Cards for April

Hi there Creators,
Well almost at the end of March, and so here are the cards I'll be teaching in April.  The class dates are Wednesday 3rd 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 4th at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, then Saturday 6th at 10am in Maryborough.  Do let me know if you plan to come to one of the classes (and haven't done so already).

Best start showing you the cards!  This first one uses the stunning Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which is currently a Sale-a-Bration item till the end of March, so spend $90 and you can choose it for FREE! (you can't purchase this one at the moment).  I've also used the Label Me Pretty Stamp set with Matching Pretty Label Punch, and the lovely chunky ribbon is Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon.

 

Card #2, I thought we hadn't used the Stampin' Blends for a while (don't forget if you're using the Blends they are alcohol markers so you need to use memento ink for your base lines so it doesn't smudge with the pens.  I really love the way this card came out, I've used the Serene Garden Stamp set and Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp set.

Moving onto the next card, I think I had a couple of triangle off-cuts lying on my desk, so then of course I played with them, and Oh light bulb!  a pinwheel card lol, I've used the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper, such lovely colours in it, and paired it up with the Sunshine Sayings Stamp set and some Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed sequins (they're so pretty).

And the last card, I was asked for more heat embossing, so I thought it would be fun to have 2 embossed colours together - gold and silver (hope it works in class lol)  I've used the Sheet Music Stamp set with the Better together stamp set.  thought this saying was somewhat appropriate to the background 😆

 

As the silver/gold embossing is not so obvious in the above photo thought I'd give a close up too, this Sheet Music Stamp is really one of my favourite stamps!

oh and as you can see from this photo I've used the rectangle stitched framelit dies too (such a useful set of dies)
Well that's it!  I hope if you can't make it to class these cards inspire you to create in your own space.

Team Afternoon

Hi everyone,
well today we had a team afternoon, I thought I'd show you all the 2 cards we all made.
First of all I showed the ladies how to create a Magic Slider card,  like this (this one I'll be teaching at Bendigo Craft Alive over the 16th/17th and 18th June in a class each day)

those who are in my team will have access to the full video I made of it as it's now on our team FB page.  Then I showed them how to use the Lovely Laurel Thinlits to create the inside of cards like this

Lastly we made up a couple of cards with new products:
this first card uses the Pretty Label Punch with the Label Me Pretty Stamp set

And this other card uses the Lovely Words thinlits, and some of the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper, and the new hostess set Background Bits.

 We did have fun today! if you fancy joining my team, do ask me for more details, or check out the Page above (Join my team the CreateAbles), there is an exciting Stampin' Up! event coming up in November in Melbourne (so join soon!!)

I hope you're as excited as I am to be able to order from the new catalogue in 2 days time!
and I hope this inspires you to create.

God Bless love
