Card Class Projects

 

My recent Cards and Coffee morning went very well.  The girls all had a lot of fun making their projects.  They got to make 3 cards in total which was just right for their 2 hours together.

First up is this pretty little card using the Create a Cupcake stamp set and Cupcake Builder punch.

And because I just love Sale-a-Bration (SAB), our next card features the fabulous Sycamore Street Designer Series papers.  The sentiments come from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set so everyone got to choose their own greeting.

 

Lastly we have this gorgeous collage stamped card using some of the elements from the Clockworks stamp set.  The greeting is from another SAB gift Pretty Petites stamp set and the matching Petite Curly Label punch.

It was great to see the girls making these into family birthday, thank you or Mother’s Day cards. 

Well today I am planning and making the samples for my next Cards and Coffee morning next Wednesday 13th March.

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

I’ve been busy…

 

I have indeed, very busy playing with all my Saleabration goodies that I received free with my last order.

I am really loving the Sycamore Street Designer Series Papers.  Who says that 12x12 papers is only for scrapbooking?  It makes such fantastic backing paper or elements for cards and other protects too.  Did you see the Card Keeper box I made a few posts back?  Like I said the papers are great for every thing.

Well today I have some more cards for you that I made using the Sycamore Street papers.

My first one shows the hidden paper behind the matting by punching out the flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch.  i love the Hello greeting from the My Friend stamp set.  I made the bow across the middles of the card using strips of the papers.

I love the Petite Banners builder punch that I used for the next card.  It creates a nice design across the middle of the next card.  I used the dotted edge stamp from the Pennant Parade set to stamp an edge on the Sycamore Street papers before I punched them out.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these cards today. Come back soon

Until next time, happy crafting.

 

Bloomin’ Marvellous!

 

I just love this set from our Sale-a-bration.  I just knew when I saw it that I needed to make a bunch of Bloomin’ flowers!

I decided to keep the colours very muted using Very Vanilla, Certainly Celery, So Saffron with a base of Crumb Cake.  I used Early Espresso Ink for the greeting, and punched it out with our rather fab Ticket Duo Builder punch.

I tied the bunch of flowers using So Saffron Taffeta ribbon. And the leaves for the bunch came from the Bird Builder punch. I love that punch as it is so versatile for other things.

A pearl added to each flower gives it some dimension.

I hope you like it.

Until next time, happy crafting.

Thank you for joining the Blog Hop.

 

Hello there, Welcome. Thanks for stopping by.

Quick grab a cuppa and make yourself very comfortable.

Today is the “in Love with Stamping” Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop. There are 20 of us taking part.  That’s 20 fantastic projects all for your enjoyment as you hop from Blog to Blog.

If you have followed from the beginning of the hop you should have reached me from the lovely Margaret's blog.  If you are only starting here, then I shall be letting you know who is next on the list at the end of the post.  Right at the end is everyone who has taken part and a link to their blogs, so you can either go right to the beginning and start or if you get stuck, pop back here to see who is next.

So the theme of the Blog Hop was Sale-a-bration and the new Spring Summer catalogue that was released…..Today!!!!!  How exciting!

So my project for you is a box to store all those fabulous cards in that you make. Plus a couple of cards too.

I’ve used the papers in the Sycamore Street Designer Series Papers from the current Sale-a-Bration catalogue. These are such vibrant colours almost reminiscent of spring.

The box is made from 2 pieces of cardstock so that you get a good depth to the box to store more cards in.  I’m thinking a tutorial might be in order sometime soon.  What do you think?

Each inner tab is labelled up for a different occasion.  Now you could print these then punch them out, but all i did was look through my different stamp sets and picked out a word stamp that would be suitable for the occasion. As you can see this one has Mr & Mrs on it, so I would use this for wedding and anniversary cards.  I used a 1¾” Circle punch for the base of the tab and then the Small Oval for the label.

One of the cards made for the box with the greeting from Itty Bitty banners.

And the last card I used the gorgeous Petite Curly Label Punch from the SAB promotion to punch out the decoration for the card.  The greeting comes from the Create a Cupcake stamp set.  It’s such a lovely font.

I hope you have enjoyed your time here with me today and the projects that I made for you to see.  Well the blog hop doesn’t stop here.  To carry on you can now hop on over to Joanne’s blog for some more wonderful creations. You can get to Joanne's blog here

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

Ooh a new book….

 

How are you today?  Have the recent snow flurries affected you?  If it has i hope it has given you some crafting time if you are not able to get out.

As part of my new year re-organisation I decided to treat myself to a new diary.  I wanted something that looked crafty, but was functional.  I debated about an Organised Mum diary, had a look on the bay, amazon etc.  And then I found it!  I love it, it’s sooooo Stampin’ Up! and yet it’s not even been made by or for them. 

It’s made by Filofax but the design reminded me of the Aviary stamp set in the catalogue.

I can see now that this is a set I am going to now have to add to my stash, I have so many ideas for it!  It’s amazing where you can find inspiration.

I also decided that I also needed a note book.  A while ago hubby brought home some A5 ring bound books.  They have a ton of ruled pages that are just great for making lots of notes in.  But in true crafting style, I needed to pretty it up!

Now I have a fair bit of crafting loveliness in my craft room.  Lots of new exciting stuff to use.  But I decided to reach for some retired papers to cover the book.  You see the one thing that I love with Stampin’ Up!., product is that you can go back to it again and again.  And especially the fact that all the colours match so perfectly, you know that you’ll always have something to match that's current.  So Stampin’ Up!., really doesn’t go out of style!

And I even covered the inside of the cover…

So from plain old boring book to fabulous Everyday Enchantment Notes. These gorgeous Saleabration papers from last year are still looking good today!  Although I am thinking I may just make another in the papers from this years Saleabration set!  Watch this space!

Happy crafting!

Card Class

 

At our recent card class the girls got to make 4 fabulous cards and a matching box.

Now I would like to be able to take credit for the box but alas no, I didn’t design the actual making of the box but I did decorate it   The box was designed by Bekka.  I just love the fact that all it takes is 1 sheet of A4 cardstock and some scoring!  Isn’t it fab?

    

The envelope attached is from the Stampin’ Up! Scallop Envelope Die.

The papers we used are from the current Sale-a-Bration Set, Everyday Enchantment!  These Designer Series Papers are just gorgeous in real life!

The postage stamp is from the Fresh Vintage SAB Stamp Set and was punched out using the Postage Punch.

             

We made 4 cards to go in our boxes…

 

Punched hearts allow you to see the DSP papers behind the Pool Party cardstock mat.  The greeting is from the Curly Cute stamp set…

     

The Pool Party hearts punched from the first card was used on this card.  Some Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon lays behind some of the DSP.

   

Punched flowers add depth and dimension to this simple card.  This is a great card to make and leave without a greeting until such times that you need a card in a hurry and can add a suitable greeting.

   

I really hope you have enjoyed these cards today.  There’ll be another cad class very soon.

Everything you see used here can be either purchased from our catalogues and SAB products can be earnt through placing an order of £45 or more.  Don’t forget for every £45 that you spend you can chose one of the SAB items. email me today to place your order at sassystampers@gmail.com

Take care.

Happy Crafting’!
