-{Jubilee Bunting}-

Hi all, sorry I have not got around to posting a video this last weekend.

I was away at a ladies conference in Swanwick in Derbyshire.  A few weeks ago a lady from church who is one of the organisers sidled up to me and asked if I would be willing to run a workshop.  

The conference was attended by approximately 200 ladies who were their for fun and fellowship, spiritual and physical food and to enjoy the lovely surroundings of the conference centre.  As the "Word for Women" conference were celebrating their 50th anniversary they though it would be nice to make some bunting.  

So, the ladies taking part were given 7 pennants, 7 white circles and 7 scalloped circles.  They could choose whatever word or phrase they wanted.  They all seemed to have a chilled and creative time... please comment below if you were there!

{Dove of Peace stamp - Grungy style}

Ok, so this card was a bit of an experiment, so instead of filming the making of it I've had to explain the steps. I love how it turned out, and it was fun raiding my stash of stamps to find patterns for the background, they included... Everything Eleanor, Perpetual Birthday Calendar, Butterfly Basics, Kinda Eclectic, Gorgeous Grunge and Dove of Peace

This stamp is so pretty and lovely to work with.  If you love spending some time colouring in, you'll love the detail on it.  It's available on wood mount and has a lovely Bible verse sentiment on it too, I have actually cut the sentiment and the dove apart and mounted just the dove so I can use the two elements separately. 

I'm loving the new Fine Tip Glue Pen. It's great for adding a glossy accent to detailed stamps. It's going to be available from Sept 1st.

Covered theses notebooks with Whisper White Cardstock that I had stamped.  Got a production line going as I found that I could cut 4 from an A4 piece of card, so I stamped the whole sheet then cut afterwards.

Keyring magic!

Made this keyring using various stamps, Stazon ink and shrink plastic.  Don't forget to punch a hole in the plastic before you heat it, the large hole of the Cropadile is perfect.  

I made a box for it to go in, and covered it with a strip of the gorgeous paper available with ther Saleabration offer, and made a flower with the Blossom Party Die.  If you look closely you can see the flower is edged with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.

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.

More Everything Eleanor...

I'm enjoying playing with this set, you can create such lovely background papers for cards with it.

The beautiful Everything Eleanor...

This is one of the new sets in the current catalogue, I ordered it along with 2 other stamp sets that I had earned from meeting my Stampin Start target in my first 3 months.

That is one of the great things about Stampin Up, they reward hard work - although it doesn't really feel like hard work when I'm creating and sharing great products with my friends, and making new friends too!

This month is a great month to sign up as you will get an additional New Colours kit, worth £27.95, click here for more info about becoming a demonstrator.

Jewellery workshop results

I had the pleasure for teaching a lovely group of ladies on Friday.  We made jewellery using Shrink plastic and some Stampin' Up' stamps.  Managed to get a photo of one of the creations.
