Hi there Creators My goodness over 1/2 way through January!, so I figured seeing as I've made them I'd best share my class cards for Feb. Classes are Friday 7th at 1pm in my classroom Laanecoorie and Saturday 8th at 10.30am at Wattle City Church Argyle Road, Maryborough. Class cost is $24 for 4 cards I thought we'd better make the most of the Sale-a-Bration goodies, so this is Heart Shaped Bundle (stamps & dies) that you can get for free with an order of $200, it is a pretty bundle! I've teamed it up with the new Antique Pearls this next one uses the rather cool Linked Together Decorative Masks and also the saying from With You in Mind (I rather like nice large sayings for cards and this one has a few! Moving onto a new punch: To the Point Label Punch and matching stamp set Bright Borders And last but not least one of the new Hybrid embossing folders (this means it has dies that go with the embossing folder): Beautiful Butterflies (never would have gu...

Hi there Creators
Well this isn't exactly my "Something Saturday" as it will be aired a little sooner thanks to Craft Alive Bendigo. So if you're joining me for the first time from Craft Alive or GICS, Welcome!, and welcome back anyone who's been here before, I'm so thrilled you choose to see my blog posts and videos 😊
In my video this week I have gone through the Eden's Garden Collection of products and the Suite Sensation I currently have on offer (if you want to see the info about that, click here: Eden's Garden Suite Sensation Blog Post.
Today's post is about the card I make in the video using the cotton paper, I'll admit that I wasn't 100% sure how to use it to begin with, so I googled and pinterest'd it and found a video by Wow Nola Creations, using the paper as a special textured background so I had a go, and changed it slightly, and voila:
Funnily enough the shabby chic thing doesn't usually do much for me, but I think that's how this turned out, and I'm quite happy with it
So, how did I make it?
First off I cut a piece the light cotton paper (it comes in 2 colours Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen) I measured it out to be 6" by around 10.5cm. then I cut a piece of coordinating cardstock approx 1cm shorter on each side (I had Mint Macaron.)
I stamped on the cotton paper (on the non-shiny side) to give it an interesting background (I used the co-ordinating Eden's Garden Stamps) then scrunched it up, flattened it out a bit and stuck the mint mac card to the shiny side. The cotton paper was deliberately larger than the cardstock so that the edges could be slightly ragged looking., I've then added a line of the darker cotton paper (shiny side up)
Now to make the flowers, I've taken a peice of the light cotton paper 6" x 1" and cut diagonally, so you end up with 2 long triangles. I then coloured them by daubing on Poppy Parade. I then added a line of tear & tape adhesive to the bottom of each and rolled them up to form the 2 flowers.
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, Today I'm joining a Crafty Collaborations hop, this is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all round the world, cool eh? This particular blog hop is What's New? and open to our own interpretation. Sitting out in my craft room I spied the True Love Designer Series Paper that arrived a few days ago, and decided on a spot of colouring in therapy, and the cards started from there..... This Designer Series Paper is black and white, and has some great images to cut out (if you don't mind a bit of fussy cutting) The first card I made with the paper was this one, I've cut the flowers out from one of the sheets of Designer Series Paper, and used Stampin' Blends to colour them in. With this first card I've also used one of the Gold Hoop embellishments which I haven't used before too, I have to say the metal ring is really quite sturdy you can see the Gold Hoop a little more clearly with this photo, I've used a bit of the Gorgeou...
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...
