Something Saturday - Blackout Embossing

Image
  Hi there Creators Today I'm showing you a technique I learnt just recently - Janine Rawlins had put it up on her FB, and as soon as I saw it I had to go and have a go!  OH MY GOODNESS!! If you haven't come across it before and you have a plentiful supply of embossing folders, I suspect you will be like me too.🤣 So here are the creations I made then I'll give you a brief rundown on how to do it: (I may have got a little carried away......) First up: Fern 3D embossing folder and one of the embossing folders from Stripes & Splatters 3D embossing folders . Then the other embossing folder from Stripes & Splatters is the Pretty Peacock one, and the purple one is one of the Basics 3D embossing Folders Then lastly the 2 embossing folders from Fun Patterns embossing folders (these aren't 3D folders, but they still work 😍) Don't they look great? So, here is the way to do it.....  For these ones I started off with a piece of white cardstock, embossed it, then

Cards for February Classes

Hi there Creators, Almost February, so thought I'd best show you what we're going to be making at the classes on Saturday 2nd 10am in Maryborough, Tuesday 5th at 7.30pm in Laanecoorie (my classroom) and Wednesday 6th 10.30am in Laanecoorie (my classroom) They all use some of the new goodies from the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalogues. First up: this card uses the Forever Lovely stamp set and matching Lovely Flowers Edgelits , and the Pretty Label Punch Card 2 uses the Let it Ride stamp set , combined with the Stamparatus for ease of stamping my sister and daughter are both into horses so I really felt this was a must have set for cards for them!, and as so many people around this rural area have horses I also thought it was a fairly safe bet to do a horse card, I think just about everyone I know, knows someone who has a horse!   Card #3 uses the beautiful Lovely Lattice Sale-a-Bration stamp set , remember when you purchase $90 of goodies you can get this set for

All My Love #Simplestamping Challenge

Just makes you want to go Muwah! Hi There Creators, well today I'm showcasing the "All My Love Designer Series Paper" Oh it's so pretty!  I have made a determined effort that this year I'm going to actually use my DSP's (Designer Series Paper's) rather than just looking at them and admiring them lol (which seems to often happen) So with this series of 5 cards I've managed to use a piece of each of the 6 papers - admittedly I've used what I consider to be the prettier side of each, although sometimes it's a hard choice!  Stampin' Up! are also doing a Simple Stamping challenge, which means that you try and take your stamping back to basics, by just using Stamps, Ink and Paper, and in this months challenge a punch too.  This month the theme is Valentines Day, which conveniently fits in nicely with these papers! So onto the cards here they are all together, then I'll show you them individually:  For the #simplestamping Challenge I

How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper Cards

Image
Hi Creators, I've made a YouTube video on these 6 cards, and wanted to pop it in writing too, so here goes! I wanted to show how you can take a Designer Series Paper pack add one stamp set and create a heap of cards quick and easily from it. (I used Birthday Cheer stamp set, which coincidentally has a fabulous die set to go with it!, and of course it comes as a bundle, so you can get 10% off it *yay, gotta love bundles*), First up, cutting your cardstock, I've added white cardstock as my base card and a piece cut to 10.5cm x 7.4cm.   As I don't like to waste cardstock, you'll find that A4 cut in 1/2 creates A5 (14.8cm x 21cm). which you can fold in 1/2 at 10.5cm and create your base card. Then cut A5 in half (10.5x14.8), and in half again gives you the 10.5x7.4cm, and you have the perfect size for a focal piece for your card. On to the cards I've used the How Sweet it is Designer Series Paper which will be available from tomorrow! in the new Occasions Catalog
