February class cards

Hi there Creators,
my goodness February is almost upon us!  Classes for Feb are: Wednesday 5th at 10.30am in Laanecoorie, and Thursday 6th 7.30pm in Laanecoorie (my classroom), then the other one is in Maryborough on Saturday 8th at 10am.  Love to have you join us if you can, but if you can't I hope you find inspiration in my offerings here:
I'm using a heap of the new goodies from the "mini" and Sale-a-Bration catalogues.  So let's get started!
First off the block: this paper is just gorgeous! it's called Best Dressed Designer Series Paper, it also has handbags, and shoes, accessories on other sheets too.  I've teamed it up with my fav new punch: Braided Border Punch, and the Sending You thoughts Stamp set, which has some fabulous sayings, and is a Sale-a-Bration product (you can't buy this one, when you spend $90 on other goodies, you can choose it for free)

 

 Next up:  this one uses the Birthday Jubilee stamp set and matching Jubilee Beauty dies, it's so pretty the trellis dies (there's 2 different ones in the pack, check them out by clicking on the link)

Card #3 I just had to buy this stamp set! Pedal to the Metal it's got a Ute, Buggy and motorbike (and with 3 boys - 4 including Tom (husband) it's the perfect set!), I've teamed it up with Let it Ride stamp set, I just think they go together well!

Then lastly I wasn't planning on getting this set, but after I saw someone else had used it and how gorgeous it was......  the Stone embossing folder and Power of Hope Stamp set are both Sale-a-bration items, in fact they come as a pair, so if you want them you'll need to find $180 of goodies to  purchase and pick these for free.  (actually not all that hard to do, finding $180 of goodies! lol)  anyway I've teamed it up with the lovely Woven Threads Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue, I think it works well for her dress, and I do love the saying! it means so much to me, as a Christian my faith is in God and He gives me hope to believe that all things are possible, which there are definite times in my life that I need that!

Well as Porky Pig says in the Looney Tunes Cartoons "That's all folks"!
I hope these cards inspire you to create!

New 2nd wave Sale-a-Bration goodies and more

Hi There Creators,
thought I'd drop in and show you a few things I've been creating recently.

After the class I had a few horse cards unfinished so one of them got turned into this, using some of  of the other stamps in the Let It Ride stamp set, to do this I've ended up cutting out more stencils, 2 for the single horse and one for the 2 background horses, so that I could stamp the trees into the background  I think it's kind of cool having the 2 galloping away in the foreground, what do you think?

 

 There is a second wave of Sale-a-bration products available from tomorrow 15th Feb, and this card that I have made up as my "tag" card for the month uses some of them.  I've used the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folder, which is so pretty!  I've used Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive daubers to lightly daub over the raised pattern. For those of you receiving it I've left it white for you to add your own colour to it.  The tag itself is made using the beautiful stamps in the Painted Season Bundle, and also the really useful Rectangle Stitched Framelit dies (have you noticed them? they're on page 28 in the catalogue) and I've just realised that they bundle together with the Amazing Life Stamp set!

always good when things bundle and you get 10% off!

I also thought I'd show you the "one sheet wonder" type sheet I created to cut the stamped tags from, as it really lends itself to a one sheet wonder this stamp set!  I stamped up the whole A4 sheet (and I have some left over, so I'm planning to see how many cards I can make out of it!)  aren't the flowers so pretty though?

Ok moving on....  actually lets not move on too much as I also made up another card with the same stamp set, slightly ironic as the main reason I went ahead and got the set is for the Pine cone and I haven't used it yet!  I wasn't sure I'd like the flowers so much, but I really do! this card I took the flowers and stamped them on the card, then stamped them a couple more times on scrap card, and cut out the bits to create a Paper Tole type image, layered up with dimensionals.  The saying are from the beautiful Dear Doily Stamp set (more about that too in a mo!)

thought I'd show you a close up of the flowers (because I can lol)

Then we'll flow onto the Dear Doily stamp set.....which conveniently comes as a bundle too.  And Oh My Goodness!  it is awesome! however I don't have anything with the dies to show you just yet, as all I've done is cut them out in white card and ooh and Aah over them lol, but I did make up this simple card with the stamps, as it's so delicate I was looking around for a ribbon to go with it and thought this one was perfect - it's the Whisper White 5/8" flax ribbon, although it's chunky it has the right amount of delicacy for this card, I think it's the slightly see through nature of the ribbon.  Colours I've used with this are Balmy Blue, Mint Macaron and Petal Pink, which has a slightly coral/orange'y hue to it.

Well I think that's it for now, do let me know if you have any questions, or you're interested in placing an order but unsure how.  Don't forget for every $90 you order till the end of March you get to pick a free Sale-a-Bration product YAY!
Thanks for reading this, and if you're not on my e-mailing list and would like to be, do let me know!
Happy Creating
God Bless love
