Christmas Stamp-a-Stack

Hello,

I know I said I would be sharing this months class projects with you today but I decided first to show you the projects we will be making at the Stamp-a-Stack class I am holding later this month,

Monday 19th FULL, Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st September.

I only have a few spaces left for this class now so EMAIL me asap to reserve your place.

We will be making 10 post friendly cards in this class, this simply means they will not need a large letter stamp, they are so pricey now aren't they?! And I decided to use the soon to be retiring Jolly Holiday DSP for these projects so have gone with a co-ordinating and traditional colour scheme of Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Crumb Cake, retiring products can be found HERE.

We will be making 2 each of 5 designs:

 With envelopes and all materials included for just £12!

Class runs from 9.30-12.30 for this one as I don't want you to be too rushed. To reserve your place then please email me sarah-janerae@sky.com or call 023 8084 3597

I look forward to seeing you at this class ;-)

Christmas box and mini cards

Hello,

I have a little festive box to share with you today, it is actually the Colour Coach box I made recently, tutorial is HERE but I think it would make great table favours, or even kids party favour too...ooo, that's a good idea, watch this space ;-)

I gave this one a Christmas swing with a Night of Navy and Marina Mist colour combo and Delightful Decorations stamp set

and a few mini cards to match, these are just 3"x3" square

Well, quick post today for you, I will be back tomorrow with a card
Thanks for dropping by today,

Teachers Wine Bottle Tags

Hello...

...and welcome to the mad house! well it has been these last few days! You know how it is! How are your preparations going then? Mostly done too by now I hope??

Right then, today I have the tags I made for the teachers bottles of wine. They really do deserve these don't you think?! the basic idea came from the lovely Michelle, thanks hun x I changed mine around a bit taking colour inspiration from one of the swaps I made at convention; Concord Crush and Blushing Bride. Love the co-ordinating ribbon ;-)

Stamps used were Dasher, Delightful Decorations and Perfect Punches, I spritzed the base with shimmer spray too,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and what have the kids been doing while I have been finishing making cards and wrapping gifts??

well the boys played for hours with a Volcano making kit on Tuesday ;-)

and then the little ones went to the dancing party tonight... and it was fancy dress! we wrapped Zack in paper to be a gift! and Zoe was Barbie in a gift bag!

Well, I hope you enjoyed that little look into the chaos that is my life right now (Loving it btw :-D)
and that your preparations are going equally as well,

Catch up soon,

Hugs,

For the Teachers Assistants

Hello,

How's things going for you? I have managed to wrap most of my gifts now but I still have a couple of things to make, another gift card holder, a card for a voucher, etc....
Good news is my Mum is out out of hospital :-D bad news this weekend was the two little ones have been poorly again, temps back and generally feeling rubbish :-( and now the snow is back so I better get on with my jobs so I can make it to the Post Office!
I have the teachers assistants gifts to show you today, 2 each for Zoe and Zack. I made them all the same as I had left it right to the last minute (again!) it seems to be a recurring theme this year! why are some Christmases like that?? I am usually so organised!
Anyway back to this project...
I went for the milk carton again but this year used Bashful Blue with the Delightful Decorations stamp set to decorate the carton and Gifted set to make both labels,



A close up of the label on the front of each which I also added Dazzling Diamonds too, I inked with the markers to make it multi coloured easily,



And finally, I spritzed them all with shimmer spray for added bling!



Well, must get cracking I suppose.
Have a warm and safe day,
Stampin' Hugs,

Baubles!

Good Evening,

I have been running round all day again, visiting my mum (she is doing well) my friend cam e and did this months packaging class and I finally got round to wrapping some presents! yay! I still have a very long way to go but at least it is started!

I have the other card I said about yesterday to share today, it is much the same layout as yesterdays one and I also spritzed away again, there though the similarities end ;-)

I used Delightful Decorations to make this 3d bauble in Baja Breeze on Crumb Cake then drenched it in Dazzling Diamonds, the little snowflake is from Every Little Bit and the large one on the background is again from Winters Post, both stamped in Versamark,

Curly Cute again for the sentiment with a line of pearls,

the inside with a yummy pearl in the middle of the snowflake,

and finally the arty angle with baubles :-D

Well, lots planned for this weekend but with the snow coming in supposedly and I now have just had Zack come downstairs with a temperature again, (noooo!) I am not too sure what, if anything I will get done outside of the house!

I will keep in touch, 'till then keep warm xx

Last Card for Novembers Class

Hello,
So, yesterday I held my Christmas card class and over the last few days I have been sharing with you the makes and here is the final one. I have a lady who couldn't make it this week so I am running this class again on Tuesday 30th November so if you would like to come along and make the 4 cards I have shown then please drop me a line sarah-janerae@sky.com

Back to this card, Old Olive base with Delightful Decorations ornaments, sentiment from Sparkly and Bright and lashings of Dazzling Diamonds- well its not Christmas without a generous helping of glitter is it??

I used the Sparkle and Shine wheel across the bottom of the base and the pretty Scallop Trim Border punch on the edge of the mat too,

That's it for today, don't forget to check out the fantastic value shares I added to the top of my blog last night,

Stampin' Hugs,

Class Card

Hello,
I hope your weekend was great, Zack had 2 parties this weekend so I had 2 boys cards to design, both the boys are called Harry too! and I have to say it was quite easy with the fab new stamps Party This Way, I will share them with you very soon.

Anyway onto my 3rd card for Mondays class, I am repeating this class next Tuesday (30th Nov)too if you still want to come email me for more info :-D

Another Cherry Cobbler for you with the brill Delightful Decorations stamps and don't you just LOVE the wide striped ribbon?? and even better you can get yourself a whole roll for FREE, see top of this blog or email me for more details.

Sorry for the blurry picture, I seem to be having trouble getting a good one at the mo, but you get the idea??

Arty angle to show the dimension of the bauble and those sparkly rhinestones are in there again, sentiment is Curly Cute, sweet one huh? and a bit of tearing too ;-)

Well, quick one tonight as I still have jobs to do for the morning,

Happy Stampin' and big hugs,

Convention Time!!!

Hello,

I have been a busy girl these last few weeks with the house and of course getting ready for this convention weekend! I will be scheduling some posts the next few days with some cards I have made for swaps, now, I get a bit bored making lots of the same thing so I made 20 or so of a few designs.

I will start today with a card made using the Delightful Decorations set with the matching ornament punch which just so happens to have a brilliant offer on it for November and December, see top post!

The centre ornament is from the Jolly Holly Designer Paper Pack and the greeting is from my favourite new sentiment set Curly Cute, love it! Background was made using the Sparkle and Shine wheel with Versamrk ink.

as you can see I have made the sentiment "wave" by adding some dimensionals under the middle and end, I hope you like and do pop back over the weekend for more swaps from me. Next week I will be sharing the swaps and stories I receive with you too :-)

Thanks for stopping by
