Saying Goodbye To Simple Stems

Simple Stems is yet another gorgeous stamp set retiring at the end of this month. It can be found in the Occasions Catalogue on page 33. Remember this mini catalogue ends June 30th as well!

This is a card I made using Simple Stems & Hardwood & is based on one by Jenny Moors. Those of you that came to my Biggest Morning Tea Fundraiser got to make a set of 3 of these cards in a cute chevron bag. I used Afternoon Picnic DSP focusing on Coastal Cabana & Crushed Curry, which were my theme colours for the day.

Here is the bag that the ladies made on the day to hold their cards & envelopes in. Please note the Coastal Cabana Ruffle Ribbon I used on the bag is also retiring at the end of the month.

One thing I made that was very popular on the day was this beautiful paper sponge cake. I have had many requests to run this as a class & am glad to say this will be going ahead on 29th June. Up the top of my blog there is a section called CLASSES. Please feel free to look in there to see if anything interests you.

Paper Sponge Cake

This cake can be used to hold cake slices as it has individual slices that form a box. This cake is made from Naturals Ivory to make it look like a sponge cake. The theme for the day was the Biggest Morning Tea so there were lots of high tea goodies & displays. We had a great day & raised over $750 for the Cancer Council. I want to take this opportunity to send out a very special thank you to everyone who attended or donated on the day.

Thanks For Looking,
