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

Cards for March

-
Hi There,
Oh my goodness we're almost in March!  So here are the cards I'll be teaching in my 4 card classes first one is on this coming Saturday, in Maryborough at 10am, then the other 2 classes are on the 14th, at 10.30am and 7.30pm in my Classroom in Laanecoorie. Do let me know if you plan to come :)

Ok first card off the rank!  I've decided to use a doily (trust me this is really rare lol)  and also the ultra cool Brusho powders (so much fun)  I made up 2 just to make sure I could do it (and because it was fun, and it shows other colours......)  Also used the Perennial Birthday stamp set.
Moving onto card #2: I'm pretty sure I've blogged this card before, but Oh my goodness aren't the Party Pandas just so darn cute?  The Party Pandas are a Sale-a-bration set, so when you order $90+ you can pick this set for FREE!  this is only available till the end of March, so get in quick!  I've also used the fabulous Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper to create the balloon and the Starburst punch behind the pandas, with a touch of the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper on the side.
 Where are we up to? oh #3 :) this could be my favourite card!  I just love the elegance, and intricacy of this stamp.  Again this is a Sale-a-Bration stamp Heartfelt Blooms , so Purchase $90+ of goodies and you could choose to have this stamp set for FREE! I've teamed it up with the lovely Vanilla and Gold, Gold Edge Metallic Ribbon.
Ok last but not least:  I really wanted to use these bottles as I think they're perfect for a mans card, and lets face it men's cards are not so easy to come by!  This uses the Bubble Over Photopolymer bundle,  It took a while to work out this card, but I'm happy with it and hubby reckoned it was ok! I have also used the Celebrate You thinlit dies (or at least one of them!) This is also a Sale-a-Bration item, when you purchase $180+ you can choose these dies for FREE!  (or you can wait till the new Annual Catalogue and purchase them then!)
Do let me know what you think of the cards, and if you plan to come to any of these classes.  The fee for the class is $15, you receive instructions and envelopes with your cards.

God Bless love

Crafty Collaborations Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

    Hi there Creators, thought I'd join in this Sale-a-Bration Blog hop today, and I'm excited to see what others have created using the upcoming Sale-a-bration SAB products.  For those un-initiated  SAB is a special time of year where we have 2 months of FREE Products *YAY*: When you purchase $90 of products you get to pick a free product from the SAB offering, this year is the first year we're going to have 2 SAB's in a year there's another one coming in July too (it'll be different products) *DOUBLE YAY* lol Anyway there were a couple of products that I have to admit I wasn't so keen on, but at the time I was ordering it was a case of pick the stamp set I didn't have as others weren't available, then lots of people seemed to be raving about the Designer Series Paper that I ended up using (again I wasn't so keen on it)  However I have a thing about not being beaten by a stamp set, so I was determined to make something of it (especially as I can

Celebration of Tags

 Hi there Creators, I've been waiting ages, but finally this stamp set has arrived and it's every bit as cute as I expected it to be! So of course I had to play with it....... First up I stamped all the images using Black Stazon (they come in strips of 3 to match the dies) and cut them out with the big joined together die.  Then got to work creating cards with them, I ended up with 5 cards in the end, Oh and I've just realised I forgot to take photos of the insides, bother! This first one didn't get anything on the inside, I stamped the tag up, then debated what I could do to lessen the impact of the white card, and came up with the idea of inking the little label then stamping it a few times without reinking, and repeating till the card was covered sufficiently.  I'm quite pleased with the effect I got!   This second card is such a fun kid card, you might recognise it from my previous post on Global Design Project #264.  I've tied the ribbon at the end, then th

What's New?

  Hi there Creators,  Today I'm joining a Crafty Collaborations hop, this is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all round the world, cool eh?   This particular blog hop is What's New? and open to our own interpretation. Sitting out in my craft room I spied the True Love Designer Series Paper that arrived a few days ago, and decided on a spot of colouring in therapy, and the cards started from there..... This Designer Series Paper is black and white, and has some great images to cut out (if you don't mind a bit of fussy cutting) The first card I made with the paper was this one, I've cut the flowers out from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper, and used Stampin' Blends to colour them in. With this first card I've also used one of the Gold Hoop embellishments which I haven't used before too, I have to say the metal ring is really quite sturdy you can see the Gold Hoop a little more clearly with this photo, I've used a bit of the Gorgeou
