Everything Eleanor

Hello there and happy Monday to you!!

This week I am going to share another new stamp set with you and this one is VERY exciting as it is exclusive to the European market - how cool is that!!

It's called Everything Eleanor and is a gorgeous set for scrapbooking and card making. A few of my Tuesday ladies fell in love with it when we used it a couple of weeks ago!!

Here is a card we made in Prague, well I say we made it in Prague but I was too busy gassing to make it and did it when I got home, I much preferred catching up with people and talking to different demonstrators.

The colour combo is Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade, Pretty in Pink and Basic Gray. The card blank is made from the Scallop Circle die and embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder (my fave).

The flower is coloured in with the ink pads and a blender pen and there is a piece of First Edition paper punched out with a scallop circle behind the flower.

The sentiment is punched out with the Decorative Label punch with a nifty little trick!!

Back tomorrow with more from the same stamp set.

Workshop projects

Last week I went to a workshop with a new group of ladies and had a great time

These were the projects I demonstrated. The simple bag in the middle which you will have seen on my blog before and all the ladies also made the card on the right.

This design was based on a gorgeous welcome card we were given at Prague on the first night

One of my demo cards came off a bit worse for wear as it had an accident with an inkpad so I decided to cover it up by wiping the textured card all over with a sponge dauber and the Concord Crush in and this is the effect

I also showed the ladies an alternative card where they could add extra product to make it

Hope you like the projects and thank you to Anne for hosting the workshop

Team Training Twit Twoooooo!

Good morning!! I am up and at em this morning as I have been lucky to have had a few lie ins this week but got a ton of things to do so here I am!! Bright and Breezy!!!

Last night I had 5 of my lovely team round for some monthly Team training! This month I was featuring the Owl punch and showing them how to build him into their workshops.

This was the card we made as a simple Make and Take card , using the Owl Punch, Vintage Wallpaper, Top Note Die, Little Leaves and Curly Cute stamp set

Whenever I do a workshop I try to have an additional card with extra products on to show people how I have taken it to the next level. This was my next level card!! By simply adding some patterned paper and some pearls the look is totally different!

The Little Leaves die has been a really popular seller for me, at only £4.95 its great for Owl projects and anything needing a bit of foliage!!

I also show the girls a project they can make for their Demonstration project/Hostess gift. This is usually something thats 3D that can contain some little goodies as a thank you for hosting the workshop. We made this gorgeous cute and dinky little bag made from 2 Scallop Envelope Dies!

A really easy project to make and you can fit in a little goody bag of buttons/ribbons or even some mini chocs!!!

And here are a few I put together for the girls to have a look at!

I love our team trainings, we have such fun and we laugh A LOT!! So much so my eldest son is always trying to muscle his way into them!!! He thinks he is missing out on something!! Only 6 years until I can sign him up!!!

Thats all for me today, I have a day filled with my boys and my Nephew Lucas this afternoon!!

If you have liked my projects why not host a workshop yourself, the offer we have on at the moment is brilliant!!

Team Training Projects

Well its been another busy week thats gone by far too quickly. I was busy prepping for my Owl Class yesterday, really looking forward to that tomorrow!

On Tuesday and Wednesday this week I had the pleasure of spending sometime with some girls for our team at our Monthly Team Training events. As usual we had lots of fun (very important) but they went away all fired up for another good month. We were working on projects for workshops with the Big Shot.

Here are our projects we made which are the same as I have been demoing at my workshops in April.

Using the Fun Flowers die we made this card for a great Make and Take. I experimented with a new colour combo, Crumb Cake, Marine Mist and Rose Red.

Love the texture on the flowers and keep wondering, were my cards boring before the Big Shot???? It's lovely to add some texture to backgrounds etc.

This was a simple little Make and Take for those who didnt own the Fun Flowers die. A really quick card which showcases probably the stamp set I have sold the most of so far - Four Frames.

And finally a Hostess Gift and Demonstration project made with the Top Note Die.

Please excuse my thumb, when I checked my velcro dots, I only had black and it looked naff so I left one off!!

Hope you enjoyed these?

THINKING ABOUT SIGNING UP YOURSELF?????

Drop me a mail and ask about being a Demonstrator and you could be at our next session!!

We need more room now that we have Mr Big Shot so all is good!! If you would like to come I have spaces for next Tuesday night - 26th - Wedding Cards.

Here is what we made this Tuesday, inspired by my friend Victoria!

2 Gerbera cards and a Pillow Box gift box! This was a very easy class this week, must make it harder next Tuesday!!!! Ha ha!!!! This white one is my favourite card. Its the white Shimmer Card stock which is thicker than Whisper White and lovely for emobssing.

Bride's Room Door Sign

Good morning to you!

A few months ago I was asked to make a Door Sign for the Brides room for one of my wedding customers. I thought I would make one with Stampin' Up! products and in particular the Fun Flowers Die

The colour combo is simple, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake and I have gone to town with the flowers.

I ran them through the Big Shot to cut them and then I ran them through again to emboss them with the Vintage Wallpaper folder - my fave!

I used a lot of pearls on this project but I think it was worth it! The letters are stamped with the Broadsheet Alphabet set.

Hope you like it, it decorates my conservatoire very nicely!

This is a Table Number/Menu for the centre of the tables

This is one of the tables that would attach to the table plan. The embossing is all done with the Vintage Wallpaper folder

This is the invitation, a criss cross style card

Very simple place card, just embossed and added the name with the punch, doesnt need anything else on it!

Save the Date card
