Cracked Glass with Style

On Friday evening I attended one of  Debbie's classes ( my sideline ). We made two fantastic cards with the cracked Glass technique, I enjoy having time to just sit and make some cards especially when you have someone teaching you for a change.  The first card we have used a new stamp set called Elements of Style and needless to say it is now on my wish list.

Chocolate Treat Holder or

Over the weekend I have had some time to just sit and craft so I made a couple of quick little Treat holders, I have used part of a brown paper bag in the first one for the insert which would hold a chocolate treat, I have punched out the snowflake and attached it to the front with a dimensional.

The second one I have clear embossed the front then layered it onto Old Olive, in this one I added some extra Real Red card to form a pocket then stamped a piece of Whisper white and attached it, this one would be ideal for a gift card or even some cash, the front is clear embossed.

Stamp Set: Season of Joy

My Stampin Studio & Catalogue Launch

Yesterday I had my Catalogue Launch in my "Stampin Studio". This was built for my Daughter and her Partner when they had my Grand Daughter 3 years ago, then when they shifted out last year and my older daughter moved 18months ago, 3 weeks ago she shifted out so at last I have my "Stampin Studio" and I love it.

Here it is

Some nice new cupboards and a lovely bottle of wine

A  nice new table

At the moment I am using my stand for the jug this is where a white pantry will go

to store all those lovely stamp sets
