Extra Class - Note Card Carrier - 14th December

My last class before Christmas is the "Note Card Carrier" held on Tuesday 14th December, 7.00pm at Whitminster Village Hall in the lounge.  A gorgeous little carrier by Jenny Moors which I have assembled using two different stamp sets so that you can choose which you would like to create.  Your choices are "Love You Much", very girly and pink and "Just Believe which is more soft and subtle!

Some of you have already confirmed that you are coming, but if you would like to come, please confirm by Sunday at the latest along with your choice of project as there are two to choose from.  Here are the pictures of both projects:

"Love you Much" Class

and the "Just Believe" Class, both would make a lovely gift

All you need to bring is your favourite adhesives to include Sticky Strip (double sided tape), Dimensionals (3D Foam Pads) and your own mug, I will supply the rest!  Email me at stampinkerry@aol.com to book your space or call/text me on 07717 068909.

Matching Card

As promised, here is the matching card that we made to co-ordinate with the treat holder.  We used exactly the Flower Accent stamp in the same way adding the Boho Blossoms Punched flowers and leaves from the Two-Step Bird Punch.

The greeting was taken from the "Love You Much" stamp set , punched out with the Word Window Punch and attached to the bottom of the main panel.  To the left of this we punched out 6 1/4" Pretty in Pink circles and stuck 3 onto the Very Vannila layer then stuck the other three on top of the first to give them height, then added Crystal Effects to give a lovely shiny finish.

Inspiring Inkin' Challenge #21

OK, this is my attempt at the latest Inspiring Inkin' Challenge #21 which you can see here.  Our challenge was to make a 3D box that would hold some cards and then to make the cards to go inside!  Well for me this was just perfect as I have been making these as Door Prize Gifts at my recent Home Workshops.  So here it is.

The box is a Pizza Box style and this one was designed by Shirley Foster and I just love it.  I have used the stamp set "Love You Much" with this one to decorate it and created 4 square cards to fit inside which are just so cute if I might say!!

I think these make a perfect little gift and could be decorated in so many different ways.

Krafty "For You"

Another quick post this evening as I have a Home Workshop and then off to our team monthly meeting in the morning and still have to prepare the swaps, eeeekk!!

This is a card used as a make and take at a recent workshop I held, it looks quite detailed but actually its quite simple to put together.  We used "One of a Kind" which I just love and teamed with Kraft (which has to be one of my favourite colours of cardstock, not to mention Rose Red of course!), Chocolate Chip, So Saffron and Whisper White.  We added a brad and striped grosgrain ribbon in matching So Saffron for texture.

Hopefully back tomorrow evening with some piccies of swaps I will be receiving at our gathering tomorrow.

When the colour fits!

I saw a similar item recently on a blog whilst hopping around and decided to create my own version after coming across this chocolate bar with its Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip wrapper, just perfect!!  It didn't take much time to get the correct dimensions to fit the chocolate bar and could be created for smaller bars.

I used two of the stamps from "Love you Much", the trio hearts stamp works perfectly as a background and of course it co-ordinates with the "Heart to Heart" punch should you wish to cut them out with ease!  The scallop greeting was punched out using the Scallop Circle Punch and I used the 1 1/4" Circle Punch to layer the image.  The heart was coloured using the Pretty in Pink Marker Pen.

I added a strip of the gorgeous 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and then punched a slot at the top using the Word Window Punch.  It even stands up on it's own!!

More Love you Much!

Well I did say I have been getting good use out of the "Love You Much" set.  This was created as a Make and Take at a recent workshop and it worked really well.  Once again my fav. colours, Rose Red, Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose, this time teamed with Very Vanilla cardstock.  We had good use of the punches to create this M&T and also has some nice soft Double Stitched Ribbon to play with, it is so gorgeous!

I have been making lots of use of this set "Love you Much" recently, what with Valentine's Day and Mother's Day coming up.  I love how the "Heart to Heart" Punch co-ordinates with this set as you will see from the punched out hearts to the right of the card.  I used the trio hearts stamp to create a versamark background then stamped it onto Regal Rose and Rose Red to create the 3 hearts on the right.  The "Love you Much" image was coloured using the blender pens and I attached a brad and a spotty heart.

Inspiring Inkin' Challenge #20

Well I know it's a bit late, but here is my take on the latest Inspirin' Inkin Challenge which you can find over here.

We had to use Basic Grey, Real Red, Very Vanilla and Pretty in Pink with an added twist of having a Valentine theme!  I used the birdy stamp from the set "Love you Much" which I stamped onto Whisper White cardstock, then again onto Designer Series Paper and hand cut out the birdy bodies and adhered them with Dimensionals onto the Whisper White layer that I previously stamped.  I inked the edges to give it a kind of grungy manly touch!  It is not a very clear photograph but I did also add some punched 1/4" circles in Basic Grey and paper pierced the corners of the Black layer.

I stamped the "Love you Much" greeting on the inside of the card and added some hearts to hide the flower underneath!

Friend to Friend Valentine Treats

I decided to make some Valentine treats for my daughter's 3 closest friends, a couple of whom came to one of my workshops lately and had a fab time at the young age of 13, professional crafters in training!!!

Here is what I made:

Sorry about the poor photo quality, I had to quickly take a piccie before she took them off to school on Friday!  These Chocolate Treat Sliders are great for any occasion and by pulling up on the Ribbon Bow it reveals the hidden bar of chocolate inside which has been wrapped in Rose Red Designer Series Paper to match the rest of the holder.  The stamp set used for this treat was "Love you Much" which I have used recently in the run up to Valentines Day.  I used small chocolate bars for these but it would work just as easily with larger bars.  I used Crystal Effects on the cut out hearts to make them shiny.

If you would like to learn how to make these why not come along to one of my classes, contact me on stampinkerry@aol.com for further details.
