Hi there Creators, Well we're 1/2 way through the month already, and Wow I now have 2 separate card Classes sorted for September!  the first is our regular class, which is what this post is about, the other is the special Gingerbread Man & Sophisticated Alternative Cracker class (click the link to see, should open in a new window). Anyway back to our regular class for September, which will be on Friday 5th; 1pm in my classroom and Saturday 7th; 10.30am Maryborough Class cost $25 for the 4 cards. As we'll be 4 months out from Christmas, we'll be making one Christmas card at this class (2 in Oct, 3 in Nov, 4 in Dec) 😃  gotta work your way up to it! So, by popular demand I've created this little guy with the sliding "behind".   To see all the "ingredients" click here: Sausage Dog Slider Next up using new goodies is this elegant sympathy card, although it could easily be changed to other sentiments using the same Unbounded Love stamp set, the new P...

Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

-

 Hi there Creators

Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃

Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way.

And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below)

Celebratory Sips DSP, Stampin' Up!
and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!)

Birthday Celebration Stamps, Stampin' Up!

So this is the bit that's obscured above!

Birthday Celebration Stamps, Stampin' Up!

Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below)

Beautiful Gallery, Stampin' Up!

and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections

Beautiful Gallery, Stampin' Up!, Textured Note Dies

and again the obscured bit

Measurements:
You'll need 3 pieces of A6 card (10.5cm x 14.8cm) 
cut one in 1/2 so you have 2 pieces of 10.5x 7.4cm and score 1 end of each 1cm in (see my mud map workings then if all is as clear as mud, feel free to watch the video 🤣
You'll also need 2 pieces to pop inside the windows I made these 10.2cm x 6cm and 10.2cm x 6.5cm

and here's the video....



I hope this inspires you to have a go too.

God Bless love

 Hi there Creators, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan).

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

-
Image
 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...
