Something Saturday - Peekaboo Diagonal Cut Card

Image
 Hi there Creators As I mention in the video I was having a bit of a nostalgic wander through my old catalogue (that retired on 6th May) and came across a page that had a couple of fun fold cards.  So here we are today, trying one of them out.....  Theirs is landscape, mine is portrait but the measurements would be pretty similar just having the fold of the card in a different place. Here is mine: as you can see it's kind of a card in a card.  I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite ,  although I confess I haven't used the stamps & dies in this particular card!  The suite has Stamps, dies, 2 embossing folders, bling, ribbon, and Designer paper, all for $138.25 which I think is pretty good! (and just think with the new rewards system, you'll then have $13.80 to spend on your next order - make sure you've opted in!) If you watched the video you'll know that I accidentally added glue to the wrong side of my designer paper, so I ended up making this card with ...

Cards for September Classes

Image
Hi there Creators,  almost into September!  My classes are on Wednesday 7th, at 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 8th 7pm Laanecoorie and Saturday 10th 10.30am in Maryborough. $20 to create 4 cards, let me know if you want to book your place. And here's what we'll be making..... First up we'll be using the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks , I love the effects you can get with these! You pick either the Hello Friend or the Happy Birthday, you can't see it terribly well but there is also bling on each of these (more understated in the "male" card) Next up is the Christmas Lights stamp set used on this card with the Brightest Glow stamps for the sayings  I admit to buying the Lights Aglow Suite as I liked everything that was in it and considering you get 9 items in the suite at $261 it's not bad value! (2 stamp sets, 2 die sets, 3 lots of specialty papers, ribbon and embellishments)  Ironically the Distressed Gold Specialty paper isn't part of it, but wai...

Something Saturday - Ripped Cards

Image
 Hi there Creators, today I was mulling over what it would look like if rather than curling the ends like I did to create the scroll cards, I just ripped the cardstock, I rather like the effect and *bonus* you get 2 cards out of one ripping session 🤣 (and let's face it there's a certain satisfaction gained from ripping paper! lol) Ok so the first 2 cards I'd made before the video, I had ripped kind of "triangles" out.  You'll need 2 pieces of Designer Paper (probably with a smallish pattern would be best), and you attach the ripped off pieces to one and the remainder to the other: The first card shows the piece that I ripped the bits out of, and the second is the ripped out pieces. I used designer paper and white cardstock that measured 9.5cm x 13.8cm that way I could add a mat if I wanted to of 10cm x 14.3cm (which I did in the second lot of cards)  I've gone with using the beautiful Hues of Happiness Designer Papers , and my "go to" sayings st...
