Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

-
Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Cards for February Classes

-
Hi there Creators,
Almost February, so thought I'd best show you what we're going to be making at the classes on Saturday 2nd 10am in Maryborough, Tuesday 5th at 7.30pm in Laanecoorie (my classroom) and Wednesday 6th 10.30am in Laanecoorie (my classroom)

They all use some of the new goodies from the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalogues.
First up: this card uses the Forever Lovely stamp set and matching Lovely Flowers Edgelits, and the Pretty Label Punch
Card 2 uses the Let it Ride stamp set, combined with the Stamparatus for ease of stamping my sister and daughter are both into horses so I really felt this was a must have set for cards for them!, and as so many people around this rural area have horses I also thought it was a fairly safe bet to do a horse card, I think just about everyone I know, knows someone who has a horse!
 
Card #3 uses the beautiful Lovely Lattice Sale-a-Bration stamp set, remember when you purchase $90 of goodies you can get this set for FREE!! the saying comes from Well Said Stamp set.
I love the way the watercolour pencils will colour on the black cardstock, makes the image pop out don't you think?
Last card I thought we'd better do a valentines card for those who'll need it, although I will have a Happy Birthday to fit for the saying just in case!
  So this one uses the Geared Up Garage Stamp set and Garage Gears thinlits, along with the Corrugated Embossing folder, which has made it onwards from the Holiday Catalogue!
 I thought it kind of looks like a roller garage door using the corrugated embossing folder.
So that's our line up for the cards we'll be making in February, do let me know if you'd like to come and join in any of the classes, and if you don't have the new Occasions or Sale-a-Bration Catalogues and would like them, do let me know, and I'll get them to you.

Hope these inspire you to create! let me know which is your favourite
Happy Stampin'
God Bless love

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...

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...
