Stampers 6 Club - Up and running!

Just a quick update to let you know that the last place in my Stampers 6 Club has gone - so we are up and running! If you have missed out on this opportunity and would like to take part in a future club - let me know.

In the meantime we had a great evening at my last class making some traditional style christmas cards using a mixture of techniques. This one used the cracked glass technique. I took the inspiration for this card from a combination of cards that I saw recently and would like to thank Terri Pocock and Val Moody for sharing the technique and I CASD the idea of using the bauble punch from a lady at Split Coast Stampers (sorry I can't remember her name). It just reminded me of the old fashioned glass baubles that we used to hang on our christmas tree when I was a child. Funny the things you remember! I hope you like it - and if you fancy having a go yourself I still have a couple of places left on my class list for 21st October.

New catalogue Launch

A huge thank you to all the lovely ladies who joined Cate and I for our Catalogue Kick Off Party yesterday afternoon. It was such a great day and everyone joined in the fun - lots of cake and two make and takes! If you haven't had a chance to get your hands on the new catalogue then click on the image to your left and take a peek at it online.

This is one of the cards that we made as a make and take. The image is from a lovely new set called Beautiful Season. It is a classic image and just shouted out to be colour tinted. Add a top note card, some cherry cobbler card embossed with the vintage wallpaper folder and you have the basis for your card. Simple!

Hopefully, now I've worked out how to use pictures directly from my camera on to my netbook I will be able to post pictures more regularly!

It's been getting very girly recently so I thought I would show you another men's card (I don't think I've shown you this one before!). Father's Day will be here before we know it (June 19th) and it's never too early to get that card made! Have a look back at the other men's cards that I've posted - you won't be short of ideas and there's still time to order the stamp if you need it!
