Something Saturday - Hooray for Honeycomb Kit

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I thought we'd take a look at one of the new Kits that Stampin' Up! has brought out, it's really fun!, the name "honeycomb" kind of gives it away🤣 There are 9 cards to create, and it's a nice simple kit, would make an excellent gift for anyone who is thinking of starting off with card-making, there's no stamping involved - it's all "stick it together" and everything is included to do this.  At $32 it works out to $3.56 per card (which let's face it is pretty cheap for a card these days!) So here are the cards you can make (3 of each): Don't you just love the matching envelopes? The front of each card has clear embossed shiny bits on it (most obvious on the rainbow card at the top! with my photography) And there you have it, I haven't had the chance to play around and see what else I can create with this kit yet, so if you get it and do play around, let me know what you do! If you missed the video here it

Something Saturday - What you can do with the Enamel Effects

Hi there Creators, Well I've been working on it for a while but finally here it is (a non-exhaustive) compilation of what you can do with the Enamel effects and here is the cute little roundup of bottles:   First up there are 2 Packs of these, one is Metallic and one Pearlized (check them out with the links) they're both packs of 3 and cost $27 for the pack.  NOTE WELL: they are NOT water soluble, as I discovered after allowing some to dry on my silicone mat!  A couple of factors seem to change drying time, temperature (when its colder it seems to take long to dry), and how thick it is applied obviously affects it.  Having said that we used it in class the other day to create dots on our project and the cards were dry by around 15 mins.  In the video I show off (not in this order): You can mix them with Isocol to create a spray (looks like a starry night on dark cardstock) You can squeeze them onto mini glue dots and create your own sizes of pearls with built in sticky backs
