BOUQUETS FOR MOTHERS’ DAY SNEAK PEEK

April is the time to start preparing for Mothers’ Day … so Stampin’ Time classes this month will be doing just that.

This month’s class theme is BOUQUETS FOR MOTHERS’ DAY … although other sentiments will be on the table for you to choose from … sadly, not everyone still has their mother with them.

We will create beautiful, feminine cards to give at Mothers’ Day or to save for upcoming birthdays … all very feminine and soft … using the gorgeous Birthday Bouquets DSP from the Occasions Catalogue.

The choice of sentiments is yours … to create three beautiful cards for the wonderful women in your life.

Here is a peek at part of one of the cards … featuring a little water colouring.

… and if you haven’t already seen the full range of this very pretty DSP, have a look below.

The first BOUQUETS FOR MOTHERS’ DAY Stampin’ Time class is Sunday 10th April from 1pm … contact me to book your place and I will give you my address details.

If you are unable to make this class, there will be an ‘encore class’ on Sunday 24th April.

The class has three different opportunities for you:

  • class only cost of $15
  • class and the Birthday Blooms stamp set for $45 [clear mount] or $60 [wood mount].
  • class, Birthday Bouquet DSP and the Birthday Blooms stamp set for $65 [clear mount] or $80 [wood mount].

Just let me know on the day if you want to order the stamp set.

Hope to see you at Stampin’ Time.

SETTING GOALS

I have lots of things on my to-do lists – crafting list, demonstrator list, mum list, work list, horrible jobs to do around the house list …. some of these I get to quickly and others just seem to linger [like the ‘need to clean the windows’ job].

…and I must confess I am very easily distracted.

So when the quarterly Stampin’ Success magazine arrived, every other goal went out of those dirty windows!

Some of you might be asking “What is a Stampin’ Success magazine?” … it is one of the many benefits of being an Independent Demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! … it is a colour magazine brimming with amazing project ideas and information about products, demonstrators from around the world, techniques and lots, lots more.

My goal was to create every project in the magazine!

My crafting goal was achieved … well almost. I completed 34 of the 35 projects in this quarter’s Stampin’ Success magazine [the Sweet Little Kitten card will have to wait – the ironing just wouldn’t go away!]

So that’s – 30 pairs of cards and 4 smaller gift card pairs … I transformed any non-card projects into cards and have the magazine version and an alternative … and for the few stamp sets or DSP used that I didn’t have in my collection, I substituted and was pretty close. [very embarrassing that there were only a few that I didn’t have – sshhh – don’t tell my husband!]

I will post images of my favourites another time!

NEW SALE-A-BRATION GOODIES

My pre-order of the new Sale-a-bration products arrived last Wednesday … and I have only just got to play with them … [Thursday and Friday away at a work p.d. & the weekend in Brisbane helping our youngest daughter move back into college).

Here are two very quickly created cards … after four days away from my craft room I needed playtime!

Today’s Valentine’s Day card for someone special … using the new Pedal Pusher photopolymer stamp set and some Birthday Bouquet DSP from the Occasions Catalogue.

Then a little disco inspired card … using the new Party Pants stamp set and Metallics Glitter Tape along with some It’s My Birthday DSP from Occasions. There’s even a touch of Wink of Stella on the black stars on the pants … love a little bling!
