Flowerpot Card

Hello there! Yet again I was missing from my blog yesterday. If you are one of my Facebook business page likers you may have seen why! For the last few weeks I have been in liaisons with the BBC Strictly team! A few weeks ago I applied for a quiz show they are doing on the It Takes Two program to find Strictly’s Biggest Super Fan. Well they had over a thousand entries and I was short listed a couple of weeks ago. I got a surprise call from a researcher who chatted to me and then totally put me on the spot and asked me 20 strictly related trivia questions! Talk about being thrown in at the deep end but I believe I got 15 out of 20!!! They said they would let me know before the end of the month and skip to Tuesday this week when I got another phone call asking me more things about myself including a 15 minute Skype interview that was filmed so the producers could see me. They said the final decision would be based on my trivia answers and the Skype call. On Wednesday afternoon I got another call saying I had been successful and I was now in the final 8 and will be going for filming to the London Studios and I will be on It Takes Two!!! To say I am excited is an understatement but I am also very very scared too and also swotting up big time on my Strictly knowledge! Did you know there have been 162 contestants in the 12 series!!!

OK so that’s why I have been pre-occpied for a couple of days! Back to some crafting. This was the final project of a set of 3 from Tuesday Club a few weeks ago. I also demonstrated this card and helped the ladies at the Flower Club that my Mum attends make a few weeks ago.

 I made a template for the flower pot and drew around it twice and then stuck them both together very carefully with a really fine line of Tombow. Obviously I didnt glue around the top as the flowers need to slide out as demonstrated below. Once you have the template made its really easy to make a few of these up. 

Right I am off back to my Strictly revision with a bit of crafting too!!!

Have a great Friday

Moonlight meets Mixed Bunch

Hello there! Forgive the late posting on my blog today! There is good reason as it's my birthday today!! I had a little lie in and then saw Evan off to his visit to High School - eeeekkk!! I have then been out for most of the day shopping with Mr K and spending some birthday money that I got! Thank you to those who sent cards, I got a lovely pile through the post. It really is so lovely to get a thoughtful handmade card through the post! I also got a lovely voice message and happy birthday sung to me by my lovely lovely Aussie friends the Klass family which made me cry!

Today's card is one from my Stamp a Stack last week which combines the Mixed Bunch stamp set with the Moonlight DSP stack. Another lovely little stack of 48 smaller sheets of paper for £6.25, perfect for making cards.

 The colours I have used here are Smoky Slate, Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey, the latter two being new In Colours.

I am making my final preps for tomorrow nights launch night of the new catalogue and sale of my pre-loved goods! I can't wait for the evening and know lots of my ladies are looking forward to it!

An order will be going in this evening, if you would like to add to it then please contact me or you can place an order on my Online Store and if it's before 9pm you can use my Hostess Code NYXWAKTZ

Mixed Bunch set

Hello there and welcome to my blog on this lazy Sunday I am having!! On Friday evening I spent a  most enjoyable evening at Lucy's house with a group of 6 ladies running a private class. What is a private class you may ask? Well I designed 3 cards all based around the Mixed Bunch set and took all the products needed and taught this class with the ladies. They each paid me £10 OR the class was FREE with a spend of £35 on the night! If the total spends come to more than £150 you get the hostess benefits too!!! It's a win win!

So here are the set of 3 cards that we made. 

The first one was very heavy on the Calypso Coral and I took Mr Big Shot with me to the class (some of the ladies hadn't seen him before), they were all impressed with his embossing! We used the Square Lattice folder on this card along with the Petite Pairs set (which we used on all 3 cards).

The next card was this Pretty in Pink and Crumb Cake combo and I showed the ladies how to turn the flower into a butterfly.

And finally my favourite card, which has very little stamping on is this Bashful Blue and So Saffron combo

I hope you like these cards and if you fancy hosting your own private class then please do get in touch with me to book a date!
