Tag Card for April, Bottles & Bubbles

Hi There,
Thought I'd do a couple of quick videos for you on how to put your tag card together this month, and part of how I've created the "thankyou" card, which was quick doing the videos, then I've waited the whole day for them to upload to u-tube, and the internet is running like a slug! (and it's not Turbo for those of you who have seen the kids video!) lol, so finally I think I'm there 😁

Just before I get into that *hot news!* the Clearance Rack has just been updated with a heap of reduced products, check them out here: Clearance Rack  if you do put an order in use the open hostess code for the month SBN2669E for a chance to win the FREE GOODIES!

However photos first.... this is the card you'll be able to make with your tag: this uses the Bottles & Bubbles bundle (which is only a bundle till the end of the current catalogue, after that you'll pay 10% more to get the dies and stamps!)  also uses the Celebrate You thinlit dies, which will be returning to the new annual catalogue from the Sale-a-bration catalogue, and the (sadly retiring) Lovely Words thinlit dies.

 And one of these will be the card you receive as a thankyou from me :)  This one uses the gorgeous Painted Harvest Stamp set, and the Stitched Shapes framelit dies.

Then on to the videos...... first up how to put together your "tag" card

And then.......

I hope you enjoy these videos, and they inspire you to create!
God Bless love

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 in November in Melbourne (so join soon!!)

I hope you're as excited as I am to be able to order from the new catalogue in 2 days time!
and I hope this inspires you to create.

Card for June's Classes

Hi Everyone,
Yea! I'm organised enough to be able to post the cards that we'll be making in June, the dates for classes this month are Saturday 3rd June at 10am in Maryborough, Wednesday 7th at 10.30am in Kangaroo Flat, and Wednesday 7th June 7.30pm in Laanecoorie,    I'll confirm that in an email to everyone!  I'll also being going down to Geelong well Corio to be exact to do a class down there (that's on Monday 5th June) if you're interested in that class let me know and I'll contact the lady who's organising it to see how much extra space there is.

If you've missed the excitement, the new catalogue is going to be released on 1st June, therefore I have been able to use a heap of *new stuff* how exciting!!
 First up is this card using the new Daisy punch, and the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper (so you'll have a choice what goes down the bottom) and there is a lovely stamp set that goes with it too, which is what the saying and the tiny flowers are from "Daisy Delight stamp set".

 

Card #2 is this one using the Colourful Seasons Stamp set, and the Pretty Label Punch, I rather liked the way the flowers on the branch look a bit Japanese'ish', and we'll have fun creating the scallops on the side of the card (trust me......)

 Card #3 now we're mixing in some of the current stuff with new stuff....  there is this new set of 3 dies "Lovely Words thinlits", behind it I've used the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper, the pretty flower on the right is from a new hostess set called Feathery Friends (makes sense when you see the whole set, lol) and the saying in the left hand corner is from Thoughtful Banners and uses the Duet Banner Punch to cut it out (and yeah I finally got to link something to my store LOL! Oh currently the stamp set and Banner punch come as a bundle till 1st June, so you can get 10% off them with that!

Ok, we're up to the last card! wow doesn't time fly fast! again this is a mixture of new and old (having said that the "old" stamp set is actually new to me)  anyway, the saying is from Watercolour Words  (oh the computer and I are going to have all sorts of issues with how to spell colour - lol)  The other "old" thing is the Balloon bouquet Punch, then we move onto new stuff😀 Wood Words for the bits in the balloons and Seasonal Layer Thinlits for the chair.

The jury is out at the moment as to which is my favourite of these cards, although I'm veering towards the last one with the chair and #2 the Japanese'y' one, which are your favourites?

Oh and please could someone have another go at posting a comment on my blog as I still don't seem to have received any, and I'm a bit worried that my settings aren't right!  Thanks

I hope this inspires you to create,
God Bless love

Sneak Peek time again :)

Hi Everyone,
thought I'd show you a couple more cards I've been having a go at with my new stamp sets from the upcoming 2017/18 Annual Catalogue. Oh, before I forget, please could someone try and comment on my blog, as nobody has for ages, and I'm a bit concerned that I've locked something!

First up this card uses the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Colourful Seasons Stamp Set and the matching Colour Theory Designer Series Paper - love these snowflake dies (so delicate) Oh and the branch is a die too!

 Next is this card, again using the Colourful Seasons Stamp set, and there's a new set of 3 word dies, "Lovely Words" obviously this one is "friend" lol!

Ok, what else do I have to show you? Oh yes this one, isn't it sweet? how cute are the little birds? Its one of the new hostess stamp sets (Feathery Friends) and I've used all the new colours Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, and Fresh fig (also with a bit of Peekaboo Peach and Sweet sugarplum😉

And lastly I was playing around with doing magic slider cards, as I thought it would make a fun card to teach at Bendigo Craft Alive (which incidentally the dates are Friday 16th to Sunday 18th June)  I won't be teaching this particular slider card, as I have a better (in my opinion) one! this one uses Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper.

I do have a son (Samuel) who loves dinosaurs, so I thought he'd enjoy seeing this one! having said that I've just realised that I haven't finished off the top!  oops, probably as I'm waiting to order a specific punch to use, but I can't order it till the 1st June (Oh the wait!!)

Ok well that's it for now, I'd best be off to bed!  Hope this inspires you to have a go, and someone/anyone!  please comment below to prove that I can have comments on my blog 😀

God Bless love
