Springtime Event!

Sorry For the lack of posts.  After a busy time with events and workshops I gave myself some time off to enjoy all this lovely weather.  Now that things have calmed down I can show you some of the gorgeous projects we have been creating :o)

We had a wonderful group of ladies come along for an all day springtime event!  We spent six lovely hours crafting chatting and eating cake! 

On arrival all of the ladies were given a goodie bag which contained their kits for making 3 projects, a chocolate flower lolly, a vintage hand covered notebook (which they all loved!!) and their free Itty Bitty Stamp set!!

The display was loaded with gorgeous projects including lots of NEW products from the Mini Catalogue.  Some of these were received as swaps from other demonstrators so there were lots of different styles and techniques for the ladies to see.

These gorgeous pillow boxes were made using one of the new Big Shot dies! They look stunning when decorated! These were wrapped in designer paper and then decorated with the Big Shot Flower Daisies and Beautiful Wings.

 

Inside each box was a draw ticket with a guaranteed prize so none of our ladies went home empty handed!! The prizes included lots of goodies from the NEW Mini Catalogue. We had The NEW Seam binding Ribbon, Stamp Sets, Itty Bitty Buttons and the stunning new Glass Glitter!

As you can see everyone was happy with the prizes they got to take home!

Pop back to see the wonderful projects and cards the ladies created.

Mini Catalogue Blog Hop

Hello to everyone who has just joined me from Stampin Becks Craft  Hope you have enjoyed working your round everyone's blogs.

I have two projects to share with you today.  Both using the new Sweet Stitches designer paper, which is part of the Oh Sew Suite coordinating range.  The first is a 4x4 card decorated with a strip of DSP and uses one of Four Frames stamps.

The set is so versatile and comes with a matching Decorative Label Punch.  I have added a sentiment from the tiny tags set but these frames look just as wonderful decorated with a stamped image or a letter from one of the alphabet sets. 

I have inked the stamp in Wild Wasabi, removed the ink from the flowers with a cotton bud and then coloured using my Rose Red ink pad and blender pen. So quick, easy and very affective.

How cute is this mini handbag!!  It is made with the same Sweet Sticthes designer paper but this use a contrasting piece to decorate the top and bottom of the bag. 

These bags can be decorated any way you like but I have finished mine with four Chocolate Chip buttons cut from the Sweet Buttons Embosslits Die.  The die cuts six buttons in a variety of style and the detail is just amazing.  This is one of 18 exclusive dies to Stampin' Up! and prices start at just £4.50!!!
