Winter Frost christmas card

This is one of the cards that we made at my Christmas extravaganza day . We used a pattern page from the Winter Frost DSP stack and we did a little folding . The sentiment and the little snow flakes are from the Warmth and Wonder hostess stamp set .The colours that I used were Smoky Slate , Pool Party and Whisper White .

Mosaic Madness

I thought I would share with you what I have prepared for Monday's classes . I love this bundle as it is so versatile , not only can it make beautiful Christmas cards but it can be used for general occasion also . I will be giving the ladies 2 colour choices - Smoky Slate /Bermuda Bay or Cherry Cobbler/Baked Brown Sugar . Either colour combination looks beautiful . We are also making the beautiful little Christmas ornament which we will be doing at the Make and Takes classes in the kings hall in Belfast. I thought I would let the ladies that come to my classes have the opportunity to make them now .Again these ornaments are being offered in either Smoky Slate / Whisper White or Baked Brown Sugar and Very Vanilla . If you are unable to come to my classes but you would love to make these beautiful little Christmas ornaments then please do make sure that you book a slot for our workshop with the show organizers on the day that you are attending the show .(there will be more colour combinations on offer at the Creative Stitch and Craft show in Belfast ). 

As usual if any of the ladies who attend my classes would like to purchase this bundle , then there will be a further 10% discount on the bundle .(Stampin up offer a 15% discount if you buy the stamp set and co-ordinating punch together and if you buy it at my class you will get a further 10% discount )

Papillion potpourri

 

I made this little card for the ladies in my virtual hostess club this month . The colours of each butterfly are the New In Colours . I love the Coastal Cabana card which I used for the base card. It was a coincidence that stampin up have an offer on this bundle until the end of the month .

Gingham Garden handbags

When I first saw the Gingham Garden designer paper I wanted to make handbags using it as it is quite "Cath Kidson y". I had bought a tutorial from Becky Roberts a couple of years ago and it was perfect for these papers . The ladies all made a handbag with their paper of choice and then we made 4 cards using the gorgeous Kind and Cozy stamp set . Isn't this range just beautiful ?

 

 We even got to use the new Washi tape which is just lovely to use !

Creative Afternoon event

I have had a very busy week so I apologize for not posting these photographs of last Saturday's event sooner, which I co-hosted with Norma Thompson . We had almost 30 ladies joined us that day ,the projects were based using The Embellishments Artisan Kit which they received in their goodie bag . Unfortunately this gorgeous little kit is retiring on the 30th June in the summer mini catalogue .

 The display table !                                     

 

 

 

These are 3 of the projects that the ladies made in the afternoon , a cute little mini album , a card using some of the embellishments and a little handbag . We also made a Pool Party fancy fold but unfortunately I can't put my hands on it at the moment !

 

 

 

 These are some close up photos of the cards that I made for the display table .

 

 

 

 

 

 I had inspiration from Kerry Timms  for these fancy folds . You will definitely see more of these folds as they are so different !                              

 

 

 

 I just loved making these projects , the ribbons are gorgeous and I was amazed at how far I was able to make this kit stretch .
