June's Class Cards

 Hi There Creators

I'm sure I say this at the end of each month, but where did May go to?!  can't believe we're almost 1/2 way through the year already.

June's classes are on Wednesday 1st at 10.30am and Thursday 2nd at 7pm both in Laanecoorie in my classroom, then also on Saturday 4th at 10.30am in Maryborough.

Some of my "new stuff" came, and of course it's hard to resist using it lol

This first card uses the gorgeous Starry Sky Ink and Natures Prints bundle of Stamps with matching dies  for a list of what I've used check out this link:  What Heather used

 

Next up are the fish.... Using A Fish and a Wish Bundle (Stamps and Punch) No new colours in this one, just some lovely brights. Along with the beautiful bright Glossy Dots Assortment.  Check out all the goodies I used here:   What Heather Used

I thought I should use a stamp set that has had very little use (at least out of my stamp sets)  In the Moment Stamp Set, I've done a spot of Paper Piecing on the girl and teamed her up with the Beautiful Shapes Dies for the saying.  To see what I used click here: What Heather Used

And Lastly is this one, I seem to be surrounded by people who are actually quite good at gardening (I'm not!) however I can make a card for someone who is lol...  so here I've used the Home & Garden Bundle along with the Butterflies & Flowers masks.  Check out what I used here: What Heather Used

Looking forward to seeing whoever can make it to the classes (make sure you book your place - especially in Laanecoorie)  Let me know which is your favourite!

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Night Sky Pastels

 Hi there Creators,

Continuing on our Pastels journey, I have "night sky" pastels to show you this week, I was amazed at how well the pastels show up on dark cardstock.

Here are the cards I made up....

this first one I made up with a black background, and really wanted it to be looking out of a window (this is when I wish I had Window Flower Box dies)  however I used the exceedingly useful Stitched Rectangle dies instead😃, as I wanted it to look like the inside of a shed I've "hung" a few tools off the window sill (courtesy of the Home & Garden bundle) and used the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder for the wall.

then this is the card I made up in the video (couple of photos as I couldn't make up my mind which was better 🤣), Here is the link to the products I used in this one: What Heather Used

So, down to the nitty gritty, how do you do this?

Take a dark coloured cardstock (I used Night of Navy in the video), then lightly grate pastels onto it (I used a serrated knife to scrape mine), which creates a dust of colour on your card, I used Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and a bit of Night of Navy (not sure that one showed up on this, but it works on the black).

Take a piece of baking paper, and carefully cover the dust, press it down well into your card (I used my bone scorer) try not to move it as you do this or you end up with it smudging.

Take some hairspray, and spray this over the card (this will set the pastel in place, otherwise it will wipe off) let it dry then decorate your card however you wish.

Check out the video here:

 I hope this inspires you to create!

God Bless love
