Tags - the countdown...

Well I finished my day job today for Christmas... along with my wrapping!

I LOVE the new Wink of Stella glitter pens! I just coated the snowmen from Snow Place for a subtle glistening effect, I just love the corner punch too!

I don't think you can see the glitter in the pictures... but here are all the tags ready to go!

And it's your last chance to order from the seasonal catalogue before everything retires.

I'm all set for Christmas - the fridge in the studio has been stocked up... with a couple of soft drinks and LOTS of wine and gin!

I'm taking bookings for January now and if you would like to come to a class, send me a message via KnallCrafting on Facebook or email So far I have classes on the 4th, 11th and 18th! I can tell it's going to be another busy year!

Just another little snippet of news... I have a new day job! Same company, different department, same level - just expanding my knowledge and experience... so wish me luck - first day on the 18th of January!

Stampin' Up!... Snowmen Sunday!

Hope you have all had a fabulous weekend... Saturday was a bit miserable but today has been lovely. I've been down in the studio papercutting all afternoon. I'll show you some of my creations at some point.

The dark evenings are here now the clocks have gone back and the days will just get shorter so I'll be spending more time crafting I expect. I promised you something and haven't had a chance to upload!

Here it is! The long promised and long awaited video tutorial for the Pop-Up Snowman card I showed you a while back...

The snowmen could be replaced with anything of your choice.

Here's the inside of the card as a reminder...

I used the Snow Place stamp set and Snow Friends Framelits.

My classes are super busy - which is amazing as I have lots of lovely new lades! I went to my very first crop at the weekend with the Wycombe Scrappers - a lovely group of ladies - I just have to find time to go again! I did make a good start on my convention swaps!

So today it's just a quicky... and to let you know the Pinkies are doing another Blog Hop at the weekend so don't miss that!

This was something I tried out when I was designing for this months' classes.

Kinda cute - but what's so great I hear you ask!

Snow Place - Snow Friends

I know - it's the middle of summer and I'm talking about snow! But we crafters have to start thinking about Christmas early on if we're going to get all those cards ready for posting.

Well the new Stampin' Up! seasonal catalogue will be with you in just a few weeks and if you order from me any time from now - you will get a free copy!

My pre-order arrived yesterday and I only got the chance to play tonight, can you believe that. I'll show you why as you go down the page. But first three of the new products, and we'll be using these in September's classes.

Here I have used the new Snow Friends framelits to cut out the Snow Place stamps - it's a fabulous bundle so put it on your wish list!

And that window is using the Hearth and Home thinlit dies.

Fabulous aren't they! I can't wait to play some more.

And the latest news on the new studio? Lights in, Windows and Doors in... Floor on its way and we should hopefully be in for the September classes! Take the time to comment on the blog and you could be selected to have a free class in the new studio!
