Training swaps

Should of mentioned this in the last post! Here are the swaps that I took along for the training event. Here I've used Pocket Silhouettes stamp set with Melon Mambo base card and Ink with Tempting Turquoise on Whisper White card stock, punched out with the circular and oval punches and 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. Then Rich Razzleberry base card and Ink with Old Olive and Always Artichoke ribbon - a colour mix that I wouldn't have tried, but having been having lots of fun with the colour coach to try out different colour combinations and I'm finding it a really useful tool! Keep on crafting! Gen x

Catch Up Queen!

This is the fabulous card we did at the Manchester regional training in September. Here we've used a Chocolate Chip base card then tearing the overlying Whisper White and rather delicious Cherry Cobbler. Then stamp set here is Contempo Christmas, sentiment stamped in Whisper White and then the bauble printed and punched out three times, folded in half and glued together for the three dimensional effect, finishing with the new 5/8" Organza Ribbon (IBC p97) - simply fabulous ;-)

This was followed by a Christmas tree treat bag with the same colour scheme and then a cellophane bag attached to the decorated header, to put your Gingerbread goodies or whatever sweet things take your fancy. I think this will be an added treat to my Christmas tree this year, a little surprise for my Nephews and Niece - any excuse for treats!
