Live, Laugh, Love

Hello there! I hope you managed to watch the Stampin Chat video yesterday? Thanks for the messages from those who tuned in! Today I am sharing another project from my retreat weekend. On the Saturday I shared 4 Fancy Fold ideas with the girls and they had the whole day and evening to complete them. The timing worked out pretty perfect and most people got them all done!

You know I have been loving Amanda’s Box Frame cards which I shared on Sunday. Well she shared a smaller version of one which I just loved, a much narrower frame and made from the thick Whisper White card. You can see her post with the smaller card HERE with some amended sizings. So not content with just getting my ladies to make one card, I had an idea to “string” 3 of them together and create a Live, Laugh, Love wall hanging.

I kept the design pretty simple once the boxes had been constructed and left the ladies to do their own designs and use their own choice of colours.

Here is another of Hazel’s lovely makes, Hazel decided to do Home Sweet Home which I love.

 And in complete contrast I love the colours on Jo’s here. Jo was going to use some different ribbon one she got home.

Hope you liked these makes.

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.

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.

Stampin’ Chat

Good Morning and happy Monday to my lovely readers! A few months ago I was asked to take part in a series of videos partnering with Stampin’ Up! and some lovely fellow demonstrators! The series of mini videos are filmed in a chat show style and are to share with you the audience, what it is like to be a demonstrator and what it involves. There will be 2 videos per month, the first one was posted last Wednesday and you can view it on You Tube below and also take part in a competition to win some Stampin Up goodies. Episode 2 goes live on Wednesday and includes a little bit of creating in this one too!

I am not a fan of watching myself on televison! I still have only been able to watch the Strictly Super Fan quiz once but it’s good to out of your comfort zone from time to time! Filming was a long but enjoyable process and the filming guys were brilliant! Here is the team below! I love this photo!

 We had so much fun but it was a bit crazy!

 Here is a little sneak peek of our “studio”

I do hope you will watch the series and if you have any questions about becoming a demonstrator please do contact me!

Box Frame Card for my Retreat

Hello there! I have been on a mission today, once I had enjoyed a nice lie in and a leisurely PJ clad breakfast that is! I have been cleaning! Started at the top of the house and blitzed the boys bedrooms and bathroom and then I worked my way down to the middle floor which I have blitzed too! Still got the bottom floor to do but I am having a break to do my blog!

Today I am sharing a Box Frame card we made at our retreat last weekend (can’t quite believe it’s a whole week since it ended already!) This card was totally inspired by my wonderful downline member Amanda Bates and you can find her tutorial HERE, I know it has been well received in the crafty world. If you haven’t tried one yet then please have a go, Amanda has some useful hints for doing the tricky corners.

The ladies got the English Garden papers in their packs and this is my version! I have to say they all put me to shame with their wonderful cards, but in my defence they had a lot more time than me! Ha ha!

Here is a lovely one made by Di (who had the most wonderful Tiffany glasses that I was very envious of!) and I love how she has made it so so vintage!

The next one is by Hazel who loves working with flowers and manipulating them, hope you agree it is stunning.

Not sure who this one belonged to but I love the combo of papers on here and it shows that the big patterned paper isn’t too big for the front of the card.

The ladies seemed to enjoy making these and we didn’t have too many casualties! 

Right I had better crack on with more cleaning! Don’t forget I still have my Online Code Club order that is live, details below.
