Perfectly Penned Thank You

Perfect Blend

We made this gorgeous Vintage Envelope Punch board hot chocolate box and card at my class a few weeks ago. It was created by the very clever Barbz and is the cutest project I've seen all year. 

And, here's the cute card that fits into the box: 

If you think you might like to make this, I'm repeating the class on Wednesday 28 May. Timings are to be advised, but it will be during the day. If there is enough interest, I may also repeat it that evening. Let me know by emailing me HERE.

Express Yourself with Dahlias

This was another card we made at my recent class, using the lovely stamp set Regarding Dahlias. My friend and fellow demonstrator Sally Williams gave me the idea for this card. She did tell me who she'd cased it from, but I've forgotten. {I do listen to you Sally, honestly...}. This is lovely in real life and the colouring in, is very therapeutic. 

Stamp set: Regarding Dahlias, Express Yourself (hostess set)
Card: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, 
Ink: Versamark, White Craft Ink, Raspberry Ripple, Pink Pirouette
Accessories: Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon, Gold Embossing powder, Basic Pearls

While you read this, I'll be half way through my trip with work and will only have a few days left in Rome, before we head home. I'm privileged to be on the Monte Cassino trip with the World War 2 Veterans. It's my first time to Europe so I'm very excited. 

I hope you've had a wonderful week and an exciting weekend planned. See you back here soon.

Regarding Dahlias

This lovely card was cased from Sandi MacIver. It was a card we made during a class last week. Easy to make and very effective with the gorgeous embossing. Heat embossing is always popular and this card was no exception. I didn't actually give this card to my Mother for Mother's Day, however it would have been more than suitable for the occasion. 

Stamp set: Regarding Dahlias
Card: Basic Black
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, White Embossing Powder
Tools: Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy

I hope your week is going well. 

Happy Mother's Day

To the mothers to be, the mothers that are, the fathers who are mothers and the mothers no longer with us - you are loved and appreciated... 

Happy Mothers Day!!
