Here is a picture of the 6" x 6" scrapbook page I made - the other ladies used the same template but made a card front instread of the scrapbook page.  We covered a few techniques, Water Splash Stamping, Kissing and Kissing with a Twist.

This is the Technique Booklet each person gets for taking part in the club.  The booklet is plain so it can be decorated in any way you like.  There are about 4 pages in the booklet to start with but more pages are added as the club goes on and its a great way of reminding you how to do various techniques.

Simply Said

It was my Sister In Laws birthday the other week (I am not going to give her age away!) and I used the template from my Hubbies wedding anniversary card to make an unusual card blank.

The I stamped out the flowers and then used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to overlay the first image with the darker colour then cut them out.  I raised some of the flowers on dimentionals to give some depth. 

The butterflies were stamped with Pixie Pink ink, dots of glue applied and then Rose Pink Fine Cosmo Glitter was sprinkled on top.  Once dry, I punched the butterflies out and secured using dimentionals.

Recipe

Carstock - Gable Green, Pixie Pink, Whisper White

Ink - Pretty in Pink, Pixie Pink.

Stamps - Simply Said, Sincere Salutations, Flight of the Butterfly

Punches - Oval Scallop, LArge Oval, Butterfly, Eyelet Border

Accessories - Rose Pink Fine Cosmo Glitter, Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon. 

Wheely Good Weekend

Hi there!

Just had a fantastic class using Stampin' Around wheels.  We looked at three different techniques, general rolling, making backgrounds and mitred cornering.  We used a selection of different wheels to see the different effects you can get when creating backgrounds.

The butterflies are glittered - not sure if you can see it too well on the photo.  I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to align the plain butterfly and butterfly flower images, then put dots of Tombow glue on the tiny flowers and sprinkled glitter on the glue dots for a bit of bling.

Recipe;

Cardstock - Chocoloate Chip, Whisper White

Ink - Chocolate Chip, Bashfull Blue

Stamp set - Flight of the Butterfly

Stampin' Around Wheels - Forever Flowers, Leaves A La Carte

Punches - Eyelett Border, Butterfly Punch
Accessories -, Chocolate Chip Double Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Dazzling Diamonds & Light Blue Fine Cosmo Glitter
Non SU - die cut oval for top of tissue box

Here are my brilliant crafting buddies - Abby, Kim, Anne & Jean.  Thank you ladies for a fantastic morning, I loved every minute - hope you had a good time too!!!

Its the first time I have used this venue and was a little worried, but there was no need - its fab.  I have booked the next two months classes and I am also thinking of starting a monthly crop - so if you are interested in joining, please email me and I will start the ball rolling.

Hope you have a lovely weekend in the sunshine!
Thanks
