Hi there, Well after Slider Cards last month, we're now onto Double Slider Cards, slightly different in that there's no "pop-up" element, but totally cool!  The class is on Thursday 18th October, as usual this class is available as a mail out class $17 mailed out, or as an In Person class $20, I'll be providing full instructions and doing a video to go with it. However I'm pretty sure you want to see the cards lol Card #1 is this cute quirky elf card using the cute Santa's Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper ..... this is it closed then pull on the side sticking out, and voila..... then Card #2 is this more elegant card, using the Hometown Greetings Edgelits , the Merry Christmas to All bundle , and the Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint (ooo love that Shimmer paint lol) And then opened, you can pull on either side and the other side slides open too and a little video to show them in action.... Do let me know if you're keen to be part of t...

Hi There, Only 4 days to go till the new Holiday Catalogue goes live!  Unless of course you're a demonstrator, in which case you'll most likely have ordered from it already!  (If you'd like to find out about becoming a demonstrator and joining my rapidly growing team, just ask :) HOWEVER!  I'm here today to introduce you to the Shimmer Paints that are in the new Holiday Catalogue (if you have one they're on page 38)  Gotta tell you Vegas Gold closely followed by Bright Copper are my favourites. I have done a video for you on how you can use the new shimmer paints as they're kind of hidden away on the page, and they're so fabulous that I figured you'd need a few tips. They are waterbased, but you can heat set them for use on fabric (haven't shown that in the vid), let's just move onto it...... I hope you find this video useful, and do let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in a video. I hope it inspires you to create,...

Hi There By now those who I've mailed out the Holiday catalogue to should have received them - let me know if you haven't got a copy and you want one!  It starts on the 5th September (unless you're a demonstrator, in which case you can order now!) Yay! Some of you will have received a card with your catalogue that showcases the Timeless Tidings Stamp set, if you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll remember a few posts back this Timeless Tidings Project Kit I showed you (Still in love with it, it's such amazing value for money and such stunning cards!). Just in case you didn't receive the card, I thought I'd show it to you now, and also a "Stepped Up" version, when I go to Stampin' Up! events they often mention "stepping up" your cards, I really should do this more often, it was fun! lol. Here is the first nice simple version: My idea behind this was to show something that anyone could do, doesn't require lots of...

Hi there As promised I'm back again to show you the Make&Takes that I created for our team day. Initially I'd planned just to make one, but got a bit carried away, 3 later thought I'd better stop! lol  My initial idea was to make one of the new cute little "Takeout Treats" boxes using the matching stamp set "Take Out Treats", so we did make this one: Gotta tell you that ribbon is so soft! it's called Merry Merlot & Copper 5/8" reversible ribbon, and it's so beautiful! Then I kind of felt that really we should try out the other 2 new embossing folders from the new Holiday Catalogue! (having used the Swirls and Curls one in Jenny's card) Hence this card came in to being.  Using the new Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder, also the Merry Christmas Thinlit dies, the Oh my goodness so amazing! "Shimmer Paints"  (do you get that I really like the shimmer paints? lol)  I've also added some of...

Hi there, Can you believe it? the Holiday Catalogue is almost ready to go live on 5th September!  And guess what? I've got some of the new products (shhh!)  Well actually as a demonstrator I get to pre-order some of the new stuff (so exciting).  So I thought I'd share with you some of the bits I've had a go at making. First up I want to show you the absolutely stunning Timeless Tidings Project Kit.  I never used to be into the Project kits but they seem to be getting better and better (either that or I just love the fact I can whip up cards in next to no time and these ones I don't even have to think about!)  Just an extra comment before you get to see them, I happened to be in the supermarket yesterday and was eyeing up Fathers day cards - you know checking them out to see what ideas I could garner from them...... and I nearly fainted when I saw the price of them! none of them were under $5 and most of them were quite simple printed cards.  So just sayi...
