One Sheet Wonder - WooHoo!

 I absolutely LOVE when I can make an entire project just using 1 sheet of DSP, be it 6x6 or 12x12..

Today's class is using a 12x12 DSP sheet from the fabulous 'FREE Sale-A-Bration' pack called "PAPER BLOOMS"


Not only are we making this cute little gift bag.... we are also making 6 mini notelets and envelopes to go inside it!



I had so much fun designing this project, hope you'll enjoy it to!

Ever wondered what CASEing is??...

 Many terms and phrases are used in the papercrafting & stamping world - not all immediately obvious.  So, to CASE .... or not to CASE....

Absolutely CASE!    

CASE means Copy And Share Everything..... although my own personal version of this is usually to Copy And Slightly Embellish (Or Enhance!)

CASEing is the best way to overcome Crafter's Block, that point where you just don't know what to make with your lovely crafting goodies.  Simply pick up your Stampin' Up! catalogue, find a sample that you like, you don't even have to have the exact same supplies, just COPY the layout/basic structure of the project AND SLIGHTLY EMBELLISH (or ENHANCE) with the supplies to hand.  This method of re-booting my creative juice flow has never failed me yet - you MUST try it!

Oh and if you don't have a Stampin' Up Catalogue - CALL ME NOW! - I'll get one to  you! and also, DON'T ever throw them away - they make for the best 'Resource Library' - or tear out the samples you like and make your very own 'SAMPLE SCRAPBOOK'!

So Today!  We began a new set of Zoom lessons featuring "PRETTY PERENNIALS" Stamps and Dies... and where better to start, than to, yep, you've guessed it...

We CASE'd the Catalogue!

New 'Parcel In The Post' - booking open!

 Hello!  

Firstly I must formally apologise to all those booked onto upcoming classes, as most of you are aware, these have all had to be bumped along the calendar due to Brexit/Customs issues affecting all deliveries incoming from Stampin' Up! (our warehouse is in Germany, for those unaware)

With these delays in mind I have to ask for 'Speedy Booking' should the next Parcel In The Post interest you?!... its a lovely one - focusing mainly on those pesky blokes in our lives!  I've had lots of fun creating with this Suite and now have 6 lovely projects ready to go!

'Snowflake Splendour' - Spinner Card & Box

 Another one of our 'Snowflake Splendour' makes was this fun spinner card!



While the main focus would always be on the 'spinning snowflake' in the centre, it still had to have an equally elegant front...


And of course, a lovely box to house it!....


I know my ladies enjoyed making this card, and it has endless possibilities as to 'what' you can have spinning!
