Angel Punch Art - inspired by Tracey W

Hello Everyone

 In our team we have a punch art princess. Her name is Tracey Walters - and if you have an old UK catalogue collection, you can see her picture as a hostess!

Well Tracey does amazing punch art of all kinds, and this is based on one of hers. We made it in class and the main parts, (dress and wings), are done with the Gift Bow die.

Other punches are 1 1/4 & 1 3/8" circle punches, word window and scallop oval. The greeting is from White Christmas. The halo is done in Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and we added sequins to her wings and her angel face is drawn on with the fine Project Life marker. I had some giant paper clips, so we made her into a book mark at class.

Thank you Tracey W for the inspiration.

Last Minute Gifts?

Hello Everyone

Any last minute gifts to buy? Why not get a gift card and make some cute wrapping for it?

Today's project is a sweet little gift card holder. You could make it in festive DSP - but I love the sophisticated black and white of Modern Medley.

This is just a piece 8" X 4" folded in half at 4". Adhere down the sides adding a handle if wished.

I decorated with a bow made with the Bigz Gift Bow Die and finished with a Faceted button and white Bakers Twine.

Hope you like today's project

Box in a flash...

Hello Everyone

Just a quick project today. This is an easy gift box, you can stamp on the outside, (as I did with the stars), add a bow and greeting and your box is ready to go.

I stamped the bow with the Festive Flurry stamp set in Smoky Slate and finished with a matching brad made using a Candy Dot.

Something I can fill with treats and give as a quick Christmas gift I think!

Seasonal in September & My Digital Studio

Hello Everyone

This month I will be running some special classes called 'Seasonal in September'. You can see below what we will be making - some large luxury cards, a large gift box, an organiser, and a candle project. The cost of the class is £25, which includes about £15 worth of goodies. If you are in the Hampshire area, contact me if you would like to come and join us!

The class uses some of the stunning goodies from the new Autumn/Winter seasonal catalogue from Stampin' Up! 

I am sharing two boxes I decorated with the two festive DSP packs. They are called Winter Frost and Seasons of Style - so whether you like a modern or traditional Christmas look, we can make you smile! 

Today I am also sharing a project made using My Digital Studio (MDS) - the fabby digital design system just launching in the UK and Europe.

I am a novice with MDS - so be kind to me! This is an 8X8" scrapbook page I made yesterday.

Back on soon with another cute project.
