Remembrance Day - Stampin' Up style

After seeing a glittered up poppy on Helen's fab blog there was no way I was not going to have a go! After all I'm not called Glittermum for nothing!

I used the brilliant heat and stick powder from Stampin' Up, and some of the amazing ultra fine glitter too. I am rather proud of the results, and have to say that I have worn it all day today without too much glitter fall out! The heat and stick is absolutely the best way ever of attaching glitter. I'm making a couple more for some of my colleagues - now what else could I cover in glitter.......

Bah humbug!

These are blatantly CASEd from Helen's fabulous Fiddlefart Blog. I made some of these little sour cream containers for Halloween and I'm going to make 24 for a different advent countdown this year. These ones contain a couple of mint humbugs just for fun!

Another cute reindeer

Just thought you might like to say hello to another reindeer friend of mine! I make quite a few of these each Christmas and they are so simple but so effective. A bar of soap, a flannel and a couple of pipe cleaners - and that's it!

Stampin' Up! paper rosette wreath

I've seen lots of paper rosette wreaths around blogland so thought I'd have a go! I used some of last year's Stampin' Up! Christmas paper and some of the gorgeous stripy grosgrain ribbon. If you look closely there are some beautiful glimmer brads, tiny buttons and I even managed to use one of my extra precious filigree brads too! The rosettes are just so simple to make, and it's very relaxing creasing all those strips of paper! There are some fabulous You Tube tutorials if you fancy a go!

I've got a very special offer for you today. I am loving the new In Colours (especially Wisteria Wonder!) and so am providing a way you can  get your hands on some card, designer paper and ribbon - without breaking the bank!

For the grand total of £13 (if you collect)  you will receive 2 sheets of A4 card in each of the lovely new In Colours, 2 sheets of 12 by 12 designer papers in each colour and 1 metre of ribbon in each colour. Just contact me on 07877042498 or niki.ridge.nr@googlemail.com for a share!

Stampin' Up! ruffled ribbon share

Now I absolutely love all the ribbons in the Stmapin' Up! catalogue, but don't always need 10 metres at a time, and as I want them all it gets very expensive! This is why I'm launching my 1st ribbon share today - you can have a metre of each of the new In Colour Ruffled Ribbons for £5.30 including p and p. If you would like a share of this just let me know - niki.ridge.nr@googlemail.com, or 07877042498. Just wait till you see them in the flesh - they are gorgeous!

Dasher -the most handsome reindeer of all!

I absolutely love Dasher, and am really pleased with these Christmas cards. I have used the lovely striped grosgrain ribbon (which is now available in fab NEW colours), and added interest with the utterly gorgeous Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.

If you book my class on 29th November you will have the chance to recreate this card in Real Red, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive, so let me know if you want to come along.
