February 2017 Class Projects

Hi Everyone,
Wow we're almost at the end of January!  So here are my class cards for February, class dates are Wednesday 1st Feb at our new home in Kangaroo Flat - Rosedale (10.30am), Saturday 4th Feb in Maryborough (10am), and Wed 8th Feb in Laanecoorie (eve).
My mum reminded me that it's Valentines day in Feb, when I was on the phone to her yesterday, so I thought we'd best do something "Valentinesey" but as I'm not big on Valentines day, this one can be dressed up for the occasion, or just for a good friend:

 

I love the copper foil, and I'm pleased with the way it turned out I think the copper pairs nicely with the Cherry Cobbler colour (felt I'd better use a red for the occasion - lol)  the spots in the background are from one of my favourite Stamp sets "Gorgeous Grunge"And this saying is from "Suite Sentiments" it has some fabulous sayings in it!

Ok moving onto the next card:

 

Yes this one does seem to be 3 cards! however you get to pick 1! it uses the beautiful "Artisically Asian" stamp set, and the saying is from "Teeny tiny Sentiments" it's one of my Go To stamp sets for sayings, and I've used the handy notecards and envelopes.

Card #3 is this one:

 

I have long wanted to get this stamp set "Marquee Messages", and finally did the other day, I thought with my 3 boys it would be perfect for party invitations, not to mention a great one for boys birthday cards!  I just love the saying Party - like a rock star!

And the final card might be a bit familiar for those of you who've checked out my blog recently:)

 

 Using the pretty new lace doilies from the Occasions catalogue as a mask, and the lovely "So Very Much" Sale-a-Bration stamp set, (for every $90 of products you purchase, you get to choose 1 Sale-a-Bration product for FREE! - gotta love free stuff!)

So that's my February Class cards, if' you plan to come to one of my classes do let me know.  And if you can't make it but would like instructions send me a message.

If you would like to join my mailing list, don't forget to add your details😊 

Well I hope I have inspired you to Create

INKspiration Challenge Offical Launch

Hi Everyone,
Well I have been meaning to get into my craft room for this challenge for a week and 1/2 now, finally made it.... YAY!
I'm really pleased with this card, quite simple, and I think it'll be in my teaching next month!
So without further ado here it is:

 

The "brief" was to create a card using these colours, although I haven't used all of them (and I've substituted Blushing Bride for Flirty Flamingo)  I'm still quite chuffed with it!

 

You should be able to click on the icecream photo to check out what others have been doing over on the INKspiration Facebook site.
You might be wondering what I've used?  Well the ink colours are Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach, and Flirty Flamingo,  then I've taken one of the gorgeous new Lace Doilies, and used it as a mask with the 3 different colours, just daubing them over it, then moving the doily and doing the same again, till the background is covered.  Then I've taken the lovely Sale-a-Bration stamp, "So Very Much" and stamped that straight over the top using Sweet Sugarplum.

Remember for every $90 of product you order at the moment you do get to choose a FREE Sale-a-Bration item (YAY for free stuff 😊)

I hope I have inspired you to create
God Bless love

Sneak Peek Sale-a-Bration 2017 - So Very Much

Hi Everyone,
Here I am back again with another "Sneak Peek" (short post today) Let me know if you'd like to have the new catalogues and I can get them out to you.
This time it's a Sale-a-Bration (SAB) set called "So Very Much" remember from the 4th January for every $90 of products you order, you'll get to pick one of the SAB items for FREE - Yay!

I have finally used my Blossom Bunch Punch (Ooo and it rhymes - lol), so to make this card,

•  I've used 3 co-ordinating cardstock colours, and punched one whole punch (gives 3 different sized flowers) I've used Watermelon Wonder, Calypso coral and Flirty Flamingo,
•  I've sponged round the edge of each flower with watermelon wonder, then attached them together, the bottom 2 with a dimensional, and the top one just with a glue dot, then added a Pearl
• To do the saying I've inked up the top 1/3 with Watermelon wonder, then the next 2/3 with Calypso Coral, then baby wiped the bottom 1/3, and inked this up with Flirty Flamingo this gives the graduated effect with the colour, although had I thought about it, it probably would have had the same effect using the Calypso Coral Ombre Pad (famous last thought's as they say!)
• the leaves are from another new set called "So In Love"  I thought they set off the flowers nicely

That's kind of about it really! If you'd like to have a party during SAB it's well worth it, as there are extra benefits for hostesses, just let me know and we'll schedule it in
I hope this has inspired you to create
God Bless love
