Well today I get to play around with some more new goodies (available on 5th May if you're not a "demonstrator") Tempted to join my team? you can get new goodies early, plus you get a discount on them (win, win!!) Check out this info Join my Team
I'm showing off a few of my new goodies, but the one I end up playing with in the video is Floral Spray 3D Embossing folder, its a big 6" x 8" folder and really gorgeous!
Here's what I end up creating with what I made during the video:
I did create 2 frames using the Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine Cardstocks then it's mounted onto a Crisp Cantaloupe A4 card, added a bit of Wink of Stella (which you can't really see in the photo!), and that's it!
I also had a play around with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder, using the same technique to ink up the smooth side of the folder then run it through the Cut & Emboss Machine I ended up making another larger card than normal so I could show off most of this fabulous embossing folder, accompanied with a bit of Old Olive Specialty RickRack ribbon.
Then last but not least I made up the Eyelet Blooms Die Cut piece into a card, this big die is the Product of the Month for April, - you need to purchase $125+ then you can pick it for $9, It is really pretty, and I love that you get a whole card front from it! The Pearlized Faceted Circles work so well in the middle of the raised flowers
If you missed the video and want to check it out - here it is!😃
Here are the cards for 2 regular classes on Friday 10th 1pm in Laanecoorie and Saturday 11th April 10.30am Maryborough (set back a week due to Easter)
This is probably my favourite one, I think maybe it's the simplicity of it! I've used the Cutest Crew Stamp set (which does come as a bundle with dies - well worth it!)
Then onto the Springtime Scenes Bundle (the dies I'm using in my April CreateAlong that I have already started email people about - so if you're not on my email list make sure you add yourself!)
Then last but not least using this cute March Product of the Month Stamp set (that is still available) Notes of Spring Stamps, and the OH MY GOODNESS - you have to check this out Garden Textures Specialty Foil Sheets! hence I ended up making one in each colour - if you're at the class you'll need to pick one! 😮 Plus, you'll be learning a new way to use the brayer too.
And that's it, make sure you book your spot, the class is $30 or free with an order of $35, so check your catalogue or online before you come, and make up your wish list!
Hope you can join me, and these cards inspire you to create
I wanted to show you this really easy way to create a mitred corner, and display both sides of the Designer Series Paper at the same time.
Just quickly, in the video I show off some of the cards I made in the Virtual Card Retreat, it is still available if you want to check it out here is the link: Virtual Card Retreat. I also mention an offer coming up on 3rd Feb where you can score the BRAND NEW Stampin' Positioner Tool before anyone else, when you join Stampin' Up! Ironically mine arrived yesterday - the day after I recorded the video (and before I got to writing this up🤣) so stay tuned for next week! but here's a little teaser: Stampin' Positioner and if you wonder why it's worth joining Stampin' Up!, check this out: Feb Exclusive Join offer. I joined for the discount 18 years ago! (I still love it for the discount, especially when new goodies come out and I think there's so much I want how can I afford everything on my list, then I remember the discount!🤣😉💖)
Oh and I think I forgot to mention that coming up on 21st Feb is my CreateAlong Video, if you want a kit to go with it, you'll need to order that before 3rd Feb, contact me for payment details.
Last time I made these mitred cards, I was using the Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Papers, which I actually didn't expect to like as much as I do!🤣 I've also used the January "Product of the Month" stamp set - Fabulous Sayings, I have to admit I wish it was a regular item, as has such a great font for the words, and are really useful wordings! If you haven't got it yet, you need to place an order for $125 and you can pick it out for $9 (totally worth it in my humble opinion!) And, if you get your order in within the next couple of days (before 2nd Feb) you'll qualify for Bonus Day's Vouchers - this is where for every $90 you order, you get a $9 voucher to spend next month! (woo hoo!)
Anyway in the video, I made up this card with it's matching envelope: using the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper, I had originally made the border 1/2" but then it felt too bulky, so cut it down to 1/4" and used the cut off pieces to create the border on the envelope (win, win!)
I couldn't resist creating more with this gorgeous paper...... this card made in the same way with the mitred corners, I just love being able to display both sides of the specialty paper!
Then, I just had to create 4 more to show off the other pieces of paper in the range🤣, Humm now to create something for them to go into...........maybe next weeks video, we'll see!
So, how to create these mitred corners? really simple:
Take your piece of Designer Paper (with different patterns on each side) cut it down to the size you want (if you want the border to be 1/4" you'll need to add 1/2" to the finished size)
eg: if you want the finished size to be 5" x 3" you'll need to cut the paper to 5 1/2" x 3 1/2"
Then score 1/4" all the way round the 4 edges of your paper, and snip off a triangle from each of the corners (making sure the mid point is the scored cross), fold the cardstock and stick it down.
If that was as clear as mud and you missed the video, here it is:
Well I have no idea what this card is meant to be called so I'm calling it a Stair strips card kind of because it's made of strips and looks like stairs (Heather logic🤣).
I'm using last months Product of the Month which was these True Blue Florals papers at time of writing this, they are still available, if you do a $125 order you can pick them for $9😃 However for the first 5 people who place a $75 order before postage this month you'll get a pack of 6x6 sheets (1 of each design) as a thankyou from me. And don't forget to check out January's Product Of The Month! Definitely worth the order in my humble opinion!
Anyway onto my "Stair Strips Card" I taught in the video today
Base Card A4 length x 10cm, scored at 3.7cm and 7.4cm in each side.
Base (Shaded Spruce) Strips: 14.8cm x 10cm cut into 2.5cm strips
Designer paper Strips: 13.8cm x 8cm
Plus Designer paper to go inside your card: 14.3cm x 9.5cm
White to go inside your card 13.3cm x 8.5cm
the Base Strips get cut at; 2 strips at 4cm, and the other 2 strips at 6cm
the Designer Strips get cut at: 2 strips at 3.5cm and the other other 2 strips at 5.5cm
Then assemble your card, if the pattern is really obvious on the Designer Paper, make sure you keep it in the right order!
If you missed the video here it is:
And if you're wondering when my February Classes are that I showed you the cards for, they're on 6th & 7th Feb, make sure you've signed up for my emails to get the details about them (and there is a blog post on here about them too dated 9th Jan)
