{Sponged Birthday Blooms}

A couple of weeks ago I ran a class for children.  i introduced them to the idea of using a colour wheel, then set them challenges through out the class to use different combinations.  Here is the card I made with them to show what choosing 3 opposite colours would look like.

-{Launching... One Sheet Wonder Wednesday}-

I had another one of my bright ideas... and like all of my bright ideas I have to asses it and think through how feasible it is for me to sustain.  This one passed the test...so far.

As you know I love sharing what I do creatively, however, committing to blog posts etc can be hard work as they do take time.  However this idea, I am hoping won't take too much time, as after this post I won't be explaining it in so much detail.

Each Wednesday I will post a video of me stamping onto an A4 sheet of card using the fab stamps and inks from Stampin' Up! I'm not planning to have too much of a plan, it's more sharing with you a creative process and seeing where it goes.

This week took a little longer to get sorted as I discovered I could edit videos on YouTube.  The original film was sixteen minutes long!  Managed to whittle it down to under eight...I hear you breath a sigh of relief!

Here is the film...

So I don't spoil the ending I am going to leave a gap before the next photo.

Simply Stampin' Challenge 25

Tis week on Simply Stampin they gave us this sketch...

This is what I made.  Given you a bit more of a sneak peek at the new products coming out next month.  Have you noticed that I really love the butterfly stamp?  Using the blender pens to colour it in, I can make it match any card I am making.

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.

Stamps

Four Frames and Silhouette Sentiments

Card

Certainly Celery, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie.

Paper

Designer Series Paper - Pumpkin Pie

Inks

Old Olive

Tools

Decorative Label Punch, Beautiful Butterflies Die

Other

Dimensionals

 
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.
