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,

Dasher for Mondays Class

Hello,

Here's hoping you are all well today, Zack has a party this morning and then we are going to brave the Christmas shopping! yes, on a Saturday too! I know, mad... well, I will let you know how it goes but first here is the next card ready for Monday and Tuesdays class,

I have stamped Dasher in Cherry Cobbler, with the sentiment coming from the Perfect Punches stamp set, both blinged up with Basic Rhinestones, sooo sparkly! paper is Jolly Holiday, more details on a share of the yummy new papers from the catty coming soon, watch this space...

All finished off with yummy Old Olive satin ribbon.

I hope you like today's card and if you want to come and make this and others then email me for details :-D

Stampin' hugs,

Easel Card

Hello there,

Here is the first sneaky peek at this months class, I have a couple of spaces still available for this Tuesdays class, please email me for directions, more details in the side bar>>>>>

So, onto the card, I have based this class around the gorgeous Jolly Holiday papers which have a colour combination of Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler (a firm favourite already) and Very Vanilla.

As you can see I made a base of Crumb Cake (formerly Kraft) then teamed it with this delicious Cherry Cobbler spotty paper and a hit of black to (hopefully??) modernise the whole look,

I then used the two step bird punch to create this adorable little robin red breast,

Finally the sentiment is from Occasional Greetings and all finished off with 5/8" grosgrain ribbon in black,

I hope you like this first of four cards and I will be back tomorrow with another one, of course first of all I need to re-take the photos of them as the ones I did today were totally roobish! lol!
Bye for now, Stampin' Hugs,

Convention sharing

Hello,
I have some gorgeous makes I received at convention to share with you today as well as some purchases only available at convention, {another great reason to come next year ;-)}

But first of all when we went to Monica's pre-convention party on the Thursday night we were presented with this gorgeous bag of goodies plus some munchies and a packet of hand wipes too, I love this set and I didn't have it either, great!

This picture shows the beautiful handmade gifts I received from my lovely fellow Jems, Thank-you ladies x

When we arrived at Addington Palace we each received this gorgeous bag (and yes, my Zoe has been trying to get it for school!) it contained 2 stamp sets, a lanyard, a pin, a pen and a schedule too

and here is the stunning brooch which Jules got for each of the Jems who attended this year, Thanks Jules x

and finally this is what I purchased from Momento Mall, I LOVE the pop up bin! and to think I nearly never got one!!

Well, I hope you enjoyed this little trip round some of my convention goodies, I will be back tomorrow with a sneak peek at next weeks card class, I am full on Monday now but am adding Tuesday to the dates if you are interested in coming and making 4 lovely Christmas cards then please email me for further info,

Thanks for looking today,

Stampin' Hugs,

More Swaps

Hello,
This card today is another one I made to swap at convention in London, it was so much fun to share ideas and I got some amazing ones in return which I will photograph and share with you over the coming weeks, but back to my makes for now, I used a base of Night of Navy with Soft Suede scallop circles, ribbon is Very Vanilla grosgrain,

The little pie and hammer are from Every Little Bit stamp set, sooo brill, Love this set, I have made more with it which I will show you soon too...

I have this set in clear mount which is great because you can see exactly where you are stamping your image without having to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig every time, great when you are in a hurry,



Sentiment is from Occasional Greetings,

That's all for today, I am off to do the glossing in Josh's room but I hope you like today's card,

Stampin' Hugs,

Dasher in Concord Crush

Hello,

I have another swap to share today, this time using the lovely Dasher, I have had him for a while but not actually even mounted him 'till I made these, shame on me!
So the base is Pretty in Pink with the strip of card down the side in Concord Crush with the (even better in real life) ribbon to match, snowflake is from Sparkly and Bright set using White craft ink,



I inked Dasher in Concord Crush and added oodles of Dazzling Diamonds glitter to his antlers, well, it's not a Christmas card without bling is it??



Sentiment is from Perfect Punches which I stamped twice and then punched the pink layer too,



I hope you like, I will be back tomorrow with some more of my swaps,
Hugs,

Roomie Gift

Hello,

When we go to Convention you make a gift for the person we are sharing the hotel room with and I was sharing with my lovely up line and very good friend Jules. I wanted to make something a bit special for her and I decided on a ribbon wreath, I chose to make it in Old Olive and yummy Rich Razzleberry,

This is what it looked like inside the box,

I decorated the outside of the box to match the ribbon colours too ;-)

the only two bits of stampin' were the Very Vintage wheel and the sentiment from Occasional Greetings, so cute. It doesn't show but I sprayed shimmer paint mixed with alcohol to give a great pearly shine to the whole outside of the lid,

Well, that's it for today, I will let you know what she thinks when I get back,

See you again soon,

Hugs,

Gumballs!

Hello,

I have a cute little card today that would be fabulous for birthdays for boys and girls alike, just jiggle the colours around! I have used Kraft, Tempting Turquoise and Real Red for the most part of this card and just look at that cute gumball machine from the Every Little Bit set...



Sentiment is from Crazy for Cupcakes, perfect with this stamp don't you think?



and a close up showing more Crystal effects, I think I need to add another bottle of this fab stuff to my next order, I have used gallons on my swaps!



O.K. that's all from me today,
Have a great day,
Hugs,

Gifts for my side lines

Hello,

I have made some keyrings to give to my fellow Jems, I purchased Plywood key fobs to alter, now these took me 2 days to do so I really hope they all like them!?
Stamp set used was Artistic Etchings which I LOVE!
Ink colours used were Kraft (fabulous) Baja Breeze and Basic Grey, a gorgeous colour combo,
Here are the front and back views


and this one shows the shine that crystal effects have given,



all packaged up,



and all together,



a short post from me today but back tomorrow with another card
Bye for now, 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
