Hi there Creators, Not sure about you, but sometimes I find odd things in Charity shops that I think oooo I could do something with that, so of course it comes home with me, and goes in the craft room with an aim to do something with it, months later I remember about it..... I found a couple of chunky wooden sayings, quite a while ago, and finally got round to doing something with them! My something is to attach designer paper to them to make them look prettier (and not so white)  First up though we explored the "intricacies" of the Take your pick tool, I have to admit there is so much to love about this tool and there's a few extra options you might not know about:  Here are the links to check them out: Take your pick tool to begin with, then if you run out of putty (although you get 2 with the tool itself there is the Take your pick Putty refills .  But wait there's more.... there's the Take your Pick Die Brush Tip (with a special mat) and last but not least ...

 Hi there Creators Well I was sitting last night wondering what to do for my Something Saturday, and playing around with a bit of paper, ended up designing this card, I've made similar cards before like the cascade cards, this is probably a bit more basic, but I'm happy with it and it's way simpler to create, but still packs a cool Woah factor🤣  I've used Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper which is on the last chance list. I decided it needed a sentiment so picked out this one from Sweetest Star Stamp set (last chance list again), because it has 6 words (1 for each panel!😃) and these Adhesive backed Snowflake Assortment are also on the last chance list and happen to be reduced to 1/2 price (woo hoo!) Ok, onto measurements.... You'll need a sheet of A4 for the base card, score it at 9.9cm either end, then cut in 1/2 at 10.5cm, fold so each piece is concertina'd into 1/3rd's then each folded piece needs a cut that goes 1/2 way up the card (in the...

 Hi there Creators Today I got inspired by a gorgeous card sent to me, and I have to say my card is nothing like the one I was sent, partly because I used completely different measurements and turned it on it's side, as they say in Thailand, "same same but different" 🤣 So this is how my card turned out:  I've used the new Online paper Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper .  Oh my goodness isn't it gorgeous?! I've nicked one of the sayings from Sweetest Star Bundle to add to the top, and the fabulous Drusy Embellishments (Oh I really hope they don't retire!)  And I thought this ribbon was still current, oops! (would have used the C herry Cobbler & Gold ribbon , but I ran out of it.) In the video I mention that I'll share my measurements with you in my blog, so here goes.... You'll need a coloured base card, cut lengthways, scored at 14.8cm (in the middle) then at one end trim 1cm off each side, and score that side at 3.7vm, 7.4cm,...

 Hi there Creators Well after teaching the wreath the other day I had an idea....... Actually I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and potentially if we don't get our sitting room painted properly soon it could be the only Christmas decoration I can get to in the house🤣 currently everything is packed away in the "playroom" at the back of which is all the Christmas dec's! Ah well the painting looks good so far, and I'm loving the new carpet! What happened at my second class was one of the ladies brought these lovely wooden wreaths to make hers on instead, so she had a spare and I could just imagine what it would look like with the stars in the middle and some sheer fabric of some sort for them to sit on.  A delve into my fabric cupboard and voila!  I found the gorgeous sheer but patterned fabric, stapled it onto the back of the wreath and away we go..... Ok, well you probably came here to see how the wreath turned out......Ta Da: I have used the Sweete...
