petite Petals, punched using the matching punch with 2 pearls added to the centres. Finally the sentiment is from the new Happy Watercolour set.

Such a beautiful spring like card - roll on summer!

Pop back soon!
