Cards for November

Hi there,
My Goodness we're almost into November, I figured as we count down to Christmas that it might be a plan to do just Christmas Cards in Nov and Dec, so here goes.....  The classes that we'll be doing these cards at are: 3rd Nov Maryborough 10am, Then 14th Nov Laanecoorie at 10.30am and 7.30pm

First up an Aussie Santa card...

this uses the So Santa stamp set, and the fabulous Pattern Party Decorative Masks. 

Card #2 uses the Limited edition Snowfall thinlits and Snow is Glistening Stamp set, with a spot of Watercolouring in the background using the Brusho Crystal Colours on watercolour paper

Moving on to card #3 I've used one of my new fav embossing folders - Swirls and Curls, also uses the limited edition Snowfall thinlits, and white velvet paper to create the pretty snowflake. Oh and the stamp set/thinlit bundle is Merry Christmas to All.

And the last card is.... Oh my goodness this bow has to be my absolute favourite stamp currently! from the stamp set Wishing You Well, I'd originally stamped it 3 times, but then thought how cool it would look with the Merry Merlot & Copper reversible ribbon as one of the bows, what do you think?.

Ok well that's it!  do let me know if you are hoping to make it to one of the classes, be lovely to see you!
I hope these inspire you to create,
God Bless love

Cards for October

Hi Everyone,
Sorry it's been a while since you heard from me!  But here I am again :)
Wow it's nearly the end of the month, so for next month I thought we'd settle into Christmas with 3 of the cards for the month, and one bright summery one!  Classes for these cards next month (November) are on the 1st Bendigo, 4th Maryborough and 8th (eve) Laanecoorie
 Let's start with the bright summery one, because I really love it! lol

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I hadn't bought this Iridescent Sequin Assortment before! and for 1c per sequin wow what awesome value!, got to show you a close up of them..... I've also used a new stamp set to me: Hello Friend, along with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks.

How gorgeous are they?!! I think I'm in love again! lol

Ok ok, I'll move onto card #2 (we'll come back to that later.......lol)
Right, the first of the Christmas cards!

this one uses the Merry Little Labels Stamp set (comes as a bundle with the Everyday Label Punch), the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing folder (which I haven't used much before, but I really like the effect it gives!, what do you think?)  I've also used the 2" circle to punch out the saying, and the Starburst Punch under it, and what do you think of the bow? this is from the Holly Berry Builder Punch, and the extra bits are drawn on (no tying involved!)

Card #3 uses one of my favourite sets for Christmas words - Snowflake Sentiments, (comes as a bundle with dies) I think the font that's been used on the words is beautiful!

I've also used the Winter Wonder Embossing folder, but not as a folder through the Bigshot, just inked up and pressed on!  and the Houses are not stamped!  they're from the Just Add Colour Specialty Designer Series Paper, add a bit of Dazzling Diamonds and pop them up on Dimensionals (have to admit that I use Dimensionals all the time, have you tried them yourself?  did you know that dimensionals come in 2 sizes, and for $6 you get 300 big ones or 720 mini dimensionals! (and that doesn't include the outside bits that I cut up and use too)

Last but not least Card #4 I just had to use Every Good Wish Stamp set

I've teamed it up with Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist, and also *drum roll* the ultra gorgeous Year of Cheer Washi Tape (looks way better in real life than here)  Oh and not forgetting the leaf Punch (I really do hope this one moves into the next catalogue too, I use it so much!)

Well I did say that I'd get back to that first card, so thought I'd show you the other variations I made with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks....... Do you know what the pack is only $10 for the 4 masks, that's only $2.50 per mask! how's that for value!!

 

Saved the best for last (I think)  which one is your favourite?, let me know!

 

Ok well I hope this inspires you to create, and I look forward to seeing whoever can make it to the classes this month.

God Bless love
