Hi there Creators Yay, sharing our cards for my April Classes now, so I don't forget when my Mum is over! Class dates in April are Friday 4th 1pm in my classroom Laanecoorie, and Saturday 5th at 10.30am at Wattle City Church Maryborough. Don't forget to book your place! First up we have this card made with the Spring Corners Bundle (it's an Online bundle in case you're wondering where it arrived from!)  I was quite taken with the dies in particular, but of course some of them cut out images, and after having seen these cute little balloons on someone else's card I was hooked!🤣 also used the delicate Blooming pearls , I felt it needed something that wasn't really bold with this set! Next up We have this card using Birthday Celebration Stamps , and One More Year Stamps , I love using the Brights colours with the One More Year Stamps, I really feel it lends itself to bright and fun!  Inside the card is a surprise saying of " At least you're not as old ...

 Hi There Creators Today I decided to have a go at something that's been brewing in my brain, and I'm happy with the way it turned out, not sure if there's a specific name for cards like this or if this is a Heather special! The idea is to stamp a nice colourful image for the underneath image, then the same image as a plain image non-coloured in or less decorative.   This one then gets cut up with a series of dies that allow a small gap between them.  I thought it would be cool if the top image is raised and the best way I found of doing this was to add Foam Adhesive sheets to the back before it's cut, gives it a nice sturdy lift, plus saves faffing around with mini dimensionals and trying to cut them down! Anyway here are the photos of the finished cards, and you end up making 2 cards out of the one cut! these are the ones I made up first, using the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and the absolutely gorgeous Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments So then onto the one...

 Hi There Creators Today I'm showing you how to make the card that Paula (Yellow Bear Stamping) was showing off when we were together in New Zealand (couple of weeks ago in my video) see the video here: Live Video with Paula I have no idea if it has a special name, she found it on Connie Stewarts blog (from USA), so now I'm borrowing it and changing it (as I do....)  see my measurements down the bottom. Here is the "original style" card that I made: (click the links to see the products) This one uses Nested Essentials Dies , Courage & Faith Stamps , and Timeless Plaid Designer Paper on a backing cardstock of Pebbled Path (I'm going to be so sad to see that colour go when the In colours retire in May!) then in the video I (kind of) made this one: which uses Wildly Flowering Designer Paper , the same dies ( Nested Essentials) , and a new Stamp set: Tags of Thanks . then I made my sideways revised version....  for this I've used the rather lovely Everyday H...

 Hi there Creators, Oh my goodness we're at the 1st March, where did the last 2 months go?!  Thought I'd better hop on and let you know what we'll be making for our cards in March. Classes are Friday 7th at 1pm my classroom in Laanecoorie, and 10.30am in Maryborough, the Wattle City Church 19 Argyle Road. Class cost is $24 for 4 cards Ok moving onto the cards themselves...... there are new Online products and I couldn't resist using some of them to create these😃  This first card uses Thankful Garden Decorative Masks ,   You are Remarkable Stamp set and the Hole Punch Trio . then this second card uses the same You Are Remarkable Stamp set, and the rather gorgeous Botanical Textures Designer Series paper and now for the twist....  The other 2 cards are "surprise cards"  You will get to pick the cards you make out of a selection😁 Don't forget to let me know if you're coming, and remember if you want to see the products I've used, click the link I...

 Hi there Creators As I mention in the video I saw this idea on Facebook and just had to have a go and then was so excited I had share it with you too!  Oh such a cool way to use the Stampin' Up! masks! You will need a Silicone Craft Sheet (Or Silly Cone, as one of my friends says 🤣) Masks and a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (and of course cardstock) And this is what you end up with...... This first card uses the Linked Together Decorative Masks,    Two tone Reindeer Memories cardstock , which is has this cool effect when sanded, the reason it's called two tone is one side is lighter than the other side. I've used the Birthday Celebrations Dies to create the banner, and the With You in Mind stamp set (love big sayings) Not forgetting some of the Antique Pearls . then again the Linked Together Decorative Masks , (2 together on this card) along with the Bright Borders Stamps , To the Point Label Punch , then with the fabulous Night of Navy Glittered Ribbon ...

  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it:  I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action.  Its not a bad littl...
