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

October Class Cards

Hi there Creators, Wow October already tomorrow!  As I usually do I'm working my way up to having 4 Christmas cards in the selection by December, so we did 1 last month, this month we're up to 2 😊 The classes for October are this coming Saturday 5th in Maryborough at 10am, then Thursday 10th at 10.30am in Laanecoorie and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie. (Please note there is NO Wednesday class this month). Ok so onto the cards.....  First up I wanted to use some of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers, this one is the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP, and the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set I fell in love with everything on page 31, and conveniently enough Stampin' Up! have put it all together in the Christmas Gleaming suite - Yay!  The other Christmas card for the month is this one, again using Designer Series Paper, this time you get a choice either Night before Christmas or Feels like Frost , have to admit I'm loving the Designer Series Papers available at the momen

Hi there, Amazing isn't it how the year is just rushing past?  I have the cards sorted for August, Class dates are Saturday 4th in Maryborough at 10am, then Wednesday 8th in Laanecoorie at 10.30am and 7.30pm Here they are, I'm hard pushed to choose a favourite this month, but this first one might be it!  it uses the beautiful "Healing Hugs" stamp set, and I had to use the new gorgeous purples!  Gorgeous Grape, and Highland Heather (oh what a good name lol) This would have to come a close second, how cute is this little platypus? he's from the stamp set Postcard Pals .  Using spot of paper piecing, so bring your specs/glasses to class! I thought he teamed up rather well with the Seaside Embossing Folder , what do you think?  Next is this dinky little card made using the Whisper White Narrow Note Cards and Envelopes , and Oh my goodness! the stunning Petal Promenade designer Series Paper , and not forgetting the Darling Label punch box which comes with it

Hi There, We had our CreateAbles team day on Saturday, and had so much fun, I thought I'd share some photos with you all :) Our day started with "Yours Truly" giving a motivational talk for my team (which thankfully seemed to go down well!)  Then we moved onto Rosalie Fitzmaurice from RJ Papercrafts doing a demo for us on the new Make a Difference Alphabet set, which is a beautiful set, and she did a fabulous job demoing it to us. Next we moved onto our Make & Takes for the day, Jenny Stewart had made this beautiful creation for us (at least this was my interpretation of it, as we were allowed various stamp sets) gotta love this "Share What You Love Designer Series Paper", and the beautiful Pearlised Doilies! Next Up Renee Mallia from Crafty Nay's Cards shared this fabulous Creation using the Sea of Textures Stamp set and the Under the Sea framelits:  and this is the inside it's so cool! called an explosion card (kind of like a tar
