Hi there Creators Well.... I found this amazing card on Pinterest (as you do) and thought I've got to have a go at that! it's by Mixed Up Craft, and here's the link: Tricorn Style Fold Card in case you want to see it too, I made mine up from an A5 card as I really hate to waste cardstock by cutting it to inches!  So at some point I might do up a quick video just to convert it to A4 format for you! Anyway after doing up my draft I then proceeded onto my "proper card" and all was going well till I realised I'd scored it all wrong lol, however as I really don't like to waste cardstock I persevered on with it, and I really liked what I accidentally made, so I figured I'd share it with you, I'm pretty confident you won't find this anywhere else, and if you have a more inspiring name for it than my fancy fold mistake card, please let me know!  I was wondering about Fancy Fold Arrow card, what do you think? So after all this talking I'm su...

Hi there Creators, Coming up soon is the Picture to Page show at the Primary School in Kangaroo Flat 16th & 17th March.  Rosalie, Cindy and myself will be there again.  Once again we'll be offering classes throughout the weekend, so I thought I'd give you the heads up!  If you're part of my team and you want to learn what I'm teaching, let me know, and we'll organise a team gathering 😊 Anyway, what am I teaching?  Oh I'm so glad you asked lol I thought I'd teach 3 ways to watercolour, and here are the cards I'll be teaching:  My class cost is $20 with $10 redeemable against a $90 order (which will also qualify you for a FREE Sale-a-Bration item)  I will be teaching this on Saturday at 1-2pm and Sunday 2.30 -3.30pm Rosalie is going to be teaching this gorgeous little matching bag and Card (Rosalies' projects are always so neat and feminine) Rosalie is charging $15 for her class, and will be running it Saturday 11am-12noon, and Sunday 1-2p...

Hi Creators, I know I say it every month, but but wow another month almost gone!!  March is a busy month with Picture to Page show in Kangaroo Flat happening the weekend of 16th/17th March, click this link to find out more info .  Anyway on with the cards for March..... Class dates are: Saturday 2nd 10am Maryborough, Wednesday 6th 10.30am Laanecoorie, and Thursday 7.30pm Laanecoorie. First up, I was asked for a spot of watercolouring, and I figured this card would work for a male or female card. I've used the Well Said bundle that has heaps of words! (both dies and stamps) with a spot of watercolouring in the background. Incorporating a bit more watercolour this next card has gorgeous watercoloured butterflies And I just love, love, love! this stamp set Life is Grand, and the Butterfly Gala with the matching Butterfly Duet Punch are also fabulous! Next up I had to use some of the absolutely amazing Sale-a-Bration Grapefruit Grove or Lovely Lipstick foil cardsto...

Hi There Creators, thought I'd drop in and show you a few things I've been creating recently. After the class I had a few horse cards unfinished so one of them got turned into this, using some of  of the other stamps in the Let It Ride stamp set , to do this I've ended up cutting out more stencils, 2 for the single horse and one for the 2 background horses, so that I could stamp the trees into the background  I think it's kind of cool having the 2 galloping away in the foreground, what do you think?    There is a second wave of Sale-a-bration products available from tomorrow 15th Feb, and this card that I have made up as my "tag" card for the month uses some of them.  I've used the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folder, which is so pretty!  I've used Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive daubers to lightly daub over the raised pattern. For those of you receiving it I've left it white for you to add ...

Hi Creators, I was thinking about a gorgeous technique I've done before that uses white embossing on black cardstock then you use the aqua painter to add white craft ink to the design, allow it to dry a bit, then add colour over the top, (it's a little time consuming) and I was wondering if I could produce any other ways of colouring on Black card (I'm sure others have done this too, but I haven't noticed it).  So......enter the Watercolor Pencils , yep they're spelt missing the 'u' in the catalogue (it's an American thing!) although its really hard to spell color that way when you're so used to spelling it colour! lol However moving on if you're a regular reader of my blog you'll notice that in my class this month we're using this technique on this card: however I decided to make a video on it, and thought I'd use a different set, that doesn't have quite so much to colour in (keep the video shorter).  This next photo shows ...
