Uncle Henry's

The workshop on Friday was enjoyed by all, and some lovely cards produced.

Cindy's card was made using the new Stampin' Up 'Ornament Keepsakes'  Stamp Set.

Sue's card was made using the 'Beautiful Season' Stamp Set, and the new Stampin' Up winter catalogue!

 My next class is on Thursday 25th October. In the meantime, I'll see you all at Sincerely Yours on Sunday.

Happy Crafting,

Mandy

Christmas Workshop

On Tuesday, we will be having our second Christmas workshop, where we will make 6 cards, 3 each of 2 designs. Here is one of the cards we will be making on Tuesday.

We will be using the new 'Ornament keepsakes' Stamp set, and the really useful 'Greetings of the Season' Stamp Set. I have already used this stamp set on lots of cards as I get ready for Christmas. Hope you have all enjoyed this fabulous weather we have had this weekend, and spent some time relaxing and making cards!

Thanks for stopping by,

Lovely as a Tree.........

As if the Autumn/Winter catalogue wasn't enough now we have the 

much anticipated Annual Catalogue and it is LIVE !!!!!

It is full of super new products. ( I have already sent off a long order for myself!  It should be here tomorrow.) It is so thick this year, 205 pages, but still with the great ideas, wonderful photos and many reduced prices!  

And best of all, if you sign up as a Stampin'Up demonstrator during this month or next, I will give you a FREE copy so you can see the fantastic papers you will receive FREE from Stampin'Up during the next six months. (RRP£9.95) One FREE packet per month!

Contact me and we can have a chat...no pressure!

At my recent class, we made four lovely cards three using the ever popular Stampin'Up  'Lovely as a Tree' stamp set.  Many thanks to Dawn at dostamping for her informative video on how to make a reflection card.  It certainly turned out well and was so simple!

If you would like to join us in Lincoln to learn some new techniques, please register for one of our classes.

Real Red and Whisper White cardstock, soft suede ink and shimmer paint were used for the tree.

Isn't this a pleasant effect? See the video on the side of my blog for more details.

Sponged background is Pool Party and Tempting Turquoise and the trees were stamped in basic black.


We had a great day on Sunday when Zoe invited her team for a day of crafting, exchanging ideas and learning more about Stampin'Up products.  It was a really worthwhile day and I am already looking forward to the next one.  Many thanks, Zoe for all the effort you put in to make it a successful occasion.

Finally, I have a very talented customer who designs the most lovely minimalist cards, usually using Stampin'Up products , occasionally not!  It is my intention to share some of these cards with you from time to time to show that less can often be better.

One thing I learned at the training on Sunday was that blogs should be published REGULARLY so I am going to try and write mine each Sunday!!!!

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy crafting.  Mandy
