July's technique class available online:

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I gave you the option to purchase my One Sheet Wonder class online.  This was held on Saturday morning and was great fun.

In the afternoon we used the same stamp set but did a Wet Wipe Technique Class.  Such good fun, who knew wet wipes were for more then cleaning babies bottoms!!!

Anyway here's the mock up shots of the class.  You can get the full kit including the stamp set in either clear or wood mount by giving me an email.

 Card 1 is an easel card the front is above and inside is below

Next was the gorgeous window pane effect card

and lastly the floating butterflies

All three are using wet wipes to create effects.

If you would like to be able to do this class in the comfort of your own home please email me:

  

craftybirdlisa@gmail.com  or call 07823 883769

and I will dispatch the kit to you.  The cost is £18.95* for the clear mount Kit and £22.95* for the wood mount kit.  It includes all card stock etc you need to be able to make these cards.

*There is p&p on all orders.

You will need to have the butterfly and Bird builder punch in your own stash.  Or you can order these at the same time.  You can either use the scallop circle punches to cut your flowers or fussy cut these.

You can combine both classes (yesterday's and todays) and make one payment and only pay one lot of postage.

I look forward to hearing for you and as always love getting your comments.  Its means so much.

Take care

Do you believe ......................

Everyone once in a while you come across a stamp set that whittles its way into your affections.  The stamp I have used today is one of these such stamps.

I am a firm believer that if you want something bad enough, and that if you work hard enough for it, you will eventually get it, and this stamp just sums that up beautifully.

I have a great friend (Via FB) whose little girl Abi, has just taken her Grade 2 Ballet Exam.   I know from her mum the blood sweat and tears that went into the practice and more practice, right up until the day of the exam.

Abi looked gorgeous in her Mum's photos, and so I made her this card to wish her luck and to let her know that I was thinking of her.

The stamp says

"She believed she could and so she did."

This is of course from the Feel Goods set. Its so versatile. I will admit I was delighted to see it in the new catalogue, I would have been heartbroken to have had to part with it.

 Heres the front/inside view

From the very front

 and with the matching envelope

Isn't it pretty.  I have combined Crisp Canteloupe, with white card stock for the card, and have made the layers stand out by distress inking the edges.  The envelope is Baked Brown Sugar, and was handmade to match the card using the Envelope Punch Board.  The flowers are all crisp cantaloupe and have been stamped using the Flower Shop set and punched out using the pansy punch.  The little green leaves are using the petit petals punch and the long leaves on the card are from the bird punch.  I finished it off with a few glimmer gold hearts.

Hi everyone.

How are you all today?  Cant believe its a couple of days since I last posted.  Sorry for that but I have been busy in the craft room and time just seems to run away with me.

Thank everyone so much who left such kind comments on my Facebook pages, my google + pages and of course here on the blog over the last few weeks.  I am truly grateful.

So todays lovely card is a ladies' blouse card.

Its very similar to the shirt card, but has a scooped neckline instead of the collars.

Don't you just love this paper ...........

Yes, so do I.  Its such a pretty colour - Crisp Canteloupe - reminds me of ice cold melon to nibble on a summer's day.

I finished it off with the gorgeous lace and some of the retiring in colour decorations.  

The inside was die cut using the labels dies and then stamped using the gorgeous Memorable Moments Stamp Set.  

And don't forget we still have all these great offers this week

A little decoration??????

Hi guys

Are you one of those people who always want to add that wonderful finishing touch to any gifts.  You have wrapped them perfectly, but you feel that a flat gift tag is just not good enough .........

Well here's the answer, whether it's Xmas, birthdays, christenings etc etc this tag will fit the bill perfectly.

I first found it on Pinterest here and fell in love with it.

I was also asked to do a 5 minute WOW at regional training and decided that this was perfect.

Here's the gorgeous item:

Closed Tag

Open tag

To make this gorgeous tag I used Whispher White cardstock, Crisp Canteloupe card stock, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink Pad, Blushing Bride ribbon and the Happy Day stamp set.

I have used this tag lots and it has always had the wow factor.

If you're local to me and would like to hold a workshop in your home, why not email or call me to book and we could incorporate this into your workshop.

I can supply all items for you to make this delightful project, just give me a call or drop me an email.

Hugs
