Something Saturday - Rock & Roll

 Hi there Creators,

Today we're checking out the Rock & Roll designer Series Paper, it's a great all rounder being black & white (check it out with the link above)

Oh and don't forget.....that Sale-a-Bration (SAB) is still going to the end of Feb, which means for every $90 you purchase you get a FREE SAB goody, or if you have heaps you want, you could join my team, and pick $235 of goodies, and only pay $169! plus you get the Glass Mat Studio for FREE or an extra $51 of goodies to pick for free! (making it $286 you can pick and only pay $169!! bargain!)  click the links to find out more info.

Anyway, onto the cards I created with it, after last week I was kind of stuck on my Alphabet A La Mode dies, so kept using them🤣  Oh Plus I also used the new Stampin' Brayer to create a great quick colour for the background so it wasn't the stark white (the advantages of having black & white designer paper!) then I used my Stampin' Write markers to colour in 3 of the guitars (was tempted to colour in more)  then one of my fav stamp sets Biggest Wish to create the big BIRTHDAY.  I like the way the "happy" pops with the Soft Sea foam behind it.

Then as I had my Happy already cut out I thought rather than adding to my rather large collection of scraps, I'd best do something with it!  It wasn't going to show up well enough on the dark coloured DSP, so I figured a bit of vellum underneath works wonders 😃, and as it's kind of hard to stamp onto vellum, I thought it would be better to have the Birthday white heat embossed onto it.  By the way Birthday comes from the matching Stamp set "Rock Star", just a case of only inking up the Birthday bit of the stamp, which isn't too hard to do, or wipe off the excess ink before you stamp.  How cool are the little boom boxes, record players, and tapes? (oh takes me back to my teenage years and taping songs off the radio......)

If you missed the video here it is:

I hope this inspires you to create too, dig out your black & white DSP and colour or brayer it in!

God Bless love

Cards for December Classes

 Hi there Creators

Wow we're at the end of the year again! my goodness that has come round fast!  Last card class for the year, of course focusing on Christmas cards.  Card class dates are: Maryborough: Saturday 2nd at 10.30am, then Wednesday 6th 10.30am and Thursday 7th at 7pm in my classroom in Laanecoorie.  Class cost is $24 for 4 cards - if you're coming please do let me know, and let's have a Christmas Celebration!  NB: the Maryborough class date is different to the one I originally had advertised as our Carol service at church is the following weekend and we have a rehearsal all day Saturday!

Onto the cards:

I had to use the Light the Sky bundle again, it's really one of my favourites! I've also discovered the absolutely gorgeous Rose Gold Specialty Paper, ummmm

This next card I thought was kind of fun!  Using the Modern Oval punch to create the little bags, and the Merry Bold & Bright Designer paper, I felt it went well with the nice bold saying from Joy to You stamp set.

Then moving onto the next card, again some gorgeous cardstock Joy of Christmas Designer Series papers (seems to be a recurring theme here!) Using the More Wishes and Biggest Wish stamp sets, heat embossed with Metallics Embossing Powders.

And the last card, again some gorgeous Papers: This time Winter Meadow Designer Series paper (which is actually a continuing product not retiring just yet - it surprised me that one!) and also the Snowflake Magic Specialty Paper (which is retiring)

   I'd love to have you come & join us for a class, but if you can't make it I hope these cards inspire you to create.

God Bless love
