Gifts made easy with Stampin' Up! cello bags

On Saturday I held a card making class called "Blooms and Wishes", named after one of our new stamp sets from the 2016/17 Annual Catalogue.

I love the watercolored finish of the images in the "Blooms and Wishes" set, they are really pretty.  You will find a picture of all of the images that are contained in the set below.

At these events I always like to make a little handmade treat for my ladies attending and I decided to use the new Cello Bags.

I made some little tags, stamped the leaf and flower images on then added my greeting, all from the same set, then punched a hole to tie them to my Cello Bags.  I centred the flowers using Rhinestones.

A really cute treat made simpler with the help of Stampin' Up!  Just think of the possibilities these little bags could contain!  Watch this space!

Hello! Annual Catalogue 2016 – 2017 Blog Hop Week 4

Welcome to the Hello! Annual Catalogue 2016-2017 Blog Hop! You’ll be hopping around 10 amazing Stampin’ Up!® Independent Demonstrators blogs, each with an inspirational project, featuring new catalogue products.

Currently you’re visiting Kerry from Gloucestershire in the UK Hello there! You  can continue hopping by using the previous and next buttons at the end of this post. 

Now, let’s scroll down to see what I’ve been making.
The "Love and Affection" stamp set was one of the first I received during the pre-order period and I fell in love with it straight away. It's been one of those sets that I really find hard to put down and I've created so many different projects for different occasions.

I've used lots of the stamps from the set to create my card, and used two of the new In Colours Flirty Flamingo and Dapper Denim.

Another new product featuring here are the Layering Squares Framelits Dies, and the first picture doesn't show it very clearly but I created an aperture to frame my flower and leaf spray.

Maybe you can see the aperture better in this picture. I love spots and chose this paper from the "Floral Boutique" Suite, these papers are just stunning, Navy and White, a perfect colour combo to add a "pop of bright"!

Can you see the Floral Boutique Washi Tape too? I've used nearly a whole pack already, you will find a strip along the bottom of my card stuck to a piece of whisper white cardstock. I've also used the co-ordinating Solid Bakers Twine and just had to order more as I was getting low!

Thank you for visiting today. The next stop is the talented Anja Luft. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

Happy Saturday!

This morning I am running a class in Whitminster, I love my Saturday events and I try to run one everyone month, depending on Jack's racing dates and availability of the hall, it's not always possible.  I've not had an All Day Saturday event for some time now, maybe I will schedule one in!

As promised, the third card from the set, similar layout to the first one I shared, but using different colours for the layers of cardstock.

I will be sad to see this stamp set go, along with the gorgeous Patterned Paper Stack called "Love Blossoms", the colours and patterns are just so pretty.

I hope you are enjoying my creations with this stamp set, I have one more card to share with you from this class, along with the 3D project of the day.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a lovely weekend planned!
