Valentines Crafting

January 27, 2019January 27, 2019 Birdsnest Designs

It’s hard to believe that we are nearing the end of January all ready! This weekend I have been busy crafting for a Valentine’s Day market that I am in on Saturday February 2nd at the Castlegar Complex.

I hope that you have all had a chance to check out the 2019 Occasions Catalogue, it is full of amazingly fun stamping products. My go to Valentine set this weekend has been the Meant to Be bundle and the All My Love Designer series Paper.

All My Love Designer Series Paper (148576)

These products are so versatile. They can be used for Valentine’s Day, Wedding, Anniversary or even just an everyday note to let someone know how much they are loved. Products like these are perfect to add to your craft stash because they can be used time and time again.

I love how this card turned out! Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo and Crumb Cake are a stunning colour combination and are perfect for a sweet Valentine card. Because I had so much fun making this card I also created a scrapbook layout for my February scrapbook club using products from this same suite.

These products are so much fun to create with because the images, colours and patterns are so inspiring. More importantly, like so many of Stampin’ UP!’s products the co-ordination of the Product Suites makes designing so simple. Less time spent on trying to find matching items and more time creating stunning projects 🙂

Simply Stampin’

January 24, 2019January 24, 2019 Birdsnest Designs

Back to Basics … Ink, Paper and Stamps!

This class is designed to bring back the simple art/love of stamping. It is great for beginners that are wanting to start out and also good for experienced stampers to bring back the basics. With all the fun and fancy new tools and products out there, it is easy to forget how simple and beautiful a project can be by simply putting ink to paper. This class will showcase simple cards that can be made in minutes without all the fuss and distraction of oodles of extras.

February’s edition of the Simply Stampin’ class will be held on Tuesday February 19th @ 7:00pm.

This class will be hosted monthly and as the series goes on, we will learn and explore different stamping techniques. There is no obligation to come to each monthly class, although I hope that you do! Sign up for the ones that catch your eye or fit in to your schedule.

Class will be held on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm in Trail.

Cost of the class is $12 or FREE if you place a $35 Stampin’ UP! Product order that night. All you will be required to bring is your favourite adhesive and a pair of scissors.

Feel free to bring a friend along to give Stamping a try, no experience necessary.

For February’s class we will be creating these three simple yet beautiful cards using a few of my favourite stamp sets.

Jar of Love stamp set (#141587)
Lift Me UP stamp set (#142896)
Dragonfly Dreams stamp set (#142924)

I really enjoyed keeping it simple and creating these fun and beautiful cards and I think that you will too! #simplestamping

I hope that you will join us for a relaxing evening of stamping, enjoy a light refreshment and meet some lovely stamping friends.

Contact me to register! Deadline is February 10th … there are only 12 spots available so don’t delay 🙂

Thanks so much for popping by!
