Something Saturday - Christmas Wishes Kit

Hi There Creators, Today I thought I'd show off this new kit I brought the other day, oooo it has gold foiling in it, ummmm💖😍 Christmas Wishes Kit , it contains a stamp set, mini ink pad and stampin' block as well as the cardstock to create 8 cards, although, having said 8 truly if you are economical and prepared to do a spot of cutting and adding more cardstock, then you can double it, as the base cards are the same pattern on each side (woo hoo!) The official 2 cards it makes are these 2: the one saying Merry, Merry, Christmas was actually meant to have 3 "Merry"s on it but in my typical way I changed it 😃 I did discover that inside the cards is this rather lovely gold square frame with leaf, which I thought would look lovely on the front of a card (plus it takes opening up the card before you start to make sure it's on the correct side and the right way up - and I didn't 🤣)  So this card came into being, using some of bits I cut off the edges to create

Cards for November Classes

-

 Hi There Creators

Well we're getting closer to November so thought I'd better share the cards we'll be creating at classes on Tues 5th 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 7th 7pm Laanecoorie and Saturday 9th 10.30am Maryborough😃 In the class you'll create all 4 cards for $24 (and have a fabulous social time!)

So, here goes, as it's November we're up to 3 Christmas Cards.

This is the only Non-Christmassy one, Oh my goodness how gorgeous is this paper?! This is the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper, which goes so beautifully with this Blackberry Bliss & Gold Ribbon, and the Spotlight on Nature Dies, which are possibly the most useful dies I have

Regal Winter DSP, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Stampin' Up!

Now we're onto a clear run of Christmas Cards.  I love this look, where it looks like you're looking up in the middle of a forest, I've used a stamp from the fabulous Christmas Wishes Kit, for the saying and the trees are from Peaceful Evergreens.

Next up is this rather cute tree from the Decorative Tree Dies, and the cool Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder background

Stampin' Up! Decorative Trees Dies, Forever Plaid 3D EF

Last but not least is this card using the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper, I wasn't sure I'd actually like this paper, but there you go it makes a great card!  I've paired it up with the Citrus Blooms Dies and the Peaceful Season Bundle for the saying and die cut square, and the Basics 3D embossing folder.

And that's it folks!
Don't forget to let me know if you're planning on coming to any of the above classes, or if you have any questions, get in touch!

If you can't make it to any of the classes I hope these inspire you to create

God Bless love

Crafty Collaborations Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

    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, 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

What's New?

  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
