Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

-
Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Cards for June Classes

-

 Hi there Creators, 

here is my offering for my June Card classes - dates are Wednesday 7th at 10.30am Laanecoorie, Thursday 8th 7pm Laanecoorie, and Saturday 10th at 10.30am in Maryborough, If you plan to come, do let me know!  Also due to catalogue price rises as I announced at the last classes the class cost is now $24 for all 4 cards.

First Up is using the new Beautiful Balloons stamp set (such a fabulous set for anyone!)  And it does come as a bundle with the dies (which we use later anyway)And do you spy some of the new colours in this? Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist 😍

Beautiful Balloons, Stampin' Up!
Up next another one of the new Bundles, I especially like this one as I love punches especially useful circles! The Circle Sayings Bundle has a 2 3/8" circle punch, the 2" circle punch in the Online exclusives is a great fit for the middle! (do you spy more new colours?  Moody Mauve and Copper Clay)
Circle Sayings, Stampin' Up!
I couldn't resit using the fringing die from Beautiful Balloons Dies to create this flapper skirt type card, Also introducing the Timeless Arrangements Bundle....  Oh and not forgetting the gorgeous Naturally Gilded Designer Paper
Beautiful Balloons bundle, Timeless Arrangements Bundle, Stampin' Up!
last but not least, one of my all time favourite stamp sets: Biggest Wish, paired up with the Textured Shimmer Paper, and Banners Pick a Punch.
biggest wish stamps, banners pick a punch, Stampin' Up!

So there you have it all 4 cards, I hope you can make it to one of the classes, but if not I hope these inspire you to create!

God Bless love

 Hi there Creators, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan).

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...

GDP #261

 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...
