... a little bit of Christmas

It's creeping up on us! With this in mind I am holding a Christmas Stamp-a-stack class this Friday at 10 am or 7pm.

Here is one of the cards we will be making (6 cards, 2 of each design).

I know it's not very clear but it features gold embossing on the snowflakes and on the Heart of Christmas stamp too.

Card: Whisper white, cherry cobbler
Ink: Versamark with gold embossing powder
Accessories: Cherry cobbler seam binding ribbon

A Heartfelt Stamping Event - Auckland

Yesterday I attended my first Stampin Up regional event in Auckland. It was a really exciting day as I got to meet with and see other demonstrators work in the share boards and also attend seminars full of ideas for Christmas decorating and crafts.

I also got to play with some products I hadn't used before such as the tabletop paper cutter, coredinations paper stock and sanders and the brayer. It's nice to see the demonstraters on the product playground areas so willing to share their knowledge and techniques and the event showed just how supportive stampers are to each other.

Here are some photos I took at the event:

The top photo is of a Christmas wreath covered in flowers made from designer series papers, next is a selection of gorgeous boxes, followed by an ornament made from stamps and matching framelits from the new holiday catalogue and finally a great way to use up all that brown paper packing from our deliveries, stamped and gorgeous as gift wrapping.
