Something Saturday - Triple Ripped Card

Image
Hi there Creators I saw a quick link thingo of a card on Facebook, and sort of noted what she did - which was really cool, so set about having a go and I have no idea if it's the same as I can't remember what it was called or who had done it, but it worked out well anyway, and now I get to share it with you🤣 So here we are...... You might recognise this one as it's one in my "card conglomerate" of Mega Class cards for 19th July (if you're keen to come to the Mega class or get it as a mail order class, you've got till 2nd July to book your spot) check out the blog post on the class here: July Mega Class Then in the video I made up the "bones" of this card, which I've then stamped up using the Inspiring Imperfections bundle (great stamp set & dies) For the base I've used the Misty Moonlight two-tone cardstock, it's kind of cool as it has the same colour on both sides, just one light and one darker.  I've cut this to 9" x ...

Cool! watercolour pencils on black card

Image
Hi Creators, I was thinking about a gorgeous technique I've done before that uses white embossing on black cardstock then you use the aqua painter to add white craft ink to the design, allow it to dry a bit, then add colour over the top, (it's a little time consuming) and I was wondering if I could produce any other ways of colouring on Black card (I'm sure others have done this too, but I haven't noticed it).  So......enter the Watercolor Pencils , yep they're spelt missing the 'u' in the catalogue (it's an American thing!) although its really hard to spell color that way when you're so used to spelling it colour! lol However moving on if you're a regular reader of my blog you'll notice that in my class this month we're using this technique on this card: however I decided to make a video on it, and thought I'd use a different set, that doesn't have quite so much to colour in (keep the video shorter).  This next photo shows ...

GDP164 Entry

Hi Stampers I've been meaning to enter the Global Design Project Challenge for a while, I did a few quite a long time ago, and keep getting the emails and forgetting, so this time it went on my list!, and I combined it with my thankyou card for the month!, so if you order from me in November, you can expect to receive this at some point. However first up, the challenge...... This time it's a CASE "Copy and Selectively Edit" by Louise Sharp, here is her card. I liked the layout of her card, so that is what I chose to go with for mine, I've also included a "sneak peek" of a new product called "Bloom by Bloom, which I received (for free) recently at the Stampin' Up! conference called "On Stage"  and here it is..... I made 2 versions one in White and one in Vanilla, so then of course had to use 2 different ribbons! I think I prefer the white with the polka dot tulle ribbon over the Vanilla with the Calypso Coral Ombre Ribbon,...

Interactive Cards for August (Waterfall Cards)

Image
Hi There As the title says, this month we are doing Waterfall cards on Thursday 23rd August, as it is a mail out as well as "in person" class I have tried to limit the amount of stamping involved as I can't mail out pre-stamped bits for people, so if you do order this as a mail out kit, you'll just need to find a couple of appropriate sayings from your stache! Having said that I'll tell you what I used :) So the first card I just couldn't resist using this really cute Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper  I thought it was such a cute card that the saying "just a note to lift your spirits" from Lift Me Up Stamp set went so well with it. The next card almost said Hello, but then I changed it to HB2U, seemed more "useable" like this. this one uses the beautiful Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper , and the fabulous Large Letters Framelit dies, with a quick hark back to the Large numbers (no longer available)  And I...

Hi there, Amazing isn't it how the year is just rushing past?  I have the cards sorted for August, Class dates are Saturday 4th in Maryborough at 10am, then Wednesday 8th in Laanecoorie at 10.30am and 7.30pm Here they are, I'm hard pushed to choose a favourite this month, but this first one might be it!  it uses the beautiful "Healing Hugs" stamp set, and I had to use the new gorgeous purples!  Gorgeous Grape, and Highland Heather (oh what a good name lol) This would have to come a close second, how cute is this little platypus? he's from the stamp set Postcard Pals .  Using spot of paper piecing, so bring your specs/glasses to class! I thought he teamed up rather well with the Seaside Embossing Folder , what do you think?  Next is this dinky little card made using the Whisper White Narrow Note Cards and Envelopes , and Oh my goodness! the stunning Petal Promenade designer Series Paper , and not forgetting the Darling Label punch box which comes with ...
