Feeling Sentimental 2

As promised, here are some more cards from my workshop using the Stampin'Up FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set.  You only have to purchase £45 worth of Stampin'Up excellent products to choose one of the 17 FREEBIES on offer. (The Sycamore Street papers are especially useful and gorgeous!!!)
AND if you decide to sign up as  a demonstrator during Sale-a-bration you will get an extra £25 worth of products for just £99.  This is because Stampin'Up are celebrating 25 years making and selling their quality products.


Anita's card
Lynn's card
This one was made by Janice.
Maxine opted for a square card....
....and so did Lauren, who also used the new Flower Trim, only £6.25 for 1.8 metres...a bargain and so very versatile.
If you would like to make cards when all the materials are provided and some of the ideas!! why not come along to one of our workshops and join  a super group of crafters?  Beginners would be especially welcome.

Happy crafting.  Mandy x

Happy New Year to all!!!

Isn't it great to be back to normal?  I enjoyed Christmas and the New Year, but I am really happy to be back to my usual routine.  I'm not really as boring as that sounds!!

My first workshop is not until Tuesday this week, so no cards to share with you at the moment, except......one of my regular crafters celebrated her 59th Wedding Anniversary over the holiday, and below is the card I made for the occasion. I used the new Stampin'Up Stippled Blossoms stamp set, which I will certainly be using a lot more in the future. I was so pleased with the results it gave using the two step stamping technique.  It would have looked even better if I had masked the blossoms before using the lovely swirl from Everything Eleanor.


I am intending to be much more organised this year, and to prepare the projects we make at our classes and workshops, well in advance. I wonder how many of you intend to do the same! Good luck to us all!

Happy Crafting,
Mandy
