Something Saturday - Create Along

-
Image
 Hi there Creators Stampin' Up! had a Demonstrator only event the other day, and showed us how to create "one sheet wonders" from a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP). I got inspired and added a bit more into it, and you guys get to benefit from it 😃  I hope you do craft along with me in the video, but if you need a bit of extra help, I have a Create Along PDF for you (hopefully I can work out how to attach it!, let me know if it hasn't worked!)  List of what you need below photos. Photos below of the 2 sets of cards I ended up creating: Here is what I used for this first set of cards:  Kintsugi Inspirations   I used Stampin' Write Markers that will be retiring as they run out, but you could just as easily use the Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) just use Memento ink with them rather than Stazon! And these are the ones I created in the video, here is the link for all the goodies I used for these cards: Absolutely Charming  (how pretty is this paper)! ...

Cards for October Classes

Image
Hi There Creators, So I'm organised enough that I have next months class cards worked out (woo hoo go me!🤣) Classes are on:  Friday 3rd at 1pm in Laanecoorie & Saturday 4th October 10.30am in Maryborough.  As the 4th also happens to be World Card-Making Day I have permission from the church to use the hall for longer so we can watch it all together.  However, I totally recommend you register here, World Card Making Day registration , regardless of whether you'll be there or you won't be, as you can watch it in retrospect PLUS they did say there'll be gift afterwards for everyone who registers!  If you want to craft along with it you can purchase this kit and make it along with the presenters:  Handmade & Heartfelt Kit      Anyway back to the cards for the month..... First up, I don't think I've used this gorgeous Sunflower 3D embossing folder yet in a class, and Oh my goodness every time I use it, it packs a punch! to see all the goodies ...

In the video I just showed off all the components of each: Christmas Greetings Mix & Match specialty Cards & Envelopes (lovely gold foil on them) Greetings for you Mix & Match Ephemera Pack Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack Christmas Tags & More 6x6" Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper I also mentioned that I'm happy to do up 1/2 packs of these bundled together.  I have worked out the price to be $40 plus postage if I have to mail it out to you.  Let me know if you are interested in this. Also if you're keen to use these, but lack inspiration, I'll be offering a class (see details below the photos).   For these pictures I have just laid the pieces on top of the base cards, not stuck down, but just to check layouts, I've added a bit of the Real Red Shiny ribbon in the first ...

 Hi there Creators I was scrolling through Facebook the other day and came across a short with a simple Waterfall Card on it, and realised, hey I haven't done one of those in ages!  this is nice and simple (in theory, although towards the end of the video, I had to do a bit of adjustment! I ended up making a second card with only 5 waterfall pieces rather than the original 8, and it seems to work better (plus I didn't have to think up another 3 windows for it🤣  I've photographed them side by side, so you can see each window..... Now for the measurements, for the Popcorn Card you'll need:  And if you want to see the goodies I used click this link: Popcorn Waterfall Card 8 pieces of 7cm x 7cm (colour) 8 pieces of 6cm x 6cm (white) strip 2cm x 14cm 7cm x length of A4 (29.8cm), scored at 7cm, 8, 9,10,11,12, 13 and 14cm For the "Not 29 Anymore" Card you'll need: And if you want to see the goodies I used click this link: Not 29 Waterfall Card 5 pieces of 3...

Wow the Iridescent Treat bags are really something, also incredibly sturdy, they do not rip (believe me I tried🤣) To see all the goodies I've used click this link: Heather's Treat Bags/Jar Cards This is the first card I made before the the video, I had stamped the baubles onto the window sheet and coloured them in with Stampin' blends (alcohol markers) as they will stay on the window sheet. But this second card I made in the video I wanted the sweets to be behind the iridescent layer (plus I wanted them to not be black!, and the only ink I have that will stamp on window sheets is my Stazon Black Not sure how easily you can see the bling, but Oh my goodness it goes well with this, I've used the Two tone Sparkling gems (very pretty blue & purple'y colours) I've used a white piece measuri...
