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.

Sale-a-Bration

I had a lovely group of ladies come along to my Sale.a.bration themed class last night.  We made three cards and a mini brag book using the four sale.a.bration sets, Bliss, Sweet Summer, So Happy for You and Punch Bunch. Each of the colour combos were based on the Stampin' Up! in colour range.

The first is made using the Sweet Summer set. I used Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride and Whisper White to make a card using the striped DSP from the in colour Designer Paper Stack.  These packs are great value and perfect to cut down for cards or as 12x12 sheets for scrapbooking.

The second card is all Concord Crush, which is by far my favourite in colour!  A small strip of whisper white was randomly stamped using the flower stamp from Sweet Summer, then layered with a strip of DSP.  The stamped 'For You' image is from the Punch Bunch set.  (The Happy Birthday stamp from this set also works well on this card)

The sentiment was also stamped in Concord crush and I added a little bling by dotting the i's with the gorgeous Jewel Rhinestones.

The mini brag book was simply made by folding a strip of the Peach Parfait DSP and adding two small squares of Pear Pizzazz cardstock as a cover.  The front cover is decorated using the 'Welcome Baby' stamp from the Punch Bunch set, which coordinates with the small tag punch.

The final card is made using a Baja Breeze card base which is stamped using the motif from the Bliss set.  Blushing Bride DSP and a splash of Espresso works perfectly with the butterflies and pearls to decorate this card.

The in colour set is great value for money and gives you all 5 ink pads plus 20 sheets of matching cardstock. Add the in colour designer paper stack and a packets of pearls or jewels for £48.95 (inc P+P) and you can choose a FREE sale.a.bration stamp set!! Contact me for more details or if you would like to place an order.
