Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think.... I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!)   Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍 I also said in the video I&

Class Cards for April

-

 Hi There Creators,

I'm getting organised with my class cards for April, as my calendar is looking pretty chock-a-block for the rest of the month!

As the new catalogue comes out in May, this could be the last time we play with some of these (excitingly I'm off to Melbourne on Thursday for the weekend for the Stampin' Up! OnStage event, where we're hoping to get the new catalogue to peruse)

Anyway to the cards, this first one is fun with swiveling circles, I do love the Hey Chuck stamp set, always makes me smile!

Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck
Next up is a Men's card using the Trusty Tools Bundle and the Metal Plate 3D embossing folder

Some of the new goodies.... A little Latte Designer Series Papers paired up with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch and the new Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins. Oh and the saying is from Trucking Along Stamp set
Stampin' Up! A little latte DSP, Heartfelt Hexagon Punch
And lastly this technique I learnt the other day, and honestly thought I'd uploaded the video for a something Saturday - oopsie, just discovered I didn't upload it, well there you go, it's an upcoming video - bonus!!🤣 Anyway this card uses the gorgeous Layered Florals 3D embossing folder and the equally gorgeous Forever Love Designer Series paper, Oh and the Charming Silhouettes Stamp set with matching Sentiment Silhouettes dies (which I usually forget to use!)
Stampin' Up! Layered Florals 3D embossing Folder

So there you have it the cards for April Classes, which incidentally are on Tuesday 2nd at 1.30pm, and Thursday 4th at 7pm in Laanecoorie.  You must book for these classes as there is limited seats.  Then Saturday 6th at 10.30am in Maryborough (heaps more space here!)

Hope to see you at a class, but if not I hope these inspire you to create

God Bless love

Fancy Fold Arrow Card with Video

Hi there Creators Well.... I found this amazing card on Pinterest (as you do) and thought I've got to have a go at that! it's by Mixed Up Craft, and here's the link: Tricorn Style Fold Card in case you want to see it too, I made mine up from an A5 card as I really hate to waste cardstock by cutting it to inches!  So at some point I might do up a quick video just to convert it to A4 format for you! Anyway after doing up my draft I then proceeded onto my "proper card" and all was going well till I realised I'd scored it all wrong lol, however as I really don't like to waste cardstock I persevered on with it, and I really liked what I accidentally made, so I figured I'd share it with you, I'm pretty confident you won't find this anywhere else, and if you have a more inspiring name for it than my fancy fold mistake card, please let me know!  I was wondering about Fancy Fold Arrow card, what do you think? So after all this talking I'm su

Celebration of Tags

 Hi there Creators, I've been waiting ages, but finally this stamp set has arrived and it's every bit as cute as I expected it to be! So of course I had to play with it....... First up I stamped all the images using Black Stazon (they come in strips of 3 to match the dies) and cut them out with the big joined together die.  Then got to work creating cards with them, I ended up with 5 cards in the end, Oh and I've just realised I forgot to take photos of the insides, bother! This first one didn't get anything on the inside, I stamped the tag up, then debated what I could do to lessen the impact of the white card, and came up with the idea of inking the little label then stamping it a few times without reinking, and repeating till the card was covered sufficiently.  I'm quite pleased with the effect I got!   This second card is such a fun kid card, you might recognise it from my previous post on Global Design Project #264.  I've tied the ribbon at the end, then th

Share it Sunday Blog Hop

 Hi there Creators, I have joined a Facebook group called Crafty Collaborations, which is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator only group, demos all round the world, and there are various blog hops to join in with, which I thought sounded fun and might prompt me to remember to do blog posts lol! The "Share it Sunday" is an, anything goes one, which I figured was a great start for me! Today I thought I'd share with you a bit of a sneak peek!  Coming in January is our new Jan to July Mini catalogue and there is this AMAZING suite in it called Fine Art Floral, so beautiful! I've made 3 cards up and kind of ended up a bit "blue" not in feelings though - you'll see.... lol The first card is this one: I love the way it's got the 2 step stamping in the flower I've used one of the gorgeous Blue gems in the middle and bit of Wink of Stella on the flower too. This next card uses the matching dies: Floral Gallery dies, and the stamp set: Art Gallery.  Again th
