Hi Everyone I feel like I say this every month, but Wow hasn't November gone fast! lol Classes next month are on Maryborough - Saturday 2nd at 10am (bring Christmassy party food!)  Kangaroo Flat Wednesday 13th 10.30am (again the Christmassy party food), and Laanecoorie Wednesday 13th 7pm (see the note at the end). These are the cards we'll be creating: first up I love this Eclipse Technique, very simple when you know how!  I've used the Large Letters Framelit dies   and the Musical Season Stamp set Card #2 This one uses the Christmas Quilt Photopolymer Bundle (stamps and dies), and also the matching Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper . On to Card #3: this one uses on of my favourite stamp sets Every Good Wish Stamp set , inks it up with 3 different colours, and frames it :) And last but not least Card #4: this one uses the Tags and Trimmings stamp set, Be Merry Designer Series Paper , and the fabulous Everyday label Punch, which has rapidl...

Hi Everyone, My 2nd Coffee&Cards class in Dunolly is on again this coming Monday .  I was inspired by one of my swaps from OnStage, having had in my mind that I wanted to use the Coffee Cafe suite of products but wanting to somehow tie it in with Christmas, I got given a card that had 2 coffee cups with Christmas sayings on them.  Highly observant me, hadn't realised that there is a set in the Holiday Catalogue that actually coordinates with the Coffee Cafe framelit dies ! it's called Merry Cafe (on page 46), Ha who would have known? lol However as I don't have that set, I've gone with one that is on the Extravaganza list - on 20 Nov you'll be able to buy this stamp set "Every Good Wish" for 20% less!! on that day only (let me know if you want to see the list!) Oh and the Coffee Cup framelits are on the list with 20% off too! Anyway on to the cards: This makes me think of Christmas in Australia, due to the heat, and to me it's a cold dri...

Hi Everyone, Sorry it's been a while since you heard from me!  But here I am again :) Wow it's nearly the end of the month, so for next month I thought we'd settle into Christmas with 3 of the cards for the month, and one bright summery one!  Classes for these cards next month (November) are on the 1st Bendigo, 4th Maryborough and 8th (eve) Laanecoorie  Let's start with the bright summery one, because I really love it! lol Oh my goodness, I can't believe I hadn't bought this Iridescent Sequin Assortment before! and for 1c per sequin wow what awesome value!, got to show you a close up of them..... I've also used a new stamp set to me: Hello Friend , along with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks . How gorgeous are they?!! I think I'm in love again! lol Ok ok, I'll move onto card #2 (we'll come back to that later.......lol) Right, the first of the Christmas cards! this one uses the Merry Little Labels Stamp set (comes as a bundle wi...

Hi Everyone, What do you think is Emerald Envy the colour to use for Christmas?  I inadvertently ended up with a new Stamp set on Saturday, when we discovered that we'd ordered a wood set instead of a Clear mount set for someone, so I happily paid her for the difference, and skipped away with the wood mount set lol (ok, yes I will order the clear set for her to replace it lol) Anyway the set is " Every Good Wish " which I've been looking at in the holiday catalogue and umming and ahhing if I should buy it, so Yay! I now have it! Got to work with it today and created these: they ended up just a tad Emerald Envy'ish!  Which strikes me as very Christmassy.  I've actually gone with In colours all the way with these 4 cards (and managed to use all the stamps in the set - go me!)  So the Red/pinky colour is Berry Bliss, the orange'y colour is Peekaboo Peach in the first card, I kind of felt that Peace needs a blue or green, Love is red or pink, a...
