Tom's birthday

Made this for Alan's Dad.....

Methinks I'll have to learn how to do this technique properly....

when I get 'the time' that is lol 

Here's a close-up

little star

I promised to show you Ros's 'bucket'

well.....at long last I took a pic, and here it is!

 It's actually a cute little tealight holder......

......with a fab Star on the side to decorate, with one of those lush frosted embellishments in the centre

I can't wait to get time to play even more with this star stamp............

Have you got yours yet?

see you soon

lots of love

wishing you.....

........a Happy Birthday!

To my first and therefore very special downline....

Star

Star.....by Ros

I love this stamp...one of the singles you can buy from Stampin' Up!

We used a doily for the background,

then stamped the star twice, and Ros showed us how to cut and fold the top one

to make it 'pop' 3-d style.

Cute tag embossed with faux stitching, card candy and rhinestone to decorate.

I'll show you her bucket soon ;)

more 'makes'

more makes 'n' takes, as promised......

Liz used one of the Stampin' Up! stamps you can buy with Hostess rewards...

such a cute set...

stars were stamped in white craft ink,

cute reindeer border, and the xmas tree with baubles and glitter.

This set could be used for so many different designs....bargain!

Jan's was simply elegant, and stole the show!

She has 'clean and simple' nailed!

Little leaves die cut in silver glimmer paper....

(I learn that you can take the backing off to make it easier to cut)

a few berries, simple greeting....done!

Oh, and not forgetting the matching envelope liner...

I'll be back with Ros's works of art.....

guess who forgot to take pics ???

yup....me!

pop back soon

lots of love

makes n takes

Hello!

Our team days include lots of makes 'n' takes that we share.

Here's some of the ones we made....

Sarah brought along the new Stampin' Up! envelope scoreboard (available soon!)

for us to play with....

you can make so much more than just envelopes!

She showed us how to make a file tab designed card,

with coredinations card embossed and sanded,

chevron ribbon, designer and glimmer paper to decorate.

 I couldn't believe how quick and easy the board made it!

I might just have to add this to my wish list....

My contribution was  a very simple one with one of the single stamps.

Doily background, red glimmer paper, and circles cut with framelits dies.

There's more to show, so pop back soon!

lots of love

This is Sarah's using Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Grunge...

one of her favourites...not so you'd notice lol!

expertly executed and gorgeous colours....very cool...

Jan loves making gifts, and this was just the best!

Stamped image on the candle,

and a luscious gift bag to match.....sick!

Festive Flurries and lots of bling!

Pop by for some more of our team talent!
