Hi there Creators, Well we're 1/2 way through the month already, and Wow I now have 2 separate card Classes sorted for September! the first is our regular class, which is what this post is about, the other is the special Gingerbread Man & Sophisticated Alternative Cracker class (click the link to see, should open in a new window). Anyway back to our regular class for September, which will be on Friday 5th; 1pm in my classroom and Saturday 7th; 10.30am Maryborough Class cost $25 for the 4 cards. As we'll be 4 months out from Christmas, we'll be making one Christmas card at this class (2 in Oct, 3 in Nov, 4 in Dec) 😃 gotta work your way up to it! So, by popular demand I've created this little guy with the sliding "behind". To see all the "ingredients" click here: Sausage Dog Slider Next up using new goodies is this elegant sympathy card, although it could easily be changed to other sentiments using the same Unbounded Love stamp set, the new P...

Hi There Creators
Well I have to say this box stumped me initially, (probably because I didn't read the name right) - it's all in the name "Gift Card", so I was wondering what the heck the insert bit was for 🤣 Now I know! check them out here: Scalloped Gift Card Box
Anyway in my video today I decorate it up for a Father's Day gift (shhh don't tell Tom) I'm pretty sure I'm safe as Father's day is tomorrow and he's unlikely to watch my video or read my blog 🤣 (now just to make sure he doesn't look over my shoulder as I type this up.....)
So this is a really cute little box, obviously designed to hold a gift card, it slips into the insert nicely (who'd have thought?!) with just a few pieces of cut Designer paper and a stamp or two you can make it look really good. As you can see I had to add a bit of bling, so I chose the More Dazzle specialty paper to go as the top base layer. Then the Designer paper I chose is the Let's Go Fishing that I thought Tom would appreciate, (he does enjoy a spot of fishing every so often) (check them out with the links)
And on the inside I thought I'd better add his "other love" Motorbikes, so these are from the Legendary Ride Stamp set
I did mention in the video that I would pop the layer measurements down here for you, so here goes.....
Bottom Layer
Top and bottom of box: 4" x 2 3/4"
Long Sides: 4" x 7/8"
Short Sides 2 3/4" x 7/8"
Top Layer
Top & Bottom of box: 3 3/4" x 2 1/2"
Long Side: 3 3/4" x 5/8"
Short Side 2 1/2" x 5/8"
It does say with the box that the scallop can be tucked in if you want to, although I didn't find it wanted to tuck in well, having said that I'd rather just wrap a bit of ribbon round it and tie it up, which is what I'll do. I reckon for $1.23 per box it's a rather nice way to display a gift card and make it a bit more special than just an envelope (and you get 10 in the box, ideal for Birthdays and Christmas 😉)
If you missed the video here it is:
I hope this inspires you to do something special with your gift cards.
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). I saw the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack in the catalogue and thought they looked lovely, and yes they really are gorgeous! (link prob won't work till 7th) Anyway in the video I show off all the cards in the pack, and mention that I am doing share packs for various things in the new catalogue (Designer Paper, Ephemera Packs, Embellishments, Ribbons and this Memories & More) See more details at the end or send me a message. And here are the cards I made up using the Basic White Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes : This firs one uses one of the larger cards, a couple of stickers, the stamp set "simply said" for the saying and some of the pretty Riverside Irregular Pearls . Then this card is a small one, using the same stamp set "Simply Said" , a sticker and some more of the Riversid...
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 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...
