We could do with a bit of Merry & Bright....

..... with these dark dreary mornings we are having of late!

Today's make is one of my favourite recent creations, I'm a big fan of the Kraft cardstock and I love the cute stamped images I've used here.

I used two stamp sets from the A/W Catalogue

Santa's Sleigh and Stitched with Cheer

I made a window scene using the Hearth and Home framelits dies, such a simple way to create such a stunning effect and this window die has a multitude of uses and suitable for so many occasions.  You can find this set in the Annual Catalogue on Page 192.

I used the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate behind my window to create a simple background, silver side showing.  This acetate is just amazing and can easily be missed in the catalogue

I hope you like my card and feel inspired to have a go at creating something made by you.

Second Layout from June's Scrapbook Class

Gosh, July has arrived, lets hope there's some better weather on the way!  

I have been a Scrapbooker for many years, I love how I can be creative and preserve my memories at the same time.

I hold a class on the third Thursday of every month and we create 3 layouts at each class.

Here is the second layout from June's class, as explained in my previous post I use the same products for all three layouts.

I love to hand cut, I know it's not everyone's thing but I quite like it and Stampin' Up! don't provide us with a punch for every stamp we have!  I like to leave a white space between the stamped image and my cut line and find this makes it easier to cut.

I love how well Denim Dapper teams with Flirty Flamingo, two of my fave new In Colours.

Such an amazing stamp set "Love and Affection", love it!  Great value, great images and very versatile.

For the two flowers at the top left of the layout I stamped onto coloured cardstock using the same colour ink, love this look.

This month's Scrapbooking Class layouts

This week I held my monthly Scrapbooking Class, at this class we create 3 layouts using the same products for each.

Here is the first one, my colour combo consists of Mint Macaron {{love}} and Wisteria Wonder with some Smoky Slate thrown in!

I focussed on the Botanicals range using the stamps and framelits, these have been really popular with you all and you can see why.  The leaves and flower dies are gorgeous.

Sadly the tiny flower punch is retiring, it's from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack and I am actually devastated to hear of it's retirement but I know there will be something that will take it's place!

Thankfully the Petite Petals flower punch is staying (the white flower)

The cute little scallop edge is die cut using one of the dies from the Cutie Pie Framelits Set, you will see a little more from this here soon, we used this die for my recent Big Shot class.

Don't forget to stop by and take a look at the Retirement List, things are selling out quickly but there's still change to get yourself an amazing deal on some gorgeous Stampin' Up! goodies.

Here is a link to the latest list, you can place an online order via my shop and have your goodies delivered direct to your door, or just get in touch and I will add the items onto my next order then you can collect if you are local, or postage will be at cost!

If you are shopping online, please use my HOSTESS CODE if your order is over £25 and I will send you a handstamped card and little gift in the post to say thank you for shopping with me.
