Ladies crafting at a Stamp-a-Stack

Spring Stamp-a-Stack

Posted on by

Some of my lovely ladies and I spent yesterday crafting away at my Spring Stamp-a-Stack event whilst the sun beat down outside. This time their pack included the fabulous Tutti-Fruitti 6”x6” dsp stack and a pack of Glitter Enamel Dots. This dsp pack is so bright and cheerful……..perfect for those Spring/Summer days. I paired the paper up with some fun and playful stamp sets.

Spring/Summer cards and a lidded box

Easter/Spring Adult Education All Day Event

Posted on by

Thank you to all the lovely ladies who came to my Adult Education Easter/Spring themed event on Sunday 25th March. I am sharing today the projects they made. I had set up 5 project tables where they made either 2 cards or a simple lidded box + the sweet little bird house featured in the post on the 23rd March.

On arrival each lady was given a pack containing all the pre-cut cardstock layers and card bases they needed to complete the card projects and during the day they moved from table to table making all the projects. The lidded box was pre-scored for them and just needed to be trimmed, put together and decorated. They did use the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the cardstock for the birdhouse and assembled this from scratch.

At the table featuring the Watercolor Wings set they were able to try out 4 step stamping using the new Stamparatus  stamp positioning tool which was a resounding success, everybody loved it! They also used the sponge brayer plus an embossing folder and Big Shots to die cut lots of pieces. They also used the Stampin’ Blends on a couple of the projects and really enjoyed using them.

Flowers For A Picnic

Posted on by

I have been playing today with the fantastic new Picnic for You stamp set. This is going to be such a versatile set and I have plans to use it for my Adult Education event in March; so watch this space……

For today’s’ card I focused on the leafy sprig and flower stamps rather than the more obvious picnic basket and food stamps. I am saving these for another day.

I started with a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅞” by 2” and stamped the leafy sprig image in Garden Green ink randomly all over it. I added the larger flower image in Flirty Flamingo ink and the smaller flower image in Peakaboo Peach ink, 1st and 2nd generation to add a little more texture.

I adhered a 5⅞” by ⅜” strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock to the left hand side of the Very Vanilla panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and a strip of Peakaboo Peach cardstock the same size to the right hand side leaving a smaller border. I wasn’t happy with the panel as it didn’t stand out enough. I added a ¼” strip of Garden Green cardstock behind the Peakaboo Peach piece which pulled the panel together nicely.

I added a 5⅞” piece of Lace Trim to the right hand side for some added texture. I stamped the sentiment from the Picnic With You stamp set in Garden Green ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it using the Layering Ovals dies and added it to a Flirty Flamingo scalloped oval cut from the same set.

I added the stamped panel to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added the sentiment to the right side. I thought about adding some Basic Pearls but decided against it as I really like the clean lines of the card. Let me know what you think!
