All Day Crafting Event

I always look forward to my all day events, they involve a lot of work but are worth all the time spent ensuring everyone has a lovely creative day

 

Here is their goody bag, I used a sneak peak stamp "just a little something for you" along with some of the new In Colour cardstock called Lost Lagoon.

 

I teamed the new Lost Lagoon with Crisp Cantaloupe as I really like them together, cutting layers with the Deco Labels framelits dies.

 

The Silver Star is a sneak peak item, a cute little punch that is part of a set of 3, love it!

 

The table treat is a Fererro Rocher in disguise!  I used tissue from the Celebrations Add On Kit, cut to 6" square and wrapped it around the choccy treat and tied with another sneak peak, the Thick Bakers Twine.

 

I created a tag using the Tag Topper Punch and stamped my wording again, adding a star for some glimmer.

 

The Flower Punch is another sneak peak, yes, lots of sneak peaks today!  It's from the same set as the Star, love this one too!

 



 Here is the room all set up ready for my ladies to arrive, it doesn't stay like this for long, it is soon buzzing with chatter and laughter! 

 

Here's one of the projects we created, a gift card/money pouch

Sadly I have to tell you that the Bitty Punch Pack has now sold out, here I used one of the punches for my itty bitty flowers,

 

If you are coming to my BOGOF evening on 30th June you may be in the chance of getting my set!



 

I used the "Four Frames" stamp sets which co-ordinates with the Decorative Label Punch, stamping into Crumb Cake Ink.  The greeting is from the "Wetlands" stamp set

I used the Elegant and Bitty Butterfly punches with Blushing Bride cardstock and Vellum.  The leaves are from the Bird Builder Punch.

 

I embossed a layer of vellum with the Decorative Dots embossing folder which is soon to make a return to the 2014/15 catalogue.

 

 Here you can see how it looks on the inside,

 

 

Here you can see the closure, this is created using a new Tab Edgelit Die, another sneak peak!

Last few days......

..... to have your own "Reason to Smile".  The stamps will only be available until 31st August so don't delay!!

 

My card today uses the "Reason to Smile" on the background, stamped with the lovely Whisper White ink, it always gives stunning results.

 

The Pear Pizzazz spotty frame is from the "Four Frames" stamp set, punched out using the co-ordinating Decorative Label Punch.

 

The greeting is from the "Curly Cute" stamp set which I use so much, I love the font and of course I am still loving the pleated ribbon, here I used Baja Breeze to match my card base.

 

 

The butterfly was cut using the "Beautiful Wings" Embosslit which cuts and embosses at the same time, so clever and very pretty.

 

Team Training

On Saturday we travelled to Amanda's Quarterly Team Meeting where over 30 of us got together to learn and be inspired!!  Of course we have lots of fun but also have some business talk too!

As you may know, we create "swaps" and swap with each other so that we come home with lots of inspiration and new ideas, here is my creation.

I used the lovely new Textured Embossing Folder called "Manhattan Flower", it is so simple to create such a beautiful background to your projects.

My stamps were "Four Frames" from the Mini Catalogue P.11 £15.95 Clear Mount or £19.95 Wood Mount and also "Clearly for You" from the Mini Catalogue P.22 £17.95 Clear Mount or £22.95 Wood Mount.

I used a colour combination of Sahara Sand, Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla and the Designer Series Paper is from "Springtime Vintage" which you will find in the Mini on Page 17 priced at £8.75 for 12 sheets of 12x12" Double Sided Paper!

The butterflies were created using one of the Embosslits Dies called "Beautiful Wings" priced at £10.50, which cuts and embosses at the same time.  These little beauties are absolutely gorgeous, so detailed and cute and cut out in no time at all using the Big Shot Machine.

I punched out my frame from "Four Frames" using the new "Decorative Label Punch" from the Mini Page 11, £15.50 and also the Perfect Plum label behind the Amour greeting is created using the same punch. 

The other punches used were the Scallop Trim Corner and Border and of course the Word Window which I used to punch out the "Amour" wording.

I received some lovely swaps in return and will be showing you these soon.

We had a fab day, albeit a long one and thanks go to Jane for driving us there and getting us home in one piece!
