Something Saturday - Brightest Birthday Kit

Image
  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it:  I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action.  Its not a bad littl...

 Hi there Creators Wow we're at the end of the year again! my goodness that has come round fast!  Last card class for the year, of course focusing on Christmas cards.  Card class dates are: Maryborough: Saturday 2nd at 10.30am, then Wednesday 6th 10.30am and Thursday 7th at 7pm in my classroom in Laanecoorie.  Class cost is $24 for 4 cards - if you're coming please do let me know, and let's have a Christmas Celebration!  NB: the Maryborough class date is different to the one I originally had advertised as our Carol service at church is the following weekend and we have a rehearsal all day Saturday! Onto the cards: I had to use the Light the Sky bundle again, it's really one of my favourites! I've also discovered the absolutely gorgeous Rose Gold Specialty Paper , ummmm This next card I thought was kind of fun!  Using the Modern Oval punch to create the little bags, and the Merry Bold & Bright Designer paper , I felt it went well with the nice bold say...

Something Saturday - Merry Bold & Bright

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought we'd have a play with the cute Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper , I made up this card before the video: For this one I've ended up stamping the sentiment from Joy to You stamp set , then clear heat embossing over the top (if you stamp with a normal ink it will rub straight off vellum, so you have to set it in place).  I did initially stamp directly onto the cardstock, but discovered that the paper is a little bit too busy for that, and it didn't show up, but I love using vellum, as you can still see the images through it (it's like adding a "transparency shape" to a picture in Word, which I also love doing)  How cool is the White Iridescent ribbon ?  and you can see the little Iridescent Adhesive backed discs in the corners of the vellum (ooo goldfish..... shiny..... )🤣 Then in the video I end up making a sleeve/wrapping for a couple of blingy gifts I'm sending off to people, very simple, cut the cardstock t...
