Coming Home and Home Together Dies.

 So a bit of a first for me...my spring Stampin Up! delivery is stuck in the system...Brexit!!!

So while I have a little lockdown time on my hands I thought I would carry on with this set.  

It was very popular purchase from the Winter Catalogue...hopefully spring now far away and I can get going on that brown box of craft goodies...once it arrives.

Gift Wrapped.

 So this was he final class of 2020.  It is a lovely set as it has a co-ordinating punch, always popular as you get instant results.  

I hope you have enjoyed the run of the christmas classes on my Blog, I just apologise for the lateness of them all.....I have been juggling too many things!!

Happy 2021 everyone. 

Christmas Door Wreath.

 Here is my Christmas Door wreath for 2020.  It was so popular I had quite a few orders for them!  On the back of that I have re-launched my online floristry service, which I am delighted to say goes live again on the 16th January.  You can see my website at  emmaloufloristry.com

Trimming the Town.

 This set was the ultimate set for me this year.  I really loved putting the designs together for an evening of crafting through the post, (via Zoom).  This time we used the wonderful SU blends...I have never used them before but they are really easy to use,  very smooth and they give a lovely finish to your projects.  The matching DSP that goes with this set is well....what can I say, it is now January and I am still making cards with it..I just can't seem to put it down...so many ideas keeping coming into my head.

Anyway here is what we got up to with this class!!  If you purchased this set, I am sure you agree it was probably the most loved this Christmas.

Customer Thank You's.

 For the ladies who either shopped with me recently or came to class or even received a class in the post, they all got treated to a little handmade box from me!

Hope they found them useful for the Christmas wrapping that takes place!!

Peaceful Boughs

So this stamp set has definitely the one that got away from the SU annual catalogue.  It has co-ordinating framelits and the set is very pretty. It is still available till may 2021 if you felt like getting ahead of the game and start your Christmas crafting early!!!

Anyway here is the class which was mailed in the post due to the pandemic.

  

Cherish the Season

 We just managed to go under the radar for this class before more lockdown restrictions came back....one set of lovely ladies received this class in the post and had a fun Zoom meeting putting it together.

Stitched Leaves Dies/Love of Leaves.

 Autumn kicked off with this class.  It was good to be back crafting with small groups of ladies.  When I chose this set from the catalogue I was a bit underwhelmed, however once I started using it I absolutely loved it..here is what we go up to!

 

Varied Vases Stamp Set and Coordinating Punch.

During these very unusual times we are all facing I actually have had 5 minutes to have a sort out of my craft cupboard and came across this beautiful stamp set called Varied Vases.

I ran a class last Autumn using this stamp set and coordinating punch which makes the whole project really easy!  It was a very popular make and I had to repeat the class twice as I had so many ladies that wanted to attend!

This was the original project that I held classes for...

So yesterday the sun was shining albeit rather windy which gave me some inspiration to go for some spring colours.  I love the way the stamp set can be used in lots of different ways to reflect the time of year.

I will be making some more examples of how this set can be used so please stop by again to take a look.

Hand Stamped Fabric Bags.

Just want to share this idea!

I hand stamped these bags with Stampin Up! classic ink pads!  You can't get them wet but the stamps and ink work really well together!

You get a lovely clear image and no fading!!  I love them and so did my lucky ladies to attended my 2 day retreat!

I hope you enjoy then pictures!!  (the bags I made myself but you could probably find similar online to buy).

A quick table gift!

I managed to squeeze a quick class in at the end of the summer...

The ladies who attended each received one of these cute boxes...

Here I have used the new Lace Die to make a pretty front for the box..

The die is called then Stitched Lace Die from Stampin Up! you can check it out in my online shop here

A fun Day Training!

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to deliver a short presentation to a group of delegates who had never crafted before!!

We had about 20 minutes to create something so I demonstrated a really simple card!

They absolutely loved the project and the whole idea they were walking away with something they had made...

To give them a bit more insight to Stampin Up! I took along with me my inspiration board with some of the recent projects I had made.

Just after my session we broke for coffee and they were over the moon to receive these boxes I made with a freddo chocolate inside...

What a great experience teaching a group of people with no experience at all!!!

Inspiration for a summer card!

My garden seems to be in full bloom at the moment so I took some inspiration and made this pretty hydrangea card, they are my favourite plant in the garden this time of year and I am so lucky as I seem to have inherited quite a few!

Luckily the last few days of rain and wind has not done too much damage and I could not resist taking a picture of this beautiful bloom.

I used the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and Bouquet Bunch Framelits Dies to create this card, which are easily available from my online Stampin Up! store.

Crafting Forever

I made a batch of these cards from the Crafting Forever stamp set for a recent class.

The ladies received them as their table gift.

If you are a crafter you may want to add this stamp set to your collection!


Please visit my online shop for all the inspiration!

Varied Vases from Stampin Up!

Love this!!  So this was the make at a recent class using the Varied Vases Stamp Set and
co-ordinating punch! This stamp set has been around for a while and I seemed to of overlooked it!  However it makes the most elegant of cards and with the punch its so quick!

I also used the ready to go acetate boxes also from Stampin Up so the beautiful cards were now an instant gift!!

The pretty peacock ribbon finished the box off, and I made a cute tag to finish the look!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you agree its a beautiful stamp set!
