Gift bag and tag

Today I am sharing something from the ‘archives’ that is to say a picture I found on the computer that I haven’t shared already.  There are quite a few!

So here goes, a very simple gift bag which I embellished with the lovely gingham garden washi tape and a little coordinating melon mambo 1/8” ribbon.  The tag is made with the Five-way flower stamp and the coordinating scallop punches.  The bag contains lots of lovelies for a customer of mine bought by her Daughter as a birthday gift.

Seasonal Catalogue Blog Hop

Good morning!  No ‘Scrapbook Saturday’ today, instead I am joining in with a bloghop with some fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.  The new seasonal catalogue has been live for a while now so we are all sharing some makes with the new lovelies from that.

So you may have come here from Fiona’s blog a lovely card Fiona, with my favourite bling!

Last Wednesday I had the honour of presenting at the Creative tour event in Loughborough.  I really enjoy Stampin’ Up! events and was blown away that they asked me to do this.  The theme was ‘Makes for your Christmas events’.

One of the things I talked about was streamlining planning by using a limited bundle of product each month, so using items that co-ordinate with the Season of Style range I set to work designing.

This is a simple make and take card showcasing the ‘faux silk’ technique, I love the texture that it gives.

Secondly here is a stepped up version of the card.  I’ve added extra dimension by popping in a raised layer of textured card and some bling in the form of silver ribbon, rhinestones, and the beautiful Frosted Finishes embellishment, this is actually removable when you untie the bow.

I hope you like my project, next on the hop is Laura

Stamp a stack cards

Back in July my monthly workshop was a ‘Stamp a Stack’ session. We did 10 cards (2 different cards for 5 stamp sets) using some of the new product from the seasonal catalogue.  I don’t know how but I managed to forget to blog them so I thought I’d show you some of the cards today!  A lot of my inspiration came from the internet but as it’s a long time since I prepped for this class I don’t have my notes, if you think the design is based on one of yours let me know and I will add a link in for you :)

First up, a feminine card using Gorgeous Grunge and Chalk Talk with the coordinating dies.  The colours are Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Crushed Curry and Strawberry Slush.

 
Next up a card featuring the gorgeous Wildflower Meadow stamp and the coordinating embossing folder. I remember that this was based on a design by Vicky I changed the colours up a bit using Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe on a Whisper White base.



Today’s last card showcases lots of new product! Washi tape, candy dots, the new Lalbel Love stamp set and coordinating Artisan label punch.  I love that you can create mats by using the same punch!
