Razzleberry Splash Workshop

Last weekend I held an all day Stampin' Up! workshop for a lovely group of ladies, it was lovely to welcome Edina and Emma to their first workshop. We made several projects throughout the day using the Razzleberry Splash Simply Scrappin' kit this lovely A5 tin filled with cards was the favourite project of the day.

The ladies had their own goody bags containing everything needed to make the projects and more!

These are some of the cards from my tin, I added sentiments to my cards as I wanted to complete my set but most of the ladies made up a selection of of sentiments that could be added to their cards when needed.

We used the exclusive Stampin' Up! Sizzix envelope die to make the mini envelope with vellum card, this contains an assortment of sentiments.

The morning soon whizzed by as we enjoyed delicious home baked cookies and cake while crafting - "what a perfect day"!!  Of course we had to stop for lunch and probably another coffee break or two. If you would like to join the next workshop contact me for more details.  

I'm sure this tin filled with cards will make a lovely gift although I think I will be holding on to mine!! It is always lovely to see how different everyone's projects turn out and next time I will take a few pictures to share before the end of the workshop.   I will share the remaining projects from the workshop next time.

Stampin' Up Papillon Potpourri

I have been busy working my way through a a long list of cards I have orders for, in the hope I will finish them early so I can make a good start on my teacher gifts, organised?! I hope to be!!

This is a pretty card using the lovely Papillion Potpourri stamp set with the co-ordinating punches, I used my Stampin' Up! markers to colour the butterflies, adding some tiny pearls at the top of the wings. I love the flower trim in the Spring & Summer catalogue, it's perfect for adding a little colour to with the marker pens - I hope we will see this in the new catalogue in July, if not I know I will need to add an extra pack to my order. The sentiment was created on my computer.

• Papillon Potpourri 
• Butterfly punches
• Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
• Basic pearls
• Subtles designer series paper stack

Card Keeper

This is a project I first saw on Pinterest and in an effort to be more organised this year I decided to make one to keep the many cards I make in one place ready to send.

I changed the measurements to fit the Stampin' Up! envelopes I used and I decided on a worn vintage look to the card keeper by using Crumb Cake & Soft Suede ink to distress the edges of the paper.

The dividers were made using many different stamp sets, colouring the word I wanted for my title with a marker pen.

• First Edition Speciality designer papers
• Cumb Cake
• Vintage Brads, Linen Thread, Seam Binding, Crochet Trim
• Small Oval & Four Frames punch

Hearts A Flutter

This is another project I made earlier in the year but not got around to sharing, I fuound this set of drawers for £4 in Sainsburys - bargain & they were perfect for altering.  I painted them cream & lightly sanded the edges to give a worn finish, then I rubbed some crumb cake ink along the edge to accentuate the worn finish.

This is the top of the drawers, decorated with the gorgeous Artisan Embellishment kit.

Lucy has now claimed ownership of the drawers!!
