Creative Elelments Class

I'm late again with my post - this weekend has been so busy!! I will catch up through the week, don't forget there is only a week left to buy products from the Spring Mini Catalogue.

I started with a class on Friday night with a lovely group of ladies, these are the projects we made. The colours we used are Pink Pirouette, Pool Party, Basic Grey and Whisper White.

I tried out the "faux mother of pearl" technique on the Whisper White card, it looks really pretty  and works well with the flowers and butterflies from the Creative Elements stamp set.

We made a matching gift box, you can find the instructions here.

On Saturday, a training day at Leeds with Stampin' Up! mum Julie and lots of Stampin' Up! demonstrators, we had a great day with lots of gorgeous projects and inspiration and some lovely swaps from the new Summer Mini catalogue (1st May) they will certainly boost my display boards!! I will share the swaps I made using new products soon.  

I  made a  a mad dash home to go to Newcastle Arena with my lucky friend Liz (she won the tickets!) to see Youngman, Wretch 3 2 & Example - well the area bounced and maybe we are the wrong side of 40 but we had a great time!!  I think it has taken  until now to recover and feel a bit more awake but the rest of the ironing can wait until tomorrow, as I'm off for an early night!!

New Class

This morning I have a lovely group of ladies joining me for my new Friday morning class, as they will now be on their way here I know it will be "safe" for me to post this as I know they won't see it just yet!!

I decided to use a Springtime theme for this class - everyone got to take home their own Happiness Shared stamp set after the class. These stamps are a"clear" mount set,  I have found the best way to get my stamps  to cling to the block is by trimming a little of the sticker and keeping my stamps and blocks clean with some stampin' mist. A few minutes of preparation can make all the difference to your stamping.

This card is coloured with Stampin' Write markers and a blender pen. The images in the Happiness Shared stamp set make colouring simple even for a new crafter as there is shading in the areas that are darkest. The satin ribbon and card base are Certainly Celery and I added a matching flower brad with a rhinestone, the edge is punched with the Scallop Border Trim punch.

For this card a border is stamped around the edge of the card to create a frame.  This time the flowers are coloured with Stampin' Up! watercolour pencils, they have lovely soft leads in them and Whisper White card is so smooth I used a flat tipped cotton bud to blend and smooth the colour together. The sentiment is form the Curly Cute stamp set.

This card is a really quick and simple design, but the addition of the Black card really makes this one "pop".  

This is the matching "gable" box - they are really easy to make and are a useful size too.

This is the gift box and card together.

All of the projects together.  

I hope I have provided enough inspiration for the class an everyone leaves inspired by their new stamp set.

If you would like to join my Friday morning class I have a couple of spare places next time - email me to find out more details.
