Cards for August classes

 Hi there Creators,

Well isn't August sneaking up on us fast!  We're back to our usual 3 classes in August: Wed 3rd at 10.30am (Laanecoorie), Thursday 4th 7pm (Laanecoorie) and Saturday 6th 10.30am (Maryborough). $20 for the 4 cards - You need to book for Laanecoorie, Maryborough you can just turn up, (although it's nice for me to know approx numbers)

I hope you can come and join us (more the merrier!)

Anyway on to the cards for the month......

First up I'm using the fabulous Wonderful World (we only have till the end of August to use it, so I thought I'd better!)  It's a Sale-a-Bration set, and combined with the designer papers you need to spend $180 to get both the stamps and papers for free (no other way to get them 😢)  Combined with the Decorative Circle Punch, and the gorgeous Sequins & Gems (that seriously look all like gems rather than sequins! - so pretty!)

Moving on to more "prettiness" if that's a word - if not I'm going with it anyway lol.

This one uses the Splendid Day Specialty papers, and the scrolled back technique, with flowers from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set, cut out with the flowers & leaves punch

These next 2 are an either/or, this stamp set North Pole Mischief cracked me up when I saw it, and having cats and a dog in the family, it felt so appropriate!  I've used the Stitched Greenery Die in the background.

 

 

And last but not least, I'm still in love with this Snow Crystal stamp!  I've embossed it in black (gotta go the black ice 😉) then used the blending brushes to brush colour over it.  It really is a stunning stamp!

And that's it!  if you can't join us I do hope this inspires you to create.

Don't forget Sale-a-Bration is still on till end of August, so if you spend $90+ you get a free SAB product, or if you host a party, and the orders are $500+ you get the Perfect Pomegranate Stamp set for free, or you can join with the amazing choose $235 of goodies and only pay $169 plus you'll receive the beautiful Making Plans Collection (Planner/Notebook and stamp set)

 

God Bless love

Hydrangea Hill Cards for May

 Hi there Creators

the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper is so beautiful that I thought I'd make it a feature of the cards for our May class, plus I've added in a couple of new items......😊(which will be available from 4th May, yay!)

This first card uses some of the new Pale Papaya open weave ribbon (very pretty) and it's funny as when I first saw this colour I really didn't think much of it, but it's not as wishy washy as I thought it looked, it actually has a nice peachy tone to it.  Oh and the saying is from a new set too called "Elegantly Said"

The second card is this one, again new goodies, I've used some of the Pale Papaya card behind the saying, then there's also new stamp set and punch: Flowers of Friendship Stamps and matching Flowers & Leaves Punch (I like punches!)  and lastly there's the new Linen Specialty Paper, this was an interesting one, I didn't realise it's sticky backed, I rather like the way it allows the pattern of the paper to show through the linen, and I love the light texture it gives.  We're also saying a sad goodbye to Rococo Rose as it' retires on 3rd May making way for the new In Colours.  I've used it for my base card colour.

 

The last (and trickiest) card is this one, it looks deceptively simple from the outside (partly cos it is very simple on the outside),

but when you open it up there's this.......

Wow, I know right?

Anyway down to the nitty gritty, the class is either in person or by mail (you'll get a video of how to do the pop out bit if you choose by mail, as well as the usual instructions) Class cost $20 ($22.20 by mail to cover postage).  

If you choose "by mail" you'll need to stamp your own sayings and find some other flowers to use on card #2, but everything else will be ready for you.

Dates for class here in my classroom are Tuesday 11th 10.30am, Wednesday 12th 10.30am or Thursday 13th 7pm.  If you can't make one of those times/days and would rather do the class in person, then let me know and we'll work something out😊

Make sure you book your spot as classes can book up kind of fast!

If you're not up to joining in, I hope this inspires you to create at home!

God Bless love
