Just popping by with a fun project I made to show my lovely ladies recently. Lots of them have these dies and I was inspired by a Christmas ornament made with actual wood pieces turned in to snowmen.
I cut the bodies using the dies - the toadstool die made a great carrot nose with a little trim and I made the scarves using the Scotty Dog stamps. The eyes, mouths and buttons were made using Basic Pearls coloured with a Basic Black Stampin' Blend or in some cases I used the Enamel Effects paint.
Usually I share special class or with-product class projects, pre-order projects and other random tips. I wondered though whether you would be interested in seeing my regular class projects each month?
I now teach almost 60 ladies a month, (gulp!), mostly in person in classes of up to 20, and a few each month with at home packs and videos.
Each month we make either two cards and a 3D item, or three cards with one being a fancy fold or other stepped up project.
This month we made a Christmas Robin Card, (robins are the festive bird in the UK and we are SO excited to finally have a stamp for one), a Vintage Christmas Card and a Jolly Holly Gift Box with a cut out.
I made a quick show and tell video on all three projects with some teaching tips included too. Also included in the video are the other projects I shared with my lovely ladies at class to show how our Stampin' Up! goodies can be used.
I am off to Vienna next week to meet up with lots of my Stampin' Up! family including some of you! I can't wait. Do come and say hello and introduce yourself if you see me :)
If you are already on my mailing list, you have already seen the video associated with these gorgeous goodies. If you are NOT on my mailing list - please do feel free to sign up HERE.
The Framed Florets, available to customers from 1st November are a great combination of fancy oval dies and florals. I found there were some tricks to layering and getting the best from these dies, which I included in the video below.
I am off to Onstage in Vienna in just a few days and can't wait to find out what Stampin' Up! has in store for us over the coming months. If you are also going to an OnStage event - safe travels and if you are not - never fear I will share here as soon as I can.
