Thankyou for joining me today, I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, since 2008. My blog will show you how to make cards and projects using Stampin' Up!'s fabulous products. And occasionally random extra stuff (that's the way I roll 🤣) Please do sign up to receive my emails, so you get my latest info.
Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣) if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling. Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it: I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action. Its not a bad littl...

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" 🤣
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, and 11.1cm (see the mud map)
this then rolls round to form the base "box" HOWEVER don't do what I did!
NB: Before you roll this up and stick it down, make sure you add a layer of Designer paper behind it, I used 4" x 14.5cm
then add 2 pieces of Designer Paper to the bottom "Box" 8cm x 3.2cm
Next create the middle "box" this is a piece 6.5cm x 12cm, scored at 3cm, 6cm, and 9cm
You'll need 2 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 6cm x 2.5cm
The top box is 4.5cm x 10cm scored at 2.5cm, 5cm and 7.5cm
And you'll need 2 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 4cm x 2cm
then you'll also want a piece for the bottom of your card to make sure it doesn't tip backwards when it's opened I had a cut off piece after making one of the boxes that is just under 4cm wide, I've then cut it so it sticks out by 1cm at the front and back of the card (about 8cm long)
I also added the 3 drusy embellishments on the front flap to add a bit of weight just in case, having said that I'm not really sure they do add much weight as they're pretty light🤣 but they do look rather gorgeous!
and pretty much that's it.
If you missed the video here it is, could be handy to watch it to see how I add the components together.
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 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...
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...
