Plane & Simple

Fantastic – it’s Saturday, which means that it’s the weekend, not that I can see much inky time looming nor the opportunity for R&R unfortunately! Today I’ll be busy with my ‘Cards for Dads and Lads’ class, which features the plane and simple stamp set from the mini catalogue. Here’s the group shot of the projects which we’ll be making – 3 cards and a gift box.

the colour combination is very simple and looks fab for masculine cards – Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake, with some newsprint DSP. Here are the projects in a little more detail

hopefully the ladies will enjoy making them! I’ll be back next week with some sneak peeks of the projects for my first session of ‘The Christmas Club’.

Order thank you gifts

Morning all, it’s nearly the weekend again! A quick post from me today to share some of the ‘thank you’ gifts which I made recently for my customers. The idea is one I found whilst blog-hopping, on Brenda Quintana’s blog, and it’s a fab one for using up scraps of DSP.

I pulled out some of my ‘love letters’ paper, which has to be one of my favourites from the current Stampin’ Up catalogue and teamed it with the heart punch in Riding Hood Red and a section of the ‘Thank You Kindly’ stamp, which I inked in Basic Black on Very Vanilla cardstock and sampled using the modern label punch. The handle is made from a length of Basic Black satin ribbon, and the contents are some individual wrapped chocolate squares.

I'm hoping to get some time to finish designing my next class this weekend which features the Occasional Greetings stamp set and the Elegant Soiree papers, then I might be able to share some sneak peeks early next week. Other than that, it’ll hopefully be a bit of a restful one!
