Class Projects....

I thought I would pop in and share some more projects from Wednesdays 'Lumby Craft and Cuppa'. It was the first session of 2016 and it was good to see the ladies who attend again to have a good catch up as well as do some crafting! I run my Craft and Cuppa sessions fortnightly at a local garden centre and offer a couple of options for people attending they can either make a single handmade card or join me for a full class which involves making three projects which are generally two cards and a 3D item. As promised here are the photos.


I cased a second card from Onstage Live in Brussels but tweaked a few things. We used a stencil to colour in the inside bits with a blender pen before die cutting two Roses from Silver Foil Paper  to glue over the top. To add a little bit of extra dimension we also used the Wink of Stella but its not easy to see here.


We used two of the smaller thinlets that come with this set to cut some leaves and a smaller rose which we then glued to a piece of  DSP which is one of the select Sale A Bration products you can choose from with a qualifying order of £45 or more, We then fussy cut round it and added some more Wink of Stella to it.

And finally here is a photo of all the makes together, If you would like to find out more about the products I have used here or even to purchase them then please follow this link http://goo.gl/yODa4E to visit my shop.

New Year, New Products, New Cards........


Happy New Year! Gosh it all went so fast and now its time to get back into life again. Well the first week of the new school term is ticked off, its always difficult getting back into a routine again after the holidays. The saving grace this week was that the New Spring/ Summer Seasonal launched on Tuesday along with Sale-A-Bration. For those of you who are puzzled about what Sale-A -Bration is, its a highlight in the Stampin' Up! Year as for every £45 you spend  you get to choose an extra product FREE from a EXCLUSIVE selection of products.

I was very fortunate to go along to Onstage Live last year in Brussels where I along with other attendees got to see, experience and use new products from the newly released Seasonal. Whilst we were there we were shown many samples and below is one that I just fell in love with straight away. I knew I wanted to buy the products to recreate and case this card and I am pleased to say I still like it just as much now as I did then. We will be making this card at my Craft and Cuppa next week, which I run at a local Garden Centre to me in Lumby.



To make the card I used the New Rose Wonder Photo polymer Stamp set and the coordinating Rose Garden Thinlets Dies. If you like them as much as I do they can be purchased via my online shop please find the link to the side of my blog.

Thank you for visiting hopefully I wont leave it so long before I pop in next!
