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 - Creating Frames using Paper Trimmer

 Hi There Creators,

Today as I was cutting things with my Paper Trimmer I thought Oh I wonder if I've ever taught people how to create frames with their trimmer, so just in case I haven't, here we go.........

In the video I simply show how to position the Trimmer and cardstock to be able to cut out a rectangle from the middle of it and create a frame, I find it really handy to do this, you can create a great effect without lots of bulk, for example with this card, if I was to use single layers it would end up with 7 layers and fairly heavy and bulky, in some respects it's like faux matting!

And then on the plus side you end up with the inside pieces to also use......  Love conserving cardstock! These 2 cards use 3 of the new In Colours for this year: Shy Shamrock, Petunia Pop and Pretty in Pink, so of course they needed the new In Colour bling: In Colour Shimmer Gems.  And the Stamp/Punch set I used is Keeping Tabs

I then may have got a little carried away, with making cards using the Ephemera Packs, and creating frames...And the funny thing is I didn't really think I'd like the Ephemera Packs when I first saw them, but gee they're addictive once you get creating 🤣 paired up with various bling, my favourite currently is the Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins, Oh my goodness I love the colours in them, and the fact they don't have a hole in the middle makes them look like gems and not sequins!  And I used the Simply Said stamp set that is recommended to go with the ephemera packs, it has a fabulous selection of sayings 😃
