-{honoured and inspired}-

A few weeks ago Melanie Schulenberg of Pockets of Inspiration blog asked me to join Creative Take design team for the Paper Crafters Sampler (PCS).  The PCS is a monthly online magazine for Stampin' Up! customers and demonstrators packed full of ideas and inspiration using SU products.  Included in the magazine is a template to make a 3D object designed by Melanie.  My role is to have a play with the template and make something to inspire different uses of it.  I feel very honoured to have been asked and look forward to lots of inspiration and hopefully being able to inspire you.

"The June issue of the Sampler offers ideas to bring back the basics of letter writing. The "Penned Post" issue offers an abundance of stationary kits and elegant cards to script your thoughts and get back into the beautiful world of letter writing."

If you would like a copy (electronic) of June's Paper Crafters Sampler then click {here}

The template in the issue is to make a ink well holder - so my job was to see what else it could be used for.  So I've created a little gift box for a nail gift set.  There is enough room for a small bottle of nail varnish, some varnish remover, cotton buds and nail files.




The paper I have used is from the currently available (until stocks last) Everyday Enchantment.

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.

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

please let me know if you would be interested.





If you have any questions about the stamps or techniques I have used, please leave a comment, thanks for visiting.

Floral Birthday

Gave this card to my friend today, so I can put it on here! I love making a sheet of my own "patterned paper" and then using it in different ways to create different cards.

Lots of flowers...

on these cards!
I love creating beautiful backgrounds with these floral stamps.

Just had delivery of my first ever order as a demo.  The stamps etc. are all bagged up ready to go to their new homes to be played with!  I bought myself the set of Regals ink pads.  I must say I am impressed with the quality, and that combined with the Very Vanilla cardstock which is so smooth and seems to just take the ink so well - I am very please with the results.

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.
