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].

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

Hope to see you at Stampin’ Time.

ANOTHER SNEAK PEEK

I have been having so much creative fun playing with more of the new products from the upcoming Occasions Catalogue …

This first card highlights the Birthday Bouquet DSP …. I have fussy cut one of the floral bouquets and mounted it onto a background made using the Brushstrokes stamp and with a sentiment from the Cottage Greetings stamp set … I love the versatility of all of the Stampin’ Up! products – ‘very mixy matchy’ as my daughter would say.

I have not used the Birthday Blooms stamp set yet because I somehow managed to order it, and three stamp sets from the Sale-a-bration catalogue, in wood mount. Stampin’ Up! is arranging to exchange these for me – how amazing is that!

This second card features two other designs from the Birthday Bouquet DSP … there are 12 different designs in total.

The sentiment and banner are from another bundle featured in the new Occasions Catalogue … Rose Wonder stamp set and Rose Garden thinlits dies.

The Rose Garden thinlits also include two roses that I have used in the next, more boldly coloured, card.

The sentiments are from the Rose Wonder stamp set … the Wishes greeting actually says Wedding Wishes but a sticky note makes an effective mask.

Now I have to confess that when I first saw one of the amazing new tools in the Occasions Catalogue I was not convinced it would be useful – I have happily used my paper piercer to poke out all the little bits from our detailed thinlits dies ,,, then I watched a clip showing how it worked, ordered one and am SOLD! Wait until you get to see the Big Shot Die Brush in action at my Occasions Catalogue Launch.

Time to get back to my craft room!
