Just thought I would share my team with you all

Morning, I thought I would share a picture of my immediate team that I work with, We are all Independent Stampin' up! demonstrators. We are in a bigger team with Natalie O'shea where she has 203 demo's under her. and we 5 are a little branch off from her.

We went to Basinstoke on Thursday for the launch of SALE-A-Bration which starts January 6th.. How it works is for every £45 you spend on Stampim' Up! products you get to pick a free item from the Sale-a-bration catalogue and there are some great products in there, I will post some projects soon, but you will have to wait till Jan 6th to see the catalogue.

So who is who ....Charry who is 2nd from the left is immediately under Natalie and my upline, Rachael (1st left) and myself are under Charry and then Grace next to me and Fiona come under my umbrella (my down lines). They are both super ladies and I love having them in my team.

Charry is a superb upline and we are a great but small ( at this time) team.

There will be some fantastic deals on joining coming up in Jan with lots of free goodies and a kit with extras. its just £99 to join and that gives you a £130 kit with product of your choice plus some more freebies. So contact me if you would like to join and be a member of our team.

Everything ELeanor

This set along with Kinda Eclectic is one of my go to's. You can make some fabulous cards and backgrounds with this set.  I saw a card similar to this on pinterest and this is my version.

Using A6 whisper white card base.

1. Stamp the foliage background stamp From the Everything Eleanor in Olive Green onto a Matt of Whisper white cards took.

2. Using an embossing folder (sorry the script one I used is now retired) stagger the plates on ypur bigshot or machine of choice to enable a strip of the embossing only to go across the centre of the whisper white stamped Matt.

3. Stamp a greeting in the place of your choice, I like top or bottom right.

4. Wrap old olive bakers twine twice Around the card and fasten at the back.

5. Matt the whisper white stamped card onto Melon mambo card stock and add to the front of the card base.

5. Using the large flower from Everything Eleanor stamp 3 images in melon mambo ink  and 1 in old olive.

6. Cut out all 4 of the images. Leaving the 1st pink one full the 2nd removing 1 leaf, 3rd removing 3 leaves.

7. Cut the old olive image in to half to use a leaves, decoupage the flower and add to the stamped and embossed Matt. ( this one does not show the green leaves - but it looks great with them on)

8. Finally add either Rhinestones or candy dots in melon mambo to the foliage.

I hope you like this card as much as I do you can make lots of different versions and colour ways for this card using this lovely set.

A 3-D project

Oh my gosh the last two weeks have just been a whirl. I just lost days and cant find them, I feel like I have not stopped but cant show anything constructive for any of them.. Loads of workshops and prepping thats all i can say.

So I thought I would show you a little 3-d project I put these on the table for each person this week at the classes.

Very simple using a piece of card cut to 10.5 cm x 11.5cm and scored as per the photo bend in the two flaps and secure with glue or tape my preference is the red line tape.

Cut a srip of paper long enough to wrap around your box and either stamp a design or just use a contrasting colour or DSP, then stamp a sentiment of choice.... then of course a little bar of Green & Black chocolate. Hey Presto!

One of my Lovely friends from my stamp group Kim Fee made a larger version and it gave me the idea to make a smaller one to fit my chocolates..
you can use all number of stamped sentiments to create your own version of this.
