Feedback please!!!

I was having a play with colours tonight and made this card. However, my Mum and I both are unsure about the colour combination. I thought it was OK, but she wondered if the blues went with the green. What do you think???? I have included a recipe below.

Materials used:

Stamp sets: Baroque motifs & occasional greetings
Cardstock: purely pomegranate, soft sky, blue bayou, old olive & natural ivory
Stamp pads: Versamark, old olive & soft sky
Accessories: Silver brad, white gel pen, scallop punch, 1 3/4 punch & stampin' dimensionals

Update

Hi all. Just letting you know that the Christmas Stack workshop on the 24th November is full, however I still have some spaces available for the 11th November and the 12th December if any of you are still interested.

This little card I made for my nephew for his 2nd Birthday last month. The stamp set was part of the sale-a-bration promotion last year, so unfortunately is no longer available. What I do want to share with you is in regards to the sentiment I have used. It is from the hostess set 'So many sayings' (Level 1 - pg 19). I wasn't sure what to do with this set initially, because it is three stamps with lots of sayings on each one. But then I discovered that you can use the 'word window' punch (pg 142), and it fits perfectly around all the sayings, so then you have 34 individual sentiments and decorations you can use to accessorise your cards.......now how cool is that!!!

Now it is very easy to get both the stamp set and the punch with out spending a cent. Simply hold a workshop for family and friends in your home, collect sales to the total of $300 (which is very easy) and then as a hostess you can have this stamp set & an additional $30 to spend - which is the cost of the punch......now that's really cool. So if your interested, feel free to contact me.

Materials used:

Stamp set: So many sayings & birthday whimsy

Stamp pads: Soft sky & chocolate chip

Cardstock: Old olive, soft sky, whisper white, really rust & fall flowers DS

Accessories: Word window punch & stampin' dimensionals

Christmas Card No 4

This is the last of the 4 designs we will be making at the Christmas workshops. I really like the earthy tones of this card, and it steers away from the more traditional colour combination of Christmas. You may have noticed that I haven't provided the recipes for any of the Christmas cards just yet.....obviously you will have to attend one of the workshops if you would like to find out!!! I am sure there are some clever people out there that can work it out just from the photos. Have a good day.

Tis the Season

This is the third card we will be making at the Christmas Stack Workshop. Remember that you will make 5 cards of each design (4 designs in total) for the cost of $15. All you need is your own adhesive. I would have to say that this card, along with the Joy card (see previous posts) are my favourite. Let me assure you they are not difficult to make. Hope you have all had a great weekend and well rested for the week ahead. Don't know about you.....but mine is pretty hectic. Looking forward to the next weekend already.

Another Christmas Card

This is another one of the designs I have created for the Christmas Stack workshops. It uses one of my favorite stamp sets from this year's catalogue, 'Baroque Motifs'. A very simple design to create but most effective!!! Hope you are all busy checking your diaries to see which day would suit you.....can't wait to craft with you all. Have a great day :)

Christmas Stack Workshop

That time of year is almost upon us. I love making my own cards to send to those I love to wish them a Merry Christmas, however, time always seems to get the better of me. That's why I love organising a Christmas stack workshop. It is a time where I can get together with family, friends and other like minded stampers, and have a fun-filled time whilst getting my cards made ready for the festive season. I would like to extend an invitation to you to join me. For the cost of $15 you will be able to make 20 cards (4 designs). All materials will be provided, you just need to bring your own adhesive. Light refreshments & nibbles will also be on offer, and of course the Christmas CDs will be playing to get you in the mood....."O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree...." no I won't sing, don't worry!!! The dates are as follows:

Tues November 11th 2008 - 7pm

Mon November 24th 2008 - 7pm

Fri December 12th 2008 - 10am

Class sizes are a maximum of 8-10. Workshops will be held at my home in Kings Langley. Feel free to extend invitation to family and friends that may be interested. For further details email me at meganjk@gmail.com. Would love to see you there!

Note: Card posted here is an example of one we will make at the workshop. Will post others over the next few days, so stay tuned.
