Christmas Cardmaking Class - Reminder

Just a reminder that there are a few places left on my Christmas Cardmaking Class on the 6th October 2012 to be held in the hall at Tidworth Community Centre, Wylye Road, Tidworth, between 10.00am and 2.00pm.

During the 4 hour class you will make approximately 12 cards, but like last year there will be no pressure to rush and keep up with others, just enjoy some time crafting and make as many cards as you are comfortable with. 

Some of the cards will be using items from the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue which runs from 1st September 2012 to 31st January 2013. Please let me know if you would like a copy of this catalogue. 

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided, but please bring your own lunch if required.

Cost of the class is £28, which will include a copy of the 2012/2013 Annual Catalogue due out on 1st October 2012.

Please bring your own preferred tape tape/glue/adhesive to the class along with some foam pads.

If you would like to book a place please give me a call on 07796 682902 or contact me by email at juliajor@googlemail.com. I will need to take a £10 deposit to be received by Saturday 22^nd September, but please book with me first to ensure there is a place as numbers are limited. 

On the day I will also be selling off some of my craft stash (to make way for new!) mostly other makes, but may include some retired items from Stampin’ Up if there is anything left.

Please note that payment for the class and any ‘sale’ items purchased on the day is cash or cheque. However, I can take a card payment for any items purchased from the Stampin' Up catalogues.

Elegant Aviary

Posting a card today using the Aviary stamp set (again!) and strips of scrap paper from the Stampin' Up DSP paper stacks.....

This design layout works well for a single image stamp and just by changing the image and colours of paper you can make cards to suit all occassions.

Sorry the picture is not very clear but you will get the general idea. The base card is white and the ink colours for stamping are Basic Grey and Island Indigo. The spritzer tool and a Tempting Turquoise marker have been used to create a background for the stamped image.

Spotty Reason to Smile

Just a quick post with a simple card today using the Reason to Smile Stamp set, see my previous post for details of the offer on this set.

Colours used here are Basic Grey, Pretty in Pink and So Saffron. I love the flower centre used here to stamp a spotty border.

Have a good weekend.

Reason to Smile August Offer

Showing a clean and simple card today using the Reason to Smile stamp set which is on offer from Stampin' Up this month, see the link below for further details.

Here I have used colours of Daffodil Delight and Basic Back card together with Basic Black ink for stamping the sentiment and the flowers. The spritzer tool and Daffodil Delight marker have been used to fill in around the flowers. 

I like the shadow look of this stamp, but check out the rest of the designs in the set here. The Reason to Smile stamp set is free during August if you spend £60 in one order, or can be purchased at a cost of £14.95 (clear mount) or £18.95 (wood mount).

Have a good weekend.
