Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Cards for May classes

Image
 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...

Something Saturday - Give it a Whirl Dies

Image
 Hi There Creators My video this week is on how to use the Give it a Whirl Dies (kind of wishing I'd got them sooner!)  Anyway I show off how I use them, and showed these first 2 cards that I'd created, since then I've made up the next 2, so it shows off all the 4 windows/apertures in the die set. This first card uses the Trees for Sale Stamp set  This second card uses the fabulous Alphabest bundle (stamps and punch)  I couldn't fit all the letters in a row, but I think it works ok lol. Then these last 2 are the ones I hadn't made up in the video, I went with Love, Joy and Peace in the rectangular peep hole, and embossed the front with the Whimsical Woodland 3D folder   Thought I'd better show you what I used to sandwich the 2 parts together, so the spinner piece will spin! these Foam Adhesive strips are so useful.       And I got the clouds in - Yay! lol this card I just added the designer paper to the whole wheel so as it moves round it's con...
