SU! Stitched Felt Ornaments

Hello there,

I was having a play around with the stitched ornaments from the Autumn/Winter catalogue ready for the all day class and came up with this simple and easy to make card using them, this is another card which would be easy to make in multiples. I embossed the DSP with the woodgrain folder but it's not that easy to see here ;-)

 A close up of the pretty stitched felt, I also used the border style stamp from Make a Mitten across the bottom for a bit of extra detail

 and finally a sweater trim pull to open the card finishes it off nicely

Right, I'm off out with the family for a bit, back soon!

More Make a Mitten

Hello,

I am back to sharing my all day class makes with you today. As you may guess by now I love the Make a Mitten stamp set and this one is a fairly easy card to make multiples of as I simply inked the mittens using my markers for the multi coloured effect before die cutting them out as a whole with framelits

 I added Pool Party bakers twine for the string and glue dotted it up at the side so it didn't just hang ;-)

 This pretty effect was made using versamark on the matching wheel and heat embossed with white embossing powder, looks pretty doesn't it?

Right, I'm off to get ready for next weeks New Catalogue class, I still have a couple of places left on Wednesday if you would like to join us then please email me to book a place

Harry Potter Card

Hello there, 

two posts in one day eh? get me! Well today is my youngest son Zack's birthday. He is 8 and for his birthday he really wanted to go to the Harry Potter studio tour so I decided to make his birthday card with this theme in mind :-)

I have used Jack of All Trades for the "Sorting Hat" and also for the background where I stamped the little twirl with versamark and used heat and stick powder with dazzling diamonds glitter for magical swirls from a wand ;-) Sentiment is the new Memorable Moments set (page 139) with Apothecary Accents framelits to cut it out,

"Hedwig" is from the Owl Occasions set in the Autumn/Winter Catalogue (page 13) and I clear heat embossed him before cutting a wand free hand from card

 and a little Hedwig  decorated the inside corner too.

Right, I must dash and go get the birthday boy from school so he can have birthday tea with his friends tonight,

Thanks for visiting today,

Hello there,

Today I'm going to share a really quick but beautifully blingy make for Christmas! I used the Champagne glimmer paper and the lovely new Bigz Snow Flurry die (page 14 A/W seasonal catty). 

You could knock up a big batch of these in no time :-)

 gotta have some bows on your cards eh?? I used some more Vanilla Seam Binding here

and just look how sparkly those snowflakes are made with this paper? I love it! 

OK, quick post today as I have to get ready for class,

Back tomorrow with more!

Make a Mitten card

Hello there,

I am back today with another card made at my All day Class last week. For this one we used the very versatile Make a Mitten stamp set, but just for the background on todays make! 

The card uses a favourite Christmas colour combo of mine of Baja Breeze and Cherry Cobbler, 

We used the matching punch to make the actual mittens and I think they turned out pretty cute!  

TIP: Punch your first mitten from the paper and then flip the paper over for the second mitten. This gives you a pair of mittens rather than two with thumbs going the same way ;-) 

We also used the new piercing guides found in the Autumn/Winter catalogue (page 30) and just £7.25!

Pierce on the reverse side of your paper for this look.

 and some Cherry Cobbler Sweater Trim finishes this card off reminding me of the string you used to have when you were little keeping your mittens in your coat :-D

Right, back tomorrow with more

Thanks for stopping by today,

Heart of Christmas

Hello there, 

I have another all day class today and so I am going to share with you the projects over the next few days with  you here on my blog!

First up this gorgeously decadent tag ;-)

We used the fab "Heart of Christmas" stamp which is a bargain at just £7.95, see page 15 of the Autumn/Winter catalogue HERE for another look. Antiqued with the spritzer tool,

and a large rosette made with paper from the Festival of Prints stack (page 20 of the same catty) which everyone received in their kit bag

a lush double bow made with vanilla seam binding and cherry cobbler sweater trim, topped with a bronze button,

 all tied to a white paper bag for that special gift!

Right, I have a busy day ahead so I must dash, 

Thanks ever so for looking today

Scentsational Season by SU! Gifts and a Card

Hello again, 

Get me, 2 days in a row!! Ha ha! 

Today I have a couple of cute projects to share with you using the brilliant Scentsational Season bundle from the Autumn/Winter SU! catalogue. I love that there are matching dies that go with this stamp set, great for lots of easy makes ;-)

This card was made at my All Day Class last week (and later this week too)

 Loving the ribbon sliders on the sweater trim, 

cute gingerbread men with glitter glue buttons 

 And now, for this next project I made some cool pencil holders, I am going to make a load of these for Halloween too (obviously not with this stamp set but more on those soon though)

 'lil gingerbread men

 I stamped the background using Versamark and inked the edges with white craft ink before stitching to make a pocket

But I didn't just make gingerbread men ones, I made a selection of designs using this lovely set :-)

So, if you would like to get your hands on this bundle then please just email me for details on how you can get a hold of them.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Sampin' Up! Perfectly Preserved

Hello there,

I am hosting a Macmillan coffee morning today but I thought I would pop on and share a card with you first ;-) I will try to remember to take a few pics today and share some of the goings on tomorrow too.

So, on to today's card. I made this one for my lovely friend and down line Anna for her birthday a few weeks ago and as I am so in love with this set I just had to use it ;-) 

I used a rich and feminine colour combo of Island Indigo and Raspberry Ripple with Crumb Cake

 some masking of the flowers to fit them in the jar

I *heart* this ruffled ribbon, it also makes great flowers (see side bar for tutorial)

 and I decorated inside too

and I also made a matchbox style box to pop her gift in too 

Island Indigo card for the base with an outer wrapper made with Orchard Harvest DSP from the Autumn/Winter catalogue (page 28)

with a matching jar on the front to finish

Right, I had better get going before everyone gets here, wish me luck!!

Stampin' Hugs for today,

Toxic Treats by Stampin' Up!

Hello there, 

Today I want to share with you some Halloween bunting I made recently using the awesome Toxic Treat stamp set, loving toxic treats and as you can see here it's not just to decorate gifts!

Waa hhaaa hhhaa haaaa :-)

We will be making a similar version of this at the Halloween Bunting class on the Monday 8th October if you would like to come along and make this then please email me to book a spot. 

So, how about a few close ups for you too...

 I inked all the edges with basic grey ink for that spooky feel

 and stamped different images using markers for that multi coloured look

 with the smaller triangles in between

 I also hung the bunting with bakers twine, adding some stripey ribbon in a knot in between each pennant

Well, that's all for today, I hope you like today's post and I will be back soon with more Halloween treats.

Thanks for dropping by today
