Coffee and Card Class Nov 18

Hello Crafters,

Well Coffee and Card class on Saturday went well.  The ladies loved the card they made.  And there is a live facebook look at the day on In Depth Photos as my two youngest ladies were making their cards (well it was their mother taking the video) lol.

These are some of the beautiful cards that we made.

The Snowfall thinlits dies are simply gorgeous.  Will be using them again at card class on Wednesday at Wycombe.

Thank you for looking at my blog.

Coffee and Card Class 24 November

Hello Crafters,

If you are out and about in Wolverhamptin this weekend pop in to K Teas Cakes on St Georges Parade for a cuppa and a piece of cake, whilst there you could make a card or have your photo taken.  And you would be helping P3 charity, Helping the Homeless. What have you got to lose, a warm friendly cake shop and scrummy cakes.

Share What You Love DSP Again

Hello Crafters,

I think I saved the best till last.  Just love these two cards, they both showcase 3 of the papers from the Share What You Love DSP.  And just look at that sparkle on the card, just loving the new gems. 

And on the orange card I also used the Lovely Floral embossong folder, great for making the background stand out.

Thank you for looking at my blog.

More Share What You Love DSP

Hello Crafters,

As promised more cards made with my favourite dsp.  These cards take a bit more time as I cut out the flowers from the paper to decorate the one card.  I did cut flowers for both cards but like the pearls instead on the one card.

On these cards I use one sheet of paper and turned it over for the otherside.  This means I do not need to try and fine paper to match, they all co-ordinate so you can mix and match both sides of these papers.

This dsp pack contains 24 sheets 4 of 6 double sided designs. 12 x 12 inch papers. Just £25 a pack just two of these stunning pack of paper will qualify for a bonus day voucher.

More cards on Friday.

Thank you for looking at my blog.

Still loving the Share What You Love DSP. Its so easy to use for many different styles of cards and crafts.

Trying to see how many cards i can make with this pack lol.  The paper is so lovely, with the pearl shimmer on it, sooooo lovely.  And you get so much in one pack. 

I will share a few more cards with you on Tuesday.  And you could add a pack of this dsp to your current order and if that brings your order up to £45 you will qualify for the bonus day coupon.

Thank you for looking at my blog.

Lovely Florals Embossing Folder

Hello Crafters,

These lovely cards were made at my Coffee and Card class on Saturday at K Teas Cakes on St Georges Parade in Wolverhampton, just by the new market place in Wolverhampton that has just opened.

I tried to get the PSO's that were doing the Crime Prevention in there to have a go but they declined, they really did not know what they were missing.  Although I did walk away with a couple of items from the PSO's on Crime prevention lol.

I run the class the last Saturday of even month with the money raised going to two local charities.  So if you are in the area pop in for a cuppa and make a card, and try the lovely cakes that Katy bakes.

Thank you for looking at my blog.

Lift Me Up

Hello Crafters,

As I said on my last post I have been busy doing Coffee and Cards, card classes and Stamp-A-Stack.

These are were made in my Coffee and Card class, the ladies enjoyed the class and as you can see lots of colours were tried just to make sure they went together lol.

Found the design on Pinterest there are so many colour combinations, just loving these cards.  Can not wait to make the other designs I have found. Must make mens cards instead of girlie colours 😂

Thank you for looking at my blog.

Painted Glass

Hello Crafters,

Loving the Painted Glass bundle from Stampin' Up!.  Although I have only used one stamp from the bundle.  It so screamed Christmas to me in the red and the green but my ladies at class told me it was too early. So sorry about the Christmas ones!!!!!!

The thank you card at the bottom Angela Williams my downline made, love the colour scheme.

Again found the idea on Pinterest. Yes I am addicted to Pinterest, well what else is a girl to do when she can't sleep 😀

Statement of my Heart and Share What You Love DSP

Hello Crafters,

Sorry these are not cards I have made, they were at our monthly meet up with the lovely Michelle Last, but i wanted to show you the lovely Statement of my Heart stamp.

This lovely stamp can only be obtained FREE with the purchase of the Gotta Have It All bundle and will NOT be in the new catalogue, which is a shame as its a lovely stamp.

The DSP is amazing with the shimmer on it and cutting out the flowers might be a tad time consuming but well worth the effort when u see what u can do with them.

Thank you for looking at my blog.

Love What You Do card

Hello Crafters,

Made this card for a friend who is going through a tough time at present.  The paper is from Share What You Love dsp and I stamped the flower and coloured it in with Grapefruit Grove ink, just loving the new In Colours.

The card I stamped the flower onto is from the Delightful Details Memories and More pack.  The sequines, the self adhesive ones, they are so easy to use no more glue all over the card and there are some new ones coming in the new catalogue.

Thank you for looking at my blog.
