Everything Eleanor Feels the Heat

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your lovely kind comments about my bag and cards yesterday.  It means so much.

Today's card was a bit of a rush job, my lovely friend Meg had a knee replacement and has been very down since, so I decided a bit of cheering up was in order.

I also have some new stamps that I was just dying to ink up .........

Everything Eleanor and I love lace background stamp.  Initially I didn't want either of these stamps.  But they have grown on me and now I love them and couldn't wait to use them.

I stamped the I love lace stamp with versamark and heat embossed with Pool Party.    I then matted and layered crushed curry and old olive card stock.  The lovely flourish is from Everything Eleanor and this was again heat embossed with crushed curry.  The flowers were heat embossed in Pool Party.

Again, this is a colour combination that I found using my Colour Coach.  So an amazing tool. I love it.

These are the products that I used.  Just click any of them and you will be taken to the shop.

A bag of loveliness .......... says something the Stampin Up way.

Morning everyone. I am here with some more inspiration for you using the lovely Stampin Up products.

In today's post

• A bag of loveliness
• Greetings for everyone
• Its been three years ......

A bag of loveliness

Earlier in the year I went to Stampin Up Regional training, and had an absolute blast.  Met up with all my lovely team mates and friends from other Stampin Up teams from all over the UK.  It was amazing.

During the day we got to try lots of new products, play and experience them just like you do as customers.  We also got to do a make and take, designed by the lovely Julie, just like you guys do when you have an in-house workshop.  It was great fun.

So for this month's class I decided to alter that make and take slightly, but to still use the basic concept.

Here's what we came up with.  Its using Say Something stamps combined with the Itty Bitty Punches and the artisan label punch, and love lace embossing folders.

So how did I get the colours?  Well I decided to step out of my comfort zone and used the colour coach to choose my first colour.  This was crushed curry. 

The base of the bag and the notelets is Crumb Cake.  I love this colour.

I teamed the crushed curry with pumpkin Pie as well.

Added in some very vanilla embossed card fronts

and stamped and punched

to create 5 notelets with matching envelopes 

perfect for Thank you's, birthdays or any other occasion.

This is all from one stamp set and a set of matching punches.  

How cute are they?  

Do you want to be able to create these?  Yes, If you would like to purchase the class by post, please email or call me and I can arrange to do that.  In the class kit you get everything you need to make these lovely cards.

Free Greetings 

You know you could recreate my class project using the fantastic free stamp set that we have on offer at the moment.

Its got lovely sayings, something for everyone and every special event of the year.  Giving thanks, telling someone they are special, and some of the ones that are just timeless and for any thing.  You know those days when you know someone needs a lift and a hand made card is just the thing.

So remember to get this set all you need to do is host a party/workshop where the orders total £200/€300 or place a single order yourself of the same amount.  

Whats even better is you also get the normal hostess benefits as well, so its win win.  You get extra just for saying YES to a party or placing an order.

To order online simply click SHOP WITH ME in the top left hand corner. 

To book a party or workshop, if you live in Devon, Somerset, Dorset or Cornwall then please email or call me.  All details can be found at the top of the blog.

As I said yesterday, I recently realised I have been blogging three years.  That's quite a long time and I wanted to share and celebrate with you.

From tomorrow there will be lots of special offers coming your way, but you need to check back every day to see what they are and how you get them.  

Ok.  Right, I'm so excited and so looking forward to seeing you guys tomorrow.

Hope you enjoyed today's make.

Thanks for stopping by.

Modern Mosaic gets punched and embossed

Hi everyone.

Wow, where did summer go?  I think I blinked and missed it ........ I just cannot believe its September already.  Kids are back to school and college and normal life has resumed.

During the summer holidays I did some extra one to one classes with a few ladies and these are the makes from one of those sessions.

We used, modern mosaic stamps, embossing folder and punch.  Teamed with Love labels and matching punch.

Isn't this one gorgeous ....... its in early espresso  .......... no really Mum, this is brown not Black !!

The gorgeous love label and chevron ribbon just finish this of beautifully.

Tape it, meets modern mosaic - love this one so cute.  Hello honey and strawberry slush. I have also used the now retired occasions alphabet set  for the sentiment.  Finished the whole thing off with some lovely sparkly jewels. 

And how about this one - using the label punch and splitting them to create backgrounds.  I used the chevron embossing folder to create texture on this one before adding modern mosaic centres and those gorgeous itty bitty butterflies.  Cute.  

We had a lovely day at class an the ladies really enjoyed themselves.

If you would like some lessons or some crafty time with your friends and would like to do something similar then please get in contact to arrange a date and time.

I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

There is some exciting news coming tomorrow - I am just finalising my plans, so please check back then to see.
