Week 26 with Simply Stampin@ Challenges

Hello and Happy Saturday to you all!

I am soooo glad it's the weekend, mostly because I am not working this weekend and I am really hoping to get some paper time in there sometime ;-)

Anyway, it's time for another Simply Stampin' Challenge and this week it is a colour challenge,

Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz and Very Vanilla

I decided to make a simple Christmas card this week, I seem to have Christmas on my mind since I had 3 days of Christmas Stamp-a-Stacks last week along with festive music and mince pies etc. too! Lol!

So, I did make a boo boo and used Whisper White, just don't look too closely and you would hardly notice ;-)

and yummy Choc Chip Satin ribbon, I did spray the front with shimmer mist to finish but you can only spot it a little a bit by the bow?

This cute card would be so easy to make in multiples, a simple and pretty card but this stamp set "Gifted" is retiring, the updated list is HERE, plus it has 25% off too!! so if you want your very own then please email me asap to place you order :-) Don't forget if you place an order over £45 this month I will send you a FREE catalogue too!

And if you would like a little bit of Stampin' Up! yummy each month and the hostess benefits one of those months too then why not join my Stampers 6 club, more details HERE

Right, I'm off to spend the day tidying the garden (so I can craft guilt free tomorrow!)

Have a great Saturday whatever you are up to,

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,

Part Two December Class

Hello there this morning,

As promised here are the other projects we made on Monday at the Christmas Packaging class,
We stamped a plain paper bag with white craft ink using the snowflake from Sparkly and Bright,



and tied a lush bow with wide striped Marina Mist grosgrain ribbon



this image is from the set Gifted, inked with markers in Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler and Baja Breeze,



and my fave project from this month, a covered a peg.
I would like to make lots more of these before Christmas :-D .
Designer Papers are from the Jolly Holiday pack,




a side view showing the magnets we added with crystal effects so it can be used on your fridge...




and so we use it all year and not just for Christmas, we used tombow and waited 'till it was dry to make it re-positionable,



and all the projects together,



I really enjoyed this months class and I would like to thank all those ladies who were well enough to come this month and get well soon to a those who couldn't make it,
I am looking forward to many new and exciting classes next year if you would like to join us then please email me for more info
Stampin' Hugs,
