Cookie Cutter Christmas Class

Hey there and welcome to my blog today. This week I am going to showcase the cards we made at my Cookie Cutter Christmas Class at the end of September. My ladies got the bundle included in the cost of the class and we made 3 lovely projects, this being the first one - what I call the "warm up" project. 

I wanted to share how versatile the stamps are and that the Teddy can be used for non-Christmas so we made this baby card. I gave the ladies the option of the Pool Party or they could choose pink or neutral, many of them opted for So Saffron which looked lovely.

I love the Tip Top Taupe ribbon on this card, you know me I love my bows, much to my ladies frustrations sometimes!

So I hope you liked todays offering? I will share the next project on Wednesday with you. Just a reminder about our offers below.

Baby Bear

Phew how hot was it yesterday? It was lovely and cool in my studio though so we escaped the heat for part of the day and last night I had my Project Life club and again it was nice and cool for us! This blog post is a little late as I usually write them on an evening and the last thing I wanted to do last night was sit with a warm laptop on my knees!

Today I am sharing the card we made at last weeks Coffee and Card. My ladies were let loose with the 3 step stamping of Baby Bear and we created this thank you card that was a CASE of the catalogue and could be used as baby card too.

I have found that using Early Espresso, Soft Suede and Sahara Sand work best for me with these images and I stamp them in reverse order, so number 3 first, with the Early Espresso ink and then number 2 with Soft Suede and so on.

I've mentioned this before but for best success with the bear I line up his bottom and then his arm holes which seems to work.

Thank you to those of you who have used my code this month. I'm looking forward to choosing something for you. If you are local and want to order next week then I will add your order into the club as long as its over £25 and you will also get a free gift too!

Don't forget, for every £45 you spend this month you will get a coupon for £4.50 to spend in August!

Baby Bear Baby Card

Yippee it's Friday and it's also the start of a brand new month. The end of the school year is in sight and my boys have 3 weeks left until they break up, which is very much needed. 

Today I am sharing a card I made for a lovely new friend whom I have met through having my new studio. Hazel recently had a lovely baby girl so I made this card for her. Hazel owns the Rainbow Factory which is a wonderful interactive storybook play centre in one of the units on the same site as my studio. I love this place and have been to many of their events with my nephew and niece.

I also gave my friend the gift of Project Life and put her together a little starter pack of Project Life items so that she could make a start on her album for baby, which I am pleased to say she already has! 

 I'm still loving Baby Bear but I think I have run out of projects for you now using it! I had better remedy that quickly!

Christmas Bear

Today's make is a bit of a hybrid from 2 of my wonderful team members. The doubt z fold card is obviously one I have been making a lot of courtesy of Amanda and the Christmas bear was an idea I got from Julie. So grateful for such talent within our team from all the girls.

This was the 3rd and final card we made at my Baby Bear class. So far 13 ladies have taken this class with me and I have spaces for you to take this class on Saturday 16th July, just email me for details. For the best bear results I have found that Early Espresso, Soft Suede and Sahara Sand work for me and I stamp with the darkest first.  The hat and scarf are from the Snow Place stamp set which carried over from the Autumn/Winter catalogue. 

 I think this card would be particularly nice as a Baby's First Christmas card, what do you think?

 I will be closing my Online Code Club on Thursday lunch time so please do place your Online order before then if you want to receive a free gift in July.

Baby Card with Baby Bear

Hello there. I decided to take a little day off from my blog yesterday. Saturday was a busy day with a Christmas Card class in the morning followed by a very busy class using the Baby Bear stamp set. I had 11 ladies who came to make Baby Bear cards with me and I must say it was a lovely lovely afternoon. They were all proud of their stamping, and so was I. 

I have already shared one of the cards that we made (a couple of weeks ago here) so here is the second card that we made. 

I'm loving the new stitched satin ribbon which I used on this card in Blushing Bride. Also available in Pool Party (my fave), Very Vanilla and Real Red.

 I'll be back tomorrow with another make from the Baby Bear class. 

If you are local to me and you wanted to do this class then I can repeat this class for you on Saturday 16th July. Please message me for more information.

Baby Bear Valentine

Hello there! Thank you to those of you who placed orders with me yesterday and apologies for the problems early on in the day, all links should be working OK again now. I have created a new Online Code for June orders which is displayed at the bottom of each of my blog posts. 

Today I am sharing a card made with a stamp set that has had a lot of interest, Baby Bear. This is a 3 step stamp set and also got a lot of interest at our recent Onstage Training event. 

I will be running a Technique Class on Saturday 25th June which includes this stamp set. You can find the details on my Facebook Events page HERE. The cost of the class is £30 which includes the stamp set worth £23

I really enjoyed making this little project and have lots more ideas up my sleeve using him. Although he is called Baby Bear he is useful for so much more!

Thanks again to those who ordered yesterday! Online Code Club is all set up and running for June and May's gifts should be with me very soon and will be on their way next week!
