Dazzling Diamonds


Diamonds are a girls best friend, and Stampin' Up!'s Dazzling Diamonds Glitter is too! It twinkles like real diamonds and if my photos weren't pants you would be able to see it on the bauble, you'll just have to take my word for it it looks FAB!

Ribbon Wreath Class




This is ribbon weaving which I have made into a Christmas wreath. I have attached one to a card and the other I added a hanger to make a tree decoration. The principal is really easy but looks so effective, would you like to learn how to make one? I am doing a product based class on THURSDAY 18th NOVEMBER at 7-00pm. The cost of the class is £5-00 including a full real of Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon. Interested? Contact me at joannepress@hotmail.co.uk before Monday 8th November for full details.

Contempo Christmas Luminaria


This is a Luminaria (a kind of lantern) that covers a tea light. It uses two of the fantastic new punches from the SU catalogue, the ornament punch and the scallop trim border punch along with the Contempo Christmas stamp set. I think a few of these will look very pretty on a decorated window sill and can be colour co-ordinated to match your Christmas theme.

Colour Coach Combo


The colour combination on this card have been chosen from the fantastic new colour coach, available in the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you struggle with matching colours or you just want to experiment with colour then the colour coach is a must have tool.

Contempo Christmas


The Contempo Christmas stamp set is fast becoming a favourite of mine. It is so versatile and best of all there is a matching punch for the ornament stamp!!! I'm using this set for my forthcoming workshops, if you want to try before you buy this set then contact me and I'll tell you how.

Fast & Fabulous


The beautiful Fast & Fabulous stamp set is one of the scrummy new hostess sets available in the new catalogue. I decided to try this set out in the clear mount option as it is a 2 step stamp set and I must say it makes using it a doddle! If YOU want to get this stamp set for FREE and try out the new clear mount stamps just contact me and I'll tell you how.

Distressed Hello



Distressing is a big trend at the moment and it's one that pushes me way out of my comfort zone. I had the pleasure of attending a Stampin' Up! training Event in September and along with some of my fellow Demonstrators joined in a card swap. I made 40 of these distressed cards so hopefully my distressing technique has improved a little, after all practice makes perfect!
