Fast Friday - Week 24

Now you might think that the All Is Calm DSP from the Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue is just for Christmas, but in fact most of the designs can be used at any time of the year. And to prove it here's a card I made for a friend's recent birthday. I put this together using some left over items from other projects that I had on my craft desk - the die cut leaf and stamped image.

To make this project you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: All Is Calm DSP, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky, Old Olive ♦ Stamps: Hello There (Hostess 2014/15) ♦ Ink: Lost Lagoon ♦ Tools/Accessories: 1⅜" Circle Punch, 1¾" Scallop Circle Punch, Pistachio Pudding Thick Baker's Twine, Party Pennants Bigz L Sizzix die, Stampin' Dimensionals, Basic rhinestones

You can order from my online shop 24/7 or if you prefer contact me directly.

I now have a Facebook page, so why not like this page to be updated on regular offers and details of any classes I am running.

A la prochaine! Amitiés!

Convention 2014 Swaps

By the time you are reading this I will be in fabulous Brussels enjoying the first session of Stampin' Up!'s annual convention for European demonstrators.

When Stampin' Up! demonstrators get together they love to share ideas and so we make examples of cards and/or projects to swap with other demonstrators. So here are a couple of photos of my swaps - a card and a box. Thanks to my roomie, Clare, for helping me finish these in our hotel room last night!

The card is a stepped up version of a previous Fast Friday project. The box is just adorable and easy - the box is pre-made (you get 25 in a pack) and I just stamped snowflakes from Endless Wishes onto the box, put some chocolates inside (what else?!) and wrapped them up with some of my favourite Stampin' Up! ribbon - et voilà!

To make these projects you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Whisper White ♦ Stamps: Work of Art, Hey There Buds, A Dozen Thoughts, Endless Wishes ♦ Ink: Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Basic Black, Basic Grey, Craft White ♦ Tools/Accessories: Tiny Treat Boxes, Scalloped Edge Border Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Whisper White Organza ribbon

You can order from my online shop 24/7 or if you prefer contact me directly.

Why not come back soon when I will share some of my photos from my time in Brussels.

A la prochaine! Amitiés!
