Hi there Creators, Well we're 1/2 way through the month already, and Wow I now have 2 separate card Classes sorted for September!  the first is our regular class, which is what this post is about, the other is the special Gingerbread Man & Sophisticated Alternative Cracker class (click the link to see, should open in a new window). Anyway back to our regular class for September, which will be on Friday 5th; 1pm in my classroom and Saturday 7th; 10.30am Maryborough Class cost $25 for the 4 cards. As we'll be 4 months out from Christmas, we'll be making one Christmas card at this class (2 in Oct, 3 in Nov, 4 in Dec) 😃  gotta work your way up to it! So, by popular demand I've created this little guy with the sliding "behind".   To see all the "ingredients" click here: Sausage Dog Slider Next up using new goodies is this elegant sympathy card, although it could easily be changed to other sentiments using the same Unbounded Love stamp set, the new P...

Happiness Surrounds Limited time Stamp set

-
Hi there,

Well I think I'm in love again!  I thought, I'll just make a card for a friend, who's birthday I managed to miss, and as this one's a limited time stamp set I wanted to make sure I used it, however as I have already packed a heap of inks etc for my class on Saturday, I was slightly limited with my choices, all I can say is OH WOW!  Happiness Surrounds Stamp set is one from the Limited time suite - Snowflake Showcase.  It is Limited, so only available while stocks last till the end of this month (November)  hence if you want to get it - get it now, don't delay!!  use this host code, and you might win the host benefits for the month: RJZEGMNQ

Ok so the first card I made is the one I'm sending my friend, here it is:
This involves just stamping the largest stamp (I used Pumpkin Pie) , then the medium stamp (I used Granny Apple Green), and the small flower, (I used Melon Mambo).  Next up the sentiment, and some Rhinestone Basic Jewels (diamante's), curve the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch, and layer up on a Bermuda Bay Card! Oh and daub round the edge.  How gorgeous is it?

After having made this one I'd packed the diamantes away, so I'll add them to these cards after Saturday I think, but I'm still so happy with the way they turned out, still on the Brights colours as they seem to be the ones I wasn't using this month lol, I had some pre-cut card stock lying around too.....
although if I hadn't had pre-cut card, I was thinking these stamps would make an amazing One Sheet Wonder.  (this is where you take a piece of A4 card, stamp it all over, then cut it up and make several cards from it), moving on.....
gee I love this design so much!, I've done the larger leaves by inking up with the Granny Apple Green and stamping off on scrap paper once, to get the more faded look
And the last card:
I felt a need to use the Gorgeous Grape, and Grapefruit Grove (however not too sure that they actually go together lol) but I still love the look of the card.

I hope these inspire you to create too, and don't forget if you do want this stamp set order it soon! Oh and by the way the Snowfall thinlit dies do cut out the images in this set too (they were packed!)

God Bless love

 Hi there Creators, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan).

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...
