70th Birthday

Last Monday, my Mum celebrated her 70th Birthday so a special birthday card was called for.

As soon as I saw this stamp set (Everything Eleanor) in the new catalogue, I know it just had to be on my first order. It didn't disappoint, it is so elegant.  I used the new colours, Calypso Coral and Pool Party along with Crumb Cake with pearls finishing off the flowers beautifully. I can see lots more projects being created with this set.

It's half term, so I am off work and looking forward to getting my cabin sorted (it's a mess) and knuckle down to some serious crafting.

Supplies:
Stamps: Everything Eleanor, Sincere Salutations
Card: Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink: Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral
Other: Timeless Type Junior Alphabet, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon, Basic Pearls.

Busy Time

I am so loving the new catalogue. There are so many new and exciting things to craft with. This year we even have FABRIC, which I am loving. When I first left school (many moons ago) my first job was working in a fabric shop, I used to love sewing and making my own clothes, I also made soft toys to sell at craft fairs, life changes and so did my crafting adictions LOL, but it has been great to get back into sewing again.

I have been kept busy with creating my samplers for the past couple of weeks, this year I have had a lot of orders which is great.  Here are some photo's of the samplers and details can be found here my other site DEMO FAIRY.

These samplers are such a great way to show my customers the new fabric and Designer Papers from the new catalogue, seeing them for real is so much better than the pictures from the catalogue.  If you are a demo and would like a set, then please email me.

I will be back later in the week with a special card, made with much love for my Mum's special birthday we celebrated the weekend just gone, so be sure to check back.

It's HERE

My Training Swap

I have been trying to get this post written the last couple of days and scheduled to appear this morning, before I started my journey to Peterborough for our training event. But Blogger has been playing up and every time I have tried, it gave me an error!! But it appears to be playing ball tonight. So here is the card that all those cut and punched pieces from my previous post where made into.

Isn't he cute. I think it would make a great child's Christmas card, and you could even stamp the child's name on the banner instead of the christmas greeting.

Here is a photograph of a few of them together, I made 37 of these in total (too many to photograph all together)  I had lots of comments from my fellow demonstrators, on how lovely they where, so I am happy.  Thats what crafting is about.

Supplies
Stamps: Serene Snowflakes, Sincere Salutations
Card: Basic Black, Bashful Blue, Real Red,
Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point
Ink: Whisper White, Real Red, Bashful Blue
Punches: 1-1/4” Square, Heart Small,
Word Window, Ornament, Heart to Heart,
¾” Circle, Scallop Edge Border
Accessories: White Gel Pen, Black Marker

Busy Crafting

I am busy crafting today....the men of the house have gone to Milton Keynes to see 'FOO FIGHTERS' so I have been here on my own since 9 am and I don't expect them back until way way past my bed time....so I can craft to my hearts content.

Lots on 'MY TO DO' list so check back over the next few days to see what I have been up to. At the moment I can only share with you this photo of my swaps ready for team training at Peterborough next Sunday.

These are now being constructed and I will share with you the completed card, well 40 cards in fact, very soon along with the projects we make on the day.

We have such a blast on these days, I love meeting up with my downline, fellow demo sisters and of course my up-line. I always return so motivated.

If you are interested in becoming a demonstrator and want to learn more about the training Stampin' Up! and myself offer, along with everything else Stampin' Up! contact me for an informal, no obligation chat.
