Stampin’ Up! are bringing out a new catalogue on 1st October and many itemw in the current catalogue will be discontinued. Some are being offered at a discount, but all products are only available while stocks last!

Here’s the list. Contact me soon if you want to order anything!

New Venue!

Dawn — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:10:11 +0000

I’m rather excited as I have managed to find a new venue for the card making class. I’ve loved being at peppers – and I’ve especially loved their hot chocolate! But we really need more space for people to spread out. So starting on the 9th September we’re going to be at Wilton Community Centre, in Room 2. It’s a fab room as it has lots of natural light and lots of space. As well as facilities for making drinks. :)

If you’re interested in coming along, please let me know. I’ll need a few days notice to make sure I have enough packs made up for everyone!

Free Ribbon!

Dawn — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 20:46:06 +0000

The Stampin’ Up! special offer for August is a rather wonderful one. If you spend at least £45, you get two reels of beautiful ribbon. And what’s even better is that they are ribbons you can’t buy in the catalogue.

Post-it note holder

Dawn — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 22:16:21 +0000

At the last class we had fun making cards and gifts for men and boys. One of the items we made was a post-it note holder.

I was given one of these by a friend a few years and found it so useful. I always used to lose my post-its, but when I had them safely in a pretty little holder I was happier to have it out on show and never had a problem finding it!

I used -

Close to Cocoa cardstock
Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon
Spiced Cider Designer papers

Father’s Day

Dawn — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 22:38:56 +0000

My Dad really loves trains, so what better stamp set to use than Choo Choo!

I kept to neutral colours for this, so it didn’t end up looking like a child’s card. I think it’s made it look a bit vintage.

I used …

Close to Cocoa cardstock (109983)
Spiced Cider Designer Papers (111909)
Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Pad (110065)
White gel pen (105021)
Choo Choo Stamp set (113982)
Right on track Stampin’ Wheel (113838)

Storage Jar Gift

Dawn — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:27:03 +0000

I just love these little storage jars from Ikea, they’re so cute AND useful.

At the class last week, we decorated one so it could be used as a gift. They can also be filled with all sorts of goodies – sweets, marshmallows, a pair of rolled up socks.

I used -

storage jar from Ikea
Fresh cuts stamp set 111634
Tea Party papers 115158
Scallop circle punch 109877
1 ¼” circle punch 110104
Whisper White cardstock 109899
Almost Amethyst cardstock 110016

Certainly Celery stampin’ pad 110064
Certainly celery ¼” grosgrain 110124
Stampin’ Dimensionals 109923

The Tombow adhesive was just perfect for glueing the grosgrain ribbon to the lid, as long as you use it sparingly.
