NARRE WARREN
Children able to entertain themselves
$25 per person OR $15 with discount*
The first card combines images from Holiday Home, Seasonally Scattered and the brand new 12 Days of Christmas. Do these in a production line and you’ll get 4 made in not time!
The other card may be familiar to those who dropped by the stand or took one of the classes at the recent Stitches & Craft Show. It’s similar, but has some distinct changes to one of the class cards. This one features Festival of Trees and Hardwood. I’ve also snuck in a greeting from Good Greetings, our October promotional set that is sadly no longer available. However, I will have some other greetings on hand if you’d prefer.
OCTOBER CLASS Encore – 10am Tuesday 28th!
Some illness this month meant some people missed out on my Sparkle & Shine October Class so I’ve added an additional date for next week!
Tuesday 28th OCTOBER
10am – 1pm
Children able to entertain themselves
$20 per person OR $10 with discount*
This card uses the Bright & Beautiful stamp set with matching framelits. Shine is added with Silver Glimmer Paper and Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details:
The next card features the single stamp ‘Christmas Bauble’ on a glitter panel created using Heat & Stick powder with Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter:
And the final project is a Curvy Keepsakes box decorated in metallic Silver ink and Iridescent Ice embossing powder!

This class will feature three different WORD projects showcasing the new Little Letters Framelits dies for the Big Shot.
Never before have we had dies for individual letters that we can reorder and arrange to suit our needs – perfect for quick and easy personalisation of all sorts of projects.
Let me show you some fun ways to put them to use.
Little Letters Framelits (p228)
(133730) $48.95
The first card has a pop up word at the top….we learnt how to do this at this year’s Stampin’ Up! Convention:
The next one uses the negative space from the dies…
I love the effect this creates….
and if you don’t have a dad to create a card for just change out the words for something that appeals to you more!
And the third card uses the cut out letters in a more traditional way…

JUNE CLASS – Sketch Stamp-a-stack
Too many stamps to say goodbye to
– let’s get them all out and play!
This class coincides with the release of the retiring list for the current Annual Catalogue so I thought it would be a good time to give those retiring stamps one more go.
I’ll provide you with three design sketches and you’ll be free to get creative and experiment with those designs on
as many cards as you can manage to make in the time frame.
(max. 12 per person)
The three cards above will be our starting point, all of them using my favourite retiring colour – Primrose Petals! As you can see, the cards were inspired by these three sketches that I’ve created from experience over my years of stamping:
Thursday 5th JUNE
8pm – 11pm
NARRE WARREN
$25 per person
OR
Friday 6th JUNE
10am – 1pm
NARRE WARREN
$25 per person
Children able to entertain themselves in the next room are welcome!
I’ll show you how to interpret the sketches and use them as the basis for cards using any materials, any colours and for any occasion. Once you’ve mastered these you’ll have a fantastic resource at your disposal whenever you sit down to make a card. And as I said, you’ll be free to experiment with all of the retiring products I have.
Here are some more ideas to get you started:
Every stamp or die used in all of these cards is retiring and now only available while stocks last!

MAY CLASS – By Request!
“What would you like to learn in a class?” I asked
And this was the response:
How does the Spiral Flower Die work?
What can you do with paper piercing other than borders?
Are the Fringe Scissors useful for anything other than making grass or feathers?
What do you do with the Mini Muslin Bags?
Can we make something for Mothers’ Day?
So this is the class I came up with:
Thursday 8th MAY
8pm – 11pm
NARRE WARREN
$25 per person
OR
Friday 9th MAY
10am – 1pm
NARRE WARREN
$25 per person
Children able to entertain themselves in the next room are welcome!
OR
Monday 12th MAY
10am – 1pm
NARRE WARREN
$25 per person
Children able to entertain themselves in the next room are welcome!
I was so pleased to be able to answer all of those requests in just these three projects. Here’s a bit more detail:
The first project covers three of those bases, the Spiral Flower Die, Paper Piercing & Mothers’ Day all in one little card.
Although of course you can change out the greeting if it doesn’t suit your needs.
Here’s a closer look at the flowers – note how you can change the size of the flower. All made using the one die!

APRIL CLASS – Easter Projects
Are you in the mood for Easter at long last?
This month there are three projects that work really well for the Easter season but can also be adapted for other occasions if creating Easter crafts isn’t high on your ‘must do’ list.
I’ve had to adjust my regular schedule a little this month so there’s no Friday class but I have added a Monday date by special request.
Monday 7th APRIL
10am – 1pm
NARRE WARREN
$20 per person
Children able to entertain themselves in the next room are welcome!
OR
Thursday 10th APRIL
8pm – 11pm
NARRE WARREN
$20 per person
Here are the three projects in a little more detail. The first is a Card In A Box. I don’t know who originated this idea but everyone is giving them a go at the moment and I’ve had so many requests to do this as a class project I didn’t really have a choice. So here’s my take using the Backyard Basics bundle and some watercolouring:
These amazing cards can have a LOT of dimension…
…but they still fold flat and fit in a standard envelope:
The next project is super easy and takes just one sheet of paper from the 48 that come in the Fresh Prints Paper Stack (just $11.95!) This cute little caddy can hold a selection of mini-eggs or a larger one egg cup style. If you’ve having guests over for an Easter meal you can use them as place markers at your table. They’re so simple you’ll have enough made for everyone in no time.
Thanks to Sam Donald at Pootles for this innovative idea!
Both projects so far have featured the Backyard Basics Bundle:
Backyard Basics Bundle (p79)
Buy the Stamp Set & Framelits together and save 15%
Wood (132729) $72.95
Clear (132728) $65.25
Also sold separately
And the final project is a little more obviously an Easter one:
This card features the Eggstra Spectacular stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue (p32) and the Positively Chevron Background stamp from the Annual Catalogue (p126)

Children able to entertain themselves in the next room are welcome!
Here are the three projects in a little more detail. First up the Vivid Vases card:
For this one the shading and the grounding are the focus.
Then we’re going to use the Whitewash technique.
This allows us to add pale colours to coloured cardstock.
And for the last card we get to cheat a little bit using the new Happy Watercolour stamp set:
Happy Watercolour (Occasions p22)
Wood (133188) $51.95
Clear (133191) $41.95
Some of the colouring is done for us but there’s still a little to do ourselves.
