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 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 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, 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...
