2013 Stampin' Up! Catalogue launch fun 1

I love getting the new Stampin' Up! catalogue each year, new products to play with and a get together with several wonderful customers.  This year was a simple get together to make the following... a gift box, a card featuring Mosaic Madness and the most stunning project, a Purse Easel Card.

This post is to simply reflect on a lovely afternoon, to inspire each other and remember the beautiful creations of each person.  In no particular order, this is what each customer made...

Sherenne's creations have been featured before and how lovely are these?

 

Marianne - First class with me and wow her creations are awesome.

Betty's creations are always stunning...
 

Lenny made this gorgeous trio - love the ribbon on her card and the doily on the other as a background.
 

Amy is new to our group, but wow, aren't these gorgeous.

This lovely trio was created by Amy's daughter Jordan.

Bev was pleased with her beautiful effort
 

Heather Falknau made her easel card for a 21st - stunning isn't it, as are the rest of her creations.

Thank you ladies for a lovely afternoon of crafting.  I not only enjoyed your company, but seeing what you made was exciting and inspiring.  

Love

Secret Garden meets Floating Reinker Water Colouring 2

My last post for Secret Garden meets Floating Reinker water colouring was very popular and requested as a class.  These are just some of the creations the girls made....


A Crafty Cat - Stampin' Up! Secret Garden with Floating Re-inker Technique

The technique is simply

• Stamp images on Gloss Cardstock with versamark and powder emboss in white.  
• Liberally spritz embossed images with water.  
• Dip an aqua pen in a drop of re-inker and then dab this over the embossed images. 
• For more detail please click HERE for pictorial instruction (how stunning is that colour combination) and HERE for a You Tube Video.

Here are some more examples...
