Welcome Christmas Ornament

Today I have a project to share with you from my $30 Club. We had our christmas get together last Friday and this is the project I brought along for the girls to make.




We have used the Welcome Christmas Stamp Set and the designer series paper that was available in last month's promotion (and I have totally forgotten the name).

Here is the otherside of the ornament.

One of the girls from the club (waving hi Jo) suggested putting photos of the kidlets on these ornaments to hang on the tree. I think that would be so cute.

All Supplies Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated.

February Technique Club

My monthly Technique Club has started up again and this time around I am teaching different card folds.

We started this month with an Easel Card. These cards are gorgeous as they stand up but fold flat for postage. We made our cards using a 12" by 4" piece of cardstock.

Here is the side on view of the card:

And a closer view of the card front.

Even though the Club has started I still have room for another two ladies so if you are in the Tamworth area and interested in a fun night of craft once a month please contact me for more details.

Thanks for stopping by.

Vintage Christmas

I had meeting with my lovely Technique Club girls last night. Each month for the last 8 months we have been learning a different technique. This month it was Cracked Glass.

This is a simple but very effective technique using layers of embossing powder that when cooled are cracked (like glass...wonder where the name comes from lol).

Here is a more detailed picture of the image...see the little cracks. It looks really effective in person.

The set we used is Good Cheer from the Spring Mini Catalogue (available until the end of November). The gorgeous striped ribbon is also from the Mini catalogue and will be gone at the end of the month too so if you would like to get your hands on some best place your order soon.

My next Technique Club will be starting in February 2010. If you are interested in joining please contact me for more details.

Happy stamping
