Fancy Flower punch, card in a box

Good Afternoon All

Hope  you're all well and enjoying your weekends so far.

Today's class was a card in a box.  Yip, we used the fancy flower punch and for that it's really nice if you're able to give your card away in a box made specifically for it to showcase the raised flower. Everyone really enjoyed making this card and each had their own specific use for it, one a birthday, one a wedding and yet another just for someone special.  This made each card individual in the end, as the sentiment and placement of parts were all different.

Take a peak and let me know what you think:

Punches Used: Fancy Flower, Word Window, Modern Label, Bird Builder (for leaves)
Embossing Folders Used: Perfect Polka Dots, Vintage Wallpaper
Scoring Tool Used: Simply Scored with Metric Scoring Plate

Anniversary card and something a little British!

Good Afternoon All

Well, it's been a busy, busy week - been great but that's meant that I've not had the time to post last week's class makes till today!

We did two cards the first was an anniversary card, by request.  I'm always up for doing something that any of my class members want to do.  Makes it more interesting for me to see if I can come up with something suitable.

Our second card was something a little British and more suited for the weekend just coming up.  The Queen's Diamon Jubilee weekend and boy is it going to be a good weekend, there is lots of Great British Spirit in our area with bunting and flags on many of the houses and pubs.

Take a look and let me know what you think:

Wheel used: Sandy Speckles
Punches used: Extra Large Bird, Modern Label
Embossing folder: Perfect Polka Dots
Other: from my stash

SU Die used: Top Note

Beautifull Wings & Beyond the Garden DSP

Good Morning All

Hope you're all well, had a good weekend and start to the week.  It's a very wet day outside here in Shropshire today and I'm pretty sure I see some sleet coming down with that rain - must be seeing things, it's May for goodness sake!

Anyway, onto Saturday's class projects which in fact had NOT STAMPING!  Yes that's true, Stampin' Up! have loads of gorgeous products other than stamps and we used the Beautifull wings embosslit die and the gorgeous Beyond the garden DSP and a few "fancy folds" to compliment such beautifull products.

We did a card and gift box set, these always go down a treat as it's so lovely to give a matching card and gift.

Embosslits Die Used: Beautifull Wings

Simply Scored Scoring Tool

Morning All

Some very exciting news is that Stampin' Up! has released a score board! Yipeee! This is a wonderfull tool, the main base board is imperial BUT there is a metric scoring plate that can be bought to go on top. How fab is that for us crafters who alternate between the two on a very regular basis...............and the price, well it's simply amazing.

Happy Stamping and Creating

Paper weaving, spice cake and Vintage...........

Morning All

What a soggy old day outside in Shropshire UK today!  It's said that we're in drought but our garden is rather squiggy at present.  Oh well, we do need the rain.

Yesterday's class was fab, everyone had a great time, well............they did really after I'd managed to keep them quiet for a while with some paper weaving as they had to concentrate!  I'd never heard the class that quiet before.  Something different to try and the result is gorgeous.

We also did a vintage card, using some of the gorgeous SU vintage inspired products.

Take a peek and let me know what you think.
