Club SUM Workshop 11 March 2014

I had been thinking that I would run my workshop as a dinner party..no food, but our projects would make up the menu, so I set about creating a menu.

On my menu, there would be an Appetiser, something small and easy to make. This was the Tag-alicious Topper Gift Tag.  Then the Main Course would be a card project using the Peachy Keen stamp set and On Film Framelits, followed by Dessert, which would make use of the Good as Gold SAB Simply Set Pack.

Then I sent out my invitations using the Celebration Basics Invitations two weeks before the workshop.

I set the table up as you would a dinner party and used my rescued frame to decorate the place.

 As Easter is approaching, I made up some Monster hugs party favours with Malteser bunnies.

Best of ... 25 Years!: Autumn (March)

25Year Best of Autumn

Flower Shop

 Don't you just love this stamp set.  I've had this stamp set sitting in my cupboard and it's only now that I have decided to put it to use and I just love how the colours pop.

Using the Flower Shop stamp set and matching Pansy Punch, I made these cards in quick succession.

Take an old frame....

I found this frame on someone's front lawn ready for the local council cleanup collection and rescued it thinking I could use it one day.  It was just the frame, no backing, some of the ornate plaster work was chipped, but I thought with a little bit of work, I could make a rustic looking frame.  I didn't have to do much with it, just dusted it off. It was already painted silver, so I just touched up some of the areas which were scratched and added the backing board which I made using some cardboard from some Ikea packaging cut to size. I crumpled up some white tissue paper and then straightened it back out before glueing the tissue paper to the cardboard and gave it an extra coat of white paint. It turned out better than I had hoped for.

Then added some coloured banners, cards, felted balls and I had a very colourful display which I hung up for my Stampin' Up! workshop.
