OCTOBER CARD CLASS

In this month's classes we had a lot of
fun trying out the new Blends
Alcohol markers.

coloured with the Alcohol Markers.

Razzleberry and Old Olive.

Stamp Set - Graceful Garden
Ink Pads - Memento Black, Pear Pizzazz

Our second card we used the Half Full
Stamp Set.  This is a fabulous set not
only for Christmas cards, but also very
versatile for many other occasions.

Again we have coloured with the
Alcohol markers.

I'm sure we all have that one friend 
or maybe 2 who would 
appreciate this card.


Supplies used:

Cardstock - Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
DSP - Merry Little Christmas
Stamp Set - Half Full
Ink Pads - Memento Black

  It makes creating stunning cards
 very simple.

It is a two step stamp set which is
how you are able to get the
different coloured and patterned
candles.

This card was inspired by a number
of different cards I saw whilst checking
out Pinterest.

HOSTESS STAMP SET - MERRY PATTERNS

Wow, I love this Stamp Set.


The Limited Edition Hostess Stamp 
Set Merry Patterns creates these beautiful
 images quickly and easily.  


In these projects I have stamped the
outline image in black Memento ink and
then stamp the inside image in a
different colour.

I even found that it was very easy to line 
up the images.

The colours I have used for these projects 
are Cherry Cobbler and the retired 
Cucumber Crush (actually thought
I had Garden Green when I started stamping).

These are the Mini Pizza Boxes, which I 
didn't stamp directly onto the boxes, 
but rather on a piece of Whisper White
 Cardstock and then attached to the top
 of the box.


Inside our little Mini Pizza Boxes are
a set of 5 (3" x 3") Gift Cards.


This stamp set is a limited edition set only
available to hostesses with a workshop
total of $450. 

 If you think this set is beautiful and 
would like to earn one of these beautiful sets, please don't hesitate to contact
me today to arrange a workshop for
October.  This promotion finishes at the
end of October.

TEA and BIKKIES GIFT BAGS



 I am getting ready for a Craft Fair in
November and I came across these cute
little gift ideas (on Pinterest of course)
from Laura's Creative Moments.

Of course, I had to try them.

I created these ones to hold 2 Twinings Teabags,
2 sugars and a couple of treats.

The DSP I have used is Painted Autumn,
Foil Frenzy Specialty DSP and Naturally Eclectic.

The Teapot and Teacup are retired dies 
and the sentiments are from the Balloon Celebration Stamp Set.

These are Laura's original creations.  Just so cute.

SPECIAL ORDER FOR A 16TH BIRTHDAY CARD


Today I would like to share with you
my first attempt at the currently very
popular Twist and Pop Card.

My instructions were to create
a very special card for a 16th Birthday.

I had a lot of fun creating this card and
decided to use the gorgeous Beautiful You
Stamp Set.

For the base card I followed a tutorial
I found on Pinterest (of course) from
Bloglovin which I found to be very
easy to follow.

APRIL STAMP CLUB


Our two projects for this month's Stamp Club.

The first project was cased from the
Occasions Catalogue and used the very cute
Window Shopping Bundle as a card
rather than the traditional box.

I decided to create my own pattern to
show through the die cut area by
water colouring (using the Aqua
Painters) randomly with Emerald
Envy and Watermelon Wonder inks.




Our second project was also cased from
the Occasions Catalogue with a change
of colour and a couple of small additions.

This time we used the Special Reason 
Bundle.  I love the fact that
you can choose to either die cut
your flower as shown on the white
cardstock or completely cut out a
flower using the two dies as shown by
the red flower.

I think this makes this set extremely
versatile.

NEW HOME, NEW CRAFT ROOM



Very excited to say that we have moved house and finally my craft room is all set up and ready for classes and workshops.

Actually, my new craft room doesn't look a lot different to my old one as we were able to bring along all the cupboards etc that we had installed at our old home and set up here.

It is a little smaller (I say cosier) but I am loving it.

I was also able to have a bit of a clean out during our move (which was not fun) so I have more storage space for the essentials.
