Hello again! It’s been awhile since my last post, but I have been super busy with a side project that I’ve been focusing on for the last 6 months – my very own house, which has finally finished building, and almost ready for handover! :D
And the best part? I will finally have a craft room to call my own, and I’ll be able to cater for larger class numbers! No more cramped card classes around the tiny dining area of my 3×1 unit anymore ;)
Because the of-so-fun job of packing everything needed to start, I finished my card classes on 11th October, to start back up in December when I’m all settled into my new home. Which really sucks, because I really want to do some crafting, but everything is packed up! :(
So instead, I’ll share with you the projects we made in the 4th October card class – a Christmas Stamp-A-Stack.We made 2 designs, with 5 of each design.
For the first card, we used a card base of Emerald Envy cardstock. A slightly smaller card front of Emerald Envy cardstock was embossed using the Softly Falling embossing folder through the Big Shot. This was then glued to the card base.
On a piece of Whisper White, we stamped the tree image from Jar Of Cheer using Emerald Envy ink, and Mint Macaron ink. Inking and stamping off on Grid Paper gave us different gradients of colour, which helped add depth to the stamping. A strand of Whisper White Bakers Twine was tied around this in a bow, and the piece was stuck to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a small banner of Mint Macaron cardstock, we stamped a sentiment from Santa’s Sleigh, using Emerald Envy ink. This was then stuck to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To finish off the card, we stamped the inside of the card with a sentiment and tree image using Mint Macaron and Emerald Envy ink.
Sequins and Basic Rhinestones completed the card:
For the second card, we used a card base of Thick Whisper White. This was stamped with the stardust(?) image from Star Of Light, using Versamark; and then heat embossed with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
The large star image was stamped on Pool Party cardstock with Pool Party ink, and diecut using the co-ordinating Framelits. A smaller star was cut from Vellum using the Framelits as well. These were then held together with a Glue Dot, and a sequin was glued in the centre. This was then adhered above the stardust embossing with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
The bottom right corner of the card was stamped with a sentiment using Pool Party ink.
The inside of the card was stamped and heat embossed with the stardust image as well, and a sentiment was stamped using Pool Party ink.
Here is the finished card:
Thank you for popping in to check out our creations! I will be busy moving and settling into my new home for the next month, but I will try to pop back in soon! ‘Til next time xx

Hi rachel. I am a beginner in the world of cardmaking but love to get better. So I was wondering when you are all set up again if and when you do classes if you cared for beginners like me? Night or day classes as I also work full time? Also can I order craft supplies from you?
