Live Laugh Love mini booklet

Saw this idea on the internet somewhere,

It actually uses an element from the Treat Bag die.

Some of the die sets, the Framelits, Thinlits,

often have parts that get overlooked when they are not part of the main project.

There's an insignificant set of holes...yes holes!

But if you look closely, it forms the spine where the booklet is bound together.

I don't have any fancy book binding things, 

so was quite chuffed to discover this easy way of making your own notebook.

Just fill with some copy paper, and bind together with twine or ribbon.

I stamped the cover with a fave new set Layering Love,

then stamped the bird and splats from Swirly Bird

in the same crumb cake ink as the card.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend

Shaker your day

Just love Stampin' Up!'s new catalogue....

Love shaker cards

and love the new foam tape strips

that make the shakers so much easier.

Also love the new square framelits...

they are so versatile

and make layering, and making frames, an absolute breeze!

Anyway, you came to see what I made right?!

This is black white and gold,

just like the sequins, and the faux brads.

I also love the DSP paper stacks,

and here I show my favourites, the script and the polka dots.

The sentiment is from Party with Cake.

Here's one similar, but different,

with a teeny tiny shaker frame and some paper piercing.

Layering Love is the stamp set.

Enjoy the Little Things,

It's Your Day!!!!!

faux watercolour

Continuing my dogged determination to force my classmates

to get inky and arty with free brush strokes  and watercolour abandon,

I gave up, and decided to change tack slightly and do a faux

watercolour technique.

Needless to say they were much happier with this one !

we took the brush strokes from Playful Backgrounds

(any brush strokes would do)

stamp , turn upside down and second generation stamp

Stamp the sentiment over the top,

stamp and punch some pretty petite petals, and add some rhinestones.

So it wasn't a complete watercolour washout, I had fun,

and I think they did too ?!?

They all booked for the next class anyway!

Do join us for some crafty fun, we always have a laugh,

and endeavour to learn something new too,

so just ask if you'd like more details.

Have a great week

Enjoy the little things........

Hello

I'm sharing the swaps I made for a training day.

I love this stamp set Layering Love.

It's great for cards, scrapbooking, picture frames etc etc.

I decided to make small card fronts, the top layer is only 3" square.

I stamped in Sweet Sugarplum, then die cut the cloud and hearts from 

Umbrella Weather framelits.

On the base layer I then stamped a cloud, and added some diecut hearts

in the new In-Colours, and one in glimmer paper.

As a final touch I added a co-ordinating new enamel shape.

The top layer is mounted on dimensionals (foam pads).

As you can see, I used lots of snippets for these,

and so I can visit the Snippets Playground!

Do pop over for a look at the talented artists there.

Hope you had a lovely weekend
