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.

Very Valentines

Hello and happy Monday :)

I'm finally able to get onto my blog and post about my next class. It will be in time for Valentines Day ;)
There's three projects - a swing card, a gift box and another card.

I recently had a poll on my Facebook page asking about a possible new class time and I had as many people want a Wednesday afternoon class as a Sunday afternoon class. What I am going to do is run a class on either of those days once a month and see what works best so for this class I will be holding THREE classes:

Wednesday 22nd January 1 - 3.30pm
Wednesday 22nd January 7 - 9.30pm
Thursday 23rd January 7 - 9.30pm

Cost:$20.00

Email to register your spot and remember if you're coming to a Wednesday class let me know what time slot!

Home ... Is Where The Heart Is

Happy Wednesday :)

Today's post is the banner I created as part of the Valentine's class I'm running next week.
I wanted to make something heart related and at first thought to put 'LOVE' in the circles of the banner. My second thought was that if it said something more generic, it could be used for more than Valentines, so I decided to put 'HOME' instead. The funny thing is, when the ladies in my class saw the banner, all but two asked if they could put 'LOVE' instead of 'HOME' on it! I'm only too happy for them to change the sentiment but I did find it very humorous!

To create the banner I used the Big Shot scallop circle and circle dies. The pretty hearts are part of the lovely Valentine's DSP in the new mini catalogue, as is the beautiful ribbon the circles hang from.

The Smallest Packages

Hello all :) As the saying goes, "The best things come in the smallest packages". I can be quite often heard saying this because I'm not the tallest of people! Today's post is the wee chocolate giftbox that is part of my upcoming Valentine's Class. I used the SU! pillowbox die and decorated it with some of the gorgeous new Amour DSP and two tone ribbon from the Spring Mini. The ribbon is so beautiful and easy to work with. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek and have a fabulous day!

Valentine's Gifts Grade 3 Style!

Happy Monday :)
Today I'm sharing the Valentine's gifts I made for my youngest DD to give to her fellow classmates this year.
We were given a list of the names of the children in the class so I knew how many boys and girls ones to make.
These were super simple to make but aren't they super cute?! I love how the lollipop stick is held in place by the ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope the start of your week is a good one!

Hoot, Hoot, Handsome!

Isn't this guy cute?! This is the last project for my 'Hearts Have It' class. Since all the attendees to my classes are female, I thought a more masculine Valentine's card might be on order.
You could also swap the sentiment out and give it for another occasion, like a birthday.

The Hearts Have It

Happy Monday :)
Today's post is one of the projects for my 'Hearts Have It' class. It's a gift tag or decoration or whatever you want it to be! I have used the bee-u-t-ful Everyday Enchantment DSP from the Sale-a-bration catty. This heart showcases all sides of the DSP and I love them all!

Class details:
Wednesday February 8th / Thursday February 9th, 7 - 9.30 pm.
Cost : $15. Email to register.

ASI January Challenge

Happy Friday!
Today I have my ASI team swap card to share with you.
The lovely Sandi chose the theme and it was 'Masculine Valentines'. As soon as I heard that my mind went to blues. Isn't it funny how we tend to associate certain colours to things!

I went for something pretty straightforward this time round. I've used Bashful Blue, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzaz (DSP) and Lucky Limeade for my colours. The Island Indigo piece of card stock is raised with dimensionals to create a faux window effect for the heart. I've embossed the heart (to match the embossed hearts on the inside of the card) and added two of my favourite things... yes a button and baker's twine!
Here's a closer look...

Be mine, Valentine!

With Valentine's Day on the horizon, it means lots of pink and red and candy treats for my upcoming Valentine's class!
So what will you be making if you attend the class? Here goes:

The Heart Treat Cup card is too cute, especially filled with delicious peppermint drops. I've used the gorgeous embossing folder in the new mini to frame the flower and to make the treats stand out. Simple but oh so sweet!

Next is a magnetic memo board that you can put on your fridge or another metal surface. It is a CASE of one I got to make at the ASI team meeting last year. The one we made was for Christmas but I just couldn't fit it in my schedule so I saved it until now. I've used the new Glitter paper which I love!! I really like the look of glitter but I don't like the mess it can make. This paper solves my problem as it comes already glittered... Yay!

The last project for the Valentine's class is this sweet wee Bitty Box. I have cut out a heart window and covered it with acetate. Add some candy and a sweet crocheted flower and you have a beautiful wee gift that anyone would be thrilled to receive.
Class Details:

DATES: Wednesday 9th/Thursday 10th February.
TIME: 7 - 9.30 pm.
COST: $22.
