Something Saturday - Bendy Floating Window Card

Image
Hi there Creators,  I saw a version of this card online pretty sure it was Lisa Curcio over in the States, I have simplified it right down (my husband says conserving cardstock and being economical) 🤣 She had used 4 pieces of A6 Cardstock to create hers, mine only uses one, plus the designer paper, embellishments and a couple of white strips for the back to write on. Anyway here are the ones I created: This first one uses Sweet Jar bundle  (stamps & punch), also the new Regals Designer Series papers , and the Spotlight on Nature Dies (although when I cut the circle I wasn't really thinking about the fact the pretty bit is on the inside 🤦‍♀️) The card I made in the video uses the ever so pretty Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper, then paired up with the new Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and matching Extraordinary flora bundle .  Oh my goodness you're going to want to get those!  I've attached the saying in the same way with a strip of matchi...

Todays Fundraiser Event

Hi Everyone,
Well today was the day of the Crafting Fundraiser for the Loaves and Fishes.  We had 11 ladies there today, it was a really fabulous day!, I thought I'd show you all what we created, I had originally scheduled to create 4 projects, but turned out we had time for 5 😊
We started off the day with this notebook and pen set, We were using a gorgeous Stamp Set - Strength and Prayers, sadly retired and sold out :( and the beautiful "Falling in Love" Designer Series Paper, again retired and last I checked it was on the low inventory list :(

 and the back of the notebook........
Then moved on to this card:

As we still had 1/2 hour before lunch, I'd whipped up this extra card, first thing in the morning with a sneaky suspicion that I might need to fill in a bit more time (just as well I did!)
this is such a fun card to make, I figured a group of ladies together, and we needed Handbags - lol the handbags themselves are made using the Best Badge Punch, I think they make cute little handbags, and the ladies loved having an extra card to make. I also think the rings in the background look like coffee stains on a table, handbags and coffee, umm all we need is chocolate......  which conveniently enough I'd put chocolates into the little bags I made up for the ladies!

After lunch, Denise then treated us to a slide show explaining how and why the Loaves and Fishes community meals programe got started/up and running, which was really interesting (even though I was part of it, it was amazing to see the photos and the transformation that the church kitchen had)
I then taught the ladies how to create these next 2 projects
this card........
and this framed piece........
Everyone loved the gorgeous papers, and the projects we created with them, and of course in true Heather style I forgot to take any photos of the day, however I did get reminded to do the door prizes, which I'd organised for each hour (just as well someone was on the ball - lol)
I haven't been able to work out the exact amount we raised today, but it's around $300!  Thank you so much to everyone who came and supported this day, I really enjoyed it, and I'd love to do another day like this again, stay tuned....lol

I hope these projects inspire you to create.
God Bless love

Just a little add on now that all the monies have come in, We have officially made $400 which I will be giving to Coral Davies (the treasurer) tonight at the Loaves & Fishes Community Meals.  Not a bad effort, thanks to all who took part and helped to make it a great day.
