Dress Up set

This is a classic girly set! Stamps up beautifully. Perfect for a girls birthday party and they loved it. I just put out a variety of 'brights' colours and let them stamp away.
Its also a great set to make a quick childrens card, as shown here, this was literally a 5 minute card.
We made the bags at the party as well, with a folded top note for the closing.
I think they looked great!

Cats

I had a birthday party to run in the weekend, the girl who was turning ten was really into cats so I came up with these two projects, the cute handbag and punchart note pad. It was a busy fun time with 10 happy girls.

Mothers Day

For Mothers day classes we did a range of projects. at the kids class i new I had some siblings coming so I needed to have two options of cards and of gifts so they could choose a different one each to give to mum. So I had 12 children to make one card and one gift each, 4 different projects on the go at once! I certainly worked hard that afternoon in the 1 1/2 hr class. As always I had prepped a good amount which generally made things run smoothly.
I have recently bought blossom party originals die. i am loving that, I have made a big box full of colours and sizes and the kids love being able to just choose for themselves. Its also really great to have on hand to just make a quick card myself.
The small flower card is a notepad with a sticky note pad in it. The owl bookmark is made with the two tags die, folded over to make a pocket and an over sized paperclip in the back which slides on to books. And here is one of the cards the children made, with lots of different colour choices along this design, so they could add their individual twist.

My kids made me secret cards, my little guy (7) making the collage one by just going through the scrap box and Phoebe making her owl one, I had just bought the word window and she had seen me use it once so had the idea of it. She said the owls were on surfboards!
hope you had a lovely mothers day!

Holiday Class for kids

School holidays and I'm busy doing a few kids classes and my favourite ones which are, mums and kids classes, I love seeing them working together on a project, creating something special.

I have used the milk carton die to make the bird houses and then lots of punching to decorate. Then we followed the bird theme through with a small gift tag and a cover for a packet of lollies to give. The last activity was a free choice card where I put out some stamps and inks and let them have free range. This is the first time I've been brave enough to try this, I gave a small intro and a few do's and don'ts.....and it went really well, kids cleaned their stamps carefully and used the inks well with some great results.

I borrowed the die off a friend (thanks Karen), though it will be going to the top of my wish list now as it is soooooo cute and versatile.

Kids Class, Mothers Day and a birthday card.

At this weeks kids class we made these cute Lion stand up calendars. The kids love punch art. I do one punch art and one Stamping activity each week. The kids are becoming really great Stampers and love creating a card for someone special.

Last week at training, I taught this card, using the set Make a cake. This is such a cute little set and only costs $24.95, affordable and versatile.

And lastly a mothers day card which we have made in class this wee, which I loved from Pinterest. Its a tri fold with the fabulous set Mixed bunch and the matching punch.

Here are 2 more cards using the mixed bunch set, made from talented ladies in our team.

And lastly....today a lovley friend of my kids came home after school, Olivia aged 7, all my gear was still on the table from todays class so she got busy with leftovers from the scrap bin and a few punches and came up with this lovely card to give to her teacher tomorrow....I just had to share it as it was a wonderful original creation.

Bye for now

That Windmill die

What an absolute cutie that windmill die is....and the set of words that tie in with it nicely, wishes your way.
Everyone at classes has loved that and it has sold itself easily. Also I love giving cards with it on as it is so novel.
Here is one of my favourites I have made.

Little gifts and invites

We have a great team at our monthly team training, though sadly a couple have dropped off, due to life 'happenings' The ladies are very generous of their knowlege and resources.
Last month I made these little treat holders with a chocolate for all, a small gesture, but so easy to do.

My daughter has just turned 10, double digit darling now.
We made these together to give her birthday invitaions in.

Admittedly not all Stampin Up paper but, otherwise the handbag die and the scallop oval punch and oval punch. Stampin Up punches are something I never regreat buying.
