Cards for March Classes

 Hi There Creators

Well I have my March 4 Cards Class sorted😃 The Class dates are Friday 6th at 1pm in my classrooom Laanecoorie, and Saturday 7th 10.30am in Maryborough at the Wattle City Church in Argyle Road.

Here is what we'll be making:

I was kind of thinking this one would work for an Easter card, or a baby or kids card, or a cheeky, you're how old? card🤣 so I plan to bring along a variety of saying to go with it (which will probably be retired sayings as I didn't have anything appropriate in my current offering!)  it uses the ultra cute Darling Dinos, which has gone onto the retiring list🫤 and is currently cheaper to add to your cart as individual items rather than the bundle check these links out: Darling Dinos Stamp set, Darling Dinos Dies. I've also used the Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper (has a lovely blingy sheen to it) and some of the Stampin' Blends to colour in the dinos and the flowers.

Next up is this nice and simple card, that doesn't have to say Thankyou, there are other sayings in this useful "With You in Mind" stamp set, I love the grungy look the background gets from the Gears & Textures Stamp set, and I've paired it up with the Joyful Squares Dies (may have mentioned this is one of my favourites🤣) and we're using the Square Snippets Designer paper, so everyone will have something different (no 2 squares the same 🤔) 

This card was inspired by Stampin' Up!'s Virtual Card Class (totally recommend it and it's still available)! it creates a 3 fold card, but using this absolutely gorgeous Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper Product of the Month (Feb, but may still be available in March) to get this paper you spend $125 and can pick it for $9😃 And the Forever Florals Bundle (that you get as part of the package with the virtual card class, but I believe it will be for sale in March)  and I remembered finally to use Vellum!! yay

Then last but not least this card which I was so happy with then I dropped my Stazon ink pad on it 🤦‍♀️and had to cover the marks with the flower posy, which hopefully enhances it🤣 If you don't think so when you make yours up, you can leave it without the added extra (so long as you don't repeat my boo boo!) It uses the Banner sayings bundle, the Whispers of Texture Specialty paper (that's the white pieces) and the pastels shimmer paper (love this!) and then the Forever Florals dies which is the same set as used on the above card, and it coloured in with the Stampin' blends.

and that's it!  I hope you can join us for one of the classes, and if you can't but you're keen to do them, let me know and we'll see if I can pop you in for another time/place.

I hope these inspire you to create

Something Saturday - Cute as a Bug

Hi There Creators

Today I was playing around with my section of  Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper, initially I'd used a piece and cut it with some rectangle dies, which I thought I'd discovered were discontinued, however, now I've just realised they have a different name to what I thought they were, and yay still current!  Textured Note Dies,  here it is.....

To be honest it's probably not paper I'd normally use, but I went in a 4 way paper share with others in my team, which was totally worth it to see what the papers were like in the "flesh" as it were!  And I'm happy to have a little bit of it to play around with.

I then moved onto the  Everyday Arches Dies to cut the one I create in the video, here it is:

The Foam Adhesive Strips are invaluable to propping up the middle piece, then I've added some Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems and used the Banner Sayings bundle with Cajun Craze ink and cardstock (funny I didn't expect to use the stamp set from this bundle as much as I have, I knew I'd use the punch heaps!)

The little bug images in the paper are quite easy to cut out, which I suspect is what I'll be doing with heaps of them🤣

If you missed the video here it is:

I hope this inspires you to create too 😃

And.... I thought I'd give you a little sneak peek of the CreateAlong cards that I'll be making on 21st Feb make sure you sign up for my emails to get the details of how to order your CreateAlong Kit:

February Class Cards

 Hi There Creators, 

Yep I'm organised enough to be able to put up here the cards we'll be creating next month🤩

This month is the start of the new fee structure for my "4 Cards Class"  So the class will be $30 or free with a $35 order (my hope is that it will bump up my orders with Stampin' Up!, and get me closer on the path to earning the incentive trip) 🚢

Dates are Friday 6th at 1pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 7th at 10.30am in Maryborough.

And here are the cards.....

This first card uses the beautiful Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper, Textured Metallic Specialty Paper, Old Olive specialty Rickrack Ribbon, Banner Sayings Bundle and the Spotlight on Nature Dies

I'm quite chuffed with this next one, as the "horseshoe" shape is made by positioning the photpolymer stamp in a different way than intended, (which came to me as I was putting it on the block!)  now I'm thinking I might need that horse stamp set after all🤣  anyway I've used Addressed to you stamp set, plus the Sweet Jars stamp set for the sayings, the Everyday Arches Dies, and some Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers).

Card 3 (had to do 2 photos to show this one off) I've used the Celebratory Sips Designer Paper, Heartfelt Hexagon punch, Natures Symphony stamp set and Simply Said Stamp set

And last but not least this one using Encircled with Love stamp set, Timeless Plaid Designer Paper and a couple of the circle punches, now I'm looking at it on here it looks a bit windmill-like!

And that's it!  I hope you can come along and join in, make sure you let me know so I can get your kits ready for you.

God Bless love
