Cards for April Classes

 Hi there Creators

Yay, sharing our cards for my April Classes now, so I don't forget when my Mum is over!

Class dates in April are Friday 4th 1pm in my classroom Laanecoorie, and Saturday 5th at 10.30am at Wattle City Church Maryborough. Don't forget to book your place!

First up we have this card made with the Spring Corners Bundle (it's an Online bundle in case you're wondering where it arrived from!)  I was quite taken with the dies in particular, but of course some of them cut out images, and after having seen these cute little balloons on someone else's card I was hooked!🤣 also used the delicate Blooming pearls, I felt it needed something that wasn't really bold with this set!

Next up We have this card using Birthday Celebration Stamps, and One More Year Stamps, I love using the Brights colours with the One More Year Stamps, I really feel it lends itself to bright and fun!  Inside the card is a surprise saying of " At least you're not as old as you'll be next year" 🤣

3rd Card is this chest, I've used the Tags to Go Dies to create the locked chest, with a key to unlock their wishes 😉 the saying comes from Birthday Celebrations, and the Reindeer Memories Two-tone cardstock (which is reduced and on the last chance list) is embossed with the Dashing Designs 3D embossing Folder and then sanded. Oh also, some Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper in the background!  Thought it might make a good guys card.

Last but not least, is a choice card: (either/or)  As it takes a bit to colour in the turtles and starfish, so I thought that way people can choose their colour scheme and what they want on it!  I've used the Sea Turtles stamp set, Dotted Circles 3D embossing Folder, Labelled with Love punch (or at least 1/2 of it!) and the Tags of Thanks stamps.

And that's it!  I hope you can make it to class but if not I hope these inspire you to create.

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Concentric Shapes Cards

 Hi There Creators

Today I decided to have a go at something that's been brewing in my brain, and I'm happy with the way it turned out, not sure if there's a specific name for cards like this or if this is a Heather special!

The idea is to stamp a nice colourful image for the underneath image, then the same image as a plain image non-coloured in or less decorative.   This one then gets cut up with a series of dies that allow a small gap between them.  I thought it would be cool if the top image is raised and the best way I found of doing this was to add Foam Adhesive sheets to the back before it's cut, gives it a nice sturdy lift, plus saves faffing around with mini dimensionals and trying to cut them down!

Anyway here are the photos of the finished cards, and you end up making 2 cards out of the one cut!

these are the ones I made up first, using the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and the absolutely gorgeous Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments

So then onto the ones I created in the video, I've used the Sea Turtle Stamp set, some Gold Twisted thread, I added an extra cut out from the middle using the Tags to Go Dies, and the Riverside Irregular Pearls (kind of thought it might be appropriate for a "sea" based stamp set 🤣)

If you missed the video here it it:

I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless Love
