Wonderous Wreath Gift Bag

Hello Everyone

Today I am sharing a cute little bag made by one of my lovely Dazzling Dreamers team - Carolyn Page. She made a wreath using the Wonderous Wreath bundle, (that is in the big book not the Autumn Winter), using Old Olive and Cucumber Crush ink - love the zingy colours together.

Her greeting comes from Petite Pairs - I always forget there is a Christmas greeting in there.

And if you love the peg and ribbon - yes they are both in the catalogues. Look below and you can click on the links to see more.

Mixed Bunch Flower Pot

Hello Everyone

I always try to put all my class cards on my blog, but whoops, this one got missed! We actually did it at class almost a year ago. What is clever about this card is seeing how it pops out of the flower pot....

We stamped the flowers with Mixed Buch and punched out with the matching Blossom Punch. The leaves were stamped using the French Foliage stamp set and the greetings come from Petite Pairs.

Hope it was worth the wait.

Aviary Tag Card

Hello Everyone

This is a card I made with the oh-so-sweet Aviary stamp set. This stamp set features little birds and cages. 

For this card I used Pumpkin Pie for the card base, I cut a tag with the Two Tags die in Riding Hood Red and cut a strip of cardstock in Sahara Sand.

The Sahara Sand strip is stamped with the leaves image from the Confetti background set. I used Crumb Cake ink. The greeting comes from Petite Pairs.

How cute are those little birds on the envelope? Hope you like it.

Faux Tearing Technique

Hello Everyone

Today I am sharing a card we made at class at the end of last year. It is a technique I taught at my first ever class three years before, so I thought it was time to revisit it!

We used the faux tearing technique to create this card.

To do this we tore a piece of copy paper in half and folded the edges around the back of the Whisper White cardstock, securing it at the back with snail. (I prefer this to using temporary adhesive on the front, because it is so easy to mark the front by mistake).

Holding the torn paper down, we used Stampin' Sponges to sponge over the revealed strip of cardstock. The images were also stamped before removing the paper mask.

We stamped images from Nature Walk using Early Espresso ink. The sponging is done with Crumb Cake ink and the greeting comes from Petite Pairs.

We finished the card with Bakers Twine in Lucky Limeade.

Dazzling up Christmas

Hello Everyone

We are getting festive today with some Christmas Tags made from the Scentsational Season stamp set. I have really enjoyed using these stamps, especially as they have the matching Holiday Collection Framelit dies to cut them out.

If you buy these stamps and framelits together, the bundle costs 15% less that buying them separately - what a great deal!

Here is a close up of the tree...do you see the little silver baubles I have created? They are so easy to do with the Dazzling Details Silver Sparkle. It is like having the dense shine of Dazzling Diamonds in a glue with a super-fine tip that makes bringing sparkle to your projects simple.

The Dazzling Details is a bargain at only £2.25 and is going to be bringing bling and sparkle to lots of my Christmas projects.

Season of Joy & Core'dinations Revealed

Hello Everyone

Well how am I going to design Christmas classes without Season of Joy? In fact this is a set I have used all year around over and over.

 I know most of you already have this stamp set, but if you don't now is your last chance!

But just when I wonder what I will do without one thing - Stampin' Up! bring up another to make me smile! I will be showing how to create this wonderful card at upcoming workshops. This one also features Tiny Tags and Petite Pairs.

I have some other examples to show you over the next few weeks.

Everything Eleanor 3 of 3

Hello Everyone

Well IMO I saved the best 'till last. I LOVE this card. My favourite colors of Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Vanilla are on show along with a little subtle bling with the use of daubed Champagne Shimmer Paint on the flower.

As well as Everything Eleanor, I used the Petite Pairs stamp set for my greeting here.

I really like the fancy fold effect on this card...I used the Curly Cute stamp set for the inside greeting.

I hope you have enjoyed my Everything Eleanor creations. Do let me know which is your favourite.

Welcome Orlaith

Hello Everyone

One of my lovely downline's Carolyn had a new arrival a few weeks ago. Little Orlaith, (a Celtic name pronounced Or-la), came into the world and I made a card and gift to welcome her.

For the gift bag, I stamped tissue paper with the Delicate Doilies stamp set and put it inside a Large Cello Bag. I made a topper with lots of punches. It was lovely to personalise her little gift by stamping her name.

I am sure you have seen my dresser cards before, but I think they are SO cute for baby cards I had to make another. Luckily I keep templates for all my class projects so a little searching had me measuring, cutting and folding a matching card.

The Welcome Baby sentiment comes from Petite Pairs, and the envelope is stamped with images from Tiny Tags.

Hope you like it!

A card for Nina

Hello Everyone

Today's project is a card I made for one of my lovely downline, Nina. I used the Everyday Enchantment designer paper that is available FREE during Sale a Bration.

I created a little pocket using the Two Tags die - the larger tag made the pocket, the smaller one made a little bookmark to go inside.

The main sentiment is from Petite Pairs, the sentiments on the bookmark are from You're a Gem.

I used the ivory Velvet ribbon from the Spring Mini catalogue for the top of the bookmark, tied with some Early Espresso narrow taffeta ribbon.

Other stamps used on this project are Artistic Elements, Tiny Tags and the beautiful Charming. Definitely my favourite stamp set in the Spring Mini catalogue.

Hope you like it :)
