Twitterpapated Cards and Bag

Hello,
I am back to it today after having a lovely day out with hubby yesterday, I have loads to do again but first I wanted stop by here and share with you the first part of our all day class with you, as promised ;-)
We began with this project making a set of four cards and a matching bag using the gorgeous Twitterpated papers and Apothecary Art, now this is definately a "need" stamp set and I don't mind saying I was not bothered by it when I first had it... but once I started playing with it, Oh wow! It is lovely!
 All made with a colour combo of Baja Breeze and Cherry Cobbler....
I know, the red in the paper is Riding Hood Red but I like Cherry more so we used that and I think it worked perfectly
 and the last one of the set
then we made a matching bag to keep the cards in, many thanks to Jules for the template, sharing what she loves! :-)
Well, that's today's share for you, I will be back tomorrow with some Father's Day class sneaks, Look forward to seeing you then,
Please remember I have just 3 places left for my Stamper's club which starts very soon, message me to join the fun!
Thanks for stopping by today,

So, I will share some today with you starting with place settings
 Handmade name tags for each person...
 a small gift from me with a couple of pillow boxes and tea cup stamping
 all the ladies had 1/2 a roll of blue and 1/2 a roll of red pleated ribbon so I made little boxes with the scallop envelope die, I love this size box ;-)
 and this is the table all laid up ready to go, 
and of course we had to have prize patrol... x3!!
We had a really lovely day and everyone managed to get all their projects finished more or less on time too. My next class is in 2 weeks, Father's Day/ Mens cards, message me to join us.

A new twist on Bright Blossoms by Stampin' Up!

Hello there,
What wonderful weather we are having right now in the UK! We had our first BBQ last night but today I have soooo much to do getting ready for the Craft Fayre on Saturday {Beaulieu Village Hall 10.30-3, message me for directions of you need them} and my All Day Class, which runs this Sunday, that I have be content inside, looking out of the window to the sun!
So, today I have a completely different look using this fab set from the Summer Mini, 
I really wanted to make some background paper with the stems and flowers in this set and this is the end result, I think it would look fab in so many different colour ways too! 
the colours I used were Lucky limeade, Crumb cake and Night of navy
 denim ribbon bow with the obligatory bling!
 and a sentiment using Curly Cute to finish
I sent this card to one of my team who reached a promotion, she is doing so well :-)
If you are interested in joining my team (The Southern Belles, not that you have to be in the South mind!!) then please remember that the fantastic offer for a FREE place at Convention {worth a whopping £149!!} ends at the end of May. PLUS the kit is now just £99 and is fully customisable too!!

Stampin' Up Bakers Twine and sweet Shop DSP

Hello there,
I have scheduled this post as today I am helping to cook a 3 course lunch with Zoe and 3 of her friends at school today. They have designed the menu themselves, sadly when the weather was a tad cooler because it is all quite heavy food which would be perfect for a cold day, but it is not cold right now though! Not that I am complaining at all mind!! Zoe is very excited and I am, of course, looking forward to helping the girls learn to cook a bit too :-)

So, today I am sharing a slightly different card to my usual, but I do like. I made this for my down line Hannah's birthday, it was quite a while ago now but I just have so much to show you!! Anyway, I think it would be great for using up all those scraps...

to begin I made a very basic mask so the wave in the centre was bare, I then used the spritzing tool to make a trail across the centre from corner to corner, I hope you can see in this close up...
 I made the little pom-poms from bakers twine and added some cute mini twitterpated buttons with in colour brads for a different texture too
 and a simple birthday greeting to finish the inside too, love Petit Pairs, it is my "go to" set right now for sentiments
Right, it is very late now and I have another busy day tomorrow!
Thanks for looking today folks,
Stampin' Hugs from me,

More Bright Blossoms by Stampin' up!

Hello there,
Well, the sun is shining and all is so much better here just because of that! I am indoors but have the windows and doors open, I just love the summer :-)
SO, today I have some more cards I made using the lovely Bright Blossoms stamp set, I used some of the gorgeous New Sweet Shop DSP to pretty up the bottom half of these cards, I love the In Colours this year!
 Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon was tucked under the stamped image
and some matching bakers twine with a tiny tag :-)
A couple of things before I go, remember there is a craft fayre at Beaulieu Village Hall on Saturday and I will be there with lots of other lovely, talented crafters, please do pop along and say Hi! And also I have  just THREE places left for my new Stampers 6 club starting in June, message me to join or go HERE to read a bit more about the club.
Right, that's me for today, I'm off to make more mess *ahem* create something pretty I mean ;-)
Thanks for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it,

Anniversary Wishes with Letter It Stamps

A few weeks ago it was our 16th Wedding anniversary! And as usual I was v-e-r-y late making this (think 11pm the night before! eeek!)
Anyway, luckily this idea has been floating round my head for a few days so it came together pretty quickly, lucky for me eh?? ;-) I used my new alphabet stamp set Letter It, great for guy cards don't you think?
I did some inking and embossing  on the semi circle, finishing by wrapping denim ribbon around...
 some (retired) jumbo eyelets adorn the ends of the ribbon and then adhered to the card
 and inside was embossed too :-)
 And now for something completely different!! I forgot to share the cakes I made a while ago for Harrison's birthday party, I made them in ice-cream cones and let me say e-a-s-y!! they look much more fiddly than they were to make, I will be making these again soon, I know :-)))
 And an all together shot to finish for today
Right, that's me for today, I will be back tomorrow with some more cardy goodness for you.
Thanks for stopping by today

SU! Twitterpated Fabric Brooches

Hi there,
I have a NO SEW fabric project today for you, I made these for all the girls in my team (and Laura) for when we went to Reading. I also sent just the brooch to my down line who couldn't attend, so they don't feel left out- hope you are wearing them girls!! ;-)
I made cute brooches and added them to a tag, we all wore them all day too :-)
I LOVE this fabric and I intend to make lots more of these, in fact I might have some for the Beaulieu Craft Fayre next week, message me if you want directions :-)
 In the bag they were attached to was a few essentials for a day of crafting...  Tissues (decorated, of course) Hand sanitiser and chocolate!
And a close up of the brooch, 
I used the fun flowers die to cut out the flowers, I think this is one of my most used dies, and just perfect with that pleated ribbon
OK, that's me for now, I'm off to create!
**Remember to book your spot on my All Day Class by Friday!!**

Emboss Resist Tea Shoppe by Stampin' Up!

Hello there today,
I have a card today that I made fr swaps at training the other week, I used the classic Emboss Resist technique with Sahara Sand and Basic Black, such a classic combo I think!
 I heat embossed the tea cup in white and then went over it with a sponge dauber and Sahara Sand ink
 this cute sentiment comes in the set
Well, I hope you like? I *heart* this set from the mini! They were very popular at training!
Thanks for visiting today
