Thankyou for joining me today, I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, since 2008. My blog will show you how to make cards and projects using Stampin' Up!'s fabulous products. And occasionally random extra stuff (that's the way I roll 🤣) Please do sign up to receive my emails, so you get my latest info.
Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣) if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling. Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it: I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action. Its not a bad littl...

Hi there Creators,
well this morning I did my Facebook live and thought I might share what I made with you, hopefully by the time I've finished the write up the video will be uploaded to YouTube and I can add it to here too!
Anyway I started off my video showing how I cut and score my cardstock to create my base cards, actually I score it, then cut it, as it cuts down on one step (no pun intended) So I score the card all the way down the sheet at 10.5cm, and if I need to do a few I'll get the lot scored first, then move onto my cutter, and the 1/2 way mark for A4 paper is 14.8cm, I know my trusty Paper Trimmer will cut at least 2 pieces of card in one go, so that makes it a bit quicker too.
Anyway onto the cards, I've cut my Designer Series Paper to 5 3/4" x 4" the piece of plain card for the top part is 1cm less all round, so cut to 13.8cm x 9.5cm. I have used the Sale-a-Bration Flower & Field Designer Series Paper which is only available when you purchase $90 of goodies from the catalogues, then you can choose it for free! That's right, during Sale-a-Bration you get rewarded for orders of $90+, Bonus!!
I took the white card and made 2 diagonal cuts in it, the middle one is for one card and the other 2 pieces go on the other card. As you can see I've taken more of the pretty "Flower & Field Designer Series Paper" and fussy cut some of the images, they don't have to be complete images as you can "hide" the lost bits under others. I have used the lovely stamp set from Hello Dear Friend All inclusive card kit as I really like the writing, and I thought the flower and leaves really suited this paper well.
The Blue flower in the photo below is missing the left and bottom of the image, but it's covered well with the other flowers so you wouldn't know!
And on this one the 2 pink flowers are missing 1/2 of their image!
How cute is this little flower from the Hello Dear friend All inclusive Card kit and doesn't it suit this paper so well? I've also used one of the Opal Rounds embellishments (as this card had a smudge I needed to cover!)
Oh and look at that, the video has managed to upload to YouTube, so I'll attach that too. yay!
Ok well I hope this inspires you to have a go and dig out your beautiful flowery papers! Of course if you want this paper to do this with, all you need to do is order $90 of goodies and choose it for free (it's only available till end of Feb, so you need to get in quick!)
Hi there Creators, thought I'd join in this Sale-a-Bration Blog hop today, and I'm excited to see what others have created using the upcoming Sale-a-bration SAB products. For those un-initiated SAB is a special time of year where we have 2 months of FREE Products *YAY*: When you purchase $90 of products you get to pick a free product from the SAB offering, this year is the first year we're going to have 2 SAB's in a year there's another one coming in July too (it'll be different products) *DOUBLE YAY* lol Anyway there were a couple of products that I have to admit I wasn't so keen on, but at the time I was ordering it was a case of pick the stamp set I didn't have as others weren't available, then lots of people seemed to be raving about the Designer Series Paper that I ended up using (again I wasn't so keen on it) However I have a thing about not being beaten by a stamp set, so I was determined to make something of it (especially as I can...
Hi there Creators, I have worked out our class cards for May now woo hoo! Class dates are: Tuesday 7th at 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 9th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 11th at 10.30am in Maryborough. Class cost is $24 for 4 cards with envelopes. It's important to book your place if you're coming to Laanecoorie as space is limited. Here are the cards we'll be creating: Using the beautiful Unbounded Love Bundle and Layers of Beauty (I've only used the stamp set here, but Oh My Goodness the bundle is so worth it!), also showcasing some of the new colours: Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie (guess which is which 🤣) Then back in time a little as this was in the mini catalogue (if you want it, buy it now before the end of the month while it's still a bundle price with 10% off it!) Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (stamps & dies) again showcasing one of the "new" colours, although Pretty in Pink is actually an old colour with a come-back! Moving onto t...
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...
