Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps

Good Afternoon All

I've finally found a minute to sit down and show you what gorgeous delights can be made using the Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps on page 15 of the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.  Needless to say that it's not just one batch that's been made and devoured in this house but many - I love these and the recipe that comes with them is yummy too.............or so I'm told;-)  Ok, who am I kidding, very yummy cookies!

 

Happy Stamping (and eating)

Greenhouse Garden.....retiring:-(

Good Afternoon All

Hope you've had a fab weekend.  I know that I have and it all started with a lovely craft class yesterday morning where the ladies had lots of fun and laughter whilst doing their projects!

We used one of my favourite stamp set's which is retiring, Greenhouse Garden!  Clearly, since it's one of my favourites I'll still continue to use it but thought that I'd showcase it along with some of the lovely new buttons and ribbon sliders from the NEW Autumn/Winter Catalogue

We made a gift box and slider card, which tested some patience and meant that my class had to listen to me for............oh, at least 10 seconds of the 2 hours.  Give them their due, they did manage to listen for this length of time! Well done ladies your projects were all PERFECT!

Stamp set used: Greenhouse Garden (retiring)

Beyond The Garden

Good Afternoon Bloggers

Hope you're all well and been enjoying the weekend.

We all had a lovely time in class yesterday which did not involve that much stamping to be honest yet we created a beautifull card and gift box set using the gorgeous beyond the garden papers and the beautifull wings embosslit die. We did a little faux stitching, using the mat pack and paper piercing tool to add a little more interest to the card.

Punch used: Modern Label

All About Flowers (Build a blossom & Manhatten Flower)

Good Morning All

Hope you're having a good weekend so far, I'm watching the clouds and living in hope that it's not going to rain today, however this may well be wishfull thinking but will water the flowers.

Yesterday we had a lovely class and it was all about flowers for both cards.  The first of our cards was a "simple" pop up card using the Build a Blossom stamp set and punch.  I say simple but that's because it only had one central pop-up element inside, to deal with instead of a few.  This card did take some time to construct though with all bits used.

For our second card we used the Manhatten Flower embossing folder.  We encorporated dry and heat embossing on this one using the vanilla embossing powder and then painted in the flower which is ever so pretty.

Take a look and let me know what you think.
