I love this little card I am sharing with you today. Ladies, at my May Stamp Camp had a chance to make this as part of their projects. It also uses the stamp set Butterfly Basics – which has become a firm favorite of mine.
EOS Lip Balm Boxes
I spend a lot of time researching ideas on the internet, whether it be for my classes, gifts, items I make for craft sales or just for a personal challenge.
I love to make boxes and when I came across this idea from Sam Donald (UK Stampin’ Up demonstrator) I was inspired, dropped everything and went and made one! It was sooooo cute so when one of the ladies who come to my classes bought along a friend to a class – well she got one too!
‘Crazy About You’ Anniversary
‘Crazy about You’ is the perfect title for a stamp set used for an anniversary card. I made this card in May for the wedding anniversary for the couple whose husband was our best man at our wedding.
I chose to make the card in Cherry Cobbler and Gold as those were their wedding colors back in 2006.
Rose Red Butterfly Wishes
I seemed to have been focusing on certain colors at the moment, my hand seems to be drawn to Sahara Sand as well as Rose Red.
This card was inspired by a video by Dawn Griffin and Shelli Gardner and uses a heat embossed resist technique. My ladies got to make this one at a recent Stamp Camp.
May Stamp Set of the Month ~ Lovely Amazing You
May kits were delivered last week, each of the packs contained the supplies to make 4 completely different cards with the Lovely Amazing You Stamp set (this month the kit also included a bottle of Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details) . My kits contain printed recipes with diagrams and photographs as well as a video tutorial for each project
Painted Petals Birthday Card
This is the final chance to get your hands on this really pretty stamp set ~ Painted Petals’ I have featured it on a number of posts and it retires on June 2nd!
Multi~paneled using Flowering Flourishes and Everything Eleanor ~ Video
This multi- paneled card was one of the projects for my April Card Class. It starts with a piece of cardstock 12 x 12 and thru scoring and folding its finished size in 6 x 6.
I was asked if I would make a video to describe how to make one……………
Memorial Day Keepsakes
Wishing everyone a Happy Memorial Day. My own dear Pops was in the Royal Air Force for over 30 years and served in some areas of conflict over those years. In the UK, we commemorate the sacrifice of Commonwealth servicemen and women on November 11th (Armistice Day)
I encourage all my lovely customers to do show and tell and during a class last week, one of them presented me with these she had made for a luncheon for a club she belongs to.
Painted Blooms Thank you’s
I made a few thank you cards for my ladies last month. The focal point was the Painted Bloom DSP from Stampin’ Up! (which is about to retire) In fact this little card is a homage to a number of products that are on Stampin’ Up’s retirement list ~ I shall miss them all……………………….
