Swapsies!

Hello, and welcome!

When this blog goes live, I shall be (I hope!) away from home, attending the OnStage Local event in Birmingham. This one-day event for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators is being held today at locations throughout South Pacific and Europe, with the main event taking place in Florida. I am super excited, because this time we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Stampin' Up! and it is going to be AMAZING!

Usually there's a Spoiler policy in force - those demonstrators who attend the event aren't allowed to share pictures or information about what's coming up. This time, though, there is NO Spoiler policy, so we can take pictures and video and put them on our social media pages - so keep an eye on my Facebook page (although I'll probably be too busy ooh-ing and aah-ing to take many photos - I get carried away and forget to turn my phone on!)

I wasn't going to make swaps this time. Swapping is a big part of OnStage. We make multiples of something - usually a card or a 3D item - and swap with others who have done the same. It's not compulsory but it is encouraged and it's a great way of getting ideas for future projects.

However, on Monday, I decided that I'd be sorry if I didn't take some swaps with me, so I made some bookmarks. (Yes, I made bookmarks last time, but these are DIFFERENT bookmarks, OK?)

Here's what I did -

Check back next week to see what I get in exchange!

Meanwhile,

Keep crafting!

Spinning Santa

Hello, and welcome!

There aren’t many weeks left before the Autumn/Winter Catalogue is retired, and while some items are carrying over, many lovely things will be retiring and only available while stocks last (but will make space for the gorgeous things to come in the Spring/Summer Catalogue!) But fear not, there are Christmas-themed items in the Annual catalogue and I’ve made use of them for today’s card.

Spinner cards are fun to make and have the wow! factor, especially for children’s cards. I’ve made a few of them over the years. I don’t like the images to be upside down when they spin so I’ve previously arranged the spinner to revolve around the vertical (top to bottom) line. This time, though, it spins top to bottom.

Here’s how I made it-

So much fun - and doesn't have to be for Christmas - a lovely flower would work as well!

Keep Crafting!

Santa Cookie Cutter Card

Hello bloggists, welcome to my blog.

Christmas is almost upon us – where has the time gone? When I was a little girl it felt like a lifetime between one Christmas and the next, and now the year just whizzes by! There’s still time – just – to make some cards if you’re very quick, and this is a very quick card (for me, anyway!)

I resisted getting the Cookie Cutter punch and the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamps, but I’ve seen so many beautiful projects made with the bundle that in the end, resistance was futile and I had to give in. The bundle retires when the Autumn/Winter catalogue ends on 3 January but stamps and punch will be available separately without the 10% bundle discount – so if, like me, you’ve put off getting these now’s your last chance for a saving.

And there’s a touch of “bring in the new” on this card as well...I’ve given you a sneaky peek of something that you’ll be able to get when the new catty comes into play on 4 January. Take a look

See you again soon,

Crafty Hugs,

Keren
