The designer paper used on the bottom of the card is from the retiring Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper. Don’t forget this gorgeous paper is only available to order until 30th September.

I hope you had a lovely birthday Maria and I can’t wait until we next meet up!

FREE Idea Book and Catalogue + No P&P to Pay!

As time is running out to order some of our much loved products I thought I would share a few projects using retiring items from the current catalogue.

The first uses the retiring stamp set Hello Again which is still available to order for £10.95.  The flowers were stamped and then decorated with designer buttons and Rhinestones.  The vase was made using the Ornament Punch which was trimmed and embossed using the Elegant Bouquet folder.

The second is a male birthday card which uses the retiring Hodgepodge Silver Hardware.  This is a gorgeous set of assorted holders and brads which look amazing on cards, scrapbook pages and gift boxes.

In addition to the discounted offers from Stampin' Up! I am offering all my customers FREE postage and packaging and a FREE 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalogue (worth £5.95 rrp) with all orders of £30 or more.  This is a special offer from me and is available of all orders placed before 17:00 on 30th September.

Creative Day at Tower Ramparts

Wow what an amazing time we had at Tower Ramparts yesterday!!  We have done a few of these events now but this was the biggest and best by far!  Not only did we have our usual children’s event but also mini craft classes for adults AND a Creative Fayre in the centre.

The adults make and take session went down so well.  A big hello to all the lovely people who came in to create with us and thank you for all the lovely comments on our display.

Nina did a great job showing the children how to make a treat pouch which they stamped and decorated.

 The children were so proud of what they made and the free sweets went down well too!

The Creative Fayre had stalls selling a range of items including yummy cupcakes, lovely handmade soaps and pretty embroidered items.  We also had a Stampin' Up! stall run by the lovely Chrissie and Tina selling handmade gifts and cards.

The next Creative event and Fayre will be in Saturday 29th October.  Hope to see you there!

Crafternoon Tea

I spent yesterday with 15 lovely ladies at my first Crafternoon Tea! We had a busy afternoon crafting, chatting and munching on scones and clotted cream. What more could you ask for!

I did work the ladies very hard and gave them lots to do! Each of them made this pretty gift box decorated with the Elegant Soiree papers.

They also made four cards in the same colour scheme (Baja Breeze, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake) to fit inside the box. Using the Flight of a Butterfly stamp set with the matching Butterfly Punch.

I really must remember to hand my camera over to someone else as I always forget to take a picture of the food before everyone tucks in!

No event would be complete without a prize draw!  We had a whole range of prizes including stamps, ink pads, designer paper packs and ribbon.

And what better way than everyone is a winner!!

A big thank you to everyone who came along, it was lovely to see so many of you again and some new faces too!

More Christmas in July

I'm back today to share with you some more projects from our Christmas in July event.  As I mentioned yesterday I was asked by Monica to do one of the demo booths during this training session.  I decided to go with the theme of 'Christmas Candy' and make lots of lovely gifts using sweets, chocolate and cookies (what a chore hey! lol)

The first project is a cute little Advent Calendar created using sweet treat pouches filled with chocolate snowmen.

The pouches were made from a 3x3 piece of DSP from the Christmas Jingle Scrappin' Kit and decorated using the little stamps from Delightful Decorations set.  The heading has been cut using the Medium Sizzlits Die and embossed with the Perfect Polka Dot folder

These next projects would be perfect for little stocking fillers.   

 

 The little treat boxes are made using the exclusive Scallop Envelope Bigz Die and have been decorated with the self-adhesive die cuts from the Scrappin' Kit.

 Chocolate bars wrapped in DSP and satin ribbon and then individual decorated and 'blinged up!'

  

 These little boxes hold three chocolates and are Christmas variation on the Butterfly Boxes I made for my Mother's Day event.  The original idea came from my wonderful team mate Maria over at Goldcats Stamping Heaven 

 

The sweet pouches are a larger version of what I used for the advent calendar but this time have been made using the Jolly Holiday DSP and decorated with the baubles from the Delightful Decorations set.

 

How cute are these little Christmas pudding cards???  I made the puddings using the circle and scallop punches and decorated with Little Leaves and Real Red berries.  They fit perfectly on a little mint chocolate.  The cards were finished with a little sentiment from Tiny Tags and of course, a touch of bling!

The final project I am going to share are these festive decorated jars (the large one was filled with cookies until me and my downline had a catch up last week!! lol)

The flowers were made from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and decorated with Basic Pearls.  The sentiment on the jars is from the Occasional Quotes hostess set and has been embossed in gold and silver.

I have to say a big thank you to everyone at the event for all the lovely comments and message about my display.  I hope some of these projects have inspired you and got you in the festive mood! 

Pop back next week to find out more about my new Christmas Club!!
