Something Saturday - Hooray for Honeycomb Kit

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I thought we'd take a look at one of the new Kits that Stampin' Up! has brought out, it's really fun!, the name "honeycomb" kind of gives it away🤣 There are 9 cards to create, and it's a nice simple kit, would make an excellent gift for anyone who is thinking of starting off with card-making, there's no stamping involved - it's all "stick it together" and everything is included to do this.  At $32 it works out to $3.56 per card (which let's face it is pretty cheap for a card these days!) So here are the cards you can make (3 of each): Don't you just love the matching envelopes? The front of each card has clear embossed shiny bits on it (most obvious on the rainbow card at the top! with my photography) And there you have it, I haven't had the chance to play around and see what else I can create with this kit yet, so if you get it and do play around, let me know what you do! If you missed the video here it

Cards for April

Image
Hi there Creators, Well almost at the end of March, and so here are the cards I'll be teaching in April.  The class dates are Wednesday 3rd 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 4th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, then Saturday 6th at 10am in Maryborough.  Do let me know if you plan to come to one of the classes (and haven't done so already). Best start showing you the cards!  This first one uses the stunning Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder , which is currently a Sale-a-Bration item till the end of March, so spend $90 and you can choose it for FREE! (you can't purchase this one at the moment).  I've also used the Label Me Pretty Stamp set with Matching Pretty Label Punch , and the lovely chunky ribbon is Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon .   Card #2, I thought we hadn't used the Stampin' Blends for a while (don't forget if you're using the Blends they are alcohol markers so you need to use memento ink for your ba

Christmas in July (next months classes)

Hi Everyone, well finally, been meaning to do this for ages! we're going to do Christmas in July classes! This post is for my 4 Cards class, which will be on Saturday 14th July at 10am in Maryborough (school holidays hence pushed back a week)  Then Wednesday 18th July at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie in my classroom. Here are the cards in no particular order, all very traditional Green and Red colours! lets face it when you think of Christmas those are the immediate colours that come to mind!  Alright so this first card uses the new Christmas stamp set "Mistletoe Season", I love the way there is a gap in the mistletoe (or in my case holly - red berries) for the ribbon to sit in, and it is a 2 step stamp set, the greenery has 2 stamps, and the bow is made up of 2 stamps too. Quite like the fun writing font too!  How cute is the snowman with his little bunny peeping out behind?  This is the Seasonal Chums Stamp set, which has been around a while, but I've

What's retiring......

Hi Everyone, Oh my goodness I have printed out 6 pages of retiring products! there's a few things I'm really sad to see going! Some are reduced by up to 50%! (but you really best get in quick for those)  I've discovered some things are already sold out :( If you don't have the owl builder punch and always thought you'd get it, get on quick and order one! here he is just peeking out from the inside of the card! it also uses the Hardwood Stamp (not retiring yay!)   Very sad to see Gorgeous Grunge on the retiring list too as that's one I've used a LOT, great for backgrounds! Oh here it is paired with Better than Email (already gone!)  And one more for now, Birthday Fiesta , I loved this little Lama/Alpaca as soon as I saw him the stamp set is on low inventory as we "speak" however the bundle isn't on low: Birthday Fiesta Bundle Yea that Better Together (the wording for Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday in the last 2 cards, is c
