-{passion for grey pt 1}-

Loving the Basic Grey at the moment.  Have you noticed?
Found this lovely card  >here < by Monica, and was so inspired I got playing.
I stamped some flowers from the Green House Garden stamp set, they were a bit too large for the effect I wanted, so I cut a spiral into them and rolled them up.



I think this is the first time I have inked up this stamp from the Green House Garden set, I completely bypassed it! Will be using it a lot more now!



Can you see the little green flowers have a slight suede texture?  By scrunching and roughing the flower up (punched from cardstock), you can then separate the layers, so not only do you get 2 for the price of 1, but a lovely texture.

Christmas on my mind...

Last week was a busy Christmas week.  I held the NOEL letters class at my house twice, and been making the odd Christmas themed card.  Here is one I cased from Julie's blog HERE.


Been playing with my new Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder - I love it, it's so luxurious! It turns plain card into something quite lovely.

Mini Butterfly notecards and notebook

It's been a busy few days! I had a class at home on Saturday morning followed by an Open House for anyone wanting to know more or buy Stampin Up products.  I had some lovely friends through who have been so supportive of what I'm doing.  Also dear husband took all 4 children out for the morning so I could concentrate!

The class was similar to the one I taught last week.  Had a slight panic when I realised I didn't have enough cream cardstock for one of the cards, so we used a different colour, came out quite well!


Then last night I had a play with the Beautiful Butterflies Die (114507).  I made some tiny notecards, the kind that you would slip in a parcel to someone, no envelope needed.  Made a little bag for them using this tutorial here that I saw someone else use on the In Love with Stamping forum.

This is a mini notebook, isn't it adorable! Wouldn't it make a sweet party favour for a little girl - and only a few pence to make.


Used about 4 sheets of white printer paper to cut all the butterflies, and Certainly Celery Card stock to create the front and back page.  Stamped an image from the Green House Garden Set then used the Cropodile to cut through them in 2 lots. Tied it together with some Pear Pizazz seam binding.

Green House garden and more...

These are some of the other things we made last night.  I showed the ladies how to do the two step stamping, and they all oooed and aaahed over how to use the Stampamajig!

We also made a personalised notebook.  Used the Fun Flowers die to cut the flowers, sponged the edges with basic black and "cupped" the circle with the end of a pencil and stuck it on with 2 dimensionals.  The ladies had great fun with the Stampin wheel to make a background which I then cut up for them to use.
