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

Hi there! Wow yes, I know, I'm ultra organised for June!! And who would have guessed that I'd be using new stuff?  I really don't know which one to start with, can't pick a favourite this month, so let me know which is yours! Sooo, first off we have this Abstract Impressions Stamp set to create this card, I love poppies, so when I saw this stamp set, I just had to create some poppies with it. Card #2 uses the dies that bundle together with the above stamp set! Springtime Impressions Thinlit dies, there is another die in the bundle, a lovely butterfly, but how pretty is this large die cut?  and I think the sentiment will be one I use a lot!  This card just uses the new 2018-2020 In colours, they are so lovely and vibrant! Card #3, Oh my goodness the embossing die is sooooo pretty!  This is from Garden Scene framelits, with the matching Serene Garden Stamp set (that the bird is from) and I've used the Ribbon of Courage Stamp set for the saying and small hea

Hi There!  This month's Interactive Card Class is Twirl Cards, which are really amazing, when you open and close them up they have an element inside that spins around (how fun!) remember this class is a mail out class as well as in person - more details at the end. I have taken photos but they don't really show it well, so also done a short video to show it better, however... photos first!  this first card uses the fabulous Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits , and the sayings are from the matching Dragonfly Dreams stamp set . The next card uses the cute Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper , which is on the retiring list, so if you want more, get it while it's still there! isn't the dog so cute? And now to see them in "Action" check out my short video below. And down to the nitty gritty.... The in person class is on Tuesday 15th May 10.30am and 7.30pm, please book your place by 14th, cost is $20 or the Mail out class is available for $17 incl

Hi Everyone, Well as May is at the end of this week, thought I'd better get my act into gear and show you the cards we'll be making at the "4 Cards" classes on Saturday 5th, and Wednesday 9th. I'll jump right in with a brand new Stamp set - Love what you do, which will be available from tomorrow, as a pre-order for you in special bundles (see the video Stampin' Up! have created for it in my "specials happening tab" Oh and spot the new colour?  Grapefruit Grove. Card #2 also uses new stuff - the Love What You Do Specialty Designer Series Paper, oh my goodness it's gorgeous, has a pearl effect (as Stampin' Up! is in it's 30th year, and Pearl being the 30th Anniversary "stone") I've teamed it up with the Duet Banner Punch and the Thoughtful Banners Stamp set . Card #3, and we're back to the "old" finally using my Marbled Stamp as the swirly background, and the Stylized Birthday stamp (which is on

Hi there, thought I'd share with you the creations we made at my Coffee&Cards Class in Dunolly on 23rd. I'm having a bit of a thing with small cards at the moment lol, so I thought what better than to showcase the Notecards and Envelopes that have been around for ages, also the Narrow Notecards and Envelopes (which are currently in the Occasions catalogue and will be moving into the new Annual Catalogue) and also the little 3x3 envelopes, which fit small cards, you can get 6 of them out of a piece of A4 cardstock. Anyway I'm pretty sure you didn't come here to hear me waffle on, so onto the cards! So this first one is the one using the Vanilla Notecards and envelopes, (at only 53c per notecard and envelope they're very economical, and very handy to not have to cut and score you're own!) we also used one of the gorgeous Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers , just cut in 1/2 and the ladies loved that they are really stickers so just peel off the backing!  You

Hi There, Thought I'd do a couple of quick videos for you on how to put your tag card together this month, and part of how I've created the "thankyou" card, which was quick doing the videos, then I've waited the whole day for them to upload to u-tube, and the internet is running like a slug! (and it's not Turbo for those of you who have seen the kids video!) lol, so finally I think I'm there 😁 Just before I get into that *hot news!* the Clearance Rack has just been updated with a heap of reduced products, check them out here: Clearance Rack  if you do put an order in use the open hostess code for the month SBN2669E for a chance to win the FREE GOODIES! However photos first.... this is the card you'll be able to make with your tag: this uses the Bottles & Bubbles bundle (which is only a bundle till the end of the current catalogue, after that you'll pay 10% more to get the dies and stamps!)  also uses the Celebrate You thinlit dies, which

Hi there, This month's interactive class is Bendi Cards 😊 I have 2 cards created to do in the class, and here they are: If you choose this as an "at home" kit for this first card you will need some cloud stamps, and a couple of balloon stamps, along with a saying, I have used Lift me Up Stamp set,   I will provide the cut out pieces, but I can't stamp them for you.  The second card has 2 variations;  this first one is where you'll use the stamps and dies from Magical Day bundle, which is what we'll do in the class (saves fussy cutting! ), then you'll colour in the images.  This second version is the "at Home" version, as it uses the images from the Myths and Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper, and involves fussy cutting the images out (on the plus side they are pre coloured for you lol, however the images may vary from mine. and you will need a saying.  The class date is Tuesday 24th April there are 2 classes, 10.30am and
