March Occassions Class

My classes flew around quickly this month.
We used products mainly from the Occassions Catalogue

Card number one was simply yet effective.  We used Rich Razzleberry cardstock and gold foil paper.  The DSP is Painted with Love Speciality paper and I just love it!  WE also used the new Tailored Tag Punch.

All things new on this masculine card.  Truly Tailored Stamp set with True Gentleman DSP.  NEW navy corduroy ribbon and the new Tailored Tag Punch.

A new technique on this card.  We used the new BRUSHO crystal colour powders to get a quick and easy marbled effect. 

The last card used the SAB stampset 'Lots of Lavender' in a different way to look like wisteria.

As it was my last class before Easter, I used the Sweet Little Something stampset for a little Easter gift.

Don't forget Sale a Bration finishes at the end of this month (March) so get in quick to get some FREEBIES!

October update in November

Hi All
I'm playing catch up again - just when I was doing so well.
The silly season seems to arrived and I feel like I am all over the shop at the moment.
Anyway, with 46 days until Christmas, my October classes were all about getting some Christmas cards in order.
We used the Water Colour Christmas Project Kit and it was soooo easy to pump out 20 cards.  Everything is included in the kit except adhesive (you even get gorgeous gold paper lined envelopes)
Here are some samples of what we did:

Here is the kit!

As you can see, I varied the cards from what was suggested to give some more ideas as to what you can do.

If you would like to order a kit - contact me TODAY!

The other news for November is the launch of our new Stampin Blends.

Check out the colours....

That's it from me for now, hope you are enjoying the build up to the festive season

My tree is up!

Ho ho ho!!

September newbies

My September classes were fun and a tad time consuming...
We made the usual 4 cards but some were more fiddly than others.
Card 1:

Card one used the Tulip set - exclusively available to workshop hostesses.

I used the new in colours to produce a fun 'spring time' card.  This used a set of 2 step stamping.

More incolours were used in Card 2 - mixed with Wild Wasabi and Crushed curry.  The stampset is Painted Harvest which appears in the new Holiday Catalogue.  I just love it.  This also used 2 step stamping.

Card 3 uses another new Annual Catalogue product - Happiest of Days - Great for birthdays and thankyou cards - another incolour teamed with bakers twine and white doily.

Card 4 is where everyone slowed down.  (I had been nice and pre stamped the buildings, cars and trees), however the colouring and layout took some time.  Hope you agree its a fun looking card. It uses a Hostess set called In The City,  Colour Theory DSP as the background on Tangerine Tango cardstock for the base.

Ideal for anyone going away for a holiday, people moving house etc.

Here is the new Occassions Catalogue.  Follow the link below to take a look or contact me for a copy.

Holiday Catalogue

There are also new items added to the Clearance Rack - check it out here

August - playing catch up

This month my classes all used the beautiful DSP called Foil Frenzy. Metallic foil finish on crumb cake base.  Its simply bright and stunning - ideal for any fun card, box or project.

Don't you just love it?

Teamed with lemon lime twist cardstock and the Happy Birthday framelit - this is a funky fun birthday card.

Using the new crumb cake ribbon, framelits and stampset this card is almost 'Christmas inspired' with a bauble like feature hanging from the top of the card.

Another birthday card using the foil frenzy DSP cut into strips with all the colours in the pack.  Teamed with the Daisy punch in black cardstock.

The DSP was used as the background feature on this birthday card.  Sequins, accents and ribbon also added for extra bling and the Happy Birthday framelit.

Christmas in July

It was all go at my Christmas in July classes this week.  It was a busy time with lots of use of the Big shot cutting out all the shapes etc.

A new DSP  - Be Merry, teamed with the pretty pines thinlits.  Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler with a touch of Soft Suede.

Be Merry DSP with a Lovely as a Tree background; Featuring the new Merry Mistletoe stamp set embossed in Gold.  New ribbon too  - double stitched so you can use it both sides.

My fiddly but fav Christmas card - the door even opens to reveal a Christmas message.

 Seasonal Bells featured in this one with Garden Green and Real Red - embossed in silver with the leaves from the Pretty Pines framelit set

The seasonal bells set is also lovely for engagement or wedding cards.

Winter delights

June is here already and we are approaching the shortest day.

June is the month for a couple of birthdays (mine included) and we celebrated in my class yesterday with boston bun, cup cakes, lollies and delicious lemon tarts.

Happy birthday Nola

I was super lucky and scored some macarons for my birthday too.

Be sure to follow her new business venture on Instagram at hanmadedesserts for a dose of yumminess!

We made 4 cards using new items in my classes this month.  Take a look

This was also made using the Wood Textures DSP stack.

Another fav - Daisy delight used in a different way

I love the versatility of this set.  Great for birthdays or any occasion.

I also drew my birthday prize raffle.  The winner was Liz Aitken.  Congratulations Liz.

Hope you are all enjoying the new catalogue.  My wish list is growing each week.
