Well, that was nerve-wracking!

Hi bloggists - thanks for visiting!

Today's blog is not the normal kind, where I share a project I've made.  That's because I had my July Live streaming workshop yesterday - the recording will be on YouTube - and today I wanted to do something a bit different.  So the YouTube video today is a Tuppenny Top Tip.

I get terribly nervous before a Live streaming and I'm preparing this ahead of time so I really hope it all went well!

Here's what I made -

Here are the measurements for the box - 



I wanted to let you know about the latest promotion from Stampin' Up! which starts today.  For every £45 you spend in one order between now and the end of July, Stampin' Up will email you a coupon for £4.50 to use in August, so it's a really good time to treat yourself.  

By the way, a beautiful bundle (Thoughtful Branches) is going to be available only in August - so if you have Bonus Days coupons, you could use them towards the cost of the bundle.  Just saying'!


Back to normal on Saturday.

See you soon!

Crafty Hugs,

Keren

Butterfly Spinner

Hello bloggists, welcome to my blog.

It's another kinetic card today, using the Affectionately Yours DSP.  The action happens when you open the card - so I'll let you watch the video tutorial before we go any further!

 
I would definitely recommend pulling the elastic as tight as you can, because with use it does stretch a bit.  

In response to a comment on one of my YouTube videos, I'll post a picture of my notes with the measurements here - I do hope you can understand my scribbles!  Leave me a comment to let me know if you find it helpful.

Hope you've enjoyed this project.

Crafty Hugs,

Keren

Leaf it out!

Hello Bloggists, and welcome to my blog.

When I get stuck for ideas, the catalogue is always a source of inspiration.

Today's card is my interpretation of one which is on page 131 of the annual catalogue. As you can see from the picture I changed it a bit!




Here's the tutorial-



I hope you enjoyed it!

See you soon,

Crafty hugs,

Keren.

PS - Don't forget my LIVE virtual workshop tomorrow (Wednesday 6 July) - kicking off about 7.30 p.m. BST.  See you there!
