{Bloomin Love!}

Happy Valentines Day!

I hope that whatever your love life is like you are living a life of gratitude and contentment.  I am very grateful for the love of a wonderful family and friends, but above all, each day I know and live in the love God shows me.

Here are a couple of cards I made a few weeks ago.  Thought it would be appropriate to share them today!

Here is a video with an explanation of how I made them.

{Hello my friend}

Showing off another Saleabration set, this time the "Hello" set that has lots of lovely sentiments.  So simple to jazz up with some florals and some bling.

-{Snowflake pop-up box card}-

After I watched Monica Gale's tutorial which can be found {here}I just had to have a go making this pop-up box card. The instructions were really great, and the technique is so adaptable.

It's a fab way to make a really special, attention grabbing card.

I've used the Festive Flurry stampset and Framelits Dies and the Winter Frost Speciality DSP.  The sentiment is from the Christmas Messages stamp set, all the items can be ordered through me.  I've accented with the Glitter card and Basic Rhinestones.

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 :)

Welcome Christmas...

...in August! I know a lot of Stampin' Up! demonstrators are way ahead of me and already held Christmas in July events.  I'm afraid I wasn't that organised, however I have made a start.  Here are some cards using the beautiful and nostalgic Welcome Christmas set.

My current favourite way to add the special finish to a card is the pearls and crystals, they are a great quality.  The only things I have to be careful of is that they don't ping off the backing paper into oblivion when I try to get them off!

I'll soon be arranging dates for a

Christmas in September Class
