Thankful Banner

Happy Sunday :D

Here is the remaining project for my upcoming class.

It's my own creation and I'm so happy with how it turned out <3

If you haven't registered for my class yet, make sure you do! ;D

'Floral Phrases' For You

Happy Tuesday :D

Today I'm sharing a sample I made for my inspiration station for the ECS June event. 

It's also one of the projects for my next class ... How's that for forward thinking ;)

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek  :D

Jar Of Love For Wedding Wishes

Happy Wednesday :D

I had some spare stamped jars lying about so decided to use them. This is what I came up with.

I love the 'Floral Boutique' DSP in the new catalogue, and took my colour inspiration from it.

I love how this card turned out :D

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

A Room With A View

Happy Wednesday :)

I didn't have the next class projects ready for last weeks class so this is a surprise for everyone. I did tell them that the class theme was the window framelit though ;)

I've seen this card all over Pinterest (Thanks Amy K for the inspiration!) and thought it's too pretty not to case!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek  :D

Love Ewe Baby

Happy Thursday and St. Patrick's Day!

Today I'm sharing one of my creations for my upcoming Sunburst thinlit themed class.

Not your conventional baby card but I do love how it turned out <3

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek  :)

Love and Sympathy

Happy Friday ☺️

Today I want to share a card I created for my upcoming sympathy card class.

I've used the Bloomin' Heart thinlit to create the centrepiece. I like that you can use it for other occasions than romance.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek ☺️

Frog Prince

Happy Wednesday ... Ribbit  :)

Whether you have a frog or a prince in your life this Valentines card has you covered! ;)

I've used the cute new SU! bundle 'Playful Pals' to make the frog and the sentiment is from 'Petite Pairs'. 

The "waves" on the card base are made using  the squiggly line stamp in the 'Starburst Sayings' set.

Thanks for stopping by ... Ribbit ... And for taking a peek!

Beautiful 'Bloomin' Heart'

Happy Tuesday :)

Today I wanted to share one of the projects for my upcoming Valentines class. 

This card is a case of one I saw on Pinterest by Stacy Lane (thanks Stacy for the inspiration!).

I've used Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride to give the card a softer feel. 

I lined a Crumb Cake envelope with a liner cut from the sweet 'Love Blossoms' DSP stack to add a little extra something.

The background piece and bird wing are stamped with the retired 'Lovely Lace' stamp.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek

'Bear Hugs'

Happy Monday ☺️

Today's card is using the cute new bundle from SU! called 'Bear Hugs'.

I kept the card pretty straight forward. 

The DSP is some retired pieces I had lying around. Using up the last of a paper pack is always a good feeling!

Thanks for stopping by and a peek ☺️

A Slice Of Lemon

Happy Wednesday ☺️

I think I have a problem ... A teacup problem lol.

Here's another card I made using the 'Teacups and Kettles' bundle from Stampin'Up!

I was inspired by a card I saw made by inkers workshop (thank you for the inspiration!) and of course since it involved teacups I had to case it.

Notice the little lemon slice charm? 

Isn't it adorable?! 

The icing on the cake, or, the slice of lemon in my tea ☺️

I used sentiments from 'Perfect Pennants' and  'Awesomely Artistic'.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek ☺️

Tea Cups and Kettles

Happy Friday ☺️

I hope you've had a great week!

Classes resumed this week and it was nice to get back into the swing of things once more.

Above is one of the projects we kicked the new year off with.

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest by Mary Fish (thanks Mary for the inspiration!). 

Here's the second project designed by yours truly ...

A sweet Z-fold card that would brighten anyone's day don't you think ☺️

I love the extra little details that the coordinating framelits offer to the 'A Nice Cuppa' stamp set - the scallops on the teapot and the swirls on the teacup. 

It's a little hard to see in the photos but I used the new clear Wink Of Stella glitter pen on the hearts. These pens are my new friends. I get to add some glitter to my projects without the mess!

Now it's time for me to put my actual kettle on. All this talk of tea has me wanting an actual cup of my own lol.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek  ☺️

Time For Tea

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I certainly did☺️

I took some time away from my work room but now I'm back in it preparing classes. I have to say it's nice not making something Christmas related for a change lol.

I thought I would start with a sneak peek of some new goodies.

With the soon to be released Occasions catalogue from Stampin' Up!,  I knew straight away what my first class of the year would use... The fun new bundle ' A Nice Cuppa'.

With coordinating DSP and embellishments, oh my, I am in heaven!

Stay tuned for class projects in the coming days ☺️

A Glittery Sleigh Ride

Happy Tuesday :D

It's the first day of December and that means I will be holding a 'Fancy Pants' class to finish off my Christmas card classes.

My favourite bundle in the Holiday catalogue is the Sleigh Ride edgelits and coordinating stamp set. That being said, I had to sneak them in my classes somewhere!

Here's project one for my 'Fancy Pants Finale' class, cased from Pinterest. ☺️

Christmas In Your Heart

Happy Wednesday :D

Just a quick post today as I'm gearing up for the East Coast Stampin' Christmas event this weekend!

Project two for next weeks 'Peaceful Pines' class. ☺️

Use as a table decoration or a gift box, the sentiment says it all ...

"May the Christmas spirit find a home in your heart" ❤️

Holy Bats, Batman!

Happy Thursday :D

Tomorrow I'm teaching a class of middle schoolers as part of an enrichment programme at my local middle school.

I thought the kids would appreciate Halloween ideas. What do you think?

I came across this idea on Pinterest. Thanks to Meg Loven for the awesome idea ... And thanks to you for stopping by and taking a peek ☺️

'Thanks and Giving'

Happy Wednesday :D

I didn't have the next classes projects ready to show attendees last week but I'm working on them and here's the first one.

The theme for the class is 'Thanks and Giving'.

I've used the new stamp set from Stampin' Up! called 'Lighthearted Leaves' and watercoloured my image. 

The square pillow box (a new framelit with lots of extras!) is embossed with the handsome new folder 'Woodland'.

Add a gold foil doily and you're set with a gorgeous gift box for a Thanksgiving treat!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek  :)

One Wintry Night

Happy Thursday :D

Here's the last project for my 'Fancy Pants Christmas' class.

Some might say I saved the best for last even lol.

There's oodles of new goodies on this card ... Check out the window, the sleigh ride edgelit and what about the fancy corners on the card base?

I even managed to sneak in my favourite trees from the 'Wonderland' stamp set!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek  :D

I've been asked what I used for the greenery at the bottom of the window. It is an old punch I have (Non-SU!). Any kind of finer foliage (the bird punch stem for example) could be substituted for it :)

It's Beginning To Look Like A Fancy Pants Christmas

Happy Tuesday :D

With September just around the corner, it's time for me to start holding Christmas card classes.

My first one is next week and I'm starting with a 'Fancy Pants Christmas' class. Three fancy cards that will have everyone wanting to be on your Christmas card list this year!

I've used plenty of new goodies from the upcoming Holiday catalogue for this project. I had such a hard time using just one item! When you see your new catalogue you'll know what I mean ;D

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Strong and Masculine

Happy Wednesday :D

At least twice a year I hold a masculine card class and next week will be one of them. 

I've used a few stamp sets (World Map, Guy Greetings, Sail Away) to create this card and you can change the recipient as 'Guy Greetings' has plenty of options to choose from.

Here's the inside of the card:

Strong and straightforward which is what most men like!

Thanks for taking a peek :D

Sending Love Your Way

Hello all and happy Tuesday :)

This card is the one that had me "needing" to get the stamp set 'Celebrate Today'. As soon as I saw it on Pinterest I knew I "had" to have it Lol. Thanks to Allison Okamitsu for the inspiration and for enabling me!

Just have to have this card for yourself? Sign up for my class to make your very own ;)
