Something Saturday - Peekaboo Diagonal Cut Card

 Hi there Creators As I mention in the video I was having a bit of a nostalgic wander through my old catalogue (that retired on 6th May) and came across a page that had a couple of fun fold cards.  So here we are today, trying one of them out.....  Theirs is landscape, mine is portrait but the measurements would be pretty similar just having the fold of the card in a different place. Here is mine: as you can see it's kind of a card in a card.  I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite ,  although I confess I haven't used the stamps & dies in this particular card!  The suite has Stamps, dies, 2 embossing folders, bling, ribbon, and Designer paper, all for $138.25 which I think is pretty good! (and just think with the new rewards system, you'll then have $13.80 to spend on your next order - make sure you've opted in!) If you watched the video you'll know that I accidentally added glue to the wrong side of my designer paper, so I ended up making this card with ...

Party Puffins, Cards for June class

 Hi there Creators,  I thought for a change this month we'd do some kids cards, Sam (10)  has been to a couple of parties recently, and I've really enjoyed using this stamp set making up cards for them.  The Party Puffins are so cute! (I'm pretty sure they'd appeal to big kids too lol) So here we go..... Card 1:  I like doing fancy fold cards and they're always a winner with kids! Card 2:  Sparkly stuff!, also a winner with kids lol, I've used some of the Rainbow Glimmer Paper with this card, so pretty!, and as it's rainbow there's also a greeny/blue section which would work nicely for a boy! (and these sparkles don't get everywhere, bonus!)   Card #3 also uses a bit more of the sparkly Rainbow Glimmer Paper behind the vellum heart (some of the green this time!)  A spot of masking and you have a heap of small cute puffins! And the last card I thought would be fun to showcase the candles, if you coloured the candles in pinks I reckon it would ma...

Hydrangea Hill Cards for May

 Hi there Creators the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper is so beautiful that I thought I'd make it a feature of the cards for our May class, plus I've added in a couple of new items......😊(which will be available from 4th May, yay!) This first card uses some of the new Pale Papaya open weave ribbon (very pretty) and it's funny as when I first saw this colour I really didn't think much of it, but it's not as wishy washy as I thought it looked, it actually has a nice peachy tone to it.  Oh and the saying is from a new set too called "Elegantly Said" The second card is this one, again new goodies, I've used some of the Pale Papaya card behind the saying, then there's also new stamp set and punch: Flowers of Friendship Stamps and matching Flowers & Leaves Punch (I like punches!)  and lastly there's the new Linen Specialty Paper, this was an interesting one, I didn't realise it's sticky backed, I rather like the way it allows the pa...
