Mini Easel Notepad

Another class project, an Easel Notepad complete with it's own gift bag.

 

The elements on the front of the Kraft flower bag are all from the Mini Album Kit that you will find in the Spring/Summer Catalogue.  The bag is designed to become a "Page" in the album but I chose it to be a bag to hold my desktop Easel Notepad. 

 

This is such a cute kit containing everything to create a gorgeous mini album, including covers, inside pages, book rings, doilies, clips and die cut labels, shapes and borders.  If you scroll down you can get a look at the contents.  Please note that the gold butterflies are not included, I punched these with the Bitty Butterfly punch using the Gold foil paper, also in the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

 

I am constantly making little notes in the kitchen and instead of having a non attractive post it note pad on the side or mini notepad I decided to make something a little more attractive!  It's decoration is simple but could be dressed up a little more if you prefer.  This would make a really nice gift too!

 

The flower is from "Mixed Bunch" stamps, punched out with the co-ordinating "Blossom Punch".

 

We are sadly waving goodbye to the Ruffle Stretch Trim ribbon range, I will miss it lots but we will be saying hello to the Decorative Dots embossing folder which made an appearance during Sale-a-bration.

Time is running out.....

..... to get those final things on your Wish List from the Summer Mini Catalogue, this catalogue retires on 31st August so don't miss out.

 

Onto another card, this time using "Mixed Bunch", a real favourite of mine that I have used over and over again, it is just so versatile.

 

A really Clean and Simple card today, very quick and easy to put this one together.  The Mixed Bunch flower was punched out with the Blossom Punch, both of which are in the Summer Mini Catalogue and here I used Real Red from the Brights family of colours. 

 

The greeting is from "Perfect Punches" stamps and I used an Island Indigo Marker Pen to omit the oval that runs around the wording.

 

I used the Simply Scored tool to create a subtle border around the Whisper White layer.

 

So simple, love it!

Another Vienna Layout "Spin the Wheel"

Our second layout at August's Class.  This is a picture of me spinning the wheel in the hospitality suite in Vienna.  Each day during our stay we got to "Spin the Wheel" and pick a prize, it was great!

 

 

I used colours that we will sadly be saying goodbye to, Pear Pizzazz and Blusing Bride, two of the In Colours that will retire at the end of September.

 

We stamped onto Blusing Bride card with the same colour using one of the "Mixed Bunch" flowers then punched out with the co-ordinating Blossom Punch adding centres raised using Dimensionals.

 

The leaves are cut using the "Little Leaves" sizzlit die.

 

The daisies were die cut with the Big Shot using the "Daisies #2" die, here I layer two together and curved the edges down.

Mixed Bunch

My card today uses "Mixed Bunch" a stamp set which is from the NEW Summer Mini Catalogue and I really love it, available in Wood and Clear and with a co-ordinating "Blossom Punch" too which is great.

I have purposely used lots of NEW products on this card to share them with you.

We now have gorgeous new "wafer-thin" dies that layer inside each other which are called "Framelits" and this you can see in Baja Breeze surrounding my Ballerina outfit, along with Edgelits which cut the scallops at the bottom.  This die also has a co-ordinating embossing folder, click on the picture for a closer look.

I am soooo in love with the new Pleated Satin Ribbon available in 4 gorgeous colours and I currently have a share going with these so will post the info about that tomorrow.

I have stamped a flower from the "Mixed Bunch" set in Blushing Bride ink, punched it out with the co-ordinating Blossom Punch, then cut it in half.  Next I took my Owl Punch and punched out a Whisper White body and stuck over my half blossom to look like a ballerina outfit.  I made a fairy wand using the Boho Blossom Punch with one of the new Twitterpated Designer Buttons and some of the lovely Calypso Coral Bakers Twine.

My greeting "Just for You" is from another new stamp set called "Tea Shoppe", will be sharing some samples of that one soon!

The designer papers are from the "Twitterpated" product suite, just love all those colours together, they are so feminine.

I was lucky enough to get the "Mixed Bunch" stamp set for FREE at the recent Stampin' Up! training in Reading, one of the great things about being a Demonstrator is that I get to earn lots of free goodies and also get a permanent discount on the products I buy.

Introducing the new "Simply Scored" Board, a totally amazing tool that I am so in love with already, score tracks at every 1/8" taking card up to 12x12" with a Metric Plate that can be purchased separately which slides in securely over the scoring tool.  Also we have a Diagonal Plate, released only today to us Demonstrators so I can't wait to receive that.

So many things to share with you over the next few days, but here is a little sample of some of one of the stamp sets and accessories and some great new Big Shot products too:

Have to dash off to a class but will be back very soon with more information and pictures to share.
