June Class Cards

Image
Hi there Creators Can't believe we're 1/2 way through the year!  June cards seem to focus on Designer Papers (it just happened that way 🤣)  however as I've been working out ways to show them off to their potential there are a couple of interesting folds we'll be doing,  Dates are Friday 6th June and Saturday 7th June.  Here goes....... Using the Beautiful Gallery Papers and a spot of pretty heat embossing then moving onto the Boho Vibes Designer Paper , and Round we Go Dies (continued from last year)  This next card uses the beautiful " Thoughtful Journey" Designer Series Paper, another carry over from last year, and I've pair it up with the Cheers & Sips Stamp set . Last but not least we have the Poppin' By Bundle used to create this cute card, also used the Textured Note Dies to create templates for masking the background. And that's it!  I hope you can join us, let me know if you plan to, if not I hope these give you inspiration to keep c...

How to curve photopolymer stamps in a different direction

 Hi there Creators I've been meaning to make a video to show how I do this for a while, and finally got round to it today!  In the video I show 2 methods of positioning your long photopolymer stamps to curve them in the direction you want them to go, and as I don't make up the cards in it, I thought I should do a blog post to go with it and show the completed cards! Here is the video - enjoy! (and don't forget to read the rest of the blog!)   First up I showed how to curve the stamp to a cut out piece, by turning the piece over, laying the clear block over the piece then positioning the stamp where you want it on the block, when you stamp you turn the card stock back the right way. Here is the card I made using this technique: See how the saying mirrors the edge cut with the Curvy die ?  I've used some of the pretty F lowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper behind, and also for the jar, cutting out a couple of flowers from the paper to go in the jar (cut with ...

Curvy Dies

 Hi there Creators, well available from 3rd November will be a new bundle called Curvy Celebrations, there's 2 stamp sets, 1 die set and a pack of Designer Series Papers for only $123.25 - start saving!! (you can buy some of the products separately) Anyway I had an idea and I'm quite pleased to say that the 1 idea produced 3 cards!! My thought was to run 2 pieces of patterned paper together through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine, and cut them both into quarters then piece the pieces back together to create a sort of patchwork effect. I've spritzed some of the Frost White Shimmer Paint onto the background and with this first one also painted the snowflake from So Many snowflake dies , with the frost white. (close up after the cards) how pretty is that intricate die cut? this next one I coloured in the dove from Detailed Dove dies , with a Wink of Stella clear brush, just love the shimmer you get!, and again spritzed the background with the Frost White shimmer p...
