Using Birthday Bouquet DSP by Stampin' Up! to make a Pretty Birthday Card

Hello and welcome to tonights late night post! 

I hope you have enjoyed looking at the new Spring/Summer catalogue and the Sale-a-Bration freebies too? I honestly love so much in both of these books and I certainly couldn't choose just one favourite! Thanks also for your orders already, I appreciate you choosing me as your demo. I would love to see your makes, send me a picture HERE and I'll share them on the blog :-)

OK, lets get on with today's make! I have had so much fun playing with this DSP and as I am supplying half a pack in January's class I wanted to make at least one paper focused card and this is what I came up with...

I fussy cut this pretty rose from the designer series paper, curled it downwards using my bone folder and added it to a (new colour) Blushing Bride glimmer paper punched circle using a double layer of dimensionals.

TIP: Add a dab of crystal effects to your dimensional to ensure it adheres securely to glimmer paper. Leave flat to dry.

 More of that lovely glitter ribbon, just a touch this time though :-)

This sentiment is from the stamp set (also included at class) Birthday Blooms and notice that cute bow clip? Sweet!

 Not sure if you can see but I couldn't resist adding a touch of Wink of Stella to the rose. I'm thrilled SU! have started to sell these and as a long time owner of them I'm happy to be able to share them with you here.

 And a top view to finish tonight. This is such an easy, pretty card to make and super sparkly in real life!! And another card that would be great for making in multiples.

OK, so I hope you have enjoyed this card?

If you would like to purchase SU! products through me then please feel free to use this code for orders over £25 but under £150 for an extra freebie from me in February. 

Enjoy looking through the new catalogues and if you'd like hard copies please get in touch.

OK, so how about a card using a stamp set from the Spring/Summer catalogue AND a Sale-a-Bration set? Cool!

 I stamped the flower from Birthday Blooms onto watercolour paper, heat embossed in white (this makes it so easy to colour in!) and used my aquapainter to colour the image using Rose Red and Wild Wasabi for this fresh look...

The gorgeous "Hello" is a SAB free set, LOVE this set! and it's one of the limited time ones so grab yours quickly...

If you want to see what I'm making or doing when I'm not blogging then you could follow me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter where you may have seen a sneak peek of this card yesterday ;-)

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!
