Hi There Creators I cannot believe it took me this long to get this punch 🤣 Once I started creating with it I actually had to stop myself to get on and do other things!! If you don't have it I totally recommend getting it! See this link: Petal Park Builder Punch. So in the video I create kind of 3D flowers using it, by curling the flowers, cutting them to the middle and overlapping one of petals on top of the one beside it, then layering the 3 flowers on top of each other, which looks really pretty..... (had to start with the most complicated 🤣) I also incorporated the beautiful Stamp set " You are Beautiful ", and the Sunny Day Iridescent dots (one of my fav embellishments currently) Then I thought I'd better just use them as they are without the cuts, and created this card And lastly simpler still, no layering the flowers and they still look lovely! I stuck to the same colours for all 3 cards, the leaves done with Granny Apple Green Ink and the writing...
Something Saturday - Natures Paintings Kit

Hi there Creators,
I was excited to receive this Natures Paintings kit, it's kind of like getting a colouring in book, but using watercolour instead😍
So for the video I picked out one of the designs to colour in and showed off 4 ways to use the watercolour pencils, and water painter that come with the kit.
The 4 ways are:
- using the pencils direct to paper, then using the water painter to move the colour around
- using the water painter to "lick" the colour off the tip of the pencil and colour with it
- colouring a block onto a scrap bit of paper, and using that as a dry paint block, ie add water and use that to colour with
- then lastly and my preferred way, is to add a drop of water to a clear block, then scribble the pencil into the drop until it colours it, then paint with this.
I can't show you specifically where I used which technique as they kind of end up looking the same, however as I mentioned in the video I did think I could split the piece into 3 for 3 cards, and voila........
the first one uses the Sweetly Scripted Stamp set in the background, and some of the Adhesive backed dragonflies & birds.
these next 2 use this lovely saying from Layers of Beauty Stamp set.
I'm really happy with the way it cut up so easily to create the 3 cards, the last card uses pieces from both sides of the design, whereas the other 2 use the top section and the bottom section individually.
If you missed the video, here it is:
I hope this inspires you to have a go too, don't forget to use the links above to check out the products😉
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...
Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament
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...
Class cards for May
Hi there Creators, I have worked out our class cards for May now woo hoo! Class dates are: Tuesday 7th at 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 9th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 11th at 10.30am in Maryborough. Class cost is $24 for 4 cards with envelopes. It's important to book your place if you're coming to Laanecoorie as space is limited. Here are the cards we'll be creating: Using the beautiful Unbounded Love Bundle and Layers of Beauty (I've only used the stamp set here, but Oh My Goodness the bundle is so worth it!), also showcasing some of the new colours: Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie (guess which is which 🤣) Then back in time a little as this was in the mini catalogue (if you want it, buy it now before the end of the month while it's still a bundle price with 10% off it!) Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (stamps & dies) again showcasing one of the "new" colours, although Pretty in Pink is actually an old colour with a come-back! Moving onto t...
