Class Cards for August

Hi there Creators
my goodness we're almost into August already!  how did that happen?!
Classes next month start this Saturday, 3rd at 10am in Maryborough, then Wednesday 7th at 10.30am in Laanecoorie and Thursday 8th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie.

So where's the cards Heather?? lol
First up..... I'm so pleased with the way this card turned out, you'd think the background pattern is a Designer Series Paper wouldn't you?,  but No! it's stamped using the Verdant Garden Stamp set, lined up (quite easily) on the Stamparatus  (how cool!!)  I do love green colours

Next up is this card, Ive been so keen to use this new stamp set and dies Tasteful Textures Stamp set, although the dies don't feature on this card (just wait a mo) I do love the fact the saying just fits into the Pretty Label Punch and oh my goodness the ribbon is so beautiful!! it's called Rococo Rose gathered ribbon.  I also think the Detailed trio punch works beautifully with this stamp in the corner, - also used for the ribbon holes.

Card #3,  uses the dies to match the above stamp set Tasteful Background Dies (see told you I'd get them in here!) lol  Also uses the Wish for it All stamp set, and the Daisy Punch and Medium Daisy Punch (love these 2 together)  Oh and not forgetting the Sprig punch for the leaves!

And last but not least, as it's Fathers day next month I thought I should add a "male card"  so grabbed out my "male'ish" stamp sets.... Geared Up Garage, and Sailing Home  I didn't add a saying so that people can decide what they want to add themselves.  Not sure if the lighthouse might need a little bit of colour, so it may have changed slightly before Saturday lol  Also used the fabulous Stitched Rectangle Dies, and some of the Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Bakers Twine Oh and a spot of brayering in the background!

Look forward to seeing whoever can make it!  I'm going to aim to bring some of my scrap bits on Saturday to have a bit of a "Stampin' Up! Jam" after as Ben is working till 3pm so I'll be hanging around till then!  So if you're free and fancy hanging around too, bring some blank card bases and use up some of my scraps!
God Bless love

Tag Card for July

Hello all you lovely Creators!
Sorry I haven't been around much, this is what holidays do lol. 
Coming up this Saturday is my Christmas in July Mega Class, I have 10 coming to it, and it should be so much fun I'm really looking forward to it, we're making 20 Christmas cards. I'll show you a little snippet...

 Anyway that's not what I'm here for today, I'm here to show you how to put together your "tag" card, the tag is what I send you/ give you on your bag when you receive your order, then I pop in some other bits to make it into a card.
So..... here is the tag you'll be receiving:

And here is the end card

The tag is cut out of the card to begin with, and the Stitched Rectangle Dies are fabulous in that they give you the stitched look on the outside and the inside (gotta love that) and there's heaps of them in the pack - well 13 seems like heaps! lol
Anyway moving on... I have then stuck in another sheet of white behind the gap (you could use a different colour if you wanted to, I'm providing white)  I've used the Wish for it all stamp set to create the tag (so pretty) with some of the Whisper White Polka Dot tulle ribbon in the corner to hold it onto your bag (makes a nice accent on the card too) And of course the 2 daisy punches, The larger "Daisy Punch" and the smaller "Medium Daisy Punch" these will be random pink colours, layer them up.  Then in the middle I've used one of the gorgeous Gold Faceted Gems or you might end up with a Silver Faceted gem!  then the whole lot is up on dimensionals which gives it a nice shadow effect.
And that's how you put together your tag card for July (of course if you haven't ordered from me this month you'll miss out on one of these!) but the good news is that we're only 1/2 way through the month, so you've still got time 😊
Ok well that's it from me for now, I hope this inspires you to create (and possibly order lol)
God Bless love
