My paper crafting journey

Welcome to my blog.
I started Card making eight years ago after I went to a class at Brimstage. I started scrap-booking after attending a Creative Memories evening. I signed up as a Creative Memories Consultant and did that for four years before the company closed down their UK office in April, 2012. I continued with scrap-book, card making and box making Workshops.On October 2nd, 2012, I signed up as a Stampin Up Demonstrator following an amazing weekend Paperie retreat run by Monica Gale in Yorkshire. I had been using Stampin Up products for three years but I could not join up while I was still selling products for Creative Memories.I love what I do and I also enjoy sharing what I love so that is what I aim to do on this blog.

The three cards above were made with Stampin Up Gumball Green, Real Red and Baja Breeze Cardstock. I used the Owl Occasions and Greetings of the Season stamp sets, Snow Festival tags, Festival of Prints designer series paper stack and the Modern Label punch. I made the rosette on the green card using the Stampin Up Simply Scored Board.I love this board as it makes preparing box kits for a class or rosettes a breeze!I also use it as a lap tray to prepare for classes while watching a DVD.There is an added option of buying a diagonal plate to make envelopes in various sizes or a metric plate if you prefer to work with centimeters.
