Something Saturday - Hooray for Honeycomb Kit

Image
 Hi there Creators, Today I thought we'd take a look at one of the new Kits that Stampin' Up! has brought out, it's really fun!, the name "honeycomb" kind of gives it away🤣 There are 9 cards to create, and it's a nice simple kit, would make an excellent gift for anyone who is thinking of starting off with card-making, there's no stamping involved - it's all "stick it together" and everything is included to do this.  At $32 it works out to $3.56 per card (which let's face it is pretty cheap for a card these days!) So here are the cards you can make (3 of each): Don't you just love the matching envelopes? The front of each card has clear embossed shiny bits on it (most obvious on the rainbow card at the top! with my photography) And there you have it, I haven't had the chance to play around and see what else I can create with this kit yet, so if you get it and do play around, let me know what you do! If you missed the video here it

 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 P

Something Saturday - Night Sky Pastels

Image
  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
