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

Cards for October

Hi there! well we're in the thick of school holidays now, but I have finally found a few minutes to let you know the cards we'll be creating in my classes in October. I'll just go with the order I made them in, so first up is this beautiful bouquet from "wishing you well" stamp set, I've loved the bouquet and bow since I set eyes on them in the holiday catalogue, they are what Stampin' Up! calls Distinktive stamps, which means that they create different opacities in a single stamped image, it's really amazing  doesn't it create such a beautiful subtle image?  I've also used the Swirly Frames stamp set with this card too. Card #2 I had to use this Buffalo Check stamp , oh my goodness it's fabulous! I've teamed it up with the His Light stamp set , I do love the font in this set! then added a couple of the gorgeous Red Rhinestone basic jewels . Moving onto Card #3 this was again one of those I couldn't resist stamp sets lo
