Easter Card & Treat Box - Card Class

Hello everyone and what a scorcher of a day! It has been lovely and warm. Last night was my second card making class and we were all busy making this wonderful Easter Card using the Sweet Treat Cups and a 2 4 6 8 box.

There were 5 new class members and although the card was a little tricky, they all made it beautifully, along with their boxes. We all worked hard and enjoyed creating these beautiful treats.

These are some of their creations, some were so chuffed with what they created, it's such a wonderful feeling going away with something you've made from scratch. Being a primary teacher, now I know how the children feel when they ask to take their work home and I reply "Can I put it on the wall first!".

This one was made by the lovely Caroline.

Barbara enjoyed making these 2, aren't they gorgeous, I think the stem and leaves are perfect.

This was made by the wonderful Sacha, who now is also hooked on Stampin' Up!

And Karen below, was just over the moon with her creation, she just didn't think she could make something like this, but with the right products, co-ordinating colours, stamps and punches - it is!

It was a wonderful evening, full of laughter, creativity and my Spiced Apple Cake, which went down a treat. I cannot wait until the next one of the 3rd of May, where we'll be making a Wedding Card and acceptance card. If you would like to join us, email me at head-over-heels-by-dlm@hotmail.com

I have a tutorial for the above card, so if you would like to know how we did it, just email me.

Until next time, let's hope the sun keeps shining!

New Mini Catalogue Blog Hop

Good morning everybody, it's a wonderful sunny day here in Chelmsford, Essex - I wonder how long it will last for!
Well, I have been making a few projects and I am going to show two of my favourite. The first uses the Big Shot, and the die I used is the Scallop Envelope Die.
Here is the Big Shot, for those of you who aren't too sure what it is, I will be writing post about it in a couple of days, to tell you about my offer and it's versatility.

 It seems small to start off with but there are so many different projects you can do with it, from the basket shown below to a little wallet on the front of a card (which i hope to upload later, so please pop back!)

The next also uses the Big Shot for the background, but this is an embossing folder, called Vintage Wallpaper. I then used the fabulous Build a Blosson Stamp Set, which comes with a coordinating Punch. Here is this little card. 

To see more beautiful projects using products from the New Mini Catalogue (which you can find in the sidebar, or send me an email at head-over-heels-by-dlm@hotmail.com and I will send you a copy), go to Zambezi . I will be uploading a tutorial for the basket later this weekend! In the meantime, enjoy blog hopping and I look forward to reading any of your comments.

Thanks for visiting
