Hi, hope you are well and the weather isn't causing you too many problems. We had some rain this morning, but i doubt if it will have made much difference to how dry the soil is after all the hot weather.
I have been doing a fair bit of crafting lately, both clean and messy, just how I like it - all mixed up, just like me!!
It was my lovely friend and Stampin' Up! buddy, Sara Rayner's birthday last week so I made her a card using some of the goodies from the Expressions in Ink Suite. The designer series paper is absolutely stunning and as much as it hurt to cut into it, I know Sara will appreciate my pain so I allowed myself to cut it. My other paper stroker friends will get this, LOL.
Our little Stampin' Up! team meeting was lovely as always and here are the projects we made. The little box is so sweet, isnt it? We were joined by my new team member too which was fab.Just look at the embossing on the card fronts, I might just have to put the Ornate Floral 3D folder in my next order...
We do swaps in our team too which is great as the ladies are so talented and we get to see different ideas and products we might not think of getting. Its so strange, no matter how many times I scour the catalogue, I still miss things I NEED. Here are the swaps we made.
We used a sketch to give us a starting point for our designs. I have never done this before and I was surprised how much easier it was to have a starting point instead of a blank card. I'll definitely use a sketch again.

Stampin' Up! have also brought out a range of lovely and very reasonably priced kits (with or without stamps) so regardless of how you craft, you can grab some beautifully coordinated kits to make quick sets of cards. Here are the
kits on my website.
That's the clean stuff, so here are the messy crafts I have been up to.
I had my first one-to-one Powertex Workshop a few weeks ago which was FABULOUS! Lots of fun, putting the world to rights and crafting too. She made a brilliant job of decorating the box she brought with her, in fact she enjoyed it so much she came back the day after to finish it off!
I also made this plaque during our workshop so I could demonstrate some techniques.
I have some door plaques on my craft tables at the moment which are waiting for me to add the colour.
Fancy a coffee and craft natter on Friday 18th or 25th June at 2pm? Let me know
ASAP and I will email you the Zoom link.
Whats on your craft table...?
