A Beautiful Large Wedding Card 

For this large wedding card, I combined elements from the Cake Celebrations Bundle with additional Stampin' Up! products for a truly special design.

I used flowers from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set and leaves from Fluffiest Friends. The background features the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder. To finish off the design, I added Iridescent Pearls for a bit of shimmer

More Creative Ways to Use the Happy Hibiscus Bundle

There are so many ways to get the most out of this versatile bundle! Here’s a couple of my favourite techniques:

• Two-Step Stamping: On this card, I used the two-step stamping technique to add vibrant colour to the hibiscus flower. Then, I ran the stamped images through the hybrid embossing folder with the coordinating dies to give it that stunning, textured finish. It’s a perfect way to create depth and dimension!

• Blends & Stamping Combo: For this card, I combined two-step stamping with Stampin' Blends markers to create a beautiful hibiscus that seems to "pop" out of a photo frame. It’s an easy way to bring your designs to life with colour and shadow!

New Online Class - Fancy Folds part 11- featuring the new Cake Celebrations suite

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE. 

I hope you had a great Christmas and I wish you a happy, healthy 2025! 

I wanted to have something for you to launch into the new year with and I know lots of you love a fancy fold - so I spent some of December designing a fun new class for you. 

What I love about fancy folds is you can use whatever DSP and stamps but for this one I used the stunning Cake Celebrations suite from the Jan-Apr mini. 

You could teach a fancy folds class as I have always done with 5 in one go - but I have also heard so some demos turning the whole class into a weekend retreat and teaching all 10 projects. Alternatively just use one a month and you can have almost a years worth of fancy folds! If that sounds good - then this is the class for you. 

This time we have 10 Fancy Folds including a Shutter card in card, a Slide and Reveal card, a Double Explosion card and a 3 point square card. 

 Included in the class are:

• Measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter sizes
• All printable on A4 & US paper 
• Project photos - no-logo that you can use for advertising
• An introductory videos with ideas and hints 
• A step by step video for each of the projects

I have kept my class price to just £10, which right now is around $14 US depending on today's Paypal exchange rates.

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE. 

If you would like to see more on a short video and see a few of those folds in action - you can find it here

If you missed Fancy Folds parts 1-10, all those classes are still available too. You can find them in our classes file HERE. 

I really hope you enjoy these projects and I hope your customers will love them too. Do let me know if you have any questions. 

Happy stamping

Festive Projects, Tips and Ideas - Gift Box and Iconic Imagery

FESTIVE PROJECTS - TIPS AND IDEAS 

I have a couple of project videos that you might find helpful during the festive season. 

First is a box that I originally made in class as a Christmas version a couple of years ago. I made a video showing how it is created with all the measurements and I show both versions to give you some extra inspiration.  You can see the video HERE. 

.

AND ANOTHER VIDEO! 

Next I have some cards featuring the Iconic Imagery stamps with some helpful hints and tips. There are three videos coming up all together - so do make sure you subscribe over on my YouTube channel so you don't miss them as they release. (And it really helps!)  You can find the video HERE.

Mix & Match Class Idea - Gold Dipped Cards, Tags for the Season, Joyful Images Ephemera

Would you like to teach a quick and easy class with no prep and design time? FREE printable. 

Just popping in with an extra post today to share a class I taught last week. This was as easy to teach as a kit class and allowed my lovely ladies to either copy my samples or be as creative as they liked with the different elements. 

For each of the ladies I ordered a full pack of the Gold Dipped Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes. They also had half a pack each of the Tags for the Season and half a pack of the Joyful Images ephemera. The great thing with splitting these packs is the designs are duplicated - so everyone gets the same goodies. 

 (You can find them all on page 15 of the mini). 

I also included a couple of yards of the Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4" ribbon - although for a lower cost option, you could use the Real Red and White Bakers Twine. 

They made 9 cards each plus some tags and card toppers with the left over items. For our class I provided a selection of festive stamps - but if you wanted to make it a no-stamping experience you could split the Joyful Sayings kit too. I found I didn't have enough tiny greetings from my current stamps, so I reached for the retired Itty Bitty Christmas as well as the current Greetings of the Season. 

FREE PRINTABLES FOR YOU 

If you need a quick and easy class to teach, you are very welcome to use my designs if you wish. 

I have popped them on a FREE PRINTABLE for you. That will save you buying your own kit and designing if you don't have the time to do that.  Click here for your freebie :)  The printables don't have any logo on them - so you can print and hand out to your customers. 

I also have another little video for you to show how to use the Yuletide Village stamps all year round! There are some tips on using the stamps too. You can watch more HERE.

Humble Home from Stampin' Up! Tiny House Online Class Now Available

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE. 

I don't usually offer classes so close together - but we had 3 winners that I didn't want to hold back in case you want to teach one or more this season.  

As soon as I saw the front of the new September - December 24 mini catalogue - I knew what I wanted to make. I love things in miniature - so my tiny village started to bubble away in my brain. 

I designed a Gingerbread Cottage, an English Tudor Pub, a Beach Hut, a Valentines House, a Thatched Cottage and a Halloween House. 

You can put small treats inside if you wish too. 

We have an initial construction video where I show you how to make the basic 3D house and then six further videos where we go into the detail of each house, the different kinds of roof and window design, some quick cheats to speed up construction and of course some teaching tips. 

The class is just £10 delivered to your inbox, and includes all the following:

• A basic construction video showing how to create a 3D house
  
• 6 more videos, one for each of the different houses 
• 24 photos showing all four sides of each house 
• A non-logo photo of all the houses 
• Measurements in inches for each project - with the basic measurements at the top and detailed measurements and tips for each house design. 

WE HAVE MOVED! You can find this class on our new website HERE. 

If you would like to see a little more before you buy - you can watch this short video. 
 

I hope you enjoy this class and that it helps you with your Stampin' Up!  business. 

**NOTE: Products used in this class were current at the time the class was designed. In many cases an alternative stamp/punch/die or DSP design will work for the projects**
