DECEMBER CLASS PROJECTS

The projects we created in our last

class for the year. 

Our first card used the gorgeous

DSP Season of Cheer and a fussy cut

baby deer from the Home for Christmas

DSP.

The banner was created using the 

Banner Triple punch and stamped with

a sentiment from the Oh What Fun

stamp set.

Our star was die cut using the Stars framelits

and the bottom was embellished with

some of the Home for Christmas Green Enamel Dots.

Our next project  carried through the

same theme by creating a matching

gift bag with the Gift Bag Punch Board.

I wanted both these projects to be
something quick and simple which you could easily create multiples of.

Supplies used to create these projects.

Our last project the girls got to play

with some of the new products

which will be available in the Occasions

Catalogue commencing in January.

I had just received my pre-order and couldn't

wait to try out this gorgeous new

stamp set and matching heart framelits.

This card has used quite a bit of new

product and I will be able to share more

with you once the catalogue goes live

in January.

Don't forget the Christmas Catalogue will

be finishing on the 4th January and

there are a lot of beautiful Christmas

products which are retiring and included

in the End of Year Sale with some

awesome bargains to be had.

Make sure you get all Christmas goodies

before they are all gone.

LAST CLASS FOR THE YEAR

The lovely ladies from my monthly

 Saturday morning classes enjoying

 a little Christmas get together and their

last class for 2015. 

And look at these yummy Christmas cupcakes

baked especially for us by Liz.

A big thank you to everyone who attended

all the various classes/workshops I have

held throughout the year and I look

forward to seeing you all back in 2016.

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year.  Hopefully, you will

have some time over the holidays to be crafty.

Thinking of You at Christmas

It has been an incredibly busy few

months here and I have missed posting

quite a few cards I have created recently.

Today I am sharing with you a card I

created for a special order which I 

really loved the way it turned out.

This one is all gold embossing, gold foil

stars and a bit of bling using one of

my favourite stamp sets Embellished

Ornaments together with the

co-ordinating Delicate Ornament Thinlets 

Dies.

This card was created with a particular 

recipient in mind who likes the 

vintagey/shabby chic look.

The base card is Always Artichoke
and the Very Vanilla layer was
stamped randomly with a now 
retired Christmas Sentiment in Soft Suede 
all over and the edges also sponged
with Soft Suede.

Here are a list of the supplies used:

Christmas Card Buffet

Last day today of our

Christmas Card Buffet.

Thank you to all the ladies who

came along on Wednesday and

today and enjoyed making the

various cards they chose to create.

It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed

this different event.

Keep an eye out for the next one which

will be sometime mid 2016.

We had a choice of 10 cards to create 

and most ladies were able to create at

least 4.  These were the designs.

My designs:

Petronela's Designs:

I can't seem to get the cards to show in good layout.  They look like they are in position on the screen when I preview but when I post they are all over place.  So I'm afraid this is as good as it gets.

Enjoy.

Xmas Pillow Box Class

Projects we created in our Xmas Pillow Box Class.

NOVEMBER STAMP CLUB

How did it get to November already.  

Time is just flying by so fast.

All of a sudden it is time for another

Stamp Club.

Our first card in Stamp Club was this 

gorgeous one layer only card created

very simply with masking and

sponging.

I have seen so many of these beautiful

cards around that I just had to try one for

myself.

I have created these types of cards before

but for a bit more inspiration I 

basically followed the tutorial which I 

found at this Link and was really easy 

to understand.  Thank you to Anns

Stamping and Scrapbook World.

The colours I have used are Night of

Navy and Tempting Turquoise and the

Stamp Set is Happy Scenes.

Our second card was inspired by cards

created by my wonderful team member

and shown on her blog Keep Stamping.

The colours I have used are Tempting

Turquoise and Pear Pizzazz for the

sponging.  The Christmas sentiment is

actually from the Oh' What Fun stamp set

which I have just stamped and cut out

the word Christmas.

Christmas Tags

I love Christmas and I love creating

 little gift tags.

These are so easy to create using

my favourite Home for Christmas DSP

and the Christmas Greetings Thinlets Dies.

October Card Class

Sharing our creations from the

October Card Class.

Our first card was a case from the

Holiday Catalogue using the Holly Jolly 

Greetings Stamp Set and Co-ordinating

Framelits.

This card also used the emboss resist

technique by stamping the snowflake

with versa mark and embossing with

white embossing powder.

Using our Stampin' sponges we then

sponged firstly Soft Sky Ink lightly

all over the piece leaving some white

showing through.  To add the deeper

blue colour we sponge daubered with

Lost Lagoon ink just in the middle of

the snowflakes.

Supplies used:

 Our second card used embossing again

to create the background on the Soft Sky

Layer this time using a clear 

embossing powder.  We have also

embossed with white embossing

powder the holly leaves which have then

been fussy cut and adhered to the

bottom of the window frame.

Supplies used:

Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

No embossing at all in our final card.

This time we created a fun fold card

by partially cutting a circle from our

card so that when it stands open our 

snowmen are standing up.

Specialty Christmas Card in a Box Class

We completed our Specialty Christmas

Card in a Box Class last week and here is

the result.

was a lot of work involved with

stamping, embossing and die cutting

all the different baubles etc.

I definitely think it was worth all the

work involved.

OH, HELLO SANTA

Paper.

OCTOBER STAMP CLUB

Sharing the projects from this month's.

Stamp Club.

This month we focused on the new 

Hearth & Home Thinlets Dies and the

Holly Jolly Greetings Bundle.

Our first project also used the gorgeous Home

for Christmas DSP.  So many possibilities

with this DSP.  Here we have fussy

cut the Christmas Tree to be shown

through the window.

Our second project also used the same

DSP together with the gorgeous Delicate

Ornaments Thinlets Die.  Our sentiment

came from the Holly Jolly Greetings Stamp Set.

September Class Projects

Sharing our class projects completed in this month's classes.

We had fun using new products from the

Holiday Catalogue.

How gorgeous is the new Embellished Ornaments

Stamp Set and co-ordinating framelits.

On this card we used Old Olive to stamp

the Holly Leaves at the top of the card with our

sentiment being stamped in Real Red.

The ornament has been die cut with the

Delicate Ornaments Thinlets Dies.  A solid

ornament in Real Red and the beautiful

Filigree Ornament in Gold Foil which

has been layered over the top.

Our third project was creating a 

co-ordinating gift box with the new 

Square Pillow Box

Thinlets Dies and co-ordinating stamp set.

Again the colours we have used are 

Real Red as well as some of the DSP

 from the Merry Moments Paper Stack.

The sentiment is from the co-ordinating

A Little Something stamp set coloured

with Real Red and Old Olive Markers.

I have just discovered my photo of our 

second project has mysteriously disappeared. 

Not sure if the computer has gobbled it up

or if it was something I managed to do all 

by myself, so I will be back to share this 

card with you soon.

Hearth & Home Thinlets Die

Loving the new Hearth & Home Thinlets

Dies in the new Holiday Catalogue.

This card was inspired by the many beautiful

cards I have seen on the Internet recently.

The scene viewed from the window is

created with the Happy Scenes Stamp Set.

I also added the cat image which comes from 

the Festive Fireplace Stamp Set.
