NEW - Class Rewards

CLASS REWARDS

I have lots of lovely ladies that come to my classes on a regualr basis and I wanted to offer them a little reward............... but this reward is something that anyone new to my classes can also get!

I am doing a reward scheme whereby you get a reward card and for every class you attend you will get a stamp on the card.  After five classes your card will be full and you then get a class for free.

Check out my upcoming classes and book yourself on so you can start getting rewards too!

NEW CATALOGUE BLOG HOP

Good morning one and all..........

The day has finally arrived that the NEW 2013/2014 Stampin' Up! Catalogue is released!!!!!

A group of us have arranged a blog hop so you can get a great taste of what's new from SU this time around.  

You've probably arrived here from Queen Pip who always has something fabulous going on, and today will be no exception!

I have a couple of cards to share with you that I made in preparation for my open house event this past weekend.

This first one uses the Mosaic Madness stamp set and co-ordinating punch (which can be bought as a bundle for 15% discount!), plus the Quatrefancy Speciality DSP.

I've picked colours from the DSP which includes the very lush Strawberry Slush (one of the new In Colours for 2013-2015).  It makes my feel hungry whenever I use it!

The second card is my favourite..............  the new Washi Tape that Stampin' Up has included in this new catalogue is just lovely.  It really can be used to make a card in a matter of minutes!

 

The stamped images come from a new set called Happy Day, which contains lots of lovely word images plus the swirl I have used on this card and also a doily type image.

I think the hardest part of this card was using the Stamp-a-ma-jig to line things up as it was at at angle.

If you would like to get your hands on a copy of the new catalogue, then email or call me and I can either drop one off or pop it in the post.  Also, if you simply have to get your hands on some of the new products right away, then contact me to order as I shall be placing orders frequently over the coming days and weeks.

Quick Cards Class

Hi there,

I'm back with some cards we made at one of my new Friday classes - Quick Cards and a Cuppa - pretty self explanatory really!

Lots of these cards use colours that are retiring, but would be easy to recreate in so many other colour combinations too.

This first card is made using the Clockworks stamp set, which is one I didn't really like when I first saw it, but now LOVE!

Sorry for the dark photos - was a little late in the day when I took these.  The colours are More Mustard (retiring), with Sahara Sand, Early Espresso and Pool Party.   

The centre of the watch was stamped on a scrap piece of Whisper White and punched out so we could pop it up.

 

I love banner cards and used a combination of Lucky Limeade (not so lucky as it's retiring!), Perfect Plum and Sahara Sand.

The DSP along the bottom of the card was prettied up using one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits with the Big Shot.

 

Who doesn't love butterflies on cards..........  We used the Spritzer Tool (another retiree) for the background, and also Comfort Cafe DSP for the sideways banners.  

 

 

 

This last card is my favourite of the set.  I am so sad to see this Beautiful Birthday stamp going.  Thankfully the Secret Garden set is staying, along with the co-ordinating Framelit Dies.........  The banner strip on this card has been embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

 

My recent love of Red Riding Hood has been used for the base card and the stamped flowers.  We stamped the flower twice and cut out the centre section to pop it up.

 

I am really enjoying running my new Friday classes and have been getting good feedback thus far.  Why not check out my classes page and see what's coming up?

Big Shot Galore!

I'm back with the final three cards from March's class.  

Better late than never I say!

These cards all utilised the Big Shot in one way or another.

The first one is a colour combo of So Saffron and Pool Party which was taken from the Tea for Two DSP.  I love the Honeycomb Embossing Folder :o)

    

I used my Colour Coach for the colour combo of this second card - Perfect Plum, Lucky Limeade and Red Riding Hood. 

I have only just discovered a love for Red Riding Hood and now it's leaving us - so sad.

We used one of the Needlepoint Border Embossing Folders on this card as well as the Secret Garden stamps and co-ordinating framelit dies.

The last card is a gorgeous colour combo of Rose Red and Baja Breeze with some Floral District DSP thrown in for good measure.  

The top portion is embossed with the Fancy Fan folder and Daydream Medaillions and co-ordinating Floral Frames have been used with the Big Shot as well.

I'm trying to get all of my class cards from earlier in the year posted before the end of June when lots of the products I've used won't be available any more.  Still quite a few to go so watch this space!

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.
