Stampin' Up! Wedding Card

I think it's about time I updated my blog, don't you think? 

So, this weeks classes were on the theme of weddings. We're well into wedding season right now and one of my customers had requested making a wedding card but one that was bigger than the standard C6. It actually didn't take me long to design this particular one, you know how you sometimes get flashes of inspiration and you're off? That was me this week. We also made 2 smaller cards during the classes but I'll show you those over the next couple of days. 

This particular card is A5 in size. Twice the size of normal cards and as we don't have large envelopes we also made our own using the Diagonal Plate.

I've been really into heat embossing over the last couple of classes - it never stops giving me that 'wow' factor as it melts. This time we used the Iridescent Embossing Powder which is a clear EP with glitter, and boy does it sparkle!

Although we were only using Whisper White and Basic Black, to make it sparkle and give it more of a luxury look I spritzed the whole card with Shimmer Mist made from mixing the Champagne Shimmer Paint with rubbing alcohol. The card now looks like it's been made with Shimmer Paper....gorgeous!

Even the inside of the card was finished off to make it an extra special card.

Easter Bunny Punch Art

It was the Monthly Technique Class last night and this morning. Three more Techniques were added to the list of many we've been doing over the last 6 months and much more to come too.

 

With Easter only 2 weeks away I thought we'd go for a bit of punch art. The bunnies were the same as the ones made a few years ago at one of my all day events. I've had a computer crash since then so I haven't got any photos of what we made but they were baskets to hold mini eggs, and very cute they were too. Anyway, I've taken the bunny and popped him on a card this time.

The NEW Clouds Embossing Folder from the Spring/Summer Catalogue is just perfect for this card.

 

Right, a flying visit from me today. It's my all day Stamp-a-Stack on Sunday and there's a full house so I need to get on and prep those kits.

 

I'll be setting the FRIDAY CHALLENGE on Facebook tonight at 7pm if you'd like to join in?

 

The rules are very simple, upload your card/project to my facebook page by Sunday evening and I will showcase them from 7pm. At 10pm I will pick a random name from my pop up bin for someone to receive a little gift.

 

We always have plenty of fabulous entries each week so please don't be shy, just use the theme for the Challenge and run with it.

 

Hope to see you there!

ALL A FLUTTER & MORE AMORE SUITE SCRAPBOOKING

It's been quite a while since I last did some scrapbooking. Last weekend I spent with my crafting buddies on our 5th visit to Tincleton, it was the perfect opportunity to get stuck in.

 

It's my Mother-in-laws Birthday tomorrow and she loves receiving scrapbook pages as a gift. She has a large 12x12 frame on her wall that we bought her a few years back so each birthday etc. all I now need to do is a layout for her and she's over the moon!

 

I love all things with hearts on so I was drawn to the More, Amore Suite in the Spring/Summer Catalogue and the colours are so lovely - Pool Party, Primrose Petal & Crumb Cake.

 

This wasn't how the page was planned in my head, the banners were an after thought which came to me whilst shuffling the papers around - I'm sure I've seen something similar somewhere. 

 

I'm a bit rusty at the old scrapbooking but I'm pleased how it turned out, and I'm sure my MIL will love it.
