December Class Cards

 Hi there Creators

Wowsers December already, and Christmas is just round the corner!

I made up 4 cards then decided I wasn't happy with one of them, so switched it out for a card that is literally the star of the show!  As it does require a fair bit of cutting on my behalf I really need to know who's coming a few days in advance so I can have the right amount of kits made.

Class Dates are Tuesday 3rd Dec in my classroom in Laanecoorie and Saturday 14th Dec at Wattle City Church Maryborough - yes there is a big gap between the 2 due to the Carol Service rehearsal on 7th Dec that I'm in  (so exciting)!  As usual we'll be making 4 cards for a cost of $24.

And on to the projects.....

Let's start with the "star of the show", A 6 pointed Star Card, using the gorgeous Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper, and the Sweetest Star Punch. (photos of front & back)

Moving away from elegance to cute, and this uses the Reindeer Days Designer Series paper, The Gold Mercury Vellum, the More Wishes Stamp set, oh and also the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder (which actually I thought the name was highly appropriate with the reindeer - I think I'll call him Dasher 🤣)

And again another "cute'sy" card using the Snowy Scenes Designer Series paper, the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch and the Light the Sky stamp set.

And lastly this rocker card, which I really wanted to be a Christmas Card, but I can't work out where to put the greeting other than inside that I actually like, so potentially it can be a "whatever you want it to be card" this one uses the gorgeous Elegant Borders Dies, Regal Winter Designer Series Paper  and the lovely Blackberry Bliss & Gold textured Ribbon.

Well that's it - as they say that's a wrap folks!  In the New Year I'll be doing my usual January Mega Class on 18th January, I'm hoping my pre-order will arrive soon so I can start creating for it and work out exactly what we're going to use.

Remember to make sure you let me know if you can make it to December Class!

hope these cards inspire you to create!

God Bless love

Cards for May classes

 Hi there Creators

It's that time again, where I show off next months class cards.  The class dates are Wednesday 3rd May 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 4th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, then Saturday 6th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  New Catalogues should be with everyone by now, if you don't have one and want one, get in touch! Just a heads up that this month will still be $20 for the 4 cards, however due to rising costs I do need to increase my prices, and I'll be increasing by $1 per card - so $24 for the 4 cards.

 Here goes.....

First up I've used the new Zoo Crew (that will be available from 2nd May) to create this cute card

Then after showing a friend how to use these Give it a Whirl Dies the other day I figured we should do this in class too (they're so much fun!)  I've teamed it up with Alphabest and Waves of Inspiration so the wheel says U R Totally Awesome, as it goes round

Back to new stuff again, and this time the gorgeous Cheerful Daisies Stamp set (it also comes bundled with dies at a 10% off total) - definitely worth it! and again not available till 2nd May (not long now) - are you noticing any new colours in these cards?

And the last card uses the lovely big wordings from Good Feelings stamps, and I've cut a mask using the Elegant Border Dies (again a new colour 😉)

 Which card is your favourite?  I hope you can join me for one of my fun classes, if not I hope these cards inspire you to create too.

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Elegant Border Dies

 Hi There Creators,

Today we're checking out these absolutely gorgeous Elegant Border Dies, they are an "OnLine Exclusive" thing, so you can't find them in the catalogue, however there is hope!  check out this link:  Elegant Border Dies.  As soon as I saw them I knew they were keepers!  not in the least bit masculine 🤣

Anyway in the video I simply show them and cut them out, unless you stayed right till the end in which case you'll have seen the cards I'm showing off here:

The blue card uses Starry Sky and Bermuda Bay inks rubbed onto the card using the blending brushes, and silver heat embossing for the saying.

I wanted this card to Pop, so I chose the Parakeet Party as the base, and the Fine Shimmer Paper is just stunning for the butterflies.  I also mention in the video that I have mixed up gold & silver embossing powder to do the saying, as it kind of ends up a champagne sort of colour which went better than the gold or silver on their own would have done.

In the black & White one above I've used more online exclusive products: Irresistible Blooms Bundle.

And this Christmas card uses a carry over stamp set from the Christmas Catalogue: Brightest Glow Stamp set (it's a fabulous Christmas word'y set)

Then last but not least if you were here 2 weeks ago you'll know I was showing off Bendi cards, so here is my latest bendi card:  This one uses Awash in Beauty Designer Paper and as you can see I've managed to fit 3 out of the 4 dies onto my card (yay go me!)  just not enough "arms" for 4 🤣

Feel like this was a good day's work!  What do you think?

If you missed the video here it is:

 

I hope this inspires you too

God Bless love
