Something Saturday - Peekaboo Diagonal Cut Card

Image
 Hi there Creators As I mention in the video I was having a bit of a nostalgic wander through my old catalogue (that retired on 6th May) and came across a page that had a couple of fun fold cards.  So here we are today, trying one of them out.....  Theirs is landscape, mine is portrait but the measurements would be pretty similar just having the fold of the card in a different place. Here is mine: as you can see it's kind of a card in a card.  I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite ,  although I confess I haven't used the stamps & dies in this particular card!  The suite has Stamps, dies, 2 embossing folders, bling, ribbon, and Designer paper, all for $138.25 which I think is pretty good! (and just think with the new rewards system, you'll then have $13.80 to spend on your next order - make sure you've opted in!) If you watched the video you'll know that I accidentally added glue to the wrong side of my designer paper, so I ended up making this card with ...

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 Pa...

Hi Everyone, Well, there is a new Challenge over on the INKspiration Facebook Page !  As my aim is to join in with as many as possible, I had a spare moment or two today, so here we are! I have an aim to go through all my stamp sets and use them all my at least twice!, as I'm finding that  a lot of them I used heaps when I first got them, and now they've made their way to the bottom of the pile, and kind of get forgotten about, in preference of the new and shiny!  I still love this stamp set "Garden in Bloom" though! Oh I'd better tell you what the challenge is! So the challenge is to use these colours: Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky, Mint Macaron, Whisper White and Garden Green.  My plan was to watercolour on shimmery white cardstock, umm didn't go so well!  So instead I watercoloured on watercolour paper, used the Decorative Label Punch for the saying, and created this:   which I like, but as I'd also used Stazon black and the new gorgeous...
