 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show off the Suitcase Treat Boxes , I think they'd be perfect to gift jewelry in for Christmas or birthdays. This time I decided to decorate it with the  Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper , as I figured if I'm giving jewelry then it's likely to be for a girl, and this is very pink!🤣  Also essentials when doing this sort of thing are  Tombow Adhesive , as it gives you just a little bit of wiggle room when sticking down the elements, the  Take your pick tool , so useful for any projects but owing to needing to cut a small section out for the handle to poke through you can screw off the sticky end and and add in ..... Take your pick crafter tips 3 different tips one of which happens to be a blade.  lastly I finished it off with the  Pretty in Pink Bordered Ribbon  (which is definitely still current having checked it!) So as you can see I ended up making a card to match with some of the off cuts that were...

Cards for October class

 Hi there Creators, these are the cards we'll be making in my classes next month, the class dates are: Wednesday 5th 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 6th 7pm in Laanecoorie and Saturday 8th 10.30am in Maryborough. I thought we'd do 2 Christmas cards again this month, as we work our way up to 3 in November and 4 in December 🤣 This first card uses Quatrefoil embossing folder, then the Handmade wishes bundle (stamps and punch)  I love this punch I think it's so versatile!  I did do a blog/video on it back in July, you can see it here if you want to find out just how versatile it is: https://mccarthyheather.blogspot.com/2022/07/something-saturday-handmade-tag-punch.html ,  for some reason this embossing folder to me looks "Christmassy"  To see what I used click here: What Heather Used Last time someone mentioned that we hadn't done much by way of embossing folders recently, so this month we're rectifying that 😃  This next card uses Charming Landscapes Embos...

Something Saturday - Let's Mask Again

Image
 Hi there Creators,  This week I am showing off these new Artistic Mix Decorative Masks.  I love the way you can layer them up, and create a heap of different looks (they're actually even better than I thought they were!)  and at only $17.50 a bit of a bargain!  I used my blending brushes to brush the colour over them onto the card. In the video I show off creating backgrounds with them, but don't show off the finished cards, so here we go...... they are actually very simple cards just with a bit of ribbon and the odd embellishment, only 2 of them actually have extra cardstock - the Christmas one uses the Label Me Lovely Punch, and the blue one at the top of the second photo just uses 2 cut squares.  The others are all stamped directly on top of the masking (I like economical card-making 😉) You might remember the Wisteria Wishes stamp set I've been using recently?  this first card uses the flowers upside down to create trees to make a Christmas card (...

Next up, I can't resist the pull of the ocean..... with Waves of Inspiration (and another new In Colour) Number 3 (if you know me you'll know I love all things gold🤣)  This uses the gilded leafing, along with the quite cool Beautiful Shapes dies, and Biggest Wish Stamps Last but not least I've dug out the Celebrate Sunflowers Sta...
