February 2025 Class Cards

Image
  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...

Something Saturday - Cool Christmas Bauble

 Hi there Creators, 

So in the run up to Christmas I thought I should show you this bauble I came across the other day in YouTube "Elena's Craft Studio - How to make a Christmas ball from toilet roll".  I'm upping the ante and going with Designer Paper, rather than toilet roll🤣

Anyway photos are always way more exciting than me waffling on (and they do say a picture says a thousand words)

 Oh wow 2000 words already done!🤣

The first one I made with retired cardstock, just to try it out, I'm pretty sure in her video she used 13cm x 1cm strips, but I didn't see the harm in using 14.8cm x 1cm (as then it's 1/2 A4 length)  however turns out you need more strips if you make it larger!  ha, who knew?  anyway I still like the look and you get 8 petals instead of 6, so the one I show in the video I made up using the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper, I scaled it down to the 13cm long, and end up with 6 petal shapes. I love the different designs on the outside and inside, I'll show you a couple more photos....

It's actually fairly simple to make these once you get going.

If you're doing the smaller one you'd need 15 strips cut to 13cm x 1cm. 

12 of these need to be curled round and stuck to create the shape they put cancer awareness & other ribbons into (I googled what the shape is called but no joy).  Then you take 6 of them, pinch the middle bow bit to a point and attach all the points together (I used Glue dots, as I'm a bit scared of my hot glue gun - don't like getting burnt). Next you attach the little ends together (see the video)  Then repeat the process with the other 6.  Then attach both halves together (again see the video), and.......

2 are for the band around the middle and the last one is for the little hanging thingo at the top.

Right, so, clear as mud?  if you missed the video here it is;


I hope this inspires you to create, let me know if you have a go!

God Bless love
