Cards for December Classes

 Hi There Creators

Well we've finally got to December and ALL Christmas cards! 😍 

Just in case you're planning to order any of these, some of them will be on the retiring list on 1st December, and in some cases they'll be reduced, however you might have to get in quick to get them!

Classes are Wednesday 7th 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 8th 7pm in Laanecoorie and Saturday 10th 10.30am in Maryborough. $20 to create all the projects.  Let me know if you plan to come along.

Here is the offering for December:

First up is this duo of card with little pillowbox bag made using the Pretty Pillowbox dies I couldn't resist using the whole piece of metallic and shimmer specialty paper to create this duo (they're 6x6 sheets)  Along with the Celebrating You stamps, and the absolutely gorgeous Gold Shimmer Ribbon

Next up is this fun card using the Spruced Up Outline Dies (this will be retiring come December, so look out for a great price on the individual components - ask me if you're not sure) and, a bit of a sneak peek from the next mini catalogue, with the Handdrawn Dots Stamps, saying comes from Inspired Thoughts, which is a great all rounder saying set.

Then I've used the Decorated with Happiness bundle, (this is also retiring come December, again check the individual prices, as it works out cheaper)  it just really appeals to me this set!, and also the Stitched Greenery Die in the background for a bit of added interest

Then  lastly I felt a need to go "Aussie" and figured a bit of wattle could be Christmassy too 😁 As the Aussie Christmas carol goes: Deck the Sheds with Bits of Wattle......

Here I've used the beautiful Texture Chic Memories & More Cards & Envelopes paired up with the Brightest Beauty Stamp set (again it will be on the retiring list at the beginning of Dec😔) and Decorated with Happiness stamp set (and some gold heat embossing - gotta have some bling.....)  I've finished off by stamping the saying directly onto the natural finish ribbon.

Well that's it, next month is January so we won't be having our usual classes due to holidays, however I do plan to do one of my Mega Classes on a Saturday mid to late Jan, once I have my hands on some of the new products I'll be working out what we're going to do.

Look forward to seeing you if you can make it to class, if not have a wonderful Christmas

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Brightest Beauty (Wattle next?....)

 Hi there Creators

I'm not sure if this set is specifically meant to be Wattle, but it sure looks like it!  Here in Australia (in case you're from a different part of the world)  the Wattle has been flowering beautifully out in the bush recently, here's one of the photos I took recently: (might have been good had I taken my phone out of it's red cover to take the photo, or even checked the photo after I took it! but I've never claimed to be a photographer, and didn't have my glasses with me - at least that's my excuse)

Anyway on to the cards.... Using the Brightest Beauty Bundle  I make up this card in the video, nice and simple just a bit of stamping, I thoroughly recommend using the Stamparatus to line up/position and stamp the yellow (fluffy bits) commonly called blossom 🤣  And I love using the linen thread with natural looking stamps.

After finishing the video I then made up these 2 cards:

This uses some of the pieces I had already cut out, and again the linen thread with a double bow, I love the background triangle pieces stamp 😍

And you can see the little yellow cut out pieces have debossing in them to give them that "fluffy" appearance.

Then I decided that actually it didn't need to be completely yellow, so thought I'd use up the last pieces of greenery with purple blossoms (and again the linen thread)  And how lovely is the tag for the saying? it also has a little bit of de-bossing texture at the top and bottom.

If you missed the video, here it is....

I hope this inspires you to purchase this bundle (from me 😉) 😀  I don't know if it'll make it into the next catalogue - here's hoping 🤞 so if it doesn't you only have potentially till 4th January. (you can click on the links above to check out what I used)

God Bless love
