Hi there Creators, Well we're 1/2 way through the month already, and Wow I now have 2 separate card Classes sorted for September!  the first is our regular class, which is what this post is about, the other is the special Gingerbread Man & Sophisticated Alternative Cracker class (click the link to see, should open in a new window). Anyway back to our regular class for September, which will be on Friday 5th; 1pm in my classroom and Saturday 7th; 10.30am Maryborough Class cost $25 for the 4 cards. As we'll be 4 months out from Christmas, we'll be making one Christmas card at this class (2 in Oct, 3 in Nov, 4 in Dec) 😃  gotta work your way up to it! So, by popular demand I've created this little guy with the sliding "behind".   To see all the "ingredients" click here: Sausage Dog Slider Next up using new goodies is this elegant sympathy card, although it could easily be changed to other sentiments using the same Unbounded Love stamp set, the new P...

Bubble Over New Stamp Set and Dies

-
Hi Everyone
Been wanting to do this post for a few days, but due to changing up my phone (or at least I'm assuming this is the reason) I'm having trouble watermarking my photos, for some reason the app I was using won't work anymore, and itunes/app store won't allow me to download a new one (grrr)
However winge over, excuse the extra watermarking.....

There is a new cool set in the upcoming Occasions Catalogue (if you've got the catalogue it's on page 32)   Bubble Over, and Bottles & Bubbles framelits
I felt it needed me to do something with it, so here's my offering!
First up I felt it should be teamed up with the new Sale-a-Bration papers that match it - Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper, the "bottle tops" are in the paper, and there's a framelit to cut them out (yay)
Next card I made, I wondered how the bottles would look cut out of the new glimmer Papers (page 37) Tom (husband) wasn't keen, but then he's not so keen on sparkles lol.
 
Card #3 I've been meaning to try out this technique for a while now, it's where you use a Stampin' Write Marker just to colour over the edges and lines of a stamp (as you can see in the top card, the bottles are actually a block stamp, as oppose to a line stamp, I really like the look it gives them doing this this way (what do you think?)  I've teamed them up with this Painted with Love Designer Series Paper (which I accidentally ordered 2 lots of - lol) and the saying comes from Petal Palette Stamp set
Next up is the one that Tom quite liked (yay go me!) I've teamed it up with some of the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to create the Bar table, and the circles (stamp) that are used in the middle of the "wine Bottles" above as the labels, have become the stains on the wood surface.

Ok so the last card for this post..... I just fell in love with the bubbles!, they made me think of my boy's bubble bath's, however slightly lacking in a bath stamp, so I've teamed it up with the Fruit Basket stamp set, in an effort to make it look like a washing up bowl (although thinking about it I'm not sure why I'd send a washing up bowl to someone for their birthday lol) but the bubbles are cute :)
Let me know which is your favourite? If you haven't got the new catalogues yet, let me know and I'll pop them in the mail to you/deliver them off.

I hope it 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). I saw the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack in the catalogue and thought they looked lovely, and yes they really are gorgeous! (link prob won't work till 7th) Anyway in the video I show off all the cards in the pack, and mention that I am doing share packs for various things in the new catalogue (Designer Paper, Ephemera Packs, Embellishments, Ribbons and this Memories & More) See more details at the end or send me a message. And here are the cards I made up using the Basic White Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes : This firs one uses one of the larger cards, a couple of stickers, the stamp set "simply said" for the saying and some of the pretty Riverside Irregular Pearls . Then this card is a small one, using the same stamp set "Simply Said" , a sticker and some more of the Riversid...

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...
