Jingle All The Way Technique Class

Good Morning! Today I am starting to share my Technique Class cards from the weekend. We usually make 3 cards and I start off with the “warm up” card, then we have the “high impact” card and then we finish with the “cool down” card. This month we worked with the Jingle All The Way bundle which the ladies all received included in the class cost. This is the warm up card that was CASED from fellow demonstrator Amanda Fowler. Thank you for the inspiration Amanda.
I love the simplicity of this card and I am loving Night of Navy at the moment as my ladies will tell you. The Jingle All The Way bundle has been my top selling bundle of this catalogue and it’s easy to see why. It creates such stunning makes so quickly and easily.


The houses were cut out with the Sleigh Ride edgelits which form part of the bundle .
 We also got to use the offcut of the Whisper White card inside the card blank so there is no need for an extra insert. Love it, and so did my ladies. 9 of them had this made pretty quickly I have to say.
I’ll be back to share the other 2 makes on Thursday and Friday with you as tomorrow it’s Weekly Deal Wednesday!

Tonight I am closing my Online Code Club for September so if you would like to take advantage of it please use my Online Store before 5pm today.
I have created a new Online Code which is EHRPKAXP. If you are shopping during September and spending between £25 and £150 then please use this code and you will receive a little gift in the post in early October

Woodland Embossing Folder

Good Morning and its another happy Monday to you! Thanks for joining me today, I cannot believe it’s almost the end of September already! Have you put the heating back on yet? I’m trying to hold out until October!!

Today I am sharing the last card from our Tuesday Club makes a couple of weeks ago. I actually made this card whilst I was at my weekend retreat with my lovely ladies. They told me off last year as I didnt bring any crafting to work on myself and all I did was wander round chatting to them, which I love doing, but I think it put them off their crafting! Ha ha! So this year I brought a few bits couple of boxes!
So to create this effect I took a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and my Woodland embossing folder and I rubbed one side of it with Crumb Cake ink and rolled it through my Big Shot and it creates this effect, I love it!
 I used a rather large piece of Red Foil card but what you cannot see is that before I stuck it together I rolled lots of merry, jolly and peace out in the middle of the Red Foil so I didn’t feel like I was wasting it! I can then use these for future projects!
 The little Bambi was cut from the Home for Christmas papers and he really reminds me of all things 70’s and 80’s as he is like the little Babycham guy! 

Right thats all from me today. I’m closing my Online Code Club for September tomorrow tea time if you would like to add to it the details are below. Thanks to those who have joined already.

Loving Wonderland

Hello there! Yes I have blogged early this morning! I am on a misson today, to get things done!

Today I am sharing a card we make at Tuesday Club a couple of weeks ago and it was totally inspired by THIS ONE by the lovely Michelle Last. I love the tree stamp in the Wonderland set so set about re-creating a similar design but just with the Crumb Cake Card. 
I stamped the trees in Mossy Meadow and stamped them again before I reapplied ink. The Whisper White ink pad is perfect for the snowflakes and there was plenty of inking around the edges of the card.
I just LOVE heat embossing at the moment and add it at every opportunity if I think it will work in a class and added a silver sentiment on this make and of course as you can see I also added some Dazzling Details on the trees.
 I was sad when the Crumb Cake Seam Binding ribbon was retired so this is my new substitute and I have to say, it is easier to tie too!
I hope you like todays share and if you would like the products they are listed below for you. 
Don’t forget I still have my Online Code Club order that is live, details below. I will be closing this order on Tuesday 29th September around tea time.

Reason for the Season Poinsettia Card

Good Morning! I am a little late posting today as I had a lovely lovely lie in (yippee!). Before I share todays make with you I wanted to give a little shout out to the lovely Gloria, one of my fab retreat attendees who has recently had an operation! Gloria I hope you will be back to your usual self very soon and hope you are being pampered? xxx

Today I am sharing a card we make at Tuesday Club a couple of weeks ago using the Reason for the Season stamp set along with the Festive Flower punch. This card has had a lot of comments when it has been on my displays.
The papers used are from the Home For Christmas pack which we will be using at my All Day Stamp a Stack event next Saturday, really looking forward to that! 


If you are sitting on the fence about ordering this and would like to see it in action, then Stampin UP have provided a video on how to put the flower together which I found really easy to follow.

Stampin’ Chat Part One Episode Two

Hello there! Thank you so much for all the lovely comments and messages about the first Stampin Chat video from last week. I have been bowled over by your lovely comments! I am still getting used to hearing my Yorkshire tones and one liners on the video and occasionally cringe from time to time but here is Episode One Part Two! It’s a little shorter this time and includes some crafting too!
I thought I would share some of the “behind the scenes” photos. We were at Stampin Up HQ for a day and a half and on the first half day we had a couple of little rehearsals.
 Then the next day after an early start it was time to get the outfits on and get made up a bit more. Here I am clinging to my Stampin Up mug, all I seemed to do was drink on the first video!
 The guys doing the video worked so so hard and were so patient with us.
I hope you get chance to have a little watch today and our next one will be back in mid October. Right it’s Mollie morning today so I had better switch the laptop off and concentrate on being an Aunty today!

Don’t forget I still have my Online Code Club order that is live, details below. I will be closing this order on Tuesday 29th September.

Christmas Collage Frame

Hello there! Today I am sharing one of the last projects from my Weekend Retreat. On the Sunday we always do Christmas projects and this years was this Collage Frame using a 9 inch square Ribba frame from Ikea. I enjoy making these but have never done a Christmas one before and after looking at a few online I decided that I loved the one my wonderful friend and downline Sarah-Jane made last year with her ladies so I went with that one. You can see Sarah-Jane’s original HERE Thank you Sarah-Jane for your constant inspiration and friendship! Plus it has just 9 squares, whereas some of the others have a lot more squares!
These frames are always quite tricky to photograph with the light often reflecting off the glass! 
 This project uses ALOT of stamp sets and products and is a showcase of the Autumn/Winter Catalogue as it uses all my fave items!
 If you like this and would love to make one then I will be including this as a project at my Paper Haven Day Retreat on Saturday 21st November from 10am - 7pm. The details can be found on my Classes/Events page and also on my Retreat Facebook page HERE
 I thought I would share some of the frames my ladies made as they were all different. 
 Di really went all guns with the gold on the one above and it looks fab!
 This one above is Hazel’s I believe and I do think the wreath does look better moved into the middle rather than at the side on mine!
I think this could be Jo’s but I am not too sure now!

Hope you liked todays make and if you would like to make one then pop along to my Day Retreat on 21st November, I have 5 places left.

Handkerchief Fold Card

Good Morning! I’m a tiny bit later than usual today. I mostly schedule my blog posts the evening before they are due to go live but I went to bed a little earlier last night and hadn’t seen the new Weekly Deals that I wanted to share with you until this morning! Some fab deals this week,  please check them out at the bottom of my page! I have my next order going in on Friday evening.

Today I am sharing the last make from the Saturday of my Paper Haven Retreat from our Fancy Fold class. This isn’t a new design, I first made it around 4 years ago and realised I should re-cycle it. It’s called a Handkerchief Fold or Napkin Fold card and you can find loads of tutorials by searching on Google for this fold.
We of course gave it the Stampin Up treatment with the English Garden papers and the Garden in Bloom stamp set, which all my ladies got included in their goodies bags.
A belly band goes over the card to keep it closed and then when you slide this off the card looks like the photo below.
And then open it looks like this! Not an easy one to stand on the mantlepiece but a little stunner, I hope you will agree?
So onto the Weekly Deals. There are some fab ones this week and 3 items that I don’t actually own so I feel a spend coming on! 
Don’t forget I still have my Online Code Club order that is live, details below. I will be closing this order on Tuesday 29th September.
