Lesson 160

It's not quite so hot but we can still do with some Cool Treats. There are 36 photopolymer stamps and 17 dies in this bundle. As well as the bundle the Cool Treat Suite has matching Washi Tape, Sprinkles and DSP. Have a look at page 32 and 33 of the Occasions Catalogue

Lesson 159

It's such a lovely cool day here today but quite overcast. This means that the Internet is a bit slow so I hope I get this post finished.

Lesson 156

Welcome back! I hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year celebrations.
In our first lesson for the year, we will be using Beautiful You. This was a stand out favourite of mine as soon as I saw the new Occasions Catalogue. You can probably see some interesting colouring
( Watercolour Pencils) and an unfamiliar embossing folder (Falling Petals).

This card features another new embossing folder (Hexagons Dynamic) and some paper piecing using the Cupcakes and Carousels DSP.

 Another fabulous reason to get this set is the great set of sentiments. Have a look on Page 24!

The second set for this lesson is the Sale-a-Bration set Hey, Chick. You can see that I have used a sentiment from Beautiful You and those Watercolour Colour pencils again. I just love them!

And of course, we will make a box or two!

Lesson dates: January 10, 11, 17 and 18.

Lesson 155

Well this is the last lesson for 2016. The Christmas element uses Jolly Friends and the matching Jolly Hat Builder Punch.

These Gusseted Cellophane bags are great for Christmas treats or all year pressies!

The Day at the Beach set is so Aussie!
This card is very similar to the one I gave to my darling Jemima for her birthday and she loved it.

This card just makes me happy and it's an great easy technique!

And of course, everyone needs a 2017 diary.

Lesson dates are December 13, 14, 20 and 21.
