Special Christmas Decoration Class November 2018

Hi there,
Just thought I'd let you know about an extra class I'm offering in November on Thursday 22nd at 10.30am and 7.30pm (or you can order a kit) ask me for more details about this.
And here is the main attraction .......

I'm so pleased with the way it turned out it uses the beautiful Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper, I've used the Merry Christmas to All Stamp set for the middle of the decoration, and the absolutely gorgeous Merry Merlot & Copper Reversible ribbon.
Just in case you want a bit of a close up of the middle and that gorgeous ribbon......

In the class you will receive a whole pack of the Designer Series Paper and a Tombow Adhesive to use in the class and to take home for more use.  And as an added extra, I will have a few extra bits ready for you to create some cards at home with the left over cut off pieces of Designer Series Paper and some extra instructions to create these cards:

With these cards I've used my favourite stamp set from the Holiday Catalogue, Timeless Tidings,  but potentially you could use another stamp set with some lovely sayings instead.

The in person class cost is $35 per person, and I need places booked and paid for by 12th November.

If you'd like to purchase a kit, and are happy to cut your own Designer Series Paper (it's pretty simple) then we can get away with $7.95 postage.  However if you'd prefer me to cut it all for you, I think the postage would be more, I'll have to check with Aussie Post.

 I hope this class piques your interest :)
And I hope it inspires you to create!
God Bless love

Step It Up with Timeless Tidings

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 fancy cutting or punches that people may or may not have, and when I started stamping I would have been proud to be able to send this out to people as their "homemade" Christmas card.  It uses only the Timeless Tidings Stamp set, and 3 colours, Garden green, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler.  The Cherry Cobbler has been "smudged" using a Blender Pen, these are clear pens that you can use to pick up colour and colour in with, or in this case once I stamped I used it straight away to move the colour inside the stamped image, just gives it a subtle hint of colour.  The other thing I did to make this card "bling" was spritzed it with a gold spray.  I used the (oh so in love with this) Gold Vegas Shimmer Paint.  I've poured some into a Stampin' Spritzer Bottle,(on a side note what amazing value are these? 2 for only $5!) topped it up with Rubbing Alcohol, shake it up and spray.......

Don't you just love that shimmer effect?
So, to step it up I wanted to use the same stamps in the same order, then add some extras, here's what I came up with:

Again it's not majorly complicated, but does require a spot of cutting with the Stampin' Trimmer, Paper Snips and the Layering Oval Framelits.  Then the added extra of the little metallic Leaves Trinkets, aren't they lovely?

If you look closely you can just see the gold glimmer on the tree oval.

The Flower I stamped twice on spare card, then cut them out and layered them up, it's a nice easy flower to do that with as the lines are not blurred in together.  Oh and in case you're wondering why the yellow colour doesn't look like Pumpkin Pie, it's because it's not! by the time I made this card I'd packed the Pumpkin Pie up to use in a class, so I went with Mango Melody instead😊

Well I hope this inspires you to create, do feel free to leave me comments, I always love to hear from people!

Sneak Peeks from the upcoming Holiday Catalogue

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 sayin' that these stunning cards are only $1.75 each when you break it down, how's that for value?!!

I'm guessing you want to see them now after all the hype lol here they are as a group, the kit will give you 5 of each design.

and now for a little closer.....

 there are gold stickers for each one........

 pretty little rhinestone jewels..........

 You don't have to colour them in.......

 

There are also matching envelopes!

 

OH, and the stamp set itself that you can purchase to go with it is currently one of my favourites too! Look what I made with it.....

Cards don't have to be complicated to be lovely - this little tree (and the font in the writing) was what really drew me to this stamp set.  Can you see the gold shimmer on the card?

Guess what? another "new" product, although this one is a "returning" product.  After a few years apart I still love it lol, it's called Shimmer Paint, I've used it here by adding it to a Stampin' Spritzer, which are remarkably cheap at only $5 for a pair of them, topped it up with some rubbing alcohol, and spritz'd away.  I now need to buy more spritzers because there's 4 colours of shimmer paints which incidentally are only $14 each........ soooo worth it!

Well I think that's probably enough "talking" from me today I hope you like what you see!
New catalogues will be on their way to people shortly, if you've ordered from me in the last year I should be sending you one.  If not but you really really want one, place an order or just let me know!  If you can't wait, I do have Coffee&Cards class on next Wednesday, and my interactive class on Thursday 23rd (and those who attend will be getting one).

I hope this inspires you to create!
God Bless love
