 Hi there Creators, Today I thought I'd show off the new Ephemera/ Mix & Match packs in the new Mini Sept to Dec Catalogue. Yay for Christmassy stuff! 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 ...

Petal Passion Suite

-
Hi!
Today I've been playing around with Petal Passion (quite possibly my favourite suite from the new Occasions catalogue), it has not only Petal Palette Stamp set, and Petals and More Thinlits, but it also has absolutely gorgeous Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (haven't used that much yet), Petal Pair Embossing folders, some pretty Petal Passion Embellishments, AND Petal Passion Memories and More Card Pack.  It doesn't come as a complete bundle, so you can pick and choose (but of course I ended up with it all lol)
However you're not here to hear me waffle on, so on to the cards!

I'll start off today with the Petal Passion Memories and More Pack this can make some beautiful cards (you could even use it for scrapbooking lol)
this first card uses one of the accent sheets, a small card and the heart sticker (with a touch of Clear Wink of Stella - I've used it as a paint brush, and picked up a bit of Blushing Bride colour from the lid of the ink pad)
Next Up:
again uses part of an accent sheet (smile), and also one of the acetate card overlays, I have found that to stick it down Tombow is the best. Isn't it pretty?!
Moving on..... this one uses one of the larger cards, cut down a little, and coloured in, again using the clear wink of stella, and picking up colour from the lids of the ink pads
 thought you might like a close up of the wink of stella that glistens on the cardstock.
Then the final card I made with the Petal Passion Memories and More Pack (for today), again uses one of the large cards trimmed down, then the frame comes from the Petals and More Thinlit dies, and the "Celebrate" comes from a completely different stamp set "Picture Perfect Birthday"
what do you reckon, could you fall in love with these Petal Passion cards too?  there's stickers in the pack as well... Oh the possibilities LOL.  I'll try and create a bit more with the Stamp set and dies before I do a post on those, so stay tuned :)

Oh, and if you're after value for money the above cards were all made with a kit that is only $17.50! how's that for value?  add some cardstock, maybe a stamp set and a punch or dies..........

I hope this inspires 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...
