Hi there Creators, Today I thought I'd show you something I saw at the Picture to Page show recently, the fold kind of fascinated me, so I went home and mocked up a practice one (and after several attempts with scrap paper finally got it worked out!) A4 style 😁 I decided to use the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper partly because I keep forgetting to use it, and I do love the gold foiling in it. I ended up using Peach Pie A4 Card and B lueberry Bushel A4 to create the base cards with, then used the Nested Essentials Dies (so glad I bought these as they're incredibly useful), and Simply Said stamp set , which is my "go to" set, when I don't know what else to use🤣. Here are the finished cards: and just a few more photos to show you the back, side and bottom.... So to create.... The peach card (portrait) take a piece of A4 cut in 1/2 lengthways, and score in 1/2 at 14.8cm, from the 1/2 way point across the top fold of the card score down...

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?
Ok moving on.... actually lets not move on too much as I also made up another card with the same stamp set, slightly ironic as the main reason I went ahead and got the set is for the Pine cone and I haven't used it yet! I wasn't sure I'd like the flowers so much, but I really do! this card I took the flowers and stamped them on the card, then stamped them a couple more times on scrap card, and cut out the bits to create a Paper Tole type image, layered up with dimensionals. The saying are from the beautiful Dear Doily Stamp set (more about that too in a mo!)
thought I'd show you a close up of the flowers (because I can lol)
Then we'll flow onto the Dear Doily stamp set.....which conveniently comes as a bundle too. And Oh My Goodness! it is awesome! however I don't have anything with the dies to show you just yet, as all I've done is cut them out in white card and ooh and Aah over them lol, but I did make up this simple card with the stamps, as it's so delicate I was looking around for a ribbon to go with it and thought this one was perfect - it's the Whisper White 5/8" flax ribbon, although it's chunky it has the right amount of delicacy for this card, I think it's the slightly see through nature of the ribbon. Colours I've used with this are Balmy Blue, Mint Macaron and Petal Pink, which has a slightly coral/orange'y hue to it.
Well I think that's it for now, do let me know if you have any questions, or you're interested in placing an order but unsure how. Don't forget for every $90 you order till the end of March you get to pick a free Sale-a-Bration product YAY!
Thanks for reading this, and if you're not on my e-mailing list and would like to be, do let me know!
Happy Creating

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 your own colour to it. The tag itself is made using the beautiful stamps in the Painted Season Bundle, and also the really useful Rectangle Stitched Framelit dies (have you noticed them? they're on page 28 in the catalogue) and I've just realised that they bundle together with the Amazing Life Stamp set!
always good when things bundle and you get 10% off!
I also thought I'd show you the "one sheet wonder" type sheet I created to cut the stamped tags from, as it really lends itself to a one sheet wonder this stamp set! I stamped up the whole A4 sheet (and I have some left over, so I'm planning to see how many cards I can make out of it!) aren't the flowers so pretty though?Ok moving on.... actually lets not move on too much as I also made up another card with the same stamp set, slightly ironic as the main reason I went ahead and got the set is for the Pine cone and I haven't used it yet!

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...
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...

Classes are Friday 7th at 1pm my classroom in Laanecoorie, and 10.30am in Maryborough, the Wattle City Church 19 Argyle Road. Class cost is $24 for 4 cards Ok moving onto the cards themselves...... there are new Online products and I couldn't resist using some of them to create these😃 This first card uses Thankful Garden Decorative Masks , You are Remarkable Stamp set and the Hole Punch Trio . then this second card uses the same You Are Remarkable Stamp set, and the rather gorgeous Botanical Textures Designer Series paper and now for the twist.... The other 2 cards are "surprise cards" You will get to pick the cards you make out of a selection😁 Don't forget to let me know if you're coming, and remember if you want to see the products I've used, click the link I...
