Christmas Ornament

This is my take on the Christmas Ornament, you will see the original one on the front of the Autumn / Winter mini catalogue, I used Gumball Green (new incolour) and Cherry Cobbler to stamp out the ornaments on Very Vanilla card stock, I then die cut them with the matching framelets dies, so much easier than hand cutting, and it just gives enough of a border the make the image pop out.  I am still waiting on my stamp set to arrive so my friend and crafting buddy, Ruth, kindly let me use her set, I tried not to give her them back, but no such luck, I had to hand them over.. 

I improvised with the button and pearl centre as I can't get the clear button nor the pearls till the new annual catalogue comes out on the 1st October, oh!!! it's a biggy, I am sure everyone is going to love it...

Twitterpated Rosette Wreath

I didn't get the chance to finish this at our last Tartan Stampers training day, so I thought I will finish it at home... a good few months on and still not finished.

I just treated myself to a battery operated glue gun and wondered what I could test it out on.. 

(light bulb moment) My Wreath.. All done.

I am well chuffed with it, and my new glue gun too....

Workshop make and take

I wanted something really simple to make as I have been so busy with the shoebox swap at the weekend, this is what I have came up with. I have used Whisper White and Marina Mist card stock, Jar from Perfectly Preserved, Gingerbread Man from Scentsational Season, for you sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes, (it was the Just for you, but as I wanted to use the Jewellery Tag punch I only had room for 'for you') Marina Mist Grosgrain ribbon as a reminder, as it is being discontinued... You will find the stamp sets in the new Autumn / Winter mini, you can view the catalogue by clicking on the image on the left....

This is my shoebox swap for Saturday, I really enjoyed putting this card together, it can be used at any time of year, not just for Christmas.  What I have used... Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo, Whisper White and Basic Grey card stock, these colours work really well together.  Lucky Limeade and Melon Mambo Ink Pads.  Whisper White stitched grosgrain ribbon.  Merry Christmas was from Teeny Tiny Wishes. The main image is the Four Seasons Hostess stamp set, you will see in the new 2012 / 2013 Annual Catalogue due for release on the 1st October 2012.  The stamped sentiment in the centre of the gift card holder is from Delightful Dozed..
I will add more photos from the swap soon...

It's been a really hectic few weeks, leading up to a crafting weekend in Glasgow, which was absolutely brilliant, learned so much, and most of all, I met some really fantastic and friendly crafter's..Came home with gorgeous shoe box swaps and gorgeous craft class projects, I love them all.  Then went to Edinburgh yesterday for Stampin Up Regional training, another fantastic day, came home with some lovely swaps, even though I only had time to make 4 myself, met another group of lovely crafter's, and got loads of useful information to help me get my little crafting venture on the right track... I have a few more things in the pipe line that I will be attending in the next couple of months, plus the icing on the cake will be a weekend in Frankfurt at the Stampin Up Convention... So looking forwards to that one..

Here is the swap I made for Edinburgh.. I used Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler & Whisper White card stock.
The Stamp and Embossing folder are from the new Summer Mini catalogue, Apothecary Art & Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, I finished off with the rosette using Black Scalloped Ribbon..
