Florals……….

Good Afternoon,

I have a couple of cards to share with you today from a class I ran in March.  Needless to say, I am a little behind with my blogging!

The first is a bright, simply layout. 

  

I love all of the designer papers, but so often never get round to using them, so in this class I tried to fit quite a few in. 

The single stamp, Beautiful Birthday, is one of my favourites and I will be sad to see it go at the end of this month.

The next card has a softer feel to it.  The stamp set is Field Flowers which is just gorgeous.  The flower heads have been cut out and popped up with Dimensionals.

The DSP used for the background layer is Twitterpated.

It's now less than two weeks until the NEW 2013/2014 catalogue is released, which means it's also less than two weeks until the retiring items will be gone!!!!!

Contact me to reserve your copy of the new catalogue, and to place your retiring items order.

Oh, Hello............

Hi all,

I have made a real effort to do some blog posts as I am soooooo behind with them and have a mountain of projects building up on my desk and about to topple over!!!!

Hopefully this will be the first of many scheduled posts in the month of June as we lead up to the final days of the 2012/2013 catalogue and look forward to the new release on 2nd July!!!!  

I'm so excited about it, and really hope to have some fab sneak peek projects to show you in the coming weeks as well, so watch this space............

Today's card is just a quick one using the Oh Hello stamp set and Oval Framelits from the Spring/Summer Seasonal Catalogue

The background card is Primrose Petals Core'dinations card.  It was embossed using the gorgeous Honeycomb Embossing Folder and then sanded back to reveal the "core" of the card...........  such a lovely effect.

The flower image from Oh Hello was inked up using the Marker Pens, in Primrose Petals and Lucky Limeade.

I told you it was a quick one :o)

I'll be back soon with some more projects to share with you.

Last two cards from February class

Hello there,

A little later than I hoped, but here are the last two cards we made at class in February. 

Both were made using new products from the Spring/Summer Seasonal Catalogue which runs alongside the Main Catalogue until 30 June.

This first one uses a new stamp set called Collage Curios, which includes lots of little images that you can punch out and fit perfectly inside the larger of two sizes of soda tops (another new product).........  they are really sweet and add a new dimension to cards.  On this one we have actually run the soda top through the big shot to squash it down.

Tea for Two DSP has been cut out using the new Hearts a Flutter Framelits.  There is also a matching stamp set which is very cute!

The background is a gorgeous new embossing folder called Cloudy Day.

The card was finished off with bakers twine to string the banner together and then a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes punched out with the Word Window Punch.

This final card was made using the Oh, Hello stamp set and Oval Framelits.......... also, my favourite products, the new Honeycomb Embossing Folder :o)

The colours were Primrose Petals, So Saffron, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White.  The leaves were made using the Little Leaves Sizzlit and the butterflies were made using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and finished off with some Basic Rhinestones.

If you would like to have a fun morning making some cards and meeting other crafty people, then why not book onto an upcoming class!
