June Class Cards

Hi there Creators Can't believe we're 1/2 way through the year!  June cards seem to focus on Designer Papers (it just happened that way 🤣)  however as I've been working out ways to show them off to their potential there are a couple of interesting folds we'll be doing,  Dates are Friday 6th June and Saturday 7th June.  Here goes....... Using the Beautiful Gallery Papers and a spot of pretty heat embossing then moving onto the Boho Vibes Designer Paper , and Round we Go Dies (continued from last year)  This next card uses the beautiful " Thoughtful Journey" Designer Series Paper, another carry over from last year, and I've pair it up with the Cheers & Sips Stamp set . Last but not least we have the Poppin' By Bundle used to create this cute card, also used the Textured Note Dies to create templates for masking the background. And that's it!  I hope you can join us, let me know if you plan to, if not I hope these give you inspiration to keep c...

Sneak Peek Occasions 2017 - Lift Me Up

-
Hi Everyone,
Yes I'm back again with another Sneak Peek, This time from the new upcoming Occasions Catalogue (will be live on 4th January), if you've been in Pinterest recently this will be one you've definitely seen around, I've finally got around to playing with mine, and here are my first efforts:
 
And yes, now I can see why people like it so much, with this card I've used a piece of Watercolour paper behind, and washed over a bit of colour, the Up and Away thinlit dies come with sections to do the back of the big balloon, so you just add them behind it, and it colours your balloon for you, I've done a close up of the watercolour wash for you to check out:
Oh and the ribbon is new too :)
Ok so the other card I created for someone in particular so it will be winging it's way to her hopefully tomorrow!
This card also uses Suite Sentiments (also from the new Occasions Catalogue), that is a great set of words that mix well with all the different stamp sets in the catalogue.  I've used some of the gorgeous Blushing Bride Glimmer paper in this card behind the balloon (hand cut) and again a wash on the background although this time just onto the plain Vanilla cardstock.
If you don't have the new Catalogues yet, let me know and I'll get them out to you.
Hope this inspires you to create,
God Bless
Love

 Hi there Creators, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan).

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...
