Library Classes

I have recently done some classes at the local libraries to introduce ladies and one gentleman to cardmaking.  I kept the designs simple as I knew some would not have made cards before.  I have blogged similar designs before but thought this was a good 'set'.

I found my daisy card holder at Myer.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Thankyou

I have been very busy lately, preparing for classes tomorrow and also filling Christmas card orders.  I am wondering if I'll get time to make my own!  Maybe next week.

I made this pressie for Zac's piano teacher.  We had been given a tin of delicious choccies, which we had finished, but I kept the tin because of its unusual shape.
.

A bit of DSP and some ribbon go a long way to dress it up.

And on top, a flower made with the Scallop Circle Punch.  And I filed it with....delicious choccies.

I also made some gift tags in a co-ordinating pack.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday

One of the pluses of being a demonstrator is that I have access to card designs on our Stampin' Up! website.  This design is one that can easily be demonstrated in a workshop to highlight a whole bunch of products.  Don't you love the stamp sets that co-ordinate with the punches?  This stamp set was one we received FREE at convention.

Jolly Holly

This is one of my stamp-a-stack designs which is so easy to put together.  The Jolly Holly DSP is gorgeous and co-ordinates beautifully with Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler - whatever did we do without Cherry Cobbler??
 The Christmas sentiment is from the Perfect Punches set.

And if you have little strips of paper left over, these can be lined up for this design.

The Designer Series Papers make it so easy to put together simple but stunning cards.  These are made using the new In Colors and the Perfect Punches stamp set.  The flowers are from Punch Potpourri, one of the Level One hostess sets.  Both these stamp sets have co-ordinating punches which means cards are assembled in a snap!
