-{Acorn template blog hop PCS}-

Welcome to the PCS blog hop, and a special "hi" if you have come from Wendy's blog {here}

This month's template from the Paper Crafters Sampler is to make a shaped pocket to put a gift in (you can purchase it {here}. The original template is to make an acorn shape, however I had a play and came up with this strawberry.

The template is really easy to use, just print it out on the wrong side of the patterned paper or cardstock, cut it out, decorate and stick together.  I used the Square Lattice Folder to give it some texture, and cut leaves from the Leaves Sizzix die (which is retiring this month).  The flower is made from the 5 petal flower punch (also retiring) and the centre from the Boho Blossom punch. I added the seeds with the white gel pen from Stampin' Up!

Pegs again!

I've been busy in my craft room making packets of pegs to sell at upcoming Christmas craft events.  These cute pegs are also proving a hit in workshops.

On Saturday I'll be having a peg making extravaganza at my house.  You have 1 hour from the moment you arrive to decorate as many as you can for only £5!  Arrive any time between 10am and 11.30am.

Peg gift idea...

Here are some humble wooden pegs glammed up with some Chearful Treat Designer Series Paper.  This pack of papers are in the exclusive hostess section of the new catalogue, which you can earn for FREE when you hold a workshop in your home, book one with me now :)

NOEL - Christmas Decor

Yes, it will soon be that time of year!
I've already seen some Christmas decorations hanging up in a supermarket.

Thought it would be nice to decorate some letters with Stampin' Up! paper and accessories.  They measure 5 inches tall and would look great propped on a mantelpiece.

If you would like to do a class where we make these - there will be another designer paper options like the nostalgic Holly Berry Bouquet...

and Flirtatious

and Cheerful Treat

We will also make a card to match

If you would like to do a set of letters please book a place ASAP, as I need to order the letters in.

The cost of the class is £14 and will include the materials and 4 wooden letters.

You can order additional letters if you would like to continue making them at home, they cost £1.50 each.
