Cards for August Classes

Hi There,
I say it every month, but wow another month has gone by again!  Time to reveal the cards you can make with me in September.   Class dates for these 4 cards are:  Saturday 1st at 10am in Maryborough, and Wednesday 12th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie.

As our new Holiday catalogue starts on the 5th September, we're doing a bit of a sneak peek with a couple of the cards on the 1st but should be well into the swing of things by the 12! lol

This first card uses the lovely Beautiful Blizzard Stamp set and dies (they come as a bundle - yay for 10% off!)   there is also a saying inside the card that says "And you are extraordinary"

Next card also uses the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set (not the dies this time though)  I had someone ask me how to use the "splotchy" stamps that are part of this set, so thought I'd better have a go with them! 

Next I've gone back to the Annual Catalogue and using the Varied Vases Stamp set and punch, which again come as a bundle 😊  Do you notice how the vases are 2 toned?  I'll be showing you how to get that effect (how exciting)

And last but certainly not least!  with this card you have to pick one.  It uses the beautiful Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Paper of which there are 6 pieces that can be cut from the one sheet and create lovely cards, however as each one is different I've been trying to work out a way to use it in class, and this is what I came up with:

the banner and saying is from Banners for You stamp set and Bunch of Banners Framelit dies (which last year were bundled in the catalogue but they're not anymore😞)

If you plan to come to one of these classes do let me know, if you can't make it to any classes, I hope this has inspired you to create in your own space!
God Bless love

Stampin' Up! Christmas Cards for classes in December

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my new blog, I'm hoping to be able to work out how to offer much more with this blog!
Here are the cards I'll be teaching you in December (obviously focusing on Christmas)!
First up is this cute Cookie Cutter Christmas Card using the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle

isn't the reindeer gorgeous?  I've also used the Festive Textured impressions embossing folder  and the Layering Ovals Framelits.

Next up is this beautiful Silver bells card, I'm pleased with this card, I hope you like it tooI couldn't help thinking of the Christmas song my Mum used to sing when I was young called Silver Bells!  I took a close up of the bells so you can see that they are silver embossed too. This card uses the Seasonal Bells bundle and the Softly Falling Embossing folder Oh and to cut the saying at the bottom (which is part of the stamp set) I've used the Bunch of Banners Framelit dies.

I'm so pleased with the cards for this month, This next one I just lurve the dove!

So this card uses the Sunburst Thinlit die to create a mask for the background, And the beautiful Dove comes from Strength and Prayers Stamp set, which has some lovely words in it too, however these words came from Star of Light Stamp set."

And the last card after not using any really "Christmassy" colours I thought I should add some in!

this card uses the Oh What Fun Stamp set, the Hello You thinlit dies, some stars punched out using the Confetti Stars Punch.  I was thinking with die how to attach it to the card, that would be an easy way, and thought how cool it would be to have 3 gold lines behind it, so out came the Tear and Tape Adhesive, And I'm really happy with the way it turned out!

Do let me know your thoughts on these cards.  If you can make it to my classes they are Maryborough (Vic) Saturday 3rd December 10am, Bendigo - Wednesday 7th December 10.30am, and Laanecoorie (my new Classroom!) - Wednesday 14th December at 7.30pm

If you know you can't make it but would like instructions, do ask me, and if anyone would like a kit to create any of these cards let me know

I hope I have inspired you to create :)

God Bless love
