In this month's classes we had a lot of

fun trying out the new Blends

Stamp Set.  This is a fabulous set not

only for Christmas cards, but also very

versatile for many other occasions.

Alcohol markers.

or maybe 2 who would 

appreciate this card.

  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.

very popular Eclipse cards.

 Champagne Foil Sheets.

Stamp Set - Night in Bethlehem

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.

MARCH STAMP CLUB

Sharing the projects we created in this month's Stamp Club.

Our first card was created using the High Tide stamp set.

Colours used are Night of Navy, Smoky Slate, Sahara Sand, Always Artichoke, Pool Party and Marina Mist.

The sentiment is from the FREE SALE-A-BRATION set Avant Garden.

Our second card was created with three different stamp sets - Dragonfly Dreams, Avant Garden and Suite Sentiments.

The colours used here are Island Indigo,Smoky Slate, Pear Pizzazz and I have added a little Pumpkin Pie to the wings of the dragonfly with my watercolour pencil.

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.
