Cards for May

Hi Everyone,
Well as May is at the end of this week, thought I'd better get my act into gear and show you the cards we'll be making at the "4 Cards" classes on Saturday 5th, and Wednesday 9th.

I'll jump right in with a brand new Stamp set - Love what you do, which will be available from tomorrow, as a pre-order for you in special bundles (see the video Stampin' Up! have created for it in my "specials happening tab"

Oh and spot the new colour?  Grapefruit Grove.

Card #2 also uses new stuff - the Love What You Do Specialty Designer Series Paper, oh my goodness it's gorgeous, has a pearl effect (as Stampin' Up! is in it's 30th year, and Pearl being the 30th Anniversary "stone") I've teamed it up with the Duet Banner Punch and the Thoughtful Banners Stamp set.

Card #3, and we're back to the "old" finally using my Marbled Stamp as the swirly background, and the Stylized Birthday stamp (which is on the retiring list, if you want it order it soon!) both stamps are individual stamps not in a set! just realised that as I was typing this up, so thought I'd better share that useful piece of info with you - lol Oh also features some of the new colours Blueberry Bushel and Call Me Clover.

Ok and the last card #4 when I'd made this it felt very tie dyed!  I just love this Bubble Over Stamp set!  I think it has so many uses, so I've also made the Bubble Over Stamp set and Bottles & Bubbles framelits my Bundle of the month for May (that'll come in the next post) I've teamed this one up with the fabulous Eastern Medallion Thinlits, and some more of the new colours Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch.

Well that's it for today, I hope you can join me either on Saturday (5th) at 10am in Maryborough or Wednesday 9th either 10.30am or 7.30pm in Laanecoorie
I hope this inspires you to create!
God Bless love

Made it Monday on Tuesday!

Hi there

Over on the Eureka Stampers Facebook Page, which I'm part of we have something called "Made it Monday".  However as yesterday was a public holiday, the kids were home, and I was unpacking the car back into my craft room/class room, so nothing was made :(

So today in my list of things to do were to organise my "tag card" and the card that my Craft@Home ladies will be receiving to create, I thought I'd share them with you today.

The Tag Card for those of you who don't know, is a way of making the tag that comes on your bag (when your purchase from me), into a card, so here it is:

it uses the gorgeous Eastern Medallions Thinlits to create the beautiful cut out in the card, then the tag itself uses the Ribbon of Courage Stamp set, and Support Ribbon Framelits, along with the Tailored Tag Punch, and the Sale-a-Bration Shimmer ribbon pack (the ribbon may vary from card to card) You can choose to have these ribbons for free when you place an order of  $90 before the end of March.  I 've coloured my heart in using the Stampin' Blends, but I have left them uncoloured for you to decide on your own colours :)

And the other card I wanted to share with you today is the one my Craft@Home group will be getting to create, I do have a space in the group if anyone is interested!

This card uses the new Sale-a-Bration Basket Weave Embossing Folder (the embossing folder will be available in the next Annual Catalogue, but currently you can choose to have it and the coordinating stamp set when you purchase $180 of products available till the end of March)  This also uses the Ribbon of Courage Stamp set, and Support Ribbon Framelits.(although I can't stamp it for them, so my Craft@Home'rs will be using their own stamps for the saying)  Oh and the Duet Banner Punch!

Well I hope these cards inspire you to create, and if you'd like to find out more about my Craft@Home group let me know!

God Bless love

Cards for Classes in May

Hi Everyone,
Wow isn't the year travelling fast!! Tomorrow is May, so here are the cards I'll be teaching in my classes, The dates are: Wednesday 3rd May 10.30am (meant to be in Bendigo, but the venue we usually use is unavailable, so it will be in my classroom for those who fancy the trip out), Saturday 6th May in Maryborough at 10am, and Wednesday 10th May at 7.30pm (my classroom in Laanecoorie)  Do let me know if you'd like to join in any of the classes :)
first card uses the Watercolour Wings Stamp set, and the Bold Butterfly Framelits (on the retiring list), if you have the stamp set, but not the framelits, I recommend that you get on and purchase them quickly before they run out!

Next up is this pretty flower from "You've Got This" stamp set, also a peek at one of the new In Colours, Lemon Lime Twist!, I think it looks so fresh, and a bit of Clear Wink of Stella over the flower

I thought I should use up some of my favourite Designer Series Paper before it's no longer available, and eek I've just checked it and it's on the low inventory list :(  So saying goodbye to Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper

thankfully the Garden in Bloom Stamp set I've used is continuing as is the Best Badge Punch, you probably won't be able to tell from the above photo, but I've used another one of the new In Colours in the stamped leaves (Tranquil tide).

And last card, I just HAD to use the brand new Eastern Palace Suite, as it will be available for customers to purchase, as a suite from 1st May to the 31st May, then in the new annual catalogue as individual items, this showcases the 3rd new In Colour Fresh Fig  (these 3 new In Colours are in the Eastern Palace Suite) Oh my goodness this suite has so many uses!

Anyway, that's it for now, I hope you can make it to one of my classes, if not, I hope this has inspired you to create!
Don't forget if you're ordering to use my current open hostess code: 7R4QTZMQ to go into the draw to receive the hostess benefits. (unless you're in my craft@home group in which case use the code I email you)

God Bless love
