Yep it's nearly May, Hi there Creators! I will be offering the same 4 cards at all of my classes this month, Class dates are Wednesday 1st at 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 2nd at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 4th at 10am in Maryborough , so let's get into it..... Card #1 I finally succumbed to This Little Piggy Stamp set (and I can say it is going into the next annual catalogue) yay!  don't know if you can see the background, however I did you a close up just in case :) although I'm not sure it shows it any better lol  the secret is it uses the Timeless Textures Stamp set (sadly retiring) heat embossed with clear or white embossing powder . Moving onto card #2, I thought it would be nice to showcase this Designer Series Paper before it's gone, It's the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper, I didn't like it much to begin with, but have to admit it has grown on me! Card #3 again I wanted to showcase this Best Route Designe

Hi There, yay finally got the 2nd card finished and photos/videos done of the Slider Cards we'll be creating on 20th!  Remember you can also order this as a kit and I will be doing a video to show how to put your pack together (as well as written instructions) So Card1:   And Card #2     I have made a couple of quick videos so you can see how they work both of these cards use beautiful Specialty Designer Series Papers, the top card also uses the Botanical Tags Thinlit die s (aren't they gorgeous?) and the second card uses the Detailed Floral Thinlit dies , and the Celebrate You thinlit dies .  And just in case you're wondering the Specialty Designer Series Papers are, Share What You Love (card 1) and a new one called Frosted Floral (available from 5th September - unless you're a demo, in which case you can get it now!!) Anyway down to the nitty gritty, the class is in Laanecoorie on 20th at 10.30am and 7.30pm, cost $20 however if you can't

Hi There, Thought I'd do a couple of quick videos for you on how to put your tag card together this month, and part of how I've created the "thankyou" card, which was quick doing the videos, then I've waited the whole day for them to upload to u-tube, and the internet is running like a slug! (and it's not Turbo for those of you who have seen the kids video!) lol, so finally I think I'm there 😁 Just before I get into that *hot news!* the Clearance Rack has just been updated with a heap of reduced products, check them out here: Clearance Rack  if you do put an order in use the open hostess code for the month SBN2669E for a chance to win the FREE GOODIES! However photos first.... this is the card you'll be able to make with your tag: this uses the Bottles & Bubbles bundle (which is only a bundle till the end of the current catalogue, after that you'll pay 10% more to get the dies and stamps!)  also uses the Celebrate You thinlit dies, which

Hi There, I saw a couple of videos done by Jennifer McGuire, where she's used dies to create borders on her cards, partial cutting using the bigshot, so I was inspired to give it a go.....  thought I'd share with you! This was my initial go, have to admit it was a little tricky to cut out the excess bits, I've used the beautiful dies from Flourish thinlits , which considering you get 10 beautiful dies is remarkably good value at $49! then I tried out the flowers in the same Flourish thinlits, and made it into a card; Couldn't resist adding the Glitter Enamel Dots in the centre of the flowers (they're so pretty!) then moving on...... (I had some Old Olive cardstock cut to the right size, hence all the green lol) I've gone back to the big die in the set to create the top border, and the scalloped line at the top was the pink cut out on the previous card (good to use up the proverbial scraps)  considered the fact that I've not used the pink's

Hi There, Oh my goodness we're almost in March!  So here are the cards I'll be teaching in my 4 card classes first one is on this coming Saturday, in Maryborough at 10am, then the other 2 classes are on the 14th, at 10.30am and 7.30pm in my Classroom in Laanecoorie. Do let me know if you plan to come :) Ok first card off the rank!  I've decided to use a doily (trust me this is really rare lol)  and also the ultra cool Brusho powders (so much fun)  I made up 2 just to make sure I could do it (and because it was fun, and it shows other colours......)  Also used the Perennial Birthday stamp set . Moving onto card #2: I'm pretty sure I've blogged this card before, but Oh my goodness aren't the Party Pandas just so darn cute?  The Party Pandas are a Sale-a-bration set, so when you order $90+ you can pick this set for FREE!  this is only available till the end of March, so get in quick!  I've also used the fabulous Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper to cre

Hi there, For my February Interactive Cards Class on Tuesday 20th Feb, I will be teaching Twist'n'Pop Cards, this will be available as a kit for those who can't make it to the class (the only part I can't provide you with is the stamped images)  All the cardstock will be cut and scored for you and there will be instructions included. Here are the cards: The Designer Series Papers used may vary from card to card, in the first card we'll be using the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper,   The Happy Birthday will be die cut for you using the Happy Birthday Thinlits die cut from the stunning Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper and the cute Pandas are stamped images cut out (the Party Pandas stamp set is available for FREE when you order $90+ until the 31st March) In the second card we'll be using the Tutti Fruity Designer Series Paper , the Celebrate You thinlit dies (which are available for FREE with an order of $180+) Also the Pretty Label Punch , and

Hi Everyone, As I accidentally ordered 2 packs of Painted with Love Designer Series Paper (which ironically I wasn't terribly keen on to begin with lol)  I thought I'd do a few cards to showcase the papers to encourage my enthusiasm for them!  I do love the gold foil card in them (gotta have bling! lol) they're on page 19 in the new Occasions catalogue. Just so you know I cut each to a piece of 6x3", then trimmed it down to fit on the cards, I wanted the paper itself to have centre stage, let me know what you think! So the first one might look a tad familiar if you've been following my blog..... then the rest are "new" lol So up next I thought I'd play around with "non-standard" folded cards, so made these 2 also using the, Sale-a-Bration thinlit dies "Celebrate You" you can earn these for FREE! with an order over $180 during the Sale-a-Bration period 3rd Jan to 31st March, the second card also uses wording from "Pictu
