Something Saturday - Brightest Birthday Kit

-
Image
  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...

Cards for August classes

-

 Hi there Creators,

Well isn't August sneaking up on us fast!  We're back to our usual 3 classes in August: Wed 3rd at 10.30am (Laanecoorie), Thursday 4th 7pm (Laanecoorie) and Saturday 6th 10.30am (Maryborough). $20 for the 4 cards - You need to book for Laanecoorie, Maryborough you can just turn up, (although it's nice for me to know approx numbers)

I hope you can come and join us (more the merrier!)

Anyway on to the cards for the month......

First up I'm using the fabulous Wonderful World (we only have till the end of August to use it, so I thought I'd better!)  It's a Sale-a-Bration set, and combined with the designer papers you need to spend $180 to get both the stamps and papers for free (no other way to get them 😢)  Combined with the Decorative Circle Punch, and the gorgeous Sequins & Gems (that seriously look all like gems rather than sequins! - so pretty!)

Wonderful World, Stampin' Up!
Moving on to more "prettiness" if that's a word - if not I'm going with it anyway lol.

This one uses the Splendid Day Specialty papers, and the scrolled back technique, with flowers from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set, cut out with the flowers & leaves punch

splendid day papers, flowers of friendship, Stampin' Up!
These next 2 are an either/or, this stamp set North Pole Mischief cracked me up when I saw it, and having cats and a dog in the family, it felt so appropriate!  I've used the Stitched Greenery Die in the background.
 
 
North Pole Mischief, Stampin' Up!

And last but not least, I'm still in love with this Snow Crystal stamp!  I've embossed it in black (gotta go the black ice 😉) then used the blending brushes to brush colour over it.  It really is a stunning stamp!
Snow Crystal, Stampin' Up!

And that's it!  if you can't join us I do hope this inspires you to create.
Don't forget Sale-a-Bration is still on till end of August, so if you spend $90+ you get a free SAB product, or if you host a party, and the orders are $500+ you get the Perfect Pomegranate Stamp set for free, or you can join with the amazing choose $235 of goodies and only pay $169 plus you'll receive the beautiful Making Plans Collection (Planner/Notebook and stamp set)
 
God Bless love

Crafty Collaborations Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

    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...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 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...
