Goodness me, it doesn’t seem 12 days ago since my last post! It will be Christmas again before we know it! Speaking of which, I still have a few places left for my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack this coming Saturday if you are interested in coming along? It’s a great opportunity to get a head start on your handmade Christmas cards! Click here for more information.
Anyway, here is one of my Stepper Boxes I’ve been making. They are actually quite easy to make! I’ve made this one using Haiku DSP and I stamped the embellishment with images from Circle Circus stamp set. The original instructions I used are by Terri Digness.
Here is the box opened. Recently at our group get together (otherwise known as INKers Arvo in our group!) we had a go at making the box with five panels all the same size. I’m yet to decorate the box I made (one of my many UFO’s!) but will try and get it done and post it on here in the next few days.

As it’s the school holidays I decided to hold a couple of Mum & Kids Classes. Tuesday afternoon’s class this week was this cute little Pull-Out Scrapbook. I had heaps of the card backing from the 12×12 DSP packs which I used for the cover. I cut two pieces 10cm x 10cm for the front and back and one piece 2.5cm x 10cm for the spine of the folder. The card was then enclosed in DSP from the Pink Flamingo pack.
The inside of the scrapbook is two sets of pull-out pages each 8.8cm square which fold in concertina fashion, and tied with a ribbon. The cardstock pages coordinate with colours from the DSP. I decorated the pages with images from garden Whimsy stamp set.
I also made up a boys version using Autumn Traditions DSP and Bugs & Kisses stamp set. Here’s the outside of the scrapbook…
and the inside…
and the pages folded out…
Mum & Kids classes are fun (and I have fun creating them!) and are specially designed so that both mum and child can spend some quality time together and each create a project! Stay tuned for more kids classes next school holidays!
Just a reminder that this is the last month for joining Stampin’ Up! for only $259! This special offer ends 31 July 2010.

With this set you have the option of stamping dogs, flowers, hearts or even a Christmas tree in the back of the ute! A great, all round stamp set which can be used for all occassions!

I just thought I’d share with you one of the techniques my Hostess Stamp Club ladies have been learning on our monthly club nights. This card is made using Petal Pizzaz, Sanded and Stem Sayings stamp sets. Every month the club members learn a a new technique, make a card and also stamp up a sample for their techniques book, and I print up an instruction card to also include on the page. Two other cards or projects are also made on the night. Club members are required to place a minimum $30 order each month, and take it in turns to be the hostess and receive the hostess benefits! It’s a fun way to earn some free stamps and product! Each stamp club night is held at my place, and I provided the tea and coffee, materials, tuition and inspiration! The hostess provides the supper! Are you lacking creative mojo? Are you interested in stamping in a fun, friendly atmosphere? Contact me today for more information or to register your interest.
