Affectionately Yours Suite Class

Hello - I thought I would pop in and share with you the remaining two cards we made with
The Affectionately Yours Suite at Lumby Craft and Cuppa the other week.

The first one is one of my go to cards to make, I have made so many different versions of this fun pop up card over the last  couple of years, it is just so effective and always looks fab!

It is really very easy to make as long as you have a piece of 12 x 12 Card stock , out of which  you can make two cards. I originally followed a tutorial by Inge Groot one of The Artisan  team members, I would post a link but I cannot for the life of me find the pinned post  - SORRY!

Our final card was a Pop- Up Gift Card Holder and for this I followed a tutorial by Crafty Caroline you can find the post here http://goo.gl/fh2CDC

Finally here is a picture of all three cards together , this proved to be really popular class, I was asked to run it a second time by some of my class ladies who had not been able to make the first date.

Finally here is a link to the products I used -  Shop now  - from the 7th - 31st July for every £45 you spend in the shop you will receive a voucher via email from Stampin' Up! for £4.50 which can be redeemed in August against a product of your choice.

 Thank you so much for visiting I really do appreciate it.

Is it really July already?

Class Projects

Well where is the year going? It is already the 1st July and only three weeks until the big school holidays. I am sorry for my lack of posts, life has just taken over this year. I have been holding classes and my Lumby Craft and Cuppa sessions as usual and have lots of photos of projects we have made ready to share but they just never made it onto here! I came along to update something the other day and realised how many hits my last post had, which is what inspired me to come along and post again.

So I thought I would start by sharing one of a series of three cards we made at  Lumby Craft and Cuppa about a month ago. I had bought some pre order products from the new Catty and wanted to make sure I used them so I set my mind to using the Affectionately Yours Suite of products. I fell in love with the papers so decided to buy the stamp set and embossing folders that complemented them. But I must admit I really struggled to use all of the products together but I pushed on through and here is the first of the three cards I came up with.

  You can nott tell here but its a Large Square Pop Up Z Fold Card and I had been wanting to make one for such a long time. I followed a tutorial by the amazing Amanda Bates at The Craft Spa Blog here is a link if you would like to make one for yourself  http://goo.gl/fXYEmk

                                   

The ladies loved the papers and the butterfly which is always a popular addition to any project. But the thing they especially loved was how deep the embossing is on this card which makes it stand out.

Thank you for visiting me today I really appreciate it. Nic
