A Shelli case

A complete case from Shelli Gardner, and also one we made at a recent training day.

One for the girls class

Crafting is the perfect activity for this frosty weather. There is nothing like staying inside with the heater on, playing with paper and stamps while its cold outside. And, if you would like some inspiration, why not come along to the class this Saturday where we will be making these girly projects.

First up is this cupcake card using the twitterpated fabric and matching papers.
Dont worry, everything is cut out with a punch for this.


Then we will be making this ever so cute jeans card inspired by one my lovely downline Jenny showed me. Very easy to make, and contains a little birthday message in the pocket.


Then we have this super quick pink card using the framelits and some beautiful vellum.


To finish with we will be making this small decorated box, with a little birthday surprise inside.


A decorated tealight which looks like a birthday cake. And lots of room to write a personal message if you like.


I think I have just the person in mind for this. I'm sure she will love it.

If you would like to come along this Saturday at 10am you are more than welcome. Class cost is only $20 and includes everything, all materials, tools and morning tea.
Classes are relaxed, and there is always lots of chatting going on. Beginners are most welcome. Infact I usually find its the beginners who finish first and create the most amazing work! If you would like to attend please email me to let me know so I can prepare the kit for you.

Emergency pouch

This is a little something to pop in the purse with a few emergency items.


I included some tissues and cotton buds and a home made sewing kit.


There is also room for important notes or a gift card.
Instructions for this are on the Scor Pal website. (Its a photo holder on the site).
It uses one sheet of paper and only some simple folding.

Everything flowers class

I totally love flower stamps, and the free set available this month with a $125 purchase is no exception. I have used one of the stamps from it here on this sympathy card. It's always handy to have a sympathy card in the cupboard.


This card (which looks a bit terrible in the photo) is very shimmery, with lots of added sparkle..... the gold looks an awful colour in the photo! To stamp the flower we are using a handmade stamp pad.


I love being able to whip a box for a gift whenever I need one. The new simply scored makes this so easy to do. I will be giving you an easy tip for making a lid that fits every time.


Lots of little cards to fill your box will be fun to make with some colouring. So therapeutic.
I have visions of us making four little envelopes to go in the box too....just waiting for something to arrive to help us make them. It will definitely be here by next Wednesday.
I am offering this class on Wednesday the 13th and Saturday 23rd at 10am and cost is $20. If you would like to attend please email me so I can prepare a kit for you.

Free things

Yah, a free stamp set (Reason to Smile stamp set) with any $125 purchase!!! But I will better that and give you $35 to spend, however you like on anything you like, in addition. So that's a free stamp set (wood or clear mount) and $35 for free to spend on any merchandise of choice (including hostess sets). Email me your order today at lovemumandme@bigpond.com

Petal cone box

I have been meaning to post this little box for ages.... the pic has been sitting on my desktop for ever. It was made with the petal cone die. Simple, easy and cute.
Now this is a bit of an expensive die.....but this month is definitely the month to think about it. Why? I'll let you know in the next post.

Cards for kids class

Hi everyone, hope your week is wonderful.

I had alot of fun preparing for this weeks class. Kids cards are so bright and fun, and quick to make too. Gotta love that! I thought I would start with a simple little baby card. I have used blue ribbon here, but pink would work equally well, if you know a little female angel is on the way.

"I dig you" is such a cool stamp set for boys, and I love the dirtday saying.

This little robot, is a card I saw in Better and Homes and Gardens by Lisa Storms over a year ago and just fell in love with. Actually, it was why I purchased the magazine. You can make either the girl or boy version in the class.

Did you notice the chocolate belly. My kids thought this was the best!

Now, onto kids that a little bit older....Angry birds are all over the place, and almost every boy, big or small, seems to love them. These cards are easy and quick to make, but pack a punch with colour. My kids were really excited to see these, although my oldest son was upset I didn't make piggy. Maybe tonight.

I think this would be a good card for my husband...looks a bit like him.

And last, but not least a little bag for some goodies for the girls. You can make this in any colour you like. I know my nieces always love to carry around a handbag, and wouldn't it be nice with a cute little gift inside. Maybe some jewellery or some decorated pencils.

I am offering this class on Saturday the 19th and Wednesday the 23rd at 10am. Class cost is $25 and includes the 6 projects with all materials and tools, and a cuppa thrown in for good measure. If you would like to attend, please email me asap so i can prepare a kit for you.

A note to say thanks

It's always nice to say thanks to someone who has done something for you, so I made this simple little note with with a decorated envelope for a class a few weeks back. I am going to try very hard to send out more thank you's this year. Hopefully it will put a few smiles on peoples faces.
Paper used is the beautiful attic boutique from the mini. Love!

Catalogue CASES class

There are so many beautiful samples in the catalogue, and I always, always plan to make them, but, somehow just never get around to it. Sound familiar? So this time I did it. I made four of my favourites for this class. The first is a simple card for a man. I love that tie, and I love the colours SU used.

This has always been my all time favourite. I love the many layers and textures they have achieved with varying materials.

I have changed the colours on this card, but kept the design basically the same. Just wanted to pretty it up a bit.

And lastly, a classic card I have always admired.
If you would like to attend this class on Saturday at 10am please let me know asap so I can prepare a kit. I am also happy to have a class this Wednesday the 16th should there be enough interest.

Specials

Its the 10th of May, and I am only getting around to tell you about this months special. How slack of me. It's a good one. Purchase any three packs of $18.95 packs of paper and get one free!

Celebrating Mum

Another simple card we made at the last class. The background was created using the simply scored tool. The inner white flower was cut from felt to add some texture.

Catch Up

Firstly I would just like to apologise for my absence lately.
The house renovations are coming along nicely, but with so much going on, I don't have a lot of time for crafting. That coupled with the day I went for my morning walk, and came home to find my whole crafting space a disaster zone. You see, my husband decided to paint my space and very quickly dumped all my stuff in the middle of the lounge room. Wow, was I surprised when I came home to find all my precious supplies treated so badly. And boy did it take along time to sort them out and find a home for them all. I am still getting there!
But, saying all that, the inside of the house is nearly finished. Nearly, So hopefully I can get back to normal posting soon.

Here is a card we made at my last class. Its uses the faux tile technique. Very easy to do with the simply scored tool. Just score some lines in two directions to get squares and then stamp an image on top. Then gently press a versamark pad over the image and emboss with clear embossing powder to make it lovely and shiny. We used the scented embossing powder in the class so not only do they have a beautiful and glossy finish but smell great too.
