Apothecary Art through the Window

I made this card for my Swap at team training on Saturday plus I taught it in class on Monday and Wednesday evenings. I love the new Apothecary Art Stamp set which is in the new Autumn/Winter Mini catalogue. Pear Pizzazz and Concord Crush look so good together, these two colours will be retiring at the end of September I will be sorry to see them go. If you would like to have a go at making this card email me here

Birds and Flowers on my Rubbish Bin

 We had team training at Jacques Pederson's on saturday. We made a decorated Rubbish bin (Thank you Jacque). We used the Elegant Bird Bigz die out of the Winter Mini catalogue. I think this might end up a must have lol. It was great watching a group of Demonstrators decorating their tins and seeing how different each tin turned out.

Growing Green One sheet Wonder

One Sheet Wonder is a technique for using a single stamped sheet of cardstock cut into multiple pieces to create a quick set of cards, this could also be used to make 3-D projects or scrapbook pages. You have the choice of using a single stamp image or multiple stamp images. We used this technique in class last night to make 6 cards. This is the project Rachael Knight showed us how to do make at Stamp camp in march. I used a Stamp set called growing green I love this stamp set because the leaf image reminds me of the fern my mother used to have. Below is the set of cards I made

I hope you have all had a lovely break over the Easter weekend. We have some fabulous new products in the new Autumn Winter mini catalogue, including the Blossom Punch, Twitterpated Designer Paper, one of the gorgeous little Twitterpated Buttons (don't you just love that name) plus the fabulous new Edgelits, I also used the sentiment from the stamp set Apothecary Art, needless to say I had to have a play with all of these. This is the card I made (any excuse to disappear into my craft room) as a sample for my Autumn Winter Mini catalogue launch.
