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, Guess what? it's that time of the week again for Something Saturday!😃 This week I happened to be scrolling through Facebook and came across this origami envelope quick video, so I have deciphered the video (you know how they do it and it's so fast!) And I've worked out if you do it with 12x12" cardstock you get an envelope worthy of a card, and a 6x6" piece gives you a gift card sized envelope. Here they are: then I'll try and explain how to make them...... This first one is made using one of the 12x12" pieces of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and this smaller one uses one of the 6x6" pieces of Full of Life Designer Series Paper Now, how to create these envelopes: take your square piece of designer cardstock, and fold in 1/2 diagonally Open it up and fold one side in to the middle: then fold as shown: open up the bottom flap and fold in the sides fold up the bottom tuck the point bit inside the envelope (you might want t...

Hi there Creators,
this post is a combined "Something Saturday" and Mega Class info.
It's that time of year again, when I do one of my mega classes😃
Details are:
Either by mail, or in person at Laanecoorie Town Hall,
Saturday 29th January from 10.30am till 3pm,
We'll be making 12 cards, and included in the cost are brand new products: 2 stamp sets, 1 punch, 1 set of stencils, 1/2 pack of bling, 1/4 reel of ribbon and more (and lunch). Cost $130 for In Person, $120 for "by mail"
I do need to have your place booked and paid for by 11th January, so I can order the products, and make sure it's all arrived in time and prepped ready for each one of you.
You will need to bring:
Glues (I will provide a sheet of Dimensionals for each person)
scissors (for intricate cutting)
Pin tool or tweezers (if you like to use them)
A Clear Block, "D" size is the best size, and will fit all the stamps
Also if you have them please bring:
Aqua Painter
Basic Gray or Black Stazon Ink pad
Stampin' Pad (firm spongy pad you put under your work when using photopolymer stamps)
A Stampin' Cleaner.
I will have spares of things, but do let me know what you'll need! If you are doing this "by Mail" you'll also need some ink colours (I've used Flirty Flamingo, Bumblebee, Pear Pizzazz, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Crumb Cake & Smoky Slate, but they can be interchanged for other colours)
Anyway on to the photos, there are a couple of "special cards" in the group, and not all of them made it into this photo, but it's a pretty good representation of the cards.
On to Something Saturday, and one of the cards that didn't make it into the above photo!
It's called a clear envelope shaker card.
It uses (funnily enough) clear medium envelopes, which you can buy as a pack of 50 for only $10.50! (should keep you going for a while lol)
you'll also need a base card, but cut so it's A4 in 1/2 lengthways then folded at 14.8cm, and trimmed down to 14cm. A piece of window sheeting 14cm x 11cm. You'll need something to decorate the base card, some shaker'y bits and I've punched out some small dragonflies as it fits with my theme.
Decorate the front of your base card I used the new Butterflies & Flowers layering decorative masks (so pretty!), NB: make sure your card is upside down - might seem weird but, really important!
If you plan to add punched shapes to the front of your card, attach them to the window sheeting then slide this inside the clear envelope.
Add your shaker'y bits (in my case I used some old dazzling diamonds glitter and new frosted bead assortment) I love the way the glitter coats the beads and makes them look pearly.
then seal it NB not with the envelope seal! Just use some clear plastic cellotape to make sure the glitter and beads won't come out.
Now use the envelope seal inside the top of your base card, then seal the whole of the base card together (see the video) this becomes the back of your card, and the clear envelope stiffened with the window sheeting is the front of your card.
Here's the video for you to check out:
Don't forget if you're interested in the class either in person or by mail. Book your place before 11th January!
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...
Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done) So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work? anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol) I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours. The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper ! I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...
Hi there Creators, Oh my goodness we're at the 1st March, where did the last 2 months go?! Thought I'd better hop on and let you know what we'll be making for our cards in March. Classes are Friday 7th at 1pm my classroom in Laanecoorie, and 10.30am in Maryborough, the Wattle City Church 19 Argyle Road. Class cost is $24 for 4 cards Ok moving onto the cards themselves...... there are new Online products and I couldn't resist using some of them to create these😃 This first card uses Thankful Garden Decorative Masks , You are Remarkable Stamp set and the Hole Punch Trio . then this second card uses the same You Are Remarkable Stamp set, and the rather gorgeous Botanical Textures Designer Series paper and now for the twist.... The other 2 cards are "surprise cards" You will get to pick the cards you make out of a selection😁 Don't forget to let me know if you're coming, and remember if you want to see the products I've used, click the link I...
