Cards for April

Hi there Creators,
Well almost at the end of March, and so here are the cards I'll be teaching in April.  The class dates are Wednesday 3rd 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 4th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, then Saturday 6th at 10am in Maryborough.  Do let me know if you plan to come to one of the classes (and haven't done so already).

Best start showing you the cards!  This first one uses the stunning Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which is currently a Sale-a-Bration item till the end of March, so spend $90 and you can choose it for FREE! (you can't purchase this one at the moment).  I've also used the Label Me Pretty Stamp set with Matching Pretty Label Punch, and the lovely chunky ribbon is Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon.

 

Card #2, I thought we hadn't used the Stampin' Blends for a while (don't forget if you're using the Blends they are alcohol markers so you need to use memento ink for your base lines so it doesn't smudge with the pens.  I really love the way this card came out, I've used the Serene Garden Stamp set and Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp set.

Moving onto the next card, I think I had a couple of triangle off-cuts lying on my desk, so then of course I played with them, and Oh light bulb!  a pinwheel card lol, I've used the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper, such lovely colours in it, and paired it up with the Sunshine Sayings Stamp set and some Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed sequins (they're so pretty).

And the last card, I was asked for more heat embossing, so I thought it would be fun to have 2 embossed colours together - gold and silver (hope it works in class lol)  I've used the Sheet Music Stamp set with the Better together stamp set.  thought this saying was somewhat appropriate to the background 😆

 

As the silver/gold embossing is not so obvious in the above photo thought I'd give a close up too, this Sheet Music Stamp is really one of my favourite stamps!

oh and as you can see from this photo I've used the rectangle stitched framelit dies too (such a useful set of dies)
Well that's it!  I hope if you can't make it to class these cards inspire you to create in your own space.

Interactive Class "Book Cards"

Hi there,
On 19th June 10.30am and 7.30pm I will be doing my Interactive Class (also available as a mail out class), and this month we are doing "Book Cards"  (mainly with new products *yay*)

This first card uses the stunning Stained Glass thinlits, and matching Painted Glass stamp set

 then inside you have the Sheet Music Stamp set, and I thought the saying "just a note" from Flourishing Phrases Stamp set (often a "go to" set for me) was rather appropriate lol

This second card uses the beautiful "Serene Garden Stamp set" on the inside, It reminded me of the sleeping beauty story book I had as a child

 Then on the outside I've used the matching Garden scene framelits, this one is an embossing die (how cool!!), and the smaller dragonfly from Detailed Dragonfly thinlits

As I mentioned at the beginning this is available as a class in my classroom on Tuesday 19th June (10.30am or 7.30pm)  for $20 or it is available as a mail out kit, I can't do the stamping for you, but I can cut and emboss all the relevant peices, this is available for $17 which includes postage.
Do let me know if you'd like to book into the class or order a kit.

I hope this inspires you to create!
God Bless love

Ideas for July's classes

Hi Everyone,
I missed out doing Christmas in July with you all, so I thought we could do a Christmas in August instead!, So here goes, I need some input with these, as we'll need to pick 4, and I'd rather they were chosen by you who are coming!
 #1:this one is for sure, because I really love it! and it shows you the baby wipe ink pad technique it uses the new Carols of Christmas stamp set, wow the sayings/fonts in this set are amazing!

#2 this one is growing on me, I wasn't sure that I liked it much when I first did it, but it does show another technique - Versamark resist, with the new/old Glossy White Cardstock. The stamp sets I've used are: Watercolor Words (always makes me cringe spelling colour that way lol) and Star of Light.

#3 Not sure if this is too busy, I really like it but then I'm prone to these colours lol!, and not sure if you can tell but the star in the middle is embossed with gold again using the Star of Light Stamp set Oh and the music notes in the background are the new Sheet Music Background Stamp, every time I see the saying "Star of wonder star of Night" my mind starts singing, so figured very appropriate with the musical notes lol!

#4: Oh Yes we're back to the Carols of Christmas stamp set and framelits this time, how cool are the cut out sky scene and the trees?  Oh and I don't know if you can see, but I've added sparkle to the trees in the form of Wink of Stella Clear.

Moving onto card #5, again I'm not sure how I feel about this card, I wanted to use up the trees that were cut out from the last card, but I'm not sure if the whole thing is a bit too white? what do you think? it does use the same saying as #2, so we can't do both of them!, Again the star and the saying are from the Star of Light Stamp set

#6: this card made me laugh, I just couldn't resist portraying Santa as a Chef, so it uses the ultra cute Stamp set Birthday Delivery and my little Santa, has gold mini sequin trim on his outfit, would have liked white, but didn't have anything I could think of:(  Oh and the saying and cute holly sprigs are from Oh What Fun stamp set

Ok, we're there!  as I was going to add one more, but realised it uses the same stamp as #1 and we're definitely doing that one! lol.
So, now I need you're input, which are your favourites?  Oh, and did you know that the blue writing in these posts are links to the product so you can see what else in the stamp set etc? - although I do recommend opening them in new tabs or windows, so you can carry on reading the blog!

Well that's it from me for now, please let me know which ones you like (hopefully at least 4 appeal!)
I hope it inspires you to create,
God Bless love
