Cards for December Classes

 Hi There Creators

Well we've finally got to December and ALL Christmas cards! 😍 

Just in case you're planning to order any of these, some of them will be on the retiring list on 1st December, and in some cases they'll be reduced, however you might have to get in quick to get them!

Classes are Wednesday 7th 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 8th 7pm in Laanecoorie and Saturday 10th 10.30am in Maryborough. $20 to create all the projects.  Let me know if you plan to come along.

Here is the offering for December:

First up is this duo of card with little pillowbox bag made using the Pretty Pillowbox dies I couldn't resist using the whole piece of metallic and shimmer specialty paper to create this duo (they're 6x6 sheets)  Along with the Celebrating You stamps, and the absolutely gorgeous Gold Shimmer Ribbon

Next up is this fun card using the Spruced Up Outline Dies (this will be retiring come December, so look out for a great price on the individual components - ask me if you're not sure) and, a bit of a sneak peek from the next mini catalogue, with the Handdrawn Dots Stamps, saying comes from Inspired Thoughts, which is a great all rounder saying set.

Then I've used the Decorated with Happiness bundle, (this is also retiring come December, again check the individual prices, as it works out cheaper)  it just really appeals to me this set!, and also the Stitched Greenery Die in the background for a bit of added interest

Then  lastly I felt a need to go "Aussie" and figured a bit of wattle could be Christmassy too 😁 As the Aussie Christmas carol goes: Deck the Sheds with Bits of Wattle......

Here I've used the beautiful Texture Chic Memories & More Cards & Envelopes paired up with the Brightest Beauty Stamp set (again it will be on the retiring list at the beginning of Dec😔) and Decorated with Happiness stamp set (and some gold heat embossing - gotta have some bling.....)  I've finished off by stamping the saying directly onto the natural finish ribbon.

Well that's it, next month is January so we won't be having our usual classes due to holidays, however I do plan to do one of my Mega Classes on a Saturday mid to late Jan, once I have my hands on some of the new products I'll be working out what we're going to do.

Look forward to seeing you if you can make it to class, if not have a wonderful Christmas

God Bless love

Something Saturday - Ripped Cards

 Hi there Creators,

today I was mulling over what it would look like if rather than curling the ends like I did to create the scroll cards, I just ripped the cardstock, I rather like the effect and *bonus* you get 2 cards out of one ripping session 🤣 (and let's face it there's a certain satisfaction gained from ripping paper! lol)

Ok so the first 2 cards I'd made before the video, I had ripped kind of "triangles" out.  You'll need 2 pieces of Designer Paper (probably with a smallish pattern would be best), and you attach the ripped off pieces to one and the remainder to the other:

The first card shows the piece that I ripped the bits out of, and the second is the ripped out pieces. I used designer paper and white cardstock that measured 9.5cm x 13.8cm that way I could add a mat if I wanted to of 10cm x 14.3cm (which I did in the second lot of cards)

 I've gone with using the beautiful Hues of Happiness Designer Papers, and my "go to" sayings stamp set - Inspired Thoughts, it's such a handy set!

Then in the video I show off some new goodies I've just received: The Lights Aglow Suite, Oh my goodness! I really need to find time to play with the stamps and dies too lol  anyway, for starters I've used the Lights Aglow specialty papers (oh I love Gold.....)  All the sheets have gold foiling on them, ummmm, the goldfish is coming out in me.  Also used some of the Festive Pearls in both cards, they're really rather pretty, I can see myself using them a lot!  As I mention in the video they're a lot smaller in real life than in print (actually about 1/4 of the size).

Anyway I'm pretty sure you want to see how the cards turned out, I've used the Brightest Glow stamp set, which is in the suite.  I'm going to have to remember this ripped cards technique, I love the way the cards turned out. 

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

What do you think - will you give it a try?

I hope this inspires you to create, 

God Bless love
