 Hi there Creators Well today in the video I show off the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue (SAB for short).  For every $100 of goodies you purchase you can pick for free from the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue (Woo Hoo!💖)   There is another bonus with SAB  is that if you fancy joining Stampin' Up! there is a ripper of deal, (well actually there's 2 deals, one I think is better than the other) Deal 1 (in my humble opinion the better deal) you pick out $235 of goodies, and only pay $169, then on top of this you also pick out 2 of the Stampin' Write Marker Sets (Brights/Regals/Subtles or Neutrals) these are worth $62.50 each, for free PLUS you get an exclusive rather lovely stamp set worth $37 Deal 2: pick out $286 of goodies and only pay $169 Just ask me if you want more info, or you can check out my Stampin' Up! website here:  Join my Team Ok so onto the kit, it makes 6 cards (approx these ones), I say approx, because I accidentally put the wrong size dotty rainbow on 2...

And now for something different!

Hi There,

I saw a couple of videos done by Jennifer McGuire, where she's used dies to create borders on her cards, partial cutting using the bigshot, so I was inspired to give it a go.....  thought I'd share with you!
This was my initial go, have to admit it was a little tricky to cut out the excess bits, I've used the beautiful dies from Flourish thinlits, which considering you get 10 beautiful dies is remarkably good value at $49!
then I tried out the flowers in the same Flourish thinlits, and made it into a card;
Couldn't resist adding the Glitter Enamel Dots in the centre of the flowers (they're so pretty!)

then moving on...... (I had some Old Olive cardstock cut to the right size, hence all the green lol)
I've gone back to the big die in the set to create the top border, and the scalloped line at the top was the pink cut out on the previous card (good to use up the proverbial scraps)  considered the fact that I've not used the pink's washi tape for some time, so Basics pack 1 was brought into action, managed to use all bar 1 of them! (go me!!)  Oh and of course the Celebrate is from the Celebrate You thinlit dies (currently a Sale-a-Bration item, purchase $180 and you can choose them for FREE! Yay)

Ok well the last card (save the best for last) is the first piece actually made up into a card, drum roll........
Da, Da..... lol, I think it turned out really well, again I've incorporated the Celebrate You thinlits, but then I had to find something for the side, and I found it in the Seasonal Layers thinlit dies, there's a nice scallop, which I've cut 3 times to get the layers.   (can't say layers with out hearing Shrek and Donkey, Oh the joys of children lol)  Just looking at the value of the set again, you get 17 dies in the Seasonal Layers Thinlits and it's only $56! that's only $3.30 per die!, and there's really only one die that you'd probably want to have the stamp to (let me know if you work out which die it is!)  Oh my goodness I'm feeling inspired to go and play with it now lol......

Ok well I hope these inspire you to dig out your dies and have a play (perhaps purchase something from me....... 😀)
Better go while ideas are still floating around in my head lol

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...

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...

Hi there Creators, I have worked out our class cards for May now woo hoo!   Class dates are:  Tuesday 7th at 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 9th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 11th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  Class cost is $24 for 4 cards with envelopes.  It's important to book your place if you're coming to Laanecoorie as space is limited. Here are the cards we'll be creating: Using the beautiful Unbounded Love Bundle and Layers of Beauty (I've only used the stamp set here, but Oh My Goodness the bundle is so worth it!), also showcasing some of the new colours: Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie (guess which is which 🤣) Then back in time a little as this was in the mini catalogue (if you want it, buy it now before the end of the month while it's still a bundle price with 10% off it!)  Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (stamps & dies)  again showcasing one of the "new" colours, although Pretty in Pink is actually an old colour with a come-back! Moving onto t...
