Something Saturday - Long Time No See

Hi there Creators, Well today I just had to show off this idea I had for my new stamp set: "Long Time No See" (click the link to see it)  I couldn't resist the idea of making the bodies longer, with pull out pieces. This is the one I started in the video all finished:  I've used the Regals Stampin' Write Markers to colour my Alpaca & Christmas Decorations in, and some of my favourite bling; Drusy Adhesive Backed embellishments , Oh they are soooo shiny! 😍 I'm so happy with the way it turned out! Then of course I had to have a play with the sausage dog.....  using the Brights Stampin' Write Markers this time, and the Happy Labels Pick a Punch to create the Ticket look for the sayings I took a couple of "how to" photos as I was making this second card and thought I'd share with you: First up stamp the dog on the top piece of card Then  add some body to him, plus stamp his tail and extra body onto other card, and cut out, then cut a slit a...

Something Saturday - Stars Wreath

-

 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:

Sweetest Star, Stampin' Up!
I have used the Sweetest Star Punch, which also happens to come as a bundle, funnily enough called "sweetest star bundle" 😃  And I've used the beautiful Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Sweetest Star, Stampin' Up!

Sweetest Star, Stampin' Up!

Having thought it out, if I did this again, I'd cut the back piece first before adding the material so I could draw round the outside and inside of the ring, but as they say, Hindsight's a wonderful thing!

If you missed the video, here it is:



I think it would make a lovely gift (not sure that I'll be parting with mine though 🤣)

So I hope this inspires you to maybe have a go too!

God Bless love

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...

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...
