Back to work …. MORE sneak peaks !

…. after all the Rising Star celebrations !  Thank you to everyone who sent cards, gifts and messages.  I truly am so thankful to you all!

Well back to work again, as I’ve got a couple more really important challenges to achieve this year – and of course, my loyal customers will also benefit !  Win-win !

These are some cards that I have made using the amazing Ornament Keepsake set.  They’re not just for making ornaments you know !  I’ve also used the sentiments from Contempo Christmas, and the ‘branches’ on the red and green card were made using one of the ‘trees’ from Lovely as a Tree. The stunning designer papers are from the gorgeous Candlelight Christmas designer papers in the new Autumn/Winter catalogue.  These are now my absolute favourite Christmas papers of ALL TIME – I love em !

 

     

Here are a couple of Thank You Notelets that I have made using …. well, lets just say that you DO NOT want to miss out on this stamp set and roller from a certain NEW catalogue that will be launching very, very soon ……

 

DON’T FORGET – for September ONLY, I am offering FREE postage on orders over £50 … AND …. for every £50 spent, you will earn a raffle ticket with the opportunity to win a BIG SHOT.  THREE lucky runners-up will also win a £10 gift voucher.

STAMPERS GROUP

I have 3 places left in my next Stampers Group starting in October.  What is a stampers group ?  Well, you commit to spending £15 (or more, plus postage) every month for 10 months.  During the 10 months, YOU will be the ‘virtual’ hostess for one of those months, and you will have AT LEAST £25 to spend on anything that you want from the current catalogues.  You will receive all the new catalogues FOR FREE and any catalogues that are launched during your time in the group.  If you show your catalogue to other crafting friends who place an order during your hostess month, then the amount you have to spend on FREE products, will increase !

Now has never been a better time to join a Stampers Group.  We have just had the launch of the new Seasonal Catalogue, and on the 1st October, we have the launch of the new Annual Catalogue !

If you wish to place an order, or if you have any queries or questions, then please contact me on carole.bryson@gmail.com or 01706 351299/07765 847062.

Autumn ….. I thought it would ..

…… be a break from Christmas !!!!!!!

But its NOT !!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha ha …. just want to try and fool some of my anti-Christmas-at-the-moment friends – you know who you are girls ahem Denize, Jackie G & Co !!!

This layout was made using the flocked acetate sheet from the beautiful Candlelight Christmas designer series paper.  The paper is available in the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue from Stampin Up! which is launching this weekend ! In this set you will receive a set of 12 double sided papers, 2 of which are flocked acetate – the quality is undeniable, believe me !

Instructions

1.  Stamp and die-cut three ornaments from the Ornament Keepsake bundle using real red and gumball green inkpads.

2. Stamp and cut out the large label from the Everything Eleanor stamp set using real red.

3. Cut three strips of paper from the Candlelight Christmas designer papers. Make the varying lengths and widths.

4. Punch out a gumball green label with the designer label punch.  Also cut out another label, but push the short end  back into the punch, and punch a { sign.

5. Adhere your layers as shown in my layout.  I added some real red grosgrain ribbon.  To do this, I put on some red sticky strip, and pleated the ribbon in the ‘normal’ way, and then crossing and twisting it over.  To ensure the ribbon laid flat, I put glue dots under the folds.

6. Cut some thin strips of very vanilla cardstock, and add your journalling.

7. To adhere the stamped and cut out baubles, I threaded a darning needle with bakers twine.  I wrapped the twine around the top of the bauble, and then poked the needle through the acetate.  I brought the twin down the back of the page following the same line of twine at the front, and then taped down the end at the back of the bauble so that the twine on the back didn’t show.

8.  Adhere the { sign and the green decorate label as shown. 

9. Add a real red grosgrain bow, your title using whatever medium you prefer -  and voila !
