  Hi there Creators My goodness over 1/2 way through January!, so I figured seeing as I've made them I'd best share my class cards for Feb.  Classes are Friday 7th at 1pm in my classroom Laanecoorie and Saturday 8th at 10.30am at Wattle City Church Argyle Road, Maryborough.  Class cost is $24 for 4 cards I thought we'd better make the most of the Sale-a-Bration goodies, so this is Heart Shaped Bundle (stamps & dies) that you can get for free with an order of $200, it is a pretty bundle!  I've teamed it up with the new Antique Pearls this next one uses the rather cool Linked Together Decorative Masks and also the saying from With You in Mind (I rather like nice large sayings for cards and this one has a few! Moving onto a new punch: To the Point Label Punch and matching stamp set Bright Borders And last but not least one of the new Hybrid embossing folders (this means it has dies that go with the embossing folder): Beautiful Butterflies (never would have gu...

Shop for Freedom 13th September

-
Hi there!

Coming up this Thursday evening from 7pm at Enjoy Church (10 Phillips Drive, Kangaroo Flat) is the Shop for Freedom night, ($5 entry) it's a great fun evening where you can purchase good quality "op shop" type items, be pampered, enjoy food and friendship, and also make some cards!! (that's where I come into it, in case you hadn't guessed!!)
The funds raised from the evening go directly to Collective 61 - an Enjoy Church initiative partnering with Organisations in Cambodia who fight against human trafficking.

Anyway as I mentioned I'm going to be doing a little stand where for a gold coin donation you can make a card, I thought I'd show you the cards I have planned, I was going to stick to one card, but of course sticking to one thing isn't really my style - lol

So card #1 uses the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and Cookie Cutter Builder Punch, also the Balloon Bouquet Punch and the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper, with a couple of the circle punches (bit of a punch card really!) The saying comes from the Soft Sayings Card Kit (gee this one has some great stamps in it, I often seem to go to it!)  It's a nice simple card, as I'm pretty sure there'll be a variety of people there some who will have never had a go at stamping before! (hopefully I can lure them in lol)
 Card #2 is this one:  Oh my goodness how fabulous is Santa on his scooter? lol again quite a simple card, purely uses "So Santa" stamp set, I've coloured mine in with Stampin' Blends, but I'll be offering either the Watercolour Pencils on the night or they can just stamp and take it home to colour it in.
I would have loved to offer more cards to make, but I don't think there would be the space.   Having said that coming up on Thursday 25th October I'll be doing an evening Card making fundraiser - same place, same cause, more cards! but more on that later (watch this space as they say!)

That's it for now, I hope these inspire you to create at home!
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...

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...

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...
