More Recycling

 

More recycling of brown paper today - this time using the fabulous Spiral Flower die. I sponged the edges of the flower with some Melon Mambo ink and added some Smoky Slate chevron ribbon, an antique brad and a stamp from the Postage Due set. I hope you like it!

 

Recycling

Full of a rubbishy old head cold today, so have recycled some SU brown paper packaging to wrap dear husband's birthday present. I made the box yesterday, so that had a bit of effort put into it. Today's gift wrapping and tag has been a lot more slapdash, using a lovely retired stamp, the current Petite Petals and just some of the acres of brown paper packaging I have acquired with my orders. I really don't think he will mind!

Mini Memories Workshop

 

Join us for a fabulous workshop on Thursday, 10th April at 7pm where we will be proudly displaying those photos that have stayed on your memory card for too long! All you need to bring is a small pile of photos (and glue!) and I will provide you with the Stampin' Up Mini Memories Simply Created Album Kit. I will also have a completed album to inspire you and plenty of stamp sets, punches and dies to help you embellish your gorgeous album.

The workshop costs £15, including £12.50 of Stampin' Up products. No crafting experience is required!

Please bring your own adhesive. You will need a strong glue and may wish to use dimensionals. Please let me know when you book your place on the workshop if you would like to pre-order adhesive. Multi-purpose liquid glue is £3.25. Stampin' Dimensionals (300) also cost £3.25. Snail Adhesive is also available at a cost of £5.50 (refills are £3.75).

Please contact me for any further information and for venue directions. Hope you can join us!

Fresh Prints

 

I had a lovely evening at the Fresh Prints workshop on Thursday. I had such a nice time, I completely forgot to take any photos! Here is one of the cards we made though. It features the very cute alligator from the See Ya Later Sale-a-bration stamps which won't be around for much longer! This great set of stamps is available until the 31st March with orders of £45. Please let me know if you want to place an order. We added a couple of banners made from Fresh Prints dsp and a Gingham Garden washi tape bow.

 We also made this box envelope for the Spiral Flower cards, using the Envelope Punch Board. It combines In-Colour dsp with a Flower Shop stamp. Such a nice evening with great company. I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Join us for a relaxing workshop on Thursday, 20th March at 7pm. We are at a different venue from the usual one, so please message me for details.

There will also be the opportunity for you to see examples of cards made from Sale-a-bration papers and stamps. For every order of £45, you can select a free, exclusive item from the fabulous Sale-a-bration catalogue.

This card uses the gorgeous Spiral Flower die. It is also my entry for NAC #79. I hope you like it!

Perfect Pennants

 

Here is a Make and Take we are creating at a party this week. The card on the left is one I made at Monica's training day. Both combine Perfect Pennants with the Sale-a-bration set, Banner Blast. A lovely way of combining all the In-Colours too! I'm really looking forward to this Stampin' Up party, but will have to avoid the nibbles...

Pink & Black

 

I love this colour combination! This is my entry for NAC#76 which is a colour challenge this week - Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla and Basic Black. I have used one of the stamps from Flower Shop and the sentiment is from Regarding Dahlias. I hope you have had a lovely weekend - April x
