Christmas Card Buffet Projects part 1

Posted on September 22, 2017 by admin

So we had a lovely group of ladies come and craft with us recently at our Christmas Craft Buffet. There was lots of chatter, crafting, prizes and of course some yummy refreshments to be shared. As the event was of course Christmas themed it also involved carols, trees and lights……

The ladies got to chose how many projects (from 3-10) they wanted to complete in the afternoon from 10 different designs. A few were early and got a head start on the projects as you can see below

The first project was a card using Seasonal Chums – totally love this little reindeer and the Merry Music Specialty paper is definitely a hot favourite with me!

The second project was using the perennial favourite Cookie Cutter Christmas with the awesome co-ordinating punch!

The third project was white heat embossed Lovely As A Tree that I use so much – it has to be my absolute favourite Stampin’ Up! set with the Pinewood Planks textured impressions embossing folder and a sentiment from Butterfly Basics.

The fourth project was a pair of bottle tags – totally love these, an awesome way to decorate a bottle of wine. Both tags has designer series paper from the Merry Music Specialty pack, the red tag featured stamps from the new Half Full set and a holly punch embellishment. The other tag was stamped with the new Merry Little Labels stamp set which also comes with a co-ordinating Everyday Label punch.

The fifth project was made using the super versatile Painted Harvest stamp set – one of my firm favourites from the new Holiday Catalogue. The sentiment is from the Flurry of Wishes stamp set in the Annual Catalogue.

Since this post is getting a bit long, I’ll put the other 5 projects onto a seperate post soon. If you would like a copy of the new Holiday Catalogue, please let me know and I would be happy to mail one to you if the PDF version just isn’t the answer!

Ribbon of Courage Breast Cancer Card

Posted on July 20, 2017 by admin

When I got the new Annual Catalogue one of the first things that caught my eye was the Ribbon of Courage stamp set with matching framelits. These stamps are beautiful and sadly I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been affected by cancer in one form or another so cards made with this set will no doubt be well received.

The colours can be changed of course to meet the specific cancer colour, if you are wondering which colours are which cancer then you can see this chart here. The sentiment for the card below is from Thoughts and Prayers.

This bundle is great value and available in clear mount $63.75 or wood mount $76.50 of course if you just want the stamps or framelits separately they are also available with the clear mount stamp set being $33, wood mount $47 and framelits $38.

The card was well received (from the e-note they sent to my Cherub), partly because it’s just nice to get happy mail when you’re not well, but also because it seems greeting cards are a dying breed in this instant electronic age, but sometimes it’s worth the effort to say I care by sending a piece of myself (i.e. my time) to someone.

Inside the lines super bee

Posted on March 25, 2017 by admin

So colouring the lovely Sale-a-bration designer series paper Inside the Lines (FREE with a $90 spend) for some gets tedious, so recently in class we made this card, simple, quick and elegant.

The sentiment is from Super Duper and was gold heat embossed onto vellum strategically held down with glue dots in places where they won’t show through e.g. under ribbon or sequins.

The bee die cut from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits, the ribbon is gold natural trim and the metallics assorted sequins.
