Season of Joy Christmas Card

Hi all,

Well, this must be a first, making Christmas cards in September. Fancied getting out the Christmas stamp sets recently and making a start whilst I have the time. Have started to make cards in bulk as before you know it, Christmas will be upon us.

Below I decided to use the much hoarded Jolly Holiday DSP that I have. I love this paper and was sad to see it all sold out on the Last Chance List. Here's the card I have made:

Season Of Joy

Stamps: Season Of Joy and Occasional Quotes (inside).
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla. Designer Series Paper - Jolly Holiday.
Inkpad: Cherry Cobbler.
Accessories: 3/8" Tatfeta Ribbon - Very Vanilla, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals, Paper Snips and SU Bone Folder.
Card Size: A6.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your week.

Today's Stampin' Up! Class - Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder

Hi all,

Another great class with the ladies today, making two cards based on the Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder. These two cards were inspired and CASEd by some examples seen online, colours/sentiments were changed to create the below two cards:

Manhattan Flower Card 1


Stamps: Vintage Vogue (P.62) and Occasional Quotes (P.14 - Hostess Level 3).
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette and Whisper White.
Inkpad: Pretty In Pink.Accessories: Big Shot, Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - Manhattan Flower, 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon - Whisper White, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Paper Snips, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals and SU Bone Folder.
Card Size: A6

Someone clever has managed to see beyond the Manhattan Flower pattern to the outline of a "dress". See below for the basic outline:


Manhattan Flower Card 2


Stamps: Occasional Quotes (P.14 - Hostess Level 3).
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla.
Inkpad: Early Espresso.Accessories: Big Shot, Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - Manhattan Flower, Scallop Edge Border Punch, 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon - Very Vanilla, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and SU Bone Folder.
Card Size: A6

This card would be appropriate for most occasions by changing the sentiment whether it be a Happy Anniversary, Thank You, Thinking of You or Birthday card. The themes are endless and so are the colour combinations to create this simple and quick card.

Here are the two cards together:


Thanks for stopping by today, I'm really excited about September's Stampin' Up! Class as I have recently designed it for next month and am chuffed at the end results. Check back at the end of August for sneak peeks.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Stampin' Up! Open House Afternoon

Hi all,

I'm still on a high from my lovely day yesterday, so much so that I think I've been surviving on adrenaline rather than sleep! lol.

After my Stampin' Up! Class in the morning and my Open House Afternoon from 2pm I finally got in my PJs as soon as my last lady left and I retired to bed and didn't wake up till around 6pm!!! Oops, I guess those late nights are finally catching up with me.

Anyway, yesterday's Class went well and you can see the cards the ladies made in my previous post here.

Yesterday afternoon I had my Open House Afternoon, an event to invite my Stampin' Up! customers/friends over to have a look at the new Idea Book & Catalogue, look at samples I've recently made with new goodies, see a demo from myself and play with new products/colours to create a Make & Take.

It was lovely to see so many women so excited about Stampin' Up! and I think they all had a great time :)

Here's the card I demoed to the ladies below using another new favourite colour of mine: Cherry Cobbler! I have teamed up Dasher along with a Level 3 Hostess stamp set called Occasional Quotes that I was able to purchase earlier last month as a perk of being a Demonstrator. YOU can earn for free for a qualifying workshop.

Dasher With Occasional Quotes Demo


Stamps: Dasher, P.113 and Occasional Quotes (Level 3 Hostess stamp set, P.14).
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.
Inkpad: Versamark Stamp Pad.
Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Corner Rounder Punch, 5/8" Satin Ribbon - Whisper White, Embossing Buddy, Stampin' Emboss Powder - White, Heat Tool, Bone Folder, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Paper Snips and 3D dimensionals.
Card Size: A6.

Here's the Dasher a la carte stamp on the last page of the Idea Book & Catalogue:


The Occasional Quotes Level 3 Hostess stamp set:


Hope you've enjoyed seeing what my ladies got to see yesterday and if you'd like to be invited next time for my next Stampin' Up! Open House Event, get in touch with me.

Have a good day.
