Well it's Christmas Eve, everything is pretty much done and it's time to enjoy the festivities!

This is the perfect time to thank you all for supporting Stamp with Esther this year, I appreciate you all.

I hope you all have a very happy and blessed Christmas. I'll leave you with my favourite class project from Christmas 2015.

Snowman Retro Milk Bottle using Stampin' Up! products

Hi all

Yesterday I had a super fun day at the Christmas party for the wider Stampin' Up! team that I'm part of. We're called the Stampin' Stars :) It sounds a bit cliched but we really are like one big family. But like most modern, spread out families, we don't have the opportunity to see each other as much as we'd like to so that's what made yesterday extra special.

We celebrated success with a little awards ceremony, we also had a raffle, party games and of course party food! A LOT of party food!

The lovely Pip and Kim receiving their awards from Natalie. Kim won two which is why she features in more pics.


Now, being a creative bunch there obviously has to be something crafty involved so we were asked to bring a WOW swap (something that makes you go WOW when you see it) or a show and tell.

I have a slight obsession with the little vintage milk bottles and the Snow Place bundle so I combined the two!



I used black and white Stazon ink and I must admit it took a few attempts to get the stamping right but if you're quick enough you can wipe it off with a baby wipe and start again! The 'snowballs' were stamped with a sponge dauber, really easy and effective.

To create the slots to feed the straws through I used the Curvy Corner Trio punch and opened it up a little more with scissors.

I've listed the products used below but please do ask if there is anything more you need to know or just leave a comment to let me know what you think :)

Know what I like best? Cute Stampin' Up! birthday card

Hi all

I took a little break from Christmas projects to make a birthday card for a little lady I know who turned 11 this week. I absolutely love the Hey Girl stamp set and this isn't the first time I've shared a project using it!

One of the things I love about it is the various elements that make this set so versatile.

Stampin' Up! OnStage Live - Brussels

Hi all

I know it's taken me too long but I have (finally) got some pictures to share with you from Brussels.

As I look back at the photo's and a wonderful weekend in a beautiful city I am so sad by the images on the news where  the streets instead of vibrant and buzzing are currently deserted. I pray for their safety and for normality to be restored very soon.



Helen & I, ready for the fun to start


Me and Chris, one of our amazing Demo Support staff. 


Fiona and I with Shannon West


Frites! 


Wet and windy Grand Place - still stunning 

Gifts I made for team members

The gift bag was bought (shock!) but made cute with some Stampin' Up! goodies! The black box was made using the envelope punch board and had a little box of chocolates inside. 

Here's what I used and if you'd like instructions or measurements let me know!
