Upper Tantallon, Nova Scotia

Studio Conveniently Located In

274DF38D 2735 4F87 9C78 0D655200815DHi, I'm Christine Alward and welcome to my website. I have been a demonstrator with Stampin' Up! since December 2009, and I love paper crafting and card making. 

I love to make people feel good and happy about their accomplishments, big or small, and I can never get enough of the smiles and pride I see on my customers' faces when they look at a finished project.

So many have told me that they have no creativity or talent when it comes to crafting, and all I would ask them is to give it a try and let me prove them wrong. Watching happy clients of all ages leave my classes with their finished cards and projects is what I like best about my job as independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I hope you will find inspiration in the projects I present here and that you will join me in my studio for a class.

Hello Dragonfly!

Hi my Stamper Friends,

as I am sitting in my living-room in Austria, I wonder what everyone is doing right at this moment ...
Some of you might be shoveling snow, some might be gald they made it to work without slipping off the slick roads, others could be just lucky enough to be able to stay home and stamp their hearts out - making Valentines.
I am keeping busy preparing for family visiting me here for a few weeks.
But ... no worries, I am still nurtoring my creative soul and mind, more details will be posted soon.

Before taking off for my vacation I sent out Thank You card to all my January customers and Stampingbirds Team members. There were several different variations of the same design, here are some of them.

Product List:
Stamp: 
Cottage Greetings (page 74 Annual Catalogue)
Paper: Falling in Love Designer Series Paper, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla card stock, Gold Foil Sheets
Ink: Tip Top Taupe
Tools: Big Shot, Detailed Dagonfly Thinlits Dies, Bunch of Banners Framelits 
Embellishments:
Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim, 3/8" Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack (SAB 2017) Lace Doilies 

I picked two designs of the lovely DSP, made sure to use the Very Vanilla side of our Lace Doilies.
The Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack is FREE product with a $60 order during SAB 2017, I used the vanilla ribbon woven with shiny golden accents.

Instructions:
1) Fold 8 1/2"x 5 1/2" piece of Sahara Sand CS, scored at 4 1/2"
2) Adhere 5 1/4" x 4" piece of DSP to card front, same size of Very Vanilla CS goes to the inside of the card
3) Glue the Lace Doily to card front, attach ribbons, approx. 11" in length each, and adhere the cut out dragonfly
4) Stamp sentiment on bottom right side of the card using Tip Top Taupe ink
5) Stamp "Thanks" on strip of Very Vanilla CS and cut out banner using Bunch of Banners Framelits, adhere to card front using Dimensionals and/or Glue Dots, and you are DONE! Congratulations!

Thank you so much for your interest in my blog posts, hope you enjoy my movie.
I want to give credit to Cathy Caines of inthecatcave.com, I found her card on Pinterest and CASEd it.

Now time to lean back and watch

Thank you all,
be happy, create and stamp with

Christine
