One Sheet Wonder

I love this technique of taking a blank sheet and using your stamps and inks to create a unique piece of patterned paper .

 

I have used these three gorgeous colours, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Wisteria Wonder.

 

 

I then randomly stamped using the sets, Secret Garden, Papaya Collage and Petit Petals.

 

We created three projects including the pop up box card which is all over Pinterest at the moment.

 

 

As the box card is quite tricky I wanted to keep the other two projects nice and simple. 

 

The measurement and putting the box together can be quite tricky and all my class were not confident with making one of these back at home so I created this short tutorial.

Telford Regional Training

What a busy weekend I have had!

 Last Saturday was regional training with 300 other Stampin Uppers.  It was a great day meeting up with other Demo's sharing ideas, swapping projects and just having a day of crafting fun.

 

 

I was lucky enough to win one of the prize patrols and the fact that it was Project Life was even better I cant wait to see this in the new catalogue .

 

 No Peeking all will be revealed through out May xx

Frozen Party

The new Disney animation Frozen has caused quite a stir in our house, we have watched it I don't know how many times and the soundtrack is either being played or sung by one of the girls.

Chloe's friend had a Frozen themed party at the weekend and I was asked to come up with something for them all to create.

I knew a face painter was coming along and the faces that she creates are amazing, so I thought it would be nice for the children to have something to keep the pictures from this special day in.

I decorated a box from for them to put a picture in from the day, it was full of icicles, shimmer, sparkle and rhinestones.

Just the ticket for a Disney party.

 

We stamped the Smokey Slate background paper with the Silver Metallic Encore Pad using the Festive Flurry, I didn't think I would be getting this set out in the middle of May!

We then stamped and die cut more of the snowflake images to decorate around the photograph.

We finished off with some dazzling diamonds sparkle and lots of Rhinestones.

 

Supplies Used:

 

Stamps:  Festive Flurry

Ink: Encore Metallic Pad

Paper:  Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Costal Cabana

Embellishments:  Rhinestones

Accessories:  Festive Flurry Dies

Tidy Up Time

My craft space had got into a bit of a pickle and needed some essential TLC.

So today was the day as I needed to get organised and sort out all of my mismatched paper,  embellishments and all of the items that haven't seen daylight for the last 12 months because they at the back of the cupboard.

 

I eventually finished and I am sooo pleased with the finished result.

 

 

Now for some organised crafting!

Another Friday with my Painswick ladies, no husbands this week.

As I had run a Daisy inspired class that week I decided to run this with my Friday ladies as well although I simplified the card slightly. 

They all enjoyed the class and were pleased with their finished cards although one lady wanted to see more pink so that colour is definitely on the colour scheme for this weeks class.

 

Here is the card we created.

 

 

Supplies Used:

Inks:  Sahara Sand, Old Olive

Stamps:  Gorgeous Grunge, Secret Garden

Paper:  Natural White, Whisper White, Baked Brown Sugar, Gold Foil Sheet
