Something Saturday - Take to the Sky

 Hi there Creators,

Well, this week the video wasn't the longest, partly because I couldn't make up my mind how to finish off the card I am using the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper (DSP for short).  Partly as I don't yet own the stamp & die set "Adventurous Sky" which is happily in the the sale this month (there's 10% extra off stamp & die bundles till the end of June and also on the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machines)😁check out this link for all the bargains:  10% off Sale  

So here we go.......

This is the card I was playing with, I ended up changing the base card colour to Copper Clay which comes out in the airplanes, I've used the Unbounded Love stamp set to go with this card (and actually all the cards in this post!)

The next card I made up I used the Everyday Details Dies to create the frame piece, the cool thing with this is that it creates an inside frame as well as an outside frame (ie the holes are on both sides of the die cut (if that makes sense?)

and here's the inside piece of the same die cut!

And that's it!

If you missed the video, here it is.....

I hope this inspires you to play with your designer papers

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 Hi There Creators

Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique.

To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image.

I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think....

I did team it up with the fabulous sayings from Unbounded Love Stamp set (the dies that go with this stamp set are a must have!)

  Then to create shiny bits I've added some of the fine tip glue pen which dries shiny clear😍

I also said in the video I'd see what else I could make up with the set, so here we go..... (and of course I had to use some of the new In Colours)

How fabulous are these dies!?  I love that as it cuts out the outside piece you get the great dotted inner piece!

you can just about see the Wink Of Stella I used on the leaves in this close up (looks so much better in person!)

Anyway if you missed the video here it is:

I hope this inspires you to create (and look at your layer'ish stamp sets in a new way!)😁

Class cards for May

Hi there Creators,

I have worked out our class cards for May now woo hoo!  

Class dates are:  Tuesday 7th at 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 9th at 7pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 11th at 10.30am in Maryborough.  Class cost is $24 for 4 cards with envelopes.  It's important to book your place if you're coming to Laanecoorie as space is limited.

Here are the cards we'll be creating:

Using the beautiful Unbounded Love Bundle and Layers of Beauty (I've only used the stamp set here, but Oh My Goodness the bundle is so worth it!), also showcasing some of the new colours: Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie (guess which is which 🤣)

Then back in time a little as this was in the mini catalogue (if you want it, buy it now before the end of the month while it's still a bundle price with 10% off it!)  Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (stamps & dies)  again showcasing one of the "new" colours, although Pretty in Pink is actually an old colour with a come-back!

Moving onto the big Leaf Collection Stamp, and combining it with Layering leaves stamps and the matching Bough punch (which I thought went really well with this new big stamp)

And last but not least the pretty Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper paired up with the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder - which incidentally is huge!  at 8" x 6", you can fit a whole A5 sheet into it!

and "that's it folks" as they say at the end of the Looney Tunes Cartoons.  Hoping you can make it to one of my classes, if not I hope this inspires you to create in your own space 😊

God Bless love
