June Class Cards

Image
Hi there Creators Can't believe we're 1/2 way through the year!  June cards seem to focus on Designer Papers (it just happened that way 🤣)  however as I've been working out ways to show them off to their potential there are a couple of interesting folds we'll be doing,  Dates are Friday 6th June and Saturday 7th June.  Here goes....... Using the Beautiful Gallery Papers and a spot of pretty heat embossing then moving onto the Boho Vibes Designer Paper , and Round we Go Dies (continued from last year)  This next card uses the beautiful " Thoughtful Journey" Designer Series Paper, another carry over from last year, and I've pair it up with the Cheers & Sips Stamp set . Last but not least we have the Poppin' By Bundle used to create this cute card, also used the Textured Note Dies to create templates for masking the background. And that's it!  I hope you can join us, let me know if you plan to, if not I hope these give you inspiration to keep c...

And now for something completely different...

Hi Creators,
No it's not Monty Python lol, but I thought I'd show you something that I'd been planning to create for a while, then necessity got the best of me!

So my family seem to get through quite a few soft drink cans, and it's always seemed a bit of a waste for them all go to off to the recycling bin, and whilst I was trolling through Pinterest I discovered a few things that you can do with them, hence we started washing and saving them up.

So how do you take this:
and turn it into this?
What happened was that one of my husbands friends came over for the weekend and all of a sudden my recliner chair was commandeered lol (which I didn't begrudge) however I do like to put my feet up, so having been saving up the cans I figured I might have enough to have a go at the footstool.

Out with the hot glue gun, I'm sorry I don't have any photos of the in between stages, however this is how it goes....
  • Collect enough cans
  • hot glue them together
  • hot glue ribbon/strapping round them to keep them together
  • then glue a second layer of cans to the top of the first layer, strap them too I found it best to add the glue to the bottom of the individual cans then kind of drizzle it into the gaps.
  • add strapping round to tie together both layers
  • Add a layer of foam round the side, and one on top
  • create a cover for it!
  • Voila all done :)
these are the photos I did remember to take!



And that folks is what I got up to this last weekend (because you've got to have a craft project on the go and every so often actually finish it! lol)
I hope this inspires you to look at your recycling in a fresh new way lol
God Bless love
