Wonderland Wreath

Been working hard with my Wonderland stamps... and surprised at my favourite creations!

First off... the wreath... 

The pine-cone spray is perfectly angled to create this wreath...

Edited to add - How To Pictorial for you here....

Have the pine-cone spray  stamped up on your Stamp A Ma Jig sheet...

Draw round a Circle Framelit with pencil (or Frixion pen in my world!) on your piece of card - I used the 2 5/8" external diameter one!

Place your Stamp A Jig sheet so that the pine-cone curls round your circle....

Ink up all the stamp in Mossy Meadow - then grab your Early Espresso marker- and colour over the pine-cone with Early Espreso

And stamp...

Repeat the last 3 steps again and again until the spray meets...

Note that you do have a little wiggle room for error in one place - it is called the ribbon bow! Though mine actually fit round perfectly...

The greeting is from Embellished Ornaments - it was just too perfect not to use! Again that is inked  all over with Mossy Meadow - and the Early Espresso marker used to highlight particular words...

And all finished off simply with gold Dazzling Details "berries" and a gold glitter ribbon bow.

Simple but perfectly formed...

Tin of Cards #1

With the new catalogue...Stampin ' Up! released a very special kit of cards in a tin... This kit has already proven to be the most popular kit of all time... and so it has already been out of stock 3 times...

But I and a few friends were really lucky... they made a very quick decision on seeing the catalogue cover that they wanted to do the tin.... so I was able to quick off the mark to order... and so I got supplies... so we had a lovely day making lots of really easy cards...

So I have a few cards to share with you..... I will share the 14 cards I made from the tin over 4 posts this week...

Me being me hasn't quite done the intended cards!!! I wanted to do a few Fancy Fold cards as well as the straightforward ones.... Although all the card, paper and embellishments were in the tin and I did
get out a few additional stamp sets - just 4 extras above the co-ordinating Tin Of Cards set ... A Dozen Thoughts which we used quite a lot.... and Amazing Birthday & Flowering Flourishes and Something for Baby & Baby's First Framelits - which were just each used for a single card....

Oh and if you would like to do these at home - or join us at the Craft Spa here in Great Ouseburn, North Yorkshire to do the Tin of Cards class - which will be £25 - please do not hesitate to contact me - I would like to get the tins ordered asap - need to reserve my stock from the big batch being shipped over from the States! Though I cannot run my repeat class until August... which I am fine about!

And a funny story for you.... my friends just wanted the tin and the dividers...they didn't spot all the 16 cards that went with it... there again...neither did I when I first saw the tin!!! I just knew I had to have it too....

So this first batch of cards are the very sparkly gold foil striped collection!

The Hello card is much as Stampin' Up! intended with a bit of extra stamping ... but I had a play around with the other 3.

So we have a Congrats Tunnel Fold card suitable for a Wedding

A CAS Thank You card

And a CAS Happy Birthday card

And here is everything I used for the whole class session
