Something Saturday - Peekaboo Diagonal Cut Card

Image
 Hi there Creators As I mention in the video I was having a bit of a nostalgic wander through my old catalogue (that retired on 6th May) and came across a page that had a couple of fun fold cards.  So here we are today, trying one of them out.....  Theirs is landscape, mine is portrait but the measurements would be pretty similar just having the fold of the card in a different place. Here is mine: as you can see it's kind of a card in a card.  I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite ,  although I confess I haven't used the stamps & dies in this particular card!  The suite has Stamps, dies, 2 embossing folders, bling, ribbon, and Designer paper, all for $138.25 which I think is pretty good! (and just think with the new rewards system, you'll then have $13.80 to spend on your next order - make sure you've opted in!) If you watched the video you'll know that I accidentally added glue to the wrong side of my designer paper, so I ended up making this card 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...

ClassCards@Home for August

Image
 Hi there Creators,  Well, having made up cards to be done with me, we've been locked down again! hence I've made up 4 more cards that you can use your own stamp wording with.  This way you can order the kit and do them at home (and dream of getting together for a class again.....) Kit cost $20 plus $2.20 for postage (if I need to mail them to you) please order by 14th, I'll make up the kits that weekend, and either mail them on the Monday or wait till I'm in your area and deliver them off as soon as I can after that. Ok, so the cards are: First Up, it's been Wintery and raining, so I had a need for some sunshine lol, I chose to utilize the Friendly Silhouette dies !  I made this card up, then decided it would actually make quite a cool retirement card, and it's the first time I've used this saying from Itty Bitty Greetings such a handy set! After this card, I couldn't resist using some of the new goodies I have from the August to December Mini catalog...
