October Class Cards

Hi there Creators,
Wow October already tomorrow!  As I usually do I'm working my way up to having 4 Christmas cards in the selection by December, so we did 1 last month, this month we're up to 2 😊
The classes for October are this coming Saturday 5th in Maryborough at 10am, then Thursday 10th at 10.30am in Laanecoorie and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie. (Please note there is NO Wednesday class this month).

Ok so onto the cards.....  First up I wanted to use some of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers, this one is the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP, and the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set I fell in love with everything on page 31, and conveniently enough Stampin' Up! have put it all together in the Christmas Gleaming suite - Yay!

 The other Christmas card for the month is this one, again using Designer Series Paper, this time you get a choice either Night before Christmas or Feels like Frost, have to admit I'm loving the Designer Series Papers available at the moment!  I've also used the fabulous Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp set, it has such a great selection of Christmas sayings!

Moving on to non-christmassy cards.....
I think this Memorable Mosaic Stamp set is quite fascinating, I've teamed it up with my sponge brayers (conveniently you get 2 of them) and Rooted in Nature (for the large saying)

then the last card for the month is this one using a stamp set I haven't used for a while, Painted Harvest, it's such a pretty flower when it's built up (and it makes it really easy to line up if you add it to the Stamparatus)  Also introducing the Heirloom Embossing folder which I haven't used in class before, and the saying comes from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set

So there we go, that is our line up for October!  I hope if you can't make it to class that these cards inspire you to create in your own space. 
If you happen to live near Wedderburn and are keen to do these cards, let me know as I am doing a private class over that way mid-month.
God Bless love

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

Cards for class in October

Hi Everyone,
As next month is not far off, thought I'd share with you the cards for these 3 classes - Sat 7th 10am in Maryborough:  Wednesday 11th - 10am Kangaroo Flat and 7.30pm Laanecoorie.

As Christmas is not far away (gulp!) We have 2 Christmas projects. I'm starting with my favourite card for October!  This uses the gorgeous "Painted Harvest" flower as a wreath, and I just love it!  also uses the Hardwood Stamp in the background, and one of the sayings from Snowflake Sentiments.

The other Christmas "project" as oppose to a card is this: I thought it would be a nice change to make up a little gift box, this stocking is a little pillow box, I have used the matching stamp set that comes in a bundle with the dies, called: Tags & Trimmings Bundle.

 Card #3 been meaning to use this stamp set Floral Phrases again for a while now, and with the Designer Series Paper that looks so similar, I thought why not make my own Designer Series Paper with it?  What do you think? I've used Rich Razzleberry and  I really like the freshness of Lemon Lime Twist with it! the saying is from Eastern Beauty Stamp set, also the front of the card is cut using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, cool eh?

Card #4 uses the new Hostess only FREE set (Free with orders of $450+) the set is called Merry Patterns and it's designed as a Christmas set, but I think it can work as a Birthday set too! what do you think?  I've paired it up with Birthday Delivery Stamp set for the saying and balloons

Merry Patterns is such a cool set, it is a double stampin' set, so it has outlines, then infill stamps, I've turned the candle flames upside down to create the chain of lights along the top of the card 😀  I think it works for male or female cards!

Let me know which is your favourite of these cards.

I hope this inspires you to create, and if you live nearby, I'd love to see you at one of my classes, do let me know if you can make it.

God Bless love

Tag Card for September

Hi Everyone,
thought I'd share with you my "Tag Card" for this month.  When you place an order with me, on your bag you will have a tag, I have been giving everyone components to make this tag into a card for a few months now, so I thought I'd share the one for this month.

This one uses the cute new stamp set "Santa Paws" with the Duet Banner Punch, and the gorgeous Bundle of Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, and the ultra pretty Gold Metal Edged Ribbon.
If this card appeals to you, place an order with me, and you will receive it to create!

I guess I'd better share last months card too - lol, (bit late, sorry but better late than never!)

This card uses the Painted Harvest bundle (Photopolymer Stamp set and matching leaf punch)

Have you checked out the new Holiday Catalogue yet? Here is the link to it Holiday Catalogue.  Or if you'd prefer a "hard copy" just let me know and I'll get one to you :)

I hope these cards inspire you to create
God Bless love

Cards for Regular Classes in September

Hi Everyone
Gee we're almost at the end of August already!  On 1st September the new Holiday catalogue is officially released (yay!)  If you are coming to one of my classes next month, I will have them ready for everyone to have one, if not and you'd like me to send you a catalogue - let me know!
Class dates are: Maryborough Sat 2nd 10am, Kangaroo Flat Wed 6th 10.30am, and Laanecoorie Wed 13th 7.30pm.

Ok, well, I may have delved into the new catalogue for a couple of our cards this month lol
first up, one of my new favourite stamps: Painted Harvest:

this is one of those 2 step stampin' sets where you stamp one image then the next one directly over top, for the flower and for the leaves (Oh it's so pretty!)  and, get this, there's a punch that goes with the leaves! (how exciting!!, it comes as a bundle too 😃)

Card #2 New stuff again *Hooray!!*

Thought we'd better have a Christmas card in the mix as it's leading up to Christmas (only 4 months!) this one uses the new SnowFlake Sentiments, beautiful set! (the dies that go with it are gorgeous too)  Also used Versmark resist technique on this one, with the glossy cardstock, and a touch of Silver Metallic edge ribbon

Card #3, I saw someone else had used the daisy punch to create a cute skirt for the dancing girl in "Beautiful You", and I just couldn't resist trying it myself, so here's my version

Isn't she gorgeous?, then I've used the Lovely Laurel Thinlits and the Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon.

Ok, last but not least, I dug out the Paisleys and Posies Stamp set, and my new Happy Birthday Die

this one has a bit of a fancy fold, and I love the effect of colouring in some of the inside of the stamps with the white. And the Happy Birthday really stands out fabulously (I think)

Which is your favourite?
I hope these cards inspire you to create in your space, and I'd love to see anyone who can make it to my classes - let me know if you need more details.

God Bless love
