Last Saturday I had my Holiday Catalogue Review where everyone could come together and have some fun trying out these wonderful products from the new Holiday Catalogue. It was such fun and craziness. I wanted to share some of the happenings with you.
Sorry it has taken so long to get this together. I have had a really stressful week with our dog. Last Sunday we woke to find he couldn’t walk and he was vomiting foamy stuff. It was really bad. We took him straight to the vet and I am sure he was nearly gone. We thought Monday we may have to make a tough decision for him. It was a scary time. He had a little stay at the hospital and he was treated so well that incredibly he has made a full recovery. We still don’t know what caused it but he has enjoyed some extra attention!!
So now as things have settled a little I can get back to creating and sharing with you.
Firstly, I will share a couple of photos beforehand. I missed taking some photos with all the busyness but you can get a bit of an idea.
(NB: I do apologise for the photos with different size watermarks. Funny things were happening with my editing program!)
The room was set up ready for guests to arrive.
Apart from the usual tea/coffee and snacks I made these special treats. I got the idea from a fellow Demonstrator on a Facebook group I am on.
Some little Santa hats (marshmallows and strawberries on Toothpicks), Some Gingerbread men (we only had Tiny Teddies at the time), and some reindeer noses. I punched out some Cookie Cutter characters to go with them.
I made a little banner with the Cookie Cutter stamps and punches too. It was only small to fit where I was hanging it but silly me forgot to take a photo of that before I packed everything up. Here is the Banner though.
I cut some strips of Real Red card. I think they measured 5cm x 10cm (2″ x 4″)?? and cut the end with the Banner Punch. I ran the card through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. I punched holes in the top to thread through some Real Red/White Baker’s Twine. Then added the characters.
These were little treat boxes I made for everyone. They were very simple boxes. I will tell you how I made them in another post. They are decorated with some Candy Cane Lane DSP and a tag made from the ‘Merry Tags’ Framelits. The sentiment is from the ‘Merriest Wishes’ set. I filled the boxes with a little cello bag with lengths of different twine and a small pack of M&M’s.
Now for the projects everyone made.
This is the first card we made. It’s a cute Spinner card. I didn’t show the other side but the front character is the Santa and then the other side was the Eskimo. They could make them whatever they like. We had Santas and Gingerbread men and Eskimos all happening. They loved this card. I did CASE this off a Demonstrator friend on a group. (yes it was the same person who did the Character treats above).
This was another of the Make and Takes. We created a little tag using the Paisley Framelits. The sentiment is from ‘Tin of Cards’ stamp set. The tag was finished off with some of the Ruched ribbon.
Thanks for letting me share these pics. Hope you have a great day,
Jenny

I have been having fun making samples with the Swirly Bird stamps and Swirly Scribbles Thinlits ready for my Swirly Bird Class tomorrow. I just finished this card today and had to show you now. I really liked how it turned out. I saw an idea for a type of pinwheel using it somewhere, I think on a group I am on?? So I thought I would have a play and see what I could come up with. I wasn’t sure how it would work at first. Here is the end result.
What do you think? Pretty funky?
It’s a simple card in itself. The colours for the pinwheels are from the top right: Emerald Envy and Wild Wasabi; Dapper Denim and Tempting Turquoise; Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo and Peekaboo Peach and Tangerine Tango. I only realised as I got to the last one that I was using the new Incolors. 🙂 The “spots” from the stamp set and stamped in Daffodil Delight. The sentiment is from ‘Guy Greetings’. I went through all my stamp sets and thought this font really suited.
The Rhinestones were coloured with a Black Sharpie to add to the centres. The white card was then adhered to a Basic Black mat and the base card is Tangerine Tango.
These pinwheels were really fun to do and being a clear set you can see through the block to line up each stamp. I stamped the shape running across lengthways first and then inked the stamp again and flipped it to run across the other direction. Then inked the other colour and stamped to line up the long edge with the shorter edge already stamped if that makes sense?? I think I will have to try some more cards with these pinwheels!
Go and make some funky pinwheels for yourself. Of course, you need the Swirly Bird stamp set to do this. If you haven’t already got it and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits you better buy it. This is such a fun and versatile set. Get it as a Bundle and save 10%.
If you are in Australia you can order it through me if you don’t already have a Demonstrator. Head to my Store HERE and place your order or contact me directly.
Thanks for visiting me today.

Just a quick one today. This is one of the cards we are making at my class this Saturday 21st at 2pm. There is still room if you are in the area. $15. The cards are a mix of current products with some retiring stamps.
This card uses the Botanical Builders Thinlits which I am really loving at the moment. I have teamed it with the Dotty Angles set which is leaving. Did you know I have only just inked this set up. BAD!! I have so many uninked sets.
Leave a comment or email me if you would like to come. I might even let you have a new catalogue. 😉
