Good morning,

Today I am going to show you the cards that my eldest daughter and grandson  gave hubby for his birthday.  Unfortunately she came to collect her cards before I had chance to make new ones so she chose one from a class that I had done and another from a training session I went to.

This is the one my daughter gave to her dad;-

I've used the largest stamp from lovely as a tree set then cut it into 3.  I have then mounted the picture onto cherry cobbler and crumb cake.  I have heat embossed the sentiment onto Night of Navy cardstock using versamark ink and gold embossimg powder.

The one that Leo gave to his granded was made at one of Jules training sessions and just perfect as his grandad has always wanted to fly in a hot air balloon:-

The base card is Soft Suede and I believe the blue card is Pool Party which was embossed using the perfect  polka dot embossing folder.  The basket of the ballon was made using the Cupcake punch and then embossed with the Square lattice embossing folder.  A piece of real red card was stamped using the dot dot dot stamp and soft suede ink and then cut out using the oval and round punch.  The clouds we made using the round scallop punch.  The sentiment is from Create a Cupcake stamp set onto Whisper White card and punched out with the word window and Modern Label punch.

My sister has wanted this stamp set for ages and has just purchased this set and also used it to create Deans birthday cards to he got 3 from the same set.  Here are the cards my sister created, I think they are just lovely.

 

Remember you can only get the items from the Spring Mini until the end of April as we never know what is going to be carried over to the new catalogue in October!!

Tomorrow will be the final card for hubby that I made for my youngest to give to her dad.  Until then take care and happy crafting

Lovely as a tree class

Hello everyone,

My what a hectic weeks its been.  Not only have we been baby sitting our gorgeous grandson but have been running his mummy everywhere to find a new car.  She has finally got one so is mobile again.  We also did a major clean on the house, I ran my class yesterday and then organised a BBQ to celebrate our anniversary.  It was a great turnout and, for the first time in years, all of hubbys family were together in one place.  Over the next few weeks I have to make 30ish swaps for training thats next Saturday, a wedding card, design my scrapbook class and other bits and bobs so quite a busy time ahead.  Oh and did I mention I have to work full time as well...lol

At my class yesterday I used the stamp set Lovely as a Tree.  We made a box that holds 4 tea tree lights and 6 cards.  The measurements for the box were kindly given to me by Victoria, thank you.   This is what we made:

The image on the cherry cobbler scallop card doesn't show up too well but it was the largest image in the set stamped in Night of Navy.   The colour scheme was cherry cobbler, night of navy, river rock and whisper white.  All the ladies loved the class and we had a blast as usual.  One of my ladies even brought home made cakes for us all and has specially baked extra for my BBQ... how sweet (excuse the pun) was that!

If you would like to order anything or book in for a class please visit the pages at the top of my blog for details of how to contact me.

Thank you for stopping by

Christmas in July

Hello everyone,

Today was my craft class and I've just had the most fabulous session for a long time.  As well as my usual ladies I had two new ladies join us and it was lovely to meet them.  Neither had made cards before so didn't quite know what to expect but both throughly enjoyed what we did, so much so they have booked in on the next one in August :)

Anyway, as the title suggests this months theme was Christmas and we were using the Welcome Christmas set.  We made a gorgeous bag and 6 cards.  The instructions for the bag were actually from another SU demo, Angie, and I would like to thank her for allowing me to use them in my class. Pop over to her blog and see some of the gorgeous creations she makes.

A lot of products and tools were used in the making of this set. The colour theme was Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Whisper White. You can't see it in the picture but the trees and ground had Dazzling Diamond glitter on them and there was some on the fathers chrismas hat and bobble.   Needless to say everyone went home covered in glitter.....lol

Thank you again for a lovely morning ladies

Good morning

Typical isn't it, you have the chance to have a lie in and you still wake up at your normal time...lol  Mind you, on the positive side it gives you more time to do things.  Today I'm off out shopping with my mum, sister and heavily pregnant daughter, who I hope behaves herself!!!  However, before I go I thought I'd pop on and post another of the male cards I've made for brother in law.

This time I've used the stamp set Lovely as a Tree and I am pleased with the end result.

The colour combination is Garden Green, More Mustard and Chocolate Chip.  The ribbon is SU chocolate chip but unfortunately this is now retired.

Right I'm off to do a littel crafting before I go out so have a good day everyone and I'll be back soon.

Hugs
