Parties = Gifts

So Lynnette and Lou had Stampin' Up parties in September and October and these are the gifts I made them...
 

From a plain boring cardboard tube to this stunning decorated gift containing sleep balm and mist.

Autumn Harvest

                                                       
Last week and last night I held an autumn class and these are the cards we made. On the first two we used Stampin' Up! Core'dinations card stock which is available in Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green and Early Espresso, the latter being my favourite as it has the most contrasting core! The leaves were cut with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die and embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. We also added a Brushed Bronze Button.


 









I coloured the Tweet Leaves stamp with Stampin' Up! markers and carefully stamped onto the precut leaf, a delicate operation! I offered an alternative to the ladies of rocking and rolling the stamp which also creates a great effect.


The second & third cards use the very bright and lovely colour combo Orchard Harvest DSP. I wasn't too sure about this Perfectly Preserved set, which also has some matching Framelits [Cannery] to start with but it has grown on me so to speak!


 I had great fun with these additional versions, putting the fruit through the Lattice Embossing Folder or just simply cutting them out in the Orchard Harvest papers. I also put the back mat through the Woodgrain Embossing Folder twice as it's too long! As well as trying it with the now retired Fiskars Crimper.

Xmas Ornament Class

Having made the beautiful Xmas Ornament from the front of the Autumn/Winter Catalogue at a recent Stampin' Up! Training Day, my crafty ladies were itching to make one too, they also made these two cards featuring Xmas ornaments. The larger ornaments come from the set Ornament Keepsakes which we cut out with the Big Shot using the Holiday Ornaments Framelits. These are great value as you can buy them as a bundle with 15% off in the Stampin' Up! Autumn/Winter Catalogue. The tiny ornaments are stamped with the Merry Minis stamp set and matching punches. Sooo cute! These are placed in the middle of the gorgeous Holiday Frame Embossing Folder, which I then highlighted with some Shimmer Paint.
