All Day Goodness

I am a little later today than originally planned but I have some more bits from Sunday all day class to share with you :-)

I went with a Spice Cake theme for this class and in addition to a whole pack of this gorgeous paper and all the card the ladies needed to make their projects, loads of fabric and ribbon they all had a pot of goodies which included mini vintage tags, antique brads, XL buttons, silver brads, clips....Anyway I wanted to do more than just give these bits in a cello bag so I decided to use the pots the brads came in (lucky I had a few extras) and decorate them up all prettily :-)

I made the flower with the circle punch and added Pear Pizazz seam binding leaves with a cute Handmade cut out to frame the flower

I scrunched the circles up and inked each layer and secured them together using a small brad which I then topped with an itty bitty flower and a pearl to finish

and here they are with all the yummy ribbon and fabric the ladies each had too

O.K. that's me for today, back tomorrow with more card yumminess
Stampin' Hugs from me for today,

Happy Valentines!

O.K. I must confess to not really being a Valentines kinda girl, in fact we are not a Valentines house at all really! However, having said that I really wanted to send my lovely down- a little something, just to let them know I am thinking of them, so Valentines day was just the perfect excuse ;-)
I made them each a little handbag using the Pillow Box die and the scallop square die with Spice cake DSP for the "flap"

I stamped the FREE Fresh Vintage flower stamp all over the soft suede pillow box and added a pretty antique brad for the clasp

all in a row :-)

and I also popped a little card in with them too. These were made with the full heart and triple heart punches with more Spice cake DSP

adding crystal effects and a rhinestone to a couple of the hearts to highlight

and all 4 cards together

Well girls, I hope you like your little something from me? And wishing a Happy Valentines to all :-D

Extra Class News

Hello there,

Yesterday was my all day class and can I say WOW! we had such a lovely time, lots of gorgeous projects, prizes and cake (of course)

Anyway, I did take a few pics on the day (not enough though) and I have more of the projects and giveaways to share with you but  still have to edit them so I will be back with those for you in the next day or so.

I also have some news for you, due to popular demand I am adding an extra 2 days of classes this month. We will be making this file folder with the matching 4 cards.

These extra dates will be the 28th and 29th of February, please hurry as there is very limited space on both these days. This class will be priced at £12.

Message me to reserve a spot

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope to see you here soon :-)

Borderlines

Hello there today,

It's a chilly one here, luckily I don't have to go out for very long as I will be spending most of the day getting ready for my All Day class tomorrow, good thing I don't need to tidy my craft room though, that might take more than a day!!!

Anyway, I have a bit of a change from SAB today for you, I recently purchased the fab set Borderlines from the new mini catalogue, love this simple little set and I recently saw this card on pinterest which completely inspired me to make this card, this is not the best picture I'm afraid, the colours have come out a bit funny ;-)

Loving the Basic Grey satin ribbon, but I have done better bows ;-)

The centre hole was punched with the new 2+3/8" scallop circle punch,

 I also added the little strip of Whisper White spots along the bottom and white inking around the edges too

Well, that's all for today, I hope you have enjoyed today's card.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm off to get the finishing touches ready for tomorrow, it should be a blast!

More SAB ;-)

Good Morning,

Super short post to day as I am off out to get some curtains for Zoe's room today, I am seriously hoping I will not be very long! Lol!

So, I have another card using the SAB set Fresh Vintage and the also free Everyday Enchantment DSP, I am sooo in love with this paper ;-)

I punched out the stamp images with the new Postage Stamp Punch from the mini catalogue, I have to admit to not being fussed by this...until I played with it that is, I really love how delicate it makes the image look, if you would like to have a play then why not book a home workshop and I will bring some goodies round to you for a play or join us at a class, more details about classes at the top of this blog, under the classes tab ;-)

All the edges were inked with Crumb Cake ink, this colour is just perfect for "antiquing" the edges of your paper

Right, that's me for today

Thanks for stopping by today

Simply Adorned

Good Morning,

This is a scheduled post as I am really hoping to get the painting finished in Zoe's bedroom today so that I can go shopping for curtains for her on Thursday ;-)

But as promised I wanted to share with you something a bit different today and so I thought I would show you my first project for the Simply Adorned range of jewellery, I have used some basic grey taffeta as I haven't yet got the chain, but it's on the way ;-) I do however like the look with ribbon, a softer look for a different outfit,

 I used a elegant eggplant layer as the base with the script from "Charming" stamp set and the heart is from Perfect Postage, all spritzed with shimmer mist (of course!)

These lovely pendants are nice and deep so you can get a fair amount of depth to your images and as you know I love depth to my crafts ;-)

You can see here I added some pretty little pearl strings to the heart, I am going to make lots of different inserts ready for a good few outfit matches, just as soon as I finish painting...

Well, I hope you have enjoyed today's crafty idea and if you would like your own simply adorned charm or even a closer look at a home workshop then please do get in touch.
One last thing I must mention, I have ONE last kit for my all day class on Sunday 12th Feb, message me asap to reserve a spot! More details HERE.

Another one for the File

Hello there,

Well, Zoe got to Castleton O.K. There is snow there (which she will love, we don't get a lot down South) and she has a lot of thermals and layers with her so she will be fine! I am looking forward to seeing the photos and hearing all about it :-)

So, today I have another card to share using the FREE Fresh Vintage stamps from SAB, I stamped the background with Versamark and the round flower from the set it's not that easy to tell with this photo though

with the matching Everyday Enchantment DSP and a sentiment from Elementary Elegance, WOW! That's a lot of free stuff going on this card ;-) Speaking of FREE how would you like 30% off your next order? And the chance to turn your hobby into a business? And even getting the cost of your starter kit back?

Message me for a no pressure chat about the benefits of becoming a SU! demo with me.

So, back to this card. I coloured the image with markers, stamped onto confetti white card and trimmed it out, matting the image with Peach Parfait card and again trimming, finished with a few more little pearls

Well, I hope you like today's card and I will be back tomorrow with something a bit different
Thanks for visiting today

Stampin' Hugs,

Good morning,

I was up really early (for me) this morning as Zoe had to be at school by 7.15  ready to set off for her school trip to Derbyshire :-) She has been so excited all weekend, and kept saying "I can't believe I'm going" every 5 minutes! So, I have waved goodbye (which was surprisingly short once her friends were there) and now I am just popping on here to post before I take the boys back round to school too, good job we live nice and close ;-)

Anyway, I have a card for you today, I have been playing with the SAB papers this last few days so I will be a doing a series of cards using them this week for you :-)

The first is a more manly card (I think) with the square punches being used to create a background with Everyday Enchantment DSP and the Outlined Occasions used for the sentiment. These can both be yours for FREE, see the pdf HERE

Across the bottom of the card I used the fab new set from the mini catalogue called Borderlines, love this set! Finishing with a string of linen thread,

A closer view of the sentiment, I coloured the letters in using Soft Suede and Crumb Cake using my blender pen, managing to resist the urge to glitter some or all of the letters in the hope of making this a more male card??

Right, that's me done for today. I have loads on this week including getting ready for my All Day Class which is next Sunday, I have one last kit for this class, message me to come and join in the fun!

Plus we are going to decorate Zoe's bedroom for when she comes home as a surprise! It's going to be a busy week!

Thanks for dropping by today

Another New Home

Good Morning!

And a frosty one it is here too, we don't have snow yet though ;-) We are really hoping it doesn't snow too much this weekend because our Zoe is off on a school trip to Derbyshire on Monday and if it snows too much they might just cancel it...Nooooooo! She would be devastated!

 Anyway, back to what you came her for, today's card :-)

The lovely lady who lived over the road moved out yesterday and so I wanted to give her a little card and as this was the one I was working on at the time I went with it, not a traditional New Home card, granted, but the sentiment I wrote inside was ;-)

So, I was playing with my FREE Fresh Vintage stamps (us demonstrators love free too) and also the FREE Everyday Enchantment DSP and this is what I came up with...

I coloured the main image with my SU! markers for maximum prettyness ;-)

*I am going to start a new marker share soon, message me for more details or to join*

and added a few pearls too

pleated 3mm taffeta with another pearl,

and inside a glitter brad with a punched flower

and well, I couldn't resist sending a little drink over for her to toast her new home tonight so I had one last bottle of  Homemade Sloe Gin left which I prettied up (of course)

Well, she seemed happy with the gift and I hope she liked the card when she opened it too!

I do hope you have enjoyed today's card too and if you want to place a SU! order or perhaps would like to chat about starting your own Stampin' business then please do get in touch
