Something Saturday - Brightest Birthday Kit

-
Image
  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it:  I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action.  Its not a bad littl...

Botanical Tag Thinlits

-
Hi There,
One of my "must have" items from the annual catalogue I now have!  funny isn't it how you keep putting off and putting off getting something then finally bite the bullet and go for it!
I'm certainly not regretting this buy!

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll have seen an appearance of these dies back on the 31st August in my Interactive class for September blog
However after that I had a bit more of a play with some of the bits I didn't use much the first time round, and I'm hooked! lol
Let me show you. Da, Da......The Botanical Tag Thinlit Dies........


 how pretty is this rose?, I've teamed it up with Floral Phrases stamp set, and I think it works well :) I've also used the die cut piece to form a mask that I used on the background piece.

Next up I wanted to use the birds again, and I hadn't used the branch leaves in the other work I did....

again teamed up with the same stamp set Floral Phrases, just a very simple card, I love the delicacy of it.
And last but not least (possibly my favourite of the 3)


again I've used the leaves, this time to form a wreath round Santa with his Pineapple Drink and board shorts gotta love him! He and his saying comes from So Santa Stamp set, which was instantly on my list of Must Haves as soon as I saw it, go and check out the other stamps in it!  I've used a few of the Red Rhinestones around the wreath too, gives a spot of bling :)  Those who know me, know I'm not keen on being cold, so the saying works really well for me lol.

I hope you have enjoyed these cards, and it has inspired you to create at home, do click on any of the links to check out the products, and if you are purchasing, do add in the current hostess code: G43WBCJC for your chance to be in the draw for the free host rewards at the end of the month.  And check out the specials Stampin' Up! and I have for you when you order in the "Special's Happening" tab above.

God Bless love

    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...

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...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 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...
