Christmas banner using Stampin Up products

The last project from the weekend away. We had to finish this at home as the advent calendar took quiet a while, it just made the whole thing last a lot longer! I still have to ad a few sequins to this, but wanted to get some photos completed.

Luxury card or Mini album Stampin Up products.

This is another project from my crafting weekend away.

This is a very special card or you can use it as a mini album. it has a belly band.

Then the card is gate fold with smaller cards inside which open, so you have plenty of room inside the card for sentiments, images, or papers and if you are using as a mini album, then you have plenty of room for pictures.

It has also made me place the stamp and die set on my want list!

Stampin' Up Gift box punch board

I have been having a go with the Gift Box Punch Board from Stampin Up. It is great, the paper sizes needed are from 6 x 6 which would make a 1.75" x 1.75" x 1.75" box, up to a 12 x 12 paper which would give a 4" Square box. The box will not need any adhesive, but I actually like to glue back the pieces that fold to the middle, that way the box keeps solid when open.

I have wrapped the Burlap ribbon around the box, and the topper has been made with the thick bakers twine in baked brown sugar. I found my flower loom that I had when I was a child and made the flower topper. Never throw away anything crafty you WILL use it again!

Stampin Up Kraft Grid Journal decorated

Stampin Up sell a lovely Kraft Grid Journal that can be decorated to your own taste. They come in a pack of two and you can see at the bottom of the post for details to purchase from my store.

The first one I altered, was purchased as soon as it was seen by someone at my work place! This one I have used a piece of the burlap ribbon, which is fun to use, it adds great texture to a project. This time I have made a paper clip as well this time instead of a book mark.

I Hope you like them. :)

Project life available from Stampin' Up

I am pleased that Stampin' Up now have project life available. It matches in with all of the Stampin Up colour ranges and is very addictive. It will fit right in with your usual 12 x 12 layouts and lets you get that back log of photos into albums.

Buy the project life here. Be careful as some of the items are digital downloads, which is great if this is what you want, but there are pocket pages, cards, stamp sets, accessory packs and journalling pens available.

I have also completed a video to show you some items.

Have fun and create some project life pages.

New Stampin Up Catalogue

The catalogue will appear in the next few hours, and I will be placing an order. If my husband is reading then the order will be completely controlled, and no over spending will occur, (hard to type with my fingers crossed)!

Last night our group of demonstrators meet up on Facebook and completed some challenges using some of the new products that we had on pre-order.

Good fun was had by all, and I have learnt that I can make cards quickly if required!

Stampin Up stamp sets and Filofax set up

I thought I would share my new Filofax details. I have got to start and keep all my notes and plans together, with out having to take my tablet to work.



Today I am making some new file tabs for it so I will add some pictures in a different post.



Very rainy here today so will be crafting ALL DAY YAYYYYYYY!

Announcement to make

I am pleased and thrilled that I have joined the Stampin Up family and am able to help and supply the lovely goodies available from Stampin Up.

You don't have to purchase from Stampin Up parties and workshops alone, you can order directly from my site here and have a lovely parcel delivered directly to your door. If you spend over £150 you also earn Stampin rewards. Find a friend who would also like to purchase and you could split the order and share the rewards.

If you wanted to join the family as well, I can also sign you up, contact me for any details or check out on my site for details.

I hope I can find some Stampin Up friends along the way.

Craft retreat project 2

This project is a card/notelet holder. You can store 5 or 6 cards and envelopes in the neat little folder. In our goody pack we got pearls, card, seam binding ribbon, buttons and a large Stampin up stamp to take home with us.

This is the outside of the wallet.

Pocket one side for the cards and one the other for the envelopes. Some decorated the wallet with papers as well. I did the spine but not the other sections.

I completed 5 cards for the inside, all in a different colour and slight differences with the decoration.

First hand made memory album

I had so much fun making this after watching so many lovely demos on you tube. People are so generous making videos so other crafters can learn new tips and techniques.

I will be making more albums.

Bird house memory album

I follow quiet a few talented crafters on blogs and You Tube, and one is Laura Denison who is designing a bird house with scrapbook memory album inside each month. I fell in love with one and had to buy the design. Please see her You Tube account at 'Following the paper trail' she has some amazing designs. This my bird house using the design, although I do not have anything to make the bird perch yet so that will be added when I find something. I really enjoyed making it. I have a bad habit of starting things and not finishing, but this I had to complete. It has tags inside for photos to be added instead of an album as some of her others have. I will be watching other designs as they come out to see if I like any of those as much as this one.

Just need to add photos now :)
