Something Saturday - Create Along

Image
 Hi there Creators Stampin' Up! had a Demonstrator only event the other day, and showed us how to create "one sheet wonders" from a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP). I got inspired and added a bit more into it, and you guys get to benefit from it 😃  I hope you do craft along with me in the video, but if you need a bit of extra help, I have a Create Along PDF for you (hopefully I can work out how to attach it!, let me know if it hasn't worked!)  List of what you need below photos. Photos below of the 2 sets of cards I ended up creating: Here is what I used for this first set of cards:  Kintsugi Inspirations   I used Stampin' Write Markers that will be retiring as they run out, but you could just as easily use the Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) just use Memento ink with them rather than Stazon! And these are the ones I created in the video, here is the link for all the goodies I used for these cards: Absolutely Charming  (how pretty is this paper)! ...

Inspired by Craft Room cleanup

Hi all you lovely Creators!

Well it's Boxing Day so I figured I could spend a couple of hours cleaning up my craft room in preparation for the new catalogues coming in January.
Ha ha!, so I started to clean my desk space, and came across all these bits of pre-cut stuff, from extras I've had after teaching a class, or experiments I was playing with.  Which then of course I had 2 choices; do something with them or chuck them in my "I'll get to that later box/ give it to someone else to do something with box".  This time I figured why not do something with it........ (yeah you can see how the cleaning up the craft room is going lol)

However it has given me something to share with you, and they're all really simple projects from left over stuff, that let's face it most people have (especially if you've been crafting for some time)
I've grouped them into categories (made slightly more than I'd anticipated, and still there's stuff left over!)

Ok so first category, Christmas, cos otherwise it'll sit there for another year!
I had some pre-cut circles, snowflakes, and some roughly cut pieces of the ultra cute Santa's Workshop Designer Series Paper, which sadly is sold out, but amazingly the Signs of Santa stamp set and dies are still available, if you want them make sure you order asap! I really liked the Merry Christmas from Mistletoe Season Stamp set to go with these quirky images

Then on to some pre-cut Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper, and Calypso Coral cardstock that I'd used in a class at some point....

And then a Birthday selection, this one combines some of the new goodies coming out on the 3rd January and some panels of Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper - just so you know, the reason this is "Specialty" paper is because it has an amazing pearly sheen to each sheet (on each side)  there's still some left, so again, if you want some get in quick, last day to order it will be 2nd Jan!

Moving on you might be relieved to know these are the last ones I created earlier😊. One more panel of the Frosted Floral DSP, as well as a long thin panel of Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (this one is special because of the Copper foiling - which you can't see on this sheet lol) and incredibly there's still some of this DSP left too, so if you want some get it quick!
the second card in the above picture uses one of the new hostess stamp sets, which i can't link to yet as it's not available till 3rd Jan, however it's called "Just Because", I'd already pre-stamped/coloured and cut it out, and had the piece of Calypso Coral already cut, and also the Copper foil scallop circle, so added a couple of leaves from the Christmas stamp set - Mistletoe Season, I think they go quite nicely with it!

I hope this inspires you to dig out your scraps and do something with them!
Happy Stampin'
God Bless love
