Tower Ramparts Event



A big thank you to everyone who came along to the Stampin' Up! event at Tower Ramparts on Saturday.   


This was the first event held at the centre for both adults and children and it was a BIG success!!


Visitors young and old came along to make their own FREE Mother's Day cards at the Stampin' Up! workshop.


Everyone had great fun making cards in a range of
stunning spring colours. 



Individually decorated with flowers, butterflies and
Mother's Day sentiments.


As well as the card making session there was a wonderful range of handmade gifts on sale. 


All perfectly matching the Mother's Day cards, thanks to the fabulous range of coordinating products from Stampin' Up!.


It was lovely to see so many people enjoying what they created.


Proudly showing off their finished projects.


And finally a big thank you to Michelle who helped us manage the event.  She done an amazing job and even found time to do a little creating of her own!!



So many people came along that we didn't get time to take pictures of you all but I hope your mum's will be very happy with the lovely handmade cards they receive.

Hope to see you all again soon.

Oh baby!

After months of not making a baby card I get to make 3 in as many weeks!!  The card I am sharing with you today is for a little baby boy and uses the gorgeous Nursery Sweet designer papers. 



These papers are so versatile - great for ladies, men, babies, Easter, cards, scrapbooking and so much more!!  The sentiments are from the Occasional Quote and Tiny Tags stamp sets. 

I can't make a card these days without some kind of bling!  This one has been finished off with a couple of the super shiny rhinestones and whisper white organza ribbon.

Thanks for looking.

Mother's Day Class

Hope you are all well and having a lovely weekend.

Today I am sharing some of the projects created at my last evening class.  Each of the 12 lovely ladies made a mini scrapbook and matching card for either their mum or friend. 



The album was made from two sheets of A4 Baja Breeze cardstock which were attached using two Stampin' Up! jumbo Pewter eyelets.



The pages were decorated using the Elegant Soiree designer papers.  The pictures really don't these papers justice!  They are stunning especially when matched with Baja Breeze cardstock.



Each Very Vanilla layer was matted onto Soft Suede cardstock which perfectly complements the Elegant Soiree papers.  The greatest thing about Stampin' Up! is how easy it makes coordinating your projects.  There are over 40 colours which are available in matching cardstock, ink, markers, patterned papers and other accessories including ribbon, brads and buttons!


For this class the ladies used paper daisies, punched boho flowers, rhinestones and pearls to add the final flourish to each page. Everyone loved decorating their books in their own style and I really wish that I had taken my camera because there were some stunning designs!!


They also made a card to match their book in either a Mother's Day or general design.  Each was decorated using some 'bling' and taffeta ribbon.


All the class projects were made using the limited edition SALE.A.BRATION sets which are now retired.  I am so going to miss using these!!

The next class is on Wednesday 23rd March at St Johns Church in Ipswich.  The class costs £10 and must be booked in advance so please let me know if you would like to come along.
