Craft and Card Classes in Southampton using quality Stampin' Up! Supplies!

Hello,
I'm here with a little shameless plug for my upcoming 2016 craft and card classes! If you have been to a class with me before you'll know a little about how things work but I am making some changes at my classes for the new year and hope that you will come along and join us for some new and exciting crafting fun!
For more details on upcoming classes including all last booking dates please click HERE.
**Please Note: Booking for January's class must close on the 5th January to allow time for your kit arrive!**
Each class will now run for a longer time so we can do some more of the time consuming techniques but I'll still be keeping the classes small and running them on multiple days in a month so you can continue to come along on a day that suits you! Of course I will be available to help as much as is needed so each class is still suitable for all abilities :-) And as before ALL supplies are included in the price of the class. You'll only need to bring along your favourite tools (tweezers etc.).
So how about I share some photos of a class in acton?? Here are just a few of the ladies who came to one class in December (yes, that's my Mum on the left!) and we'd love to welcome you to our fun and friendly classes :-)

And here is the gorgeous wreath two of my ladies chose to make. December's class was a "Choose a kit" class. This wreath was truly lovely in real life!

 And here are a few photos of the stunning Watercolour Wishes kit that one lady made in December and I also ran at an earlier class in 2015, this has been a super popular kit and the results are so pretty. You can even choose make this at February's class instead of the You're So Lovely kit if you'd like? Message me to discuss your options and book a place :-)

 More Watercolour Wishes, all I added extra was some of the fine gold thread, the rest was in the box. Awesome!

 OK, so I know you're all waiting excitedly for the upcoming Spring/Summer catalogue but don't forget the fabulous Annual catalogue is still live and also the Year End Sale is still running for a crafty bargain :-)
Here is January's hostess code ;-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! to those who used Decembers code and just to let you know I'll be sending out the gifts soon...

Thanks so much for looking today and I hope to see you at a class soon!

Milk Carton for Emma

Good Morning!

Following on from yesterdays post the first gift I made for Emma was an A4 Milk Carton (tutorial available in the Dazzling Dozen pack) to match the card I made her :-)

Soft Suede and Cameo Coral colour combo was used again with Newsprint DSP,

A cute decorated clip holds it closed, love this crotchet trim!

and what was inside the carton??

Yep! A great selection of lots of the current ribbons I have to get her started on her crafty SU! journey!

Super quick post today but I will be back tomorrow with the final part of Emma's welcome gift

Stampin' Hugs for today,

I LOVE my job!!

Hello!

I have had a very busy week this week, hence my lack of blogging! Sorry for that lovely readers :-)

I had 3 Christmas Stamp-a-Stack classes this Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with 11 lovely ladies.

We had a wonderful time making THESE cards, singing Christmas songs and eating Mince Pies and Quality Street, it really was just like Christmas except for the tree ;-) If you would like to join us for the next class New catalogue class is on the st, 3rd, 4th and 5th October or the next Christmas Stamp-a-Stack on the 15th, 17th, 18th and 19th October then please message me on sarah-janerae at sky dot com to book your place, please hurry though as all dates are filling up fast and spaces are limited to just 6 and 5 per class respectively.

Anyway, so why do I love my job so much today then?? Well, the lovely Shirley was chatting at last fortnights class about a "friendship" cake she had received and made a few times and when she came to me on Wednesday she had bought me a little pot with the beginnings of the cake in it! How sweet! Here it is in the bowl, bubbling away

with a sheet of printed instructions too, Yum!

I was thrilled but then when I got in from my other job much later that night, much to my surprise I found this on my kitchen table!

I peeked inside

to find these beautiful candle holders

How gorgeous!! I was thrilled! and truly touched by the Ladies kindness!

Thank-you so much to all of the lovely ladies for coming to class but especially to Shirley, Cate and Emma for my lovely gifts! *mwah*

What a wonderful "job" being a demonstrator is, I have made so many new friends I would never have known and for that I am very thankful.

If you would like to make new friends and turn your hobby into a business then please message me for more details on joining SU! with me :-)

Right, I am off to get ready for next weeks class but I will be back tomorrow with my Simply Stampin' Challenge card too,
Thanks for stopping by today,

Day 6 of Dazzling Dozen Closer Looks

Good Morning to you today!

And today is the last day we all have off as a family this summer holidays so I am wondering what we will get up to? Perhaps a picnic in the forest? It is a shame the weather isn't better but at least it's not raining...yet ;-)

Anyhow, time for a closer look at the last 2 projects from my Dazzling Dozen Tutorials :-)

The first is a 10 card Christmas Stamp-a-Stack tutorial with all the measurements and designs you will need to run it as a class. I will be running this as a class myself in September (week of the 17th), go to my classes tab across the top of the page for more details and email me to book your place.

And finally a Curve Top Box using a whole sheet of A4 card with just an extra small piece of Very Vanilla card to stamp your image onto, a great size box and economical too!

and all the projects together once again ;-)

Well, thanks for stopping by today, I will be back tomorrow with some projects using the FREE GIFTS you can receive with a purchase this month, they are really beautiful and worth over £18 just for the ribbon and clips, that's without the gorgeous embroidered 'Cosmetics' Bag, I would say it is perfect for your crafty tools too ;-) Anyway, more on that tomorrow, bye for now
