Stitches & Craft Show

28 October, 201327 October, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

I would like to thank everyone for their support for me as I attended the Stitches & Craft Show at Caulfield Racecourse.

The show was held daily from Thursday 24th to Sunday 27th October between 10am – 4.30pm.

I was on the Stampin’ Up! stand on Friday 25th October and I had a ball.

I met so many lovely crafters who came to watch our demonstrations and see our beautiful displays.

We certainly hope we have given each and every one of you some inspiration!

We even had loads of Festive Flurry ornaments dangling from the rooftop!

Here is what I demonstrated on the day.

It was sponging and masking!

I think many people who stopped by to watch my demonstration of this technique, were surprised at how quick and simple it was, but also just how effective it was once complete! The image used was the Lovely as a Tree stamp set.

Don’t forget today is the last day to order any of the 25% Off 25 Stamp Sets.

Christmas Decorations

23 October, 201322 October, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

How about making your own decorations to put on the tree this Christmas.

Here I have used the Festive Flurry Framelits and there is no stamping, yes you heard right, for a change I have not used any stamps!!!

I used two different embossing folders, Northern Flurry & Polka Dots to emboss the Pool Party and Very Vanilla Flurry’s. I scored each flurry down the middle and glued them together with tombo glue. I did 3 at a time, 1 of each of the colours. When I was ready to glue the 2 bundles together, I first glued the ribbon to the centre!

Hello Stampers,

I recently got some small calendars that you tear off month by month and so I thought it would be nice to be able to use them to make a special gift for the upcoming Christmas season. These would make lovely gifts for the kids teachers too!
