Creative Post as Promised

I have finally got to use some of the new products that I purchased some time ago, and I am loving the new Core'dinations Card Stock (found in the Holiday Catalogue pg 6) I have used it in both cards I'm sharing today. It's supper easy to use and gives a great effect - don't you think?

This one uses the Holiday Frame Embossing Folder.

This one is using the Lacy Brocade Embossing folder. Not sure which one I like best, how about you?

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting,

Amanda

Oh My.........

Oh my, I've been MIA the past few months and so much has happened!

Firstly apologies to those that have stopped by recently to find I've been MIA and secondly, please let me fill you in on the past few months excitements........

September 1st gave us our BRAND NEW Annual Catalogue - filled with inspiration - it's so lovely!

September 1st also gave us our NEW Holiday Catalogue - loaded with lovely Christmas ideas!
You'll find links to both catalogues on the right, but if you would rather hard copies please contact myself and we can arrange to get one in your hot little hands.

October has been rather busy with classes making the Christmas Advent Calendars - everyone made wonderful unique creations - love them all.

My daughters school also held a Spring Fair last weekend, so I had been busy preparing for my stall, it was a wonderful day - Hi to all those that stopped in to my stall. We raised much needed funds to update our wonderful little school. Stampin' Up! played a part in this also, donating products to raffle on the day, there were some very happy winners!

November brings us closer to Christmas, so I'll be holding Christmas Card classes click here for more info, would love to have you join us.

If you've made it this far into my post - thank you - and stay tuned I'll have some 'creative' posts coming regularly over the next month, starting tomorrow!

Happy crafting,

Amanda

Going, going, gone!

There are some great savings to be had with some great discounts. But to avoid disappointment, place your order ASAP as items WILL sell out before the end of month.

JAI Scrap #7

Today I'm joining in on a scrap challenge over at Just Add Ink with the requirements being - Just Add - Hidden Journalling or Memorabillia!

So here is my scrap page that I created a few weeks ago while on a scrap retreat weekend that I shared with some wonderful ladies! It was great to have some "me time" and 48hrs to scrap!!

Who would have thought PINK for a Christmas page?

And for the hidden journalling I have made a mini envelope using Stampin' Up's Scallop Envelope Die and put in the letter my daughter wrote to Santa - to her joy, she found what she wished for Xmas morning!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope to have inspired you :)

It's all about the Paper - Blog Hop!

Designer Series Paper (DSP)

Today I'm joined by 7 fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators to share some wonderful creations using our lovely Designer Series Paper or DSP as we like to say.

You may have found me from Christine Blain's blog or you can start here, either way please enjoy all the lovely creations we have for you.

DSP is so much more than scrapbooking and cards.........Here I have used

it to cover some notebooks and pencil tubes for my monthly market stall.

Simple gift idea for the kiddies.

Here I have used it on this train.

and this is a favourite of mine. I have made 5 of these as gifts

and this was a custom order I did earlier in the year.

Designer Series Paper can be used for loads of things, and if you don't like one side

of the paper, simply turn it over to find something different.

Don't forget that May is Paper Party Month! So for any 3 packs of DSP you purchase you can select 1 FREE pack! Or if you sign up as a demonstrator this month, you can also receive 1 FREE pack each month from June to Dec - 7 FREE packs, now that's a lot of paper! - Info can be found HERE or you can contact me anytime and I'll be happy to answer an questions.
