Something Saturday - Create Along

 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)! ...

January 2017 CreateAbles Team Meeting

-
Hi Everyone,
Well this morning was our monthly team meeting as it's January a lot of folks were away, so in the end there was 3 of us! - and I remembered to take some photos - Yay!
We did a spot of training on the Stampin' Up! levels first, and checked out the reports on the website, hopefully it made more sense now to Val and Marg :)
Then I did a little "Show and Tell" on how to use your thinlits and framelits to emboss instead of cut, (you'll see a video on using thinlits here: video on embossing with thinlits)
I used a framelit too to create this cute card:
 
Then we moved on to the Make and Takes first up using the new Balloon Adventure Bundle


If you have one the catalogues it's all on page 5 (if you'd like one let me know!) I've also used the Party Animal Designer Series Paper and the Emerald Envy Taffeta Ribbon and the Party Animal Embellishments (they're so cool!) Oh except for the Candle Border Punch!which is on page 7.

The other card we created is one of the ones I was teaching at my classes this month:
Just love this Beautiful You stamp set!
As there was only the 2 ladies, they both ended up with a prize from the raffle (actually we didn't have a raffle I just gave them both one of the prizes each 😊 (I love treating my team members)

And here are they are creating:
 
And their creations;

 
Thanks for coming girls, and for everyone else, if you want to join my team, NOW is the time, as from January to end of March you can get an extra 2 free stamp sets with your starter kit (which you pick your own goodies to the value of $235 and only pay $169!) click on the "Join My Team" tab above, for more information.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this post, and it has inspired you to create.
God Bless love

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...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

 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...
