From our home to your home......

Good Morning to you! Last night we had our Annual Jems Team Christmas Soiree. It’s always early in December as we meet on the first Tuesday of the month but for me it’s the start of the festive period. We had a fun game, a make and take, business news and then a lovely spread of food and drink with everyone contributing something towards. It was a lovely evening and I get to do it all over again this morning with another group of ladies.

Today I am sharing another card from my Stamp a Stack last Friday. This card was totally CASED from the lovely Teneale Williams from Australia. I love all her makes and love her, she is a doll! I could not CASE it fully as I didnt have the paper Teneale used, nor did I have the Be Merry stamp but I improvised and came up with this design
I substituted the paper for the Chevron background stamp, stamped on some Kraft card stock and added a layer of Champagne Glimmer paper at the bottom.
 I love the sentiment on this card which is from the Holiday Home stamp set.
 Ok that’s me done for today! Tonight I am going to see Dirty Dancing with my friend Wendy. Very much looking forward to that! 
EDITED TO ADD - please make sure you check out my Stampin Up Online Store on Friday as there will be some fantastic deals coming up with great savings!

Another Stamp a Stack card

Good Morning blog readers! Today I am back with another make from our Stamp a Stack last week. This one was CASED from Pinterest with a couple of tweaks from me added onto the card.
 The colour combo on this card is Lost Lagoon, Sahara Sand and Whisper White.
 I love the Confetti Star Border Punch but I havent used it much. It’s very useful to collect all the little stars that it punches out and then add them to shaker style cards. 
A busy day today. It’s the final day of the joining up offer for £74.25 so please don’t miss out if you have been fancying it, it’s a great time to join our team! Talking of the team, today I am finishing the preps for our Team Training Christmas Soiree this evening. Looking forward to seeing the girls and having some Christmas fun.

Stamp a Stack cards

Good Morning! On Friday evening I ran my last Stamp a Stack of 2014. My Stamp a Stacks are probably my most popular events that I run. We meet on the last Friday of every month and make 12 cards each! Its a lot of prep but I do love running them. This week I will share the cards we made! I can only share 5 of the 6 cards as I used one for my son’s friend on Saturday and hadn’t photographed it before he took it with him.

So here is one of the cards from Friday. I had a pack of the Trim the Tree DSP paper that I had a lot left of so thought, right let’s make a card with that. I cut the strips 2.5cm x 12.8cm and layered them onto a piece of Sahara Sand that was 9.5cm x 13.8cm
 The green Deco label shape has been stamped with the Oh My Goodies stamp but I didn’t want it to say that so I stamped the wording from the Endless Wishes and punched out with the large oval punch. My favourite part of the card? The cute little punched out holly of course! I did this with a retired punch (naughty) but any oval punch would work! You just nip out the edges with a small circle punch and then ink it all up! A lovely little touch, I hope you agree!
 So there is still time to get the best deal for joining up! Get £130 worth of Stampin Up goodies for only £74.25 AND the opportunity to earn an extra 5% back on your commissionable sales in December. So far 2 lovely ladies have decided to go for it and join my team and it’t not too late for you too! Contact me for more information or for a chat.
See you tomorrow with another Stamp a Stack card
