Some more scallop square die projects...

Apologies for the photo quality...not sure what happened here!

The tiny box made from one scallop square was scored between the 2 and third scallop and then a cut along the score line gives you the normal box template for assembling. I made some little gift cards using sprinkled expressions. The box was lined with dsp from the spice cake range.

This next project uses the scallop square die for the lid. The box was made using another piece of card stock. Ideal for giving a samll piece of jewellery.

Jane's Monthly Training Session

Hello, it's Saturday Morning I am am off to our monthly inkaholics training session in Stroud.

We each have to make a card and then put all the products needed in a basket so that everyone else can make the card. (this is called a shoe box swap).

As an added twist we have been asked to use a sale-a-bration set this month.

I have used elementary elegance and the dsp papers.

I love the butterfly embosslits and the leaves die and used them to decorate the stamped frame.

If you would like to see what our training is all about and are thinking about become a demonstrator perhaps you would like to join us at our next meeting? Let me know if this is something you would like to discuss further.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend....

Thursday's 3d project

Now I have been using the scallop square die this month at classes so after a bit of internet surfing I found the measurements for making a box, which uses the square die for the top and bottom. The box was found here http://www.artisticavenger.com.

I used the delicate doiles stamp set and we heat embossed the images using cherry cobbler embossing powder.

The greeting comes from Elementary Elegance and was stamped and then punched out using the curly label punch. A little bit of cherry cobbler scallop dots ribbon and a mini brad finish the look.

Thursday Class Card Project

Well it's the 3rd Thursday of the month again...I can't believe how quick the month has flown by...

I received the Button Buddies stamp set from Amanda back in November and hadn't had chance to play...or even mount it...(shush please don't let on)

After a bit of blog hopping for some ideas I decided to g for a childrens card using the elephant. My idea was taken from a card I found on splitcaost stampers.

The card is bright and fun...incorporates punches and embossing folders as well as chrystal effects on the piggy's nose.

I am sorry for the late post but I didn't want any of my ladies to see the card before coming to class.

Sale-a-bration cards

Last week I meet up with Nickie a fellow demonstator and we both made two cards using sale-a-bration sets.

Here is one of the cards I designed for Nickie to make...my other card was the same as one of my Monday cards.

This card uses the lovely colur combo of pool party and lucky limeade, and of course the sab papers which are just devine!!!!

The stamp set I have used was Outlined Occasions.

Here are the two lovely cards Nickie designed for me to make.

The first card uses Sprinkled Expressions.

and the second one Springtime Vintage...

I hope these cards have inspired you...remember you can have these stamp sets for FREE with each order of £45. So what are you waiting for? give me a call to place your order, or book your own workshop.

The missing Tag

Good Morning

I forgot to show you the tag we made last week...Sorry

Here it is now.

So far my week is lovely and chilled...I have another coffee date with a friend this afternoon and again tomorrow. Hannah is aslo off to stay with her nanny on Thursday and doesn't come back until Saturday afternoon. It has been quite nice to do a bit of blog hopping and class planning at a slower pace this week. I will be back tomorrow with some cards I have made.

Alice's Reaction

Well Alice has returned, I think a happy reaction to her tidy room and hopefully a promise to keep it tidy and dust and hoover each week. (that might have something to do with me saying NO money for her weekly bus ticket).

I have been to see a lady called Jenina this morning who has signed up as a demonstrator so we were filling out all her paperwork and then later on Hannah and I are going out to see friends.

Here is the second project we made last Friday evening.

First the card using the Create a Cupcake stamp set and matching punch.

I just love the colour combination of rich razzleberry, and pretty in pink. Lots of texture has been given by using different embossing plates. The bow was made by passing the ribbon through the middle of a brad and a little tweaking. It was so nice to make a square card for a change, especially as Stampin' UP! now stock the square envelope.

As an extra we also made a gift tag, using the left over cardstock from cutting out the scallop square, and then added a little cupcake.

Thank you for stopping by.
