Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Team Afternoon

Hi everyone, well today we had a team afternoon, I thought I'd show you all the 2 cards we all made. First of all I showed the ladies how to create a Magic Slider card,  like this (this one I'll be teaching at Bendigo Craft Alive over the 16th/17th and 18th June in a class each day) those who are in my team will have access to the full video I made of it as it's now on our team FB page.  Then I showed them how to use the Lovely Laurel Thinlits to create the inside of cards like this Lastly we made up a couple of cards with new products: this first card uses the Pretty Label Punch with the Label Me Pretty Stamp set And this other card uses the Lovely Words thinlits, and some of the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper, and the new hostess set Background Bits.  We did have fun today! if you fancy joining my team, do ask me for more details, or check out the Page above (Join my team the CreateAbles), there is an exciting Stampin' Up! event coming up i...

Sneak Peek time!

Hi Everyone, Yay my BBB's came! (short for Big Brown Box) yep they're in a wheelbarrow! had to pick them up from the postbox, and they were too heavy to just carry them (had 8 boxes of catalogues in there too) So if you'd like a catalogue let me know! Anyway these arrived on Wednesday about 1/2 hour before the kids came home - eek that doesn't give much play time!!  However I managed to squeeze a little play, so thought I'd share them with you, here goes...... this first set caught my eye when I first flicked through the new catalogue, it's called Crafting Forever, how cool are the pens/scissors/paint brushes and pot, and of course the saying!  I really felt the scissors needed to be cutting some DSP!  Oh and it's all new colours too (Yay!) Ok next up is this: This uses a stamp set called Daisy Delight, and a new punch - Delightful Daisy, Oh and new ribbon.... and new Faceted Gems (so cool) Righty Ho onto the last card I was able to create in t...
