First class

It is 9 days until my first class.  I am very excited and nervous all at once.  I have 3 gorgeous friends and a brand new person that I have not even met before coming to the class.  I am really looking forward to meeting Deborah.  She made an order through me on the SU! website and of course I got her details so I thought I would ring her straight away and make contact.  I am so glad I did.  I have talked to Deb a few times over the last couple of weeks and she is really excited to be learning to make cards as well.  She is a scrapbooker, as I am, and wants to get into card making.  I am very excited to have such an enthusiastic class member.

My first class is focusing on my most favourite stamp and thinlits in the current catalogue.  Those are the Swirly Bird Stamp Set and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies.  They have a bit of everything in them and you can make so many different things, as you will see by the cards below.

 

I have also used the new Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies which just gives the cards that extra special touch.

Cheers and happy stamping

12 Years of Marriage

This is my very first blog as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I have just posted my first event and placed my first order for all that I need for said event.  I have only been a demo for 2 weeks and I feel like I have been doing this forever.

It is my wedding anniversary this Sunday, 13th November.  My lovely husband and I always get a present for each other that is a traditional symbol for that year.  This year it is Linen and I got 2 red pillow cases (his favourite colour) and had a bear and a cat with a few words embroided on them.  They are really cute and hope he likes them. (Editor's note: It is now after the weekend, I have been so busy so didn't get the chance to finish this post as yet, it is Wednesday and needless to say I do know that my hubby loved the pillowcases).

I thought I better make a card to go with the present as well.  The card is a very simple one but it says all that I wanted to say to him.

 

I absolutely love the Large Number Framelits. I used them for the first time in a class before I was a demo and knew I had to have them as soon as I could get them.

   

My husband hasn't really had a look at any of my stamps as I keep them all safely in my craft room away from my girl's little fingers but when he opened the card his first comment was "It's cool that you can get a stamp that says something like that". I took that as his approval of Stampin' Up! 😄

  

I have used the Flourishing Phrases flower in Mint Macaron with the little heart from Endless Thanks in Rich Razzleberry as a little detail.

I was very happy with the way this card turned out and I am looking forward to many more anniversary cards that will be made for my husband.

I hope you have enjoyed my first blog as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

Cheers and happy stamping
