October Class - A bit of Autumn and a bit of Christmas



Three Sunflowers

I found this card on the internet and thought it was just perfect for autumn with these 3 delicate sunflowers.  The background colour is Wild Wasabi with Chocolate Chip to give an earthy feel .  We used the Big Shot to create the sunflowers out of Crushed Curry using the Flowers Die, and also the leaves were made by cutting a larger flower from the die out of Wild Wasabi  into 4 pieces.  Again the Big Shot was used with the Polka Dots embossing folder in Whisper White.  The greeting was taken from Petit Pairs and a rhinestone was added to the centre of the sunflowers to give that final touch.



A Countdown to Christmas

How about a bit of Christmas sparkle? This tri-layer card uses a colour that you wouldn’t normally associated with Christmas, Pool Party, and combined with Cherry Cobbler and Silver gives a fresh and bright effect.  This tri-layer effect was created by temporally adhering three layers of Whisper White together and randomly stamping the snowflakes from Snowflake Soiree in Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party and Versamark and Silver embossing powder over all layers. The layers were then dis-assembled and layers of Pool Party and Silver Glimmer card were added.  The greeting was taken from More Merry Wishes and embossed in silver.  Four  rhinestones were added to add some more sparkle.

October - the month of deals!

Wow, where do I start? There is a lot going on this month in the world of Stampin' Up!

First there is the latest 'Best of Stamp' set depicting stamps from previous Sale-a-bration stamp sets.

Then between the dates of 7th and 21st October there is the chance to join my Stampin Up team by becoming a demonstrator for only £25 - more details to be announced over the next few days.

Finally do you fancy earning an extra £25? Then it couldn't be easier than having a Stampin' Up party at home with a few friends where I will introduce you to the wonderful Stampin Up products by demonstrating how to make a 3D project and then you can all see for yourselves by making a card to take home. Then when your friends have seen how versitile the products are and order over £250 from the catalogues, you will gain an extra £25 on top of the £40 you would be getting (for minimum sales of £250). So what are you waiting for, give me a call on 01452 740258 to book your party before 31st October to qualify for this deal! Don't forget that Christmas is around the corner and this is an ideal time to make those extra special cards to give to your family and friends.  I look forward to hearing from you!!
