Scallop Tag Topper punch box

At Stamp Club tonight we made these cute boxes using the scallop tag topper punch. I got the idea from Carole Parsons' blog, thanks for the inspiration.

I used the Beautifully Baroque stamp set on Daffodil Delight card, with the butterfly from Papillion Potpourri and also the Beautiful Wings embosslits, and some retired ribbon.The cute Easter chicks were from my fave shop for chocolate, Aldi!

Hope you like it!

Wow, been a long time!

Why hello again!

It's been a long time since I posted on here, and to be honest I was losing myself on Facebook instead! But it's about time I set aside some hours to post my stamping news and ideas etc.
I recently had the privilege of promoting to Manager with Stampin' Up!, and I'm really looking forward to going to the Leadership day at Convention. I'd like to thank my small team of ladies for helping me get there xxx it's always fun catching up with you all and crafting.

I've just finished the last Friday of the month Christmas Card Club with two new girls, Anne and Jill, they had a good time making these two cards with me (we made four of each), so much so that they're coming back next month! Glad you had a good time ladies! The card on the left was CASEd from Angie Leach - Too Cool Stamping, thanks for the inspiration Angie. The other design was also spotted on SplitCoast - what a wonderful resource that is. I've got some more clubbers coming tonight so I'm off to do some more cutting, but I'll be back sooner than last time lol!

craft class returns

What a lovely time we had making these male oriented cards this morning. Thanks ladies for joining me, it was good to see you again after the Christmas break to get back into the swing of things. We made three cards, the Island Indigo and black one was inspired by a Paper Angels swap with Carolyn Lindenmeyer *thanks Carolyn!*
The bottom left card has some of the new Cherry Cobbler embossing powder on the Medallion background stamp. I love the way this looks on a darker card stock, it really lifts the image.
The next class will be on the 1st Tuesday in February at 9.30, at the I Love Coffee shop at Red Edge, please let me know if you can come so that I have enough material cut for you. Seeing as it will be nearly valentines day we will probably make a project for the special people in our lives.

embossed butterflies

I've been meaning to scrap this photo for the last four years!! It was at Liv's first birthday. That's what I love about scrapbooking, you don't have to be obsessive about it, just wait until the right papers and images come along that match your photo. I love this DSP from Stampin' Up!, its called "Blueberry Crisp" and blends well with Marina Mist card stock. The butterflies are cut from the exclusive Big Shot die "Beautiful Butterflies", and the stamped butterfly image is from the new Sale-a-bration set "Bliss". I stamped the flower image from "RazzleDazzle" in Whisper White, and embossed it with a mixture of white embossing powder and turquoise glitter, which is a bit hard to see but looks really pretty. You can get a FREE sale-a-bration set by spending $100, and if you have a qualifying workshop too you can get extra free sets. Check out the link to my web page to find out more.
