FLORAL PHRASES & FLORAL BOUTIQUE BUFFET

This Sunday will be my first card making buffet … a bit like a card making class with eight different card options on the menu!

The menu will feature the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Floral Phrases stamp set and Floral Boutique DSP [Designer Series Paper for anybody new to my blog or to Stampin’ Up!]. We will also use other products … such as the Detailed Floral Thinlits … for these cards.

CALENDAR UPDATE

Wow … it’s been two weeks since I hosted my Catalogue Launch … where does the time go??

… and it is only a week until our first monthly class featuring the new catalogue … this month is …

JARS IN JULY

Before I worked on the cards for our July class, I wanted to make some shaker jars … and this is the result – my SHAKER JARS CARD IN A BOX … using some retired buttons alongside new Floral Boutique Designer Washi Tape, a Swirly Birds stamp and other current and new products …

This card was inspired by Sharon Burkert [As the Ink Dries] … I love the new In Colours … especially Dapper Denim and Flirty Flamingo!

… and this card was inspired by the ‘guess the number of lollies in the jar’ fundraisers everyone has experienced – whether it is jelly beans or gumballs – who can ever guess the correct number?

IMG_1592

… and the final project is a 3×3 gift card … these cards are becoming a favourite of mine … a little something special for those “small” day to day events!

So … July is all about JARS …

check out what is happening over the next few months by opening the link to WHAT’S ON @ STAMPIN’ TIME … loads of fun and creativity between now and Christmas …

Enjoy …
