Layout - Stampin' Up! Sunday

Hi All

This is what we created on the weekend for our layout class "Bold & Bright" using the Sweet Taffy papers from last years catalogue.  I love the colours in this layout and the background, I am finding it easier as I get more layouts under my belt.  This was inspired by some layouts I saw browsing the internet and I merged a couple of ideas together plus added some of my own quirky items.

Cards - Stampin' Up Sunday

As it was such a beautiful day I ditched the photo tent and decided to take the pics out in the back yard - I think they turned out okay.

Using "Vellum" for these cards which is such a versatile paper medium and was really nice to work with.

These are the cards for this Sunday the 20th September 2015 hope to see you there.

More Info on Up-Coming Classes

Hi All

I have had a few questions about what my classes will entail over the next couple of months so I have tried to give you some further information below without giving too much away - I like to hold a little bit back to get people excited about what we will be doing!!!

Stampin' Up! Sunday - 20th September 2015
Cards - We will be making 4 cards using the English Garden Collection which I used last month to make a layout of my son. In addition we will be stamping on Vellum and showing you modern ways to use this style of paper which has been around for a while.  I also have a new stamp set to play with as well.

Layout - This months theme is "Bold & Bright" so we will  be creating our background out of the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set and the using the Sweet Taffy paper range which was in the last catalogue but I still have some left and love the big bright colours.

Off the Page - Keeping is simple we will use the Gift Box Punch to make our own Gift Boxes.

Retro September - 27th September 2015
Cards - I found some really cool retro coasters which have inspired me to make four cards, where you will be able to insert the coasters into two of them to give as a gift and the other two cards we will use the coasters as toppers.

Round Cork Photo Board - I came across some round cork board and thought they would make a really cool off the page project so we will be using the cork as a base and scrapbooking on this with chipboard and some other cool stuff.

October - No Classes

Christmas Headstart - 1st November 2015
Cards - Using the lovely new Graphic 45 Christmas paper range we will make four cards for only those very special people in your life.

Off the Page - Using various Christmas Papers to make wine bags

Stampin' Up! Sunday - 15th November 2015
Cards - On this day we will  be making 20 cards, yes you ready correctly I will design 4 cards and you will be making 5 of each of them, hence the price of this class is $40 however that only works out to be $2 per card (for a handmade card!!!)

Layout - Something Christmas themed (I am yet to choose papers for this class but they will be from the new catalogue)

Off the Page - Christmas Window Pillow Boxes

Christmas Breakout / up - 6th December 2015
This day will be about Christmas Tags and using brown paper to make our wrapping paper as well as embellishments to go with everything.  I am currently investigating the Heidi Swapp Minc Foiling Machine to purchase for this class as I think it would be pretty amazing to do our tags etc this way.  Will keep you posted on this.

So as you can see I think Christmas is more than covered, and I am also planning classes for next year which I am super excited about to give you a taste I am hoping to do some Tim Holtz themed classes and also Wendy Vecchi who does the most amazing faux granite technique on her cards I think it just needs to be shared. 

Anyway enough babbling from me - Hope you have an awesome week I will be designing and making cards for this weekends classes so stay tuned for the photos.

Keep Creating!

Shabby Chic Day

As we zoom towards the end of another week I am just doing a quick post today on a project I completed a few years ago when I caught the OTP bug (Off the Page).  It was a design by Angella Peardon in conjunction with Scrapmatts I was really pleased to produce something so "pretty".
