I have just revamped my classes and starting up some new classes since moving to North Devon. They start this Tuesday and all of the details are on the events page of this blog. If you live locally I would love to hear from you! If you don't live locally, subscribe to my blog as I will be updating every Wednesday with the projects from the classes and Thursdays with bonus projects using the same stamp set or theme!


Follow me on Instagram. This week I am starting a series of christmas banner ideas called '12 Days of Christmas Bunting' I am on Instagram as Jo Penney and you can follow me there - some of these ideas I will also update onto my blog every Monday. I am #joppy.co.uk

Tuesday I am aiming to feature 'Tool Tip Tuesdays' which will be tips on how to use your crafting tools, although aimed to the beginner crafter tips are useful to any level of crafting.
There is a new Stampin' up trimmer to purchase from 1st November also and I am testing it out cutting up all my card for my classes so I will soon be able to review it for you.


Friday I am featuring scrapbooking with (hopefully) a new border idea for you pages every week. This feature will be niftily be called 'Bordering on the weekend' So all ye scrapbook friends out there check me out on a Friday!

Saved the best until last - on Saturday I will feature a kit, it may be one of my own kits - (see under 'Make and Take box' on the menu for those that are available. ) OR it will be me showcasing one of Stampin'up's ready to go kits. and ... Sunday will be yet more inspiration using the featured kit.


Well I am planning to be busy. Any feedback is very much appreciated and I am also trying to undertake some You Tubes to accompany all of the above areas where appropriate which will be linked into this blog as well.

There may be a few teething problems so bear with me, I may have been a bit ambitious but if I only achieve half of this I will be buzzing!!

As it has been very busy pulling all of this together the kit this month will also be part of my second class on the 19th November and this is a sneaky peek of one of the projects from the kit. Check out my make and take in a box page for details on how to order it and craft along with me.


Stampin' Up have something special up their sleeves for the 20th to 22nd November - I don't even know what it is yet. Lets build the suspense - I am hoping it is some bargains!!

Post it note Holder using Golden Honey Papers - updated imperial measurements for box included.

The Golden Honey Papers in their pristine black white and gold said 'office stationery ' to me and so I used them together with the Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee dies to make some coasters, a gift box holding 6 notecards and envelopes, a post it note holder and a cute giant paperclip topper. I put the photo onto a Facebook page that is for Stampin' Up demonstrators today and was totally overwhelmed by the response and requests for instructions on how to make the post it note holder - so I have quickly put this post together and it is mostly a photo show of the instructions because that was the fastest way I could do it! To make this desktop holder you will need some basic black cardstock. The holder has been made to fit post it notes that measure 3 x 3 inches. I originally made it around the post it notes in and cut in centimetres - So I have taken the original box apart and measured it all and have put some photographs of the measurements and how to put it to...

Joppy goes Blog Hoppy

Hello, I love that I can make a rhythm out of joppy and hoppy - its always a struggle thinking of a blog title! Welcome to anyone who has not visited my blog before, I have a fairly new blog, have not participated in the blog hop before and so its especially great to see you! I had a lovely open house last Saturday and invited some of my crafting friends to come and look at what the new Spring/Summer catalogue has to offer and I made some cards to display and the cards I have put up for the blog hop today I made with a stamp set featured on page 44. called Best Catch and co-ordinating Catch of the day thinlits dies. I haven't seen very much on the Internet or on Pinterest anywhere made with this set so I am especially pleased to show you this great set. There is one very special man in my life to whom I recently became engaged and he loves fishing so I thought this set would come in handy. Also he reliably informs me that the fish looked rather like salmon and tha...

Playing with Different Coloured Circles

  I thought I would share with you another set of cards and technique that Learned recently on the Creative Card Retreat I attended. I am catching up with some of the presentations still and this tutorial came from one of the Creative team Jackie Bolhuis. These are the cards I made and the envelopes to match and you may just be able to see the inside decoration for the end card in the photograph! The cards look really striking in the new bright in-colours and you simply cut four circles in different graduating sizes using a circle punch - I used my layering circles dies. The you cut them in half on your trimmer. Then arrange. So this is how I layered up my half circles and then the photograph belo shows how I arranged them onto the card. Then simply add a sentiment to the card. The bright colours look great with black but what about trying pastels or a gradient of the same colour, or even glitter card - what about stitched circle dies? Lots and lots of variations and combinations w...
