Beautifull Wings & Beyond the Garden DSP

Good Morning All

Hope you're all well, had a good weekend and start to the week.  It's a very wet day outside here in Shropshire today and I'm pretty sure I see some sleet coming down with that rain - must be seeing things, it's May for goodness sake!

Anyway, onto Saturday's class projects which in fact had NOT STAMPING!  Yes that's true, Stampin' Up! have loads of gorgeous products other than stamps and we used the Beautifull wings embosslit die and the gorgeous Beyond the garden DSP and a few "fancy folds" to compliment such beautifull products.

We did a card and gift box set, these always go down a treat as it's so lovely to give a matching card and gift.

60th Birthday Card

Good Morning All

Hope you're all well and looking forward to the bank holiday weekend.  I know I am.  A few days of rest and relaxation is always good.

I've made a card for a lovely lady who turns 60 today, very pretty if I do say so myself so thought I'd show it off.  Hope she likes it.

Simply Scored Scoring Tool

Morning All

Some very exciting news is that Stampin' Up! has released a score board! Yipeee! This is a wonderfull tool, the main base board is imperial BUT there is a metric scoring plate that can be bought to go on top. How fab is that for us crafters who alternate between the two on a very regular basis...............and the price, well it's simply amazing.

Happy Stamping and Creating

Paper weaving, spice cake and Vintage...........

Morning All

What a soggy old day outside in Shropshire UK today!  It's said that we're in drought but our garden is rather squiggy at present.  Oh well, we do need the rain.

Yesterday's class was fab, everyone had a great time, well............they did really after I'd managed to keep them quiet for a while with some paper weaving as they had to concentrate!  I'd never heard the class that quiet before.  Something different to try and the result is gorgeous.

We also did a vintage card, using some of the gorgeous SU vintage inspired products.

Take a peek and let me know what you think.

All a flutter, with punches & Medallion Stamp

Good Evening All

Hope you're all well.  What a gorgeous day it's been today, yes there have been some showers and a little wind about but we've had a fantastic day here in Shifnal today, not least because we had a fab class this morning which was greatly enjoyed by one and all.

For our first card, all a flutter with punches we used 3 different punches to create the shapes and two embossing folders for the patterns along with the stampin' pastels.  Very pretty end result.

Our second card was done using acetate and the medallion stamp.  Now we've never used acetate in class before so some found it a bit of a challenge and are not sure that they'll want to use it again but that's what coming to class is all about - learning new things and "stepping out of the box".

Hope you enjoy looking at our cards as much as we all enjoyed making them:

Stamp set's used: All A Flutter & Tiny Tags
Punches used: 1-3/4" Scallop Circle, 1" Circle & 1/2" Circle
Embossing Folders: Vintage Wallpaper & Square Lattice

Stamp set's used: Curly Cute and Medallion Stamp
Brad's used: Antique & Mini brads

Good Afternoon All

Hope you're enjoying the April showers if you're in the UK.  Goodness, we sure are having 4 seasons in one day at present.

I thought I'd show you a pretty little card that I've recently made, the sentiment is certainly true when I'm crafting away in my little room - I do indeed "treat myself like my own best company".  A bit of card and ink and I'm one happy lady!
