Cottage Garden and Cottage Wall - and a prize!!!

Hi everyone,

I just love this set Cottage Garden from the Autumn Winter Mini. As soon as I saw it I just had to have it. Anyway I have been having a lovely play with it and have come up with set of 4 cards and a tote bag to match.

I am offering this as a workshop class. For $10.00 you and your friends can make this. If you would like envelopes to go with the cards then the cost will be $15.00. Contact me to book your workshop.

Here is a close up of all of the cards.

For a bit of fun, the person to correctly identify all the new products out of the Autumn Winter Mini  catalogue used on these cards will get this set sent to them. If there is more than one correct entry then my DD's will draw the name out of a hat.  You have until Friday 9th April to enter.

I will update my blog with the receipe after Friday.

Another ESAD Blog Hop

Hi everyone,

Just a quick one to provide you guys to a link for the second ESAD blog hop that just started this morning. As I participated last time I don't have anything to show you but if you start here (Stamp-A-Latte by Leonie Schroder), you will navigate around the second hop. Go on and enjoy there are a lot of very talented ladies out there.

I will back later on today to show you some of my new creations - but I am about to have 7 children descend upon me for their Mum and Me class.

'Til next time,

Juliette

Textured Impressions

Hi everyone,


I have to say I am so in love with the Textured Impression Embossing Folders from SU! for use in the Big Shot. Before I had the Big Shot I had another die cutting machine (same brand just a cheaper version), and used another brands embossing folders in it all the time.

We have two embossing folders that are only available to Stampin' Up!. Perfect Polka Dots (which I have used already on a couple of previous posts) and Manhattan Flower. If you like the Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp Set, then you are going to love this embossing folder. I am show casing the two embossing folders in my Technique Class later on in the month (Tuesday 20th and Thursday 22nd April - contact me to make a booking). If you can't make it to class why not book an in home workshop?

Here are two of the cards that we will be making.

'Til next time,

Mum and Me Class

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to show you what the kids are making at my Mum and Me class that I am running during the holidays. For $5.00 the kids will get to choose whether they want to make a card or a pillow box using Fox and Friends from the Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue. If they want to make both then the cost is $10.00. This class is aimed at children aged 5 and above. I have one space left this Wednesday (7thApril) and three spaces available on Tuesday (13th April). Contact me if you want to come.

To make sure that children could actually do this class I got my beautiful girls to have ago. Now DD5 did most of hers by herself and here is her result. I sandwiched the enevelope onto the Big Shot but she had no trouble cranking the handle!!!

Here she has used her favorite colours Lovely Lilac and Pixie Pink.

DD3 had a go too and despite the fact she could choose any colours she chose the same as DD5. Now with some help from Mummy (mainly just making sure that the stamp was inked properly), DD3 did a good job. She too had no trouble cranking the handle on the Big Shot. Here is her result.

I think I have two budding SU! demonstrators on my hands don't you?

For good measure this is what I made - just for a change of colour!!! Using Tempting Turquoise and Only Orange.

If you are unable to attend but think this would be a really good idea for your children to get involved in this wonderful craft, then why not think about booking me for a kids party? Prices start at $10.00 per child, this includes all the cardstock required and inks and you get me for at least an hour. I will also taylor the class to what you would prefer whether it be cardmaking, 3D items or scrapbooking. The more product used the more per child. I will travel anywhere within greater Sydney.

'Til next time,

Juliette
