Oh Hello Technique Club

Hi there and welcome to my blog today. I am having a lazier day today as I have been full on with classes since Friday evening. On Friday I had 17 lovely ladies for Stamp a Stack and then yesterday I had 6 scrapbookers and 4 technique club ladies. 

Its hard to prepare for all these classes over a 24 hour period, but it does mean I get a gap on a weekend now! This is what I love about Stampin Up I can run it how I want it to fit in with my family!

Happy to report that these were the first classes I have run at the church since I moved house and I didnt forget to bring anything!!!! My regular ladies know I often forget things and could be seen running back to the house to get them (it was only 2 minutes away) however my new house is a mile away so I was under pressure to remember everything!

Over the next couple of days I will share our Technique Club cards. I started my Technique Club back in February and I have a small teacher-led class and we do 3 cards using the same stamp set. I show the ladies the versatility of the set and they get it included in the cost of the class.

This was our warm up card. I saw one very similar on my favourite place to hang out - Pinterest!! All the cool kids hang out there you know!! This card made the ladies be-friend their Stamp a ma jigs and they had to get jiggy with the stamping! We loved how the patchwork effect looked when we had finished!

The colours we used were the 2011 - 2013 In colours, all of which are staying except for Lucky Limeade - poor Lucky Limeade, I feel a bit sorry for it!

The sentiment was stamped in Basic Grey and then we tied some Calypso Coral ribbon around and then tied a scrap of Pool Party Seam Binding over the knot!

Hope you like the card and come back to see the next one tomorrow!

ONLINE ORDERING

It is with regret that I have to announce that the Stampin Up Online Ordering service has been temporarily removed whilst Stampin Up sort out a few issues. I am sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you.

Rest assured I will still be taking orders and I am happy to do this over the phone or by email. My Online Reward system will not be affected and you will still be able to claim your stars for a online purchase of over £50.

See you tomorrow

Secret Garden Scrapbooking

Good Morning and happy weekend to you! Last night I enjoyed my Stamp a Stack event with 17 lovely ladies. Think I made the cards too easy as some of them were finished for 9.20pm as opposed to 10pm.

I had 4 lovely new ladies last night - Caroline, Victoria, Jill and Louise and they were all amazing!

This afternoon I have my monthly Scrapbook Club and also my Technique Club so I thought I would share the scrapbook page with you as I have already sent some of the images to my ladies for them to get their thinking caps on!!

I have to say this was totally inspired by a layout by Sarah Sagert who is a Stampin Up Artisan Design Team member, you can find her blog HERE

I have used the Natural Composition papers and the Print Poetry stack for the flowers which were made from the Secret Garden framelits.

The colours are Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit and Very Vanilla

I used an Aquabrush to wet the flowers then I scrunched them up to create these stunners! The smaller flowers are from the Boho Blossom punch.

Hope you like it and I hope my ladies enjoy re-creating it this afternoon
