Stampin' Up's Pictogram Punches with Be The Star

Good Morning!

First of all I'd like to say a huge Hello and Welcome to my new followers I have had arrive here, on my 'lil 'ole blog and on Facebook too the last few weeks! I love that you want to visit me here :-D

So, as many of you may know, yesterday was World Card Making Day and, as it was dreadful weather here in the South of the UK for most of the day can you guess what I did? Nope! I never even set foot into my craft room!! How awful is that?! We visited with my FiL during the day, went for lunch and I went to work in the evening. Rubbish huh? So today I'm totally going to make up for that, I can promise you!

But first I have a card to share with you, my blog-tastic friends! If you follow me on Facebook I shared this and a couple of other cards there yesterday in my (sadly, only) nod to the special day it was. 

We had made this card at class last week using the stamp sets Pictogram Punches and the Be The Star in a summery Strawberry Slush and Blackberry Bliss colour combo...

 After stamping the sentiment in Strawberry we stamped just the star in Blackberry and punched it out, off setting it slightly then topped it with a Silver Glimmer punched star too to make this triple layered sentiment.

 And I side view to finish today.

 This card is a great one for posting as I managed to refrain from adding lots of thick layers to it (very unusual, I know!) 

I think it would also make a fab guys card too if you simply changed the colours up a bit... hmm.. might just  give that a go later today...

 

OK, I'm off to have a play, I have a l-o-n-g list of cards I need to make today (7 actually) before I can just see where it takes me. I'll let you know how I'm  getting on through the day via Intsagram (I'm quite new to Instagram, but loving it!) and Facebook if you fancy following me ;-)

Stampin' hugs for today,

Pictogram Punches by Stampin' Up! after my failed IKEA trip ;-)

Hello there,

I've been out this morning with my Mum on a little trip to IKEA as I wanted to get myself another Raskog trolley for my craft room (see the first one HERE on Facebook). I actually wanted this one so I could pop my class baskets on it as I was making them up but alas they had no grey ones in stock! So now I'm disappointed from Dibden Purlieu... ;-) Looks like I'll be popping back over there after Friday when they are getting more in - I might even manage to talk hubby into paying it if he's with me?? Ha ha!

So now I'm home I am going to share with you one of yesterdays class cards. This class focused on new products from both the (still new) Annual catalogue and the (also new) Autumn/Winter catalogue too! 

This set is from the Annual catalogue and is called Pictogram Punches, it matches (perhaps not surprisingly) the Itty Bitty Punches ;-) and I made it in a Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana colour combo. Desperately holding onto summer, who me?

 We stamped and punched the flowers out curving them before glueing them onto the stems with a tiny dab of Tombow in the centre only for this effect...

 ...and we added a Coastal Cabana thick twine bow at the bottom of the card. You also can see here the layering of the front piece of card using dimensionals after we embossed it using the chevron folder. 

Well, I hope you liked my slice of summer for today and I'll be back tomorrow with a new card. 

**Please don't forget to book your place at my ALL DAY CHRISTMAS CLASS coming in October, I'm fast filling up for both Saturday and Monday but still have a few places left with more on Tuesday!
Message me to join us :-)**
