Masculine Monday's

Today's post uses only one stamp set Label Love and goodies from the Seasonal Catalogue - Burlap Ribbon and Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper.

Here you can see that I have run my card though the Square Lattice Embossing Folder before laying on the Sweater Weather DSp and Burlap Ribbon. I then stamped the sentiment onto some very vanilla cards stock before punching it using the co ordinating Artisan Label Punch, which I layered on to one of the shapes from the Apothecary Accents Framelits.

I'm loving this Sweater Weather DSP, its just right for masculine cards and scrapbook layouts be sure to pop by and see other creations over the coming weeks.

Happy Craftin'

Scrapbookin' On Sunday

Today's post is another of the layouts from last month's Club kit which was using the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper.

For this layout we used the new Martha Stewart Circle punch system to create the large doily in Very Vanilla card stock. 

I then showed the ladies how to make their flower's using the Scallop Circle punch, we punched out seven circles before cutting them in half and making them into a cone shapes's then stuck them onto another card Scallop Cirlce shape and adding a brad/Rhinestone to the center. 

If you would like join my Scrapbook Club and are unavailable to attend the kits are available via post - we meet once a month usually the 3rd Wednesday of the Month.

In your  kit you will receive a collection of  hand picked card stock, papers and embellishments. Each kit will contain enough materials to make a minimum of four 12×12 pages but often you will be able to create many more than that.

You will be shown everything you need to know and there will be at least 4 inspiration pages for you to either copy or use as a start point for your own creations.  To find out more please email sue@frankiesuestampin.com 

October's kit will be featuring the Venetian Romance Designer Series Papers.

Happy Scrappin'

Who said Glitter is just for Christmas??

Who said Glitter is just for Christmas??  Not me, I love a little sparkle on my cards and have even been barred from using it in some of my friends houses! 

Here is a card that we made at my card classes this month using the Fishin' around stamp set. 

I love the way that the Dazzling Diamonds works with Stampin' Up!s Heat and Stick powder.

If your not sure how this works and would like to see this demonstrated then why not book a Stampin' Up! party/workshop contact me on 07914 30625. 

The other items used to complete this card were - Express Yourself stamp set, 1 3/4" circle punch and Quatrefancy Designer Series Paper.

Well I'm off to have a lazy Saturday well once I've caught up with my housework.

Festive Fridays

Welcome to the first of many Festive Friday blog posts, I hope that they give you lots of inspiration leading up to that special time of year.

This first post uses the new snowflake stamp set Festive Flurry (which is the stamp set I will be featuring in my upcoming Get Ready for Christmas Event for more information click here)

The base card stock is Melon Mambo and the banner is Bermuda stamped tone on tone with a sentiment from the Sweet Essentials stamp set. I stamped the snow flakes randomly over a sheet of A4 whisper white card stock in Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana. 

This picture was taken before I added either rhinestones or dazzling details. I made a big batch of these cards for a recent Stampin' Up! event, when lots of demonstrators get together we always make swaps for each other.........its nice to share ideas.

Next week I will be back to share with you another card that I have made using both the Festive Flurry stamp set and  the matching framelits. Remember if you purchase these items as a bundle you will get a discount of 10%

Masculine Monday

Lots of my customers say to me "I find it harder when it comes to making cards for men" so I thought that I would dedicate Monday's to sharing with you some idea's for Men's Cards.

I used the Stamp a ma jig to line up the inner details of the pocket watch before punching out some of the cogs and co-ordinating cardstock using a variety of circle punches.

Scrapbookin' On Sunday

Yesterday I went and met some lovely ladies in Abington, Cambridge - Yes I know that along way from me in Kent but I went to help out a fellow demonstrator Charlie (with whom I have become good friends with), as she's recovering from an operation and didn't want to let the ladies down that had booked her for a Scrapbookin' Class.

So I am going to share with you the page that she designed for them (which I had also taught with my ladies) using the Soho Subway Designer Series Papers.

Here we scrunched up the papers and really distressed it with inks before stamping over it using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. 

Did you notice the shinny splashes? these were made with Stampin' Up!s Pewter Embossing powder.

I really enjoyed teaching this class both to my ladies and Charlie's as it was very interesting to watch  peoples reactions as they  started to (as I call it) "got to love the paper"

If you would like any purchase products used to produce this project then please contact me at frankiesuestampin@gmail.com

Have a great Sunday whatever you're up to, me I'm Christmas crafting with my mum.

Busy bee's

After a fab holiday, I had a very busy weekend last week as it was the Biggin Hill Sincerely Yours Paper Craft Show, the day after I got back.

I wouldn't have been able to do it with out the help of others, so thanks go to Melanie, Michelle (two of my team) and special thanks go to Charlie who lent a big hand by making some of the3D items and finishing the last minute bits off for me whilst I was sunning myself in Italy.

So instead of Scrapbookin'  On Sunday this week I would like to share with you some photo's of the displays we had there.

We even managed to play with some of the new stamps sets from the Seasonal Catalogue which came out on August 29th. Please see link in side bar, if you'd prefer a paper copy please email me your address and phone number and I'll pop one in the post.

One other thing that I forgot, with rushing around last weekend was to announce the "Blog Candy" winner well the wait is over and the winner is

Cindy 

Cindy, if you email me your address I will get your goodies in the post to you.

Well I have long lists of jobs to catch up with today, and setting some blog posts is on there so that I can show you some close up of some of the display items so you can see them in more detail.
