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...

Cards for November Classes

 Hi There Creators Well we're getting closer to November so thought I'd better share the cards we'll be creating at classes on Tues 5th 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 7th 7pm Laanecoorie and Saturday 9th 10.30am Maryborough😃 In the class you'll create all 4 cards for $24 (and have a fabulous social time!) So, here goes, as it's November we're up to 3 Christmas Cards. This is the only Non-Christmassy one, Oh my goodness how gorgeous is this paper?! This is the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper , which goes so beautifully with this Blackberry Bliss & Gold Ribbon , and the Spotlight on Nature Dies , which are possibly the most useful dies I have Now we're onto a clear run of Christmas Cards.  I love this look, where it looks like you're looking up in the middle of a forest, I've used a stamp from the fabulous Christmas Wishes Kit, for the saying and the trees are from Peaceful Evergreens . Next up is this rather cute tree from the Decorative Tre...

Something Saturday - Amazing Trifold Card

Image
 Hi There Creators I saw this really cool card on a Facebook reel, it was done so quickly, that when I came to try it it took me an awful lot of rewinds to get it right 🤣  So I figured I could do it a little slower to show you all how to make it too.  Here are the photos of the cards I created: The first card I used the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper , so pretty! Then the card I made in the video uses Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper with Pebbled Path Cardstock, I think it looks really elegant!  I ended up making it into a sympathy card, as my Step Dad passed away, so I needed a lovely card to send to my Mum (hope she likes it!)  I love the way the bird freeze goes through the panels of the card. And now for the measurements..... the way I made it in my video: (this is the metric version I worked out) You will need a base card (A5) scored in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then trim 5cm off one side (so you only have a 1/2 flap at the front) Next you need the "mec...
