Another Best Route Shirt Card

Hi there! I am back today with another version of the Shirt card I shared with you on Wednesday. This one was my original design and then I decided to step it up with the tie.
 For this design I used the Metallic Pearls as buttons instead of a tie. Very effective I think and easy to administer using the new Take your Pick tool!

 Here you can see what the card looks like opened with a small space to write inside, or if you want to write a big greeting you can always write on the back of the card.
 Thank you to those of you who have used my code this month so far! I am looking forward to treating you to some goodies!

Best Route Double Z Fold Card

Good Morning and welcome to my blog today! Today's make is not with the Signs of Santa stamp set, although I do have a couple more of those to share! This time I am sharing a male themed card that we made at our Coffee and Card event this week. My ladies requested a male theme so this is what I came up with for them. I turned to the fabulous tutorial by my amazing team member Amanda Bates, you can find Amanda's tutorial HERE
I made a little origami shirt using a co-ordinating piece of the Best Route papers, think I will do a little video on this for you, very easy to do once you know how! 
The great thing about this design is that it fits in a standard C6 envelope which is always a bonus but packs a punch once you take it out. 
 For the tie I used the Classic Label punch which I also used for the sentiment too! Double the value!

Signs of Santa yet again!

 Yes you guessed it! I am back with yet another Signs of Santa make which we made at our Team Get Togethers on Saturday and today! This one involves a little line of Elves doing the Christmas Conga!!!
This stamp set is still my most popular seller from the new Autumn/Winter catalogue with the cute little festive friends getting a lot of love! So easy to colour in with our fabulous Stampin Blends.
 Yet again I have gone a little glitter crazy and used it on the hats and bobbles of the elves!
 Hope you like today's make? I will be back on Wednesday with another make for you!

Ooo before I forget, the CLEARANCE RACK has been updated so head over to my Online Store for some bargains!

Signs of Santa with Masking Technique

Good Morning my blog readers, hope you are well today? Yes I am back with yet another Signs of Santa make today for you! It's still my top selling stamp set from the new Autumn/Winter catalogue. A simple card in that there is no die cutting or layering but I have used a masking technique.
I stamped the Santa onto the Whisper White Card and the North Pole sign and then stamped them again onto Post It notes, cut these out and then added them on top of the stamped images and sponged over the top. Maybe I should do a video on this?

 The Santa has has quite a bit of glittering as you can see from the image below.
 Sorry for the really short post, I've got to dash to a Sister Act rehearsal today! 8 days to go!

Dandelion Wishes with Brusho

Hello there! On Wednesday I hosted a private Crafternoon Tea for a lovely bunch of ladies who book with me a few times a year. For this session they requested techniques so we worked with the Dandelion Wishes stamp set and did some embossing and used the Brushos to make this large square card. 
The card base is 14.8cm square and made from Thick Whisper White card stock. I embossed the Dandelion stamps using Versamark and White Emboss powder. We then sprinkled various colours of Brusho over the card and then spritzed the card with water! Everyones turned out differently and it was so good to see them.
 The Happy Birthday was also embossed in Gold and I then went over the design with the Wink of Stella pen, I hope you can see the sparkle from the last two photos!

 Thank you to those of you who have used my Online Code so far this month! Much appreciated.

Signs of Santa Pocket Card

Good Morning lovely readers! I'm a little late with my post today as I have been having Photo Editing issues with the software I use, but all is now resolved and I am back with a cute card that we made at class last night! I have to thank Katrina Duffell from Australia for the inspiration for this card. I am so glad I discovered Katrina's blog and her amazing makes, you can see the cards that inspired me HERE
 As you know I love my pocket cards and this one turned out quite cute, even if I do say so myself! The background is simply sponged with the Pool Party ink pad and a sponge and then some added Dazzling Diamonds glitter using the Fine Tip Glue pen at the bottom of the circle. 
 Inside the card got a little stamping treatment of course and all the images were coloured in with our wonderful Stampin Blends.
This cute stamp set is my top seller at the moment! I will be advertising a class with it very soon! In the meantime if you like my pocket card I do have a tutorial for how to make this style of card and will share the video with you below.
 Here is the video. Please note for the card above I used slightly different measurements for the inside pieces. These are Pool Party 9.5cm x 13.5cm, Poppy Parade 9cm x 13cm, Whisper White Thick 8.5cm x 12.5cm.

My September code is now live, thanks to those who have used it so far this month!
