Happy Valentines - with four project ideas featuring the Country Lane Floral Suite

I am just dropping in today to share four projects made using the Country Floral Lane suite from Stampin' Up! Although these projects are for Birthday, Thank you and Just a Note cards - they would all work as a Valentine's design.

The red card was heavily inspired by one my lovely team member Tracy McDonnell, (The Papercraft Studio) presented at OnStage.  

To get the little flower heart on the blue card, I used the large heart flower stamp in Balmy Blue, then stamped over again with the Basic Grey heart and punched out using the matching Country Bouquet punch. 


Here are the next two. The first shows the two-step stamping large heart from the Country Bouquet Suite and the second uses leaves and hearts to make a Just a Note wreath. Greetings are from the Go To Greetings stamp set. 



Happy Valentines to you all and I will be back with my February class projects soon.

This Month's Class Projects - display projects and more!

Hello my fellow Stampin' Up! demos 


Have you had a busy festive season? Did you miss that I had a fun new class available called Music and More that you can make and teach? 

It features a theatre / graduation auditorium explosion box and lots more. 

If you would like to see more - click here to find out all about it! 


I am straight back in to regular classes with my lovely ladies and as well as teaching the classes, we had an after-class party following each one. So I have lots to share! 

If you are on my monthly newsletter list, you will also have an exclusive show and tell video for all the class projects waiting in your email inbox. If you are not on my list and would like to join you can do so by clicking here. 

So let's get on with with some project photos.


This fun fancy fold project was so much fun to make. I tried to work out the measurements on the video with dubious success. LOL! The ones I gave there will work but these will save extra cutting for my US letter friends.

A4 Thick Basic White  11 1/2 X 4 1/8 score at 3 3/4, 7 1/2 & 9 1/2   for the top piece 

8 1/4 X 5 1/2 

US Letter 11 X 4 1/4 score at 3 3/4 7 1/2 & 9 1/4 and for the top piece the same 8 1/4 X 5 1/2 


We made this fun cascade card using the Two-Tone Flora stamps.

I don't usually teach two fancy folds in one regular class - but these were both very simple to make. I did use the Stamparatus though to speed things up with the two step stamping! 



I always give some choice to my class ladies when it comes to Valentine cards, as not everyone will be sending one. With this card we did two lots of embossing as well as stamping - so lots of techniques were used. 


From my display here are a few more of my projects. I did a couple featuring the the Share a Milkshake bundle. I love how the Country Gingham DSP went well with this set and used the cone die to make a cone full of hearts. I am really loving the Alphabet A La Mode dies as well as you can see! 


Here is a card I showed that featured the Something Fancy dies - we used them in class on the cascade class too.  


I think the sampler I made shows the versatility of this set. 




I hope you like those projects and I will be back to share more in a couple of weeks!
